In respect of all these settieles eh& 'United States supplies a market of competitiop, not of coesump- RCM. These articles make up the larg- AO part of the farmer's exportable eproducts, and of them Great Britain took last year nearly thirty times as much as the United States. When cops fall in the neighboring country, the Americans will buy our barley, peas, potatoes and hay, dteties, or no dirties; while whon the fruits of the non are bountiful with them they do not require our surplus farm stuff at any price. With Great Britain the case stands drefferently. There production always fells short of consumpteou, and a steady market of brauertse proportion evens the Canadian farmer at all *times. Even f o r those articles specially aimed at by the Ameri- nan tariff oar farmers are find - rug an outlet in the motherland, as tbe Bellowing statement will shosve— EXPOIMS TO GREA.T BRITATN. 1890 1803 1891 Verses ...$ 17,925 $274,310 $ 400,507 Eve 820 538,941 503,533 Barley , 12,017 278,515 44,269 Hay ..... 109,634 515,161 1,700,402 National Policy to remove the tax- ation, as much as possible, from all articles that cannot be produced he Canada.

THE VALUE OF COLONLALTRADE TO GREAT BRITAIN. Mr. W. II. Mitchell, of 13urley4re. Warfdale, near Bradford, a good ex- ponent of fiscal federation, says, in a pamphlet on that subject hIf we take the statistics of trade be- tween Great Britain on the one side, and: the three countries from which we draw our chief foreign supplies of food and raw neaterials—the 'United States, France end ,Russia—ort the other, we find that theee eountries do not take half as made ftom us as we do from them, or ite other words, that they spend less then ten shillings with us for every sovereign Niro spend with them. But it we „emexpare, with this the trade between ourselves' and our colonies and Possessious, we find that they take frout ns nearly as much as we take from them ; in fact, that for every twenty shilling, we spend. with them, they spend nineteen shillings with us. I need scarcely ask which Of these trades gives the most employ- ment to our people. Again, if we take the edue to us as customers, of our fellow -subjects in the colonies, and compare it with the value of foreigners., man for man, we find that one Can- adian takes more of our productions than three, one South .Africa more than ten, and one Australian more than fifteen citizens of the United States, France or Germany." $140.396 81,607,230 $2,048,718 To have increased the sales to Great Britain of these four articles in five short years to such enormous propor- tions is an. achievement indicative not, (ally of the pluck of Canadian farmers, but on the existence of a British mar- ket which only requires proper culti- vation to become of permanent and great value. Summing up the -whole matter, it is obvious (I) that the condi- tion of agriculture in Canada, as measured by the export trade, has rapidly improved during the past fiye years: (2) that the British market is Incomparably the best, after the home Marken and (3) that tee hostile tariff legislation of The United States has utterly failed of its avowed purposes fo coerce or starve the Canadian farmers into unrestricted reciprocity Or corn ercial union.

The position of the Liberals on the general trade policy of Canada has un- dergone veiny and remarkable changes. In the time of the old reciprocity treaty they were generally in favor of it and of a revenue tariff upon manufactured goods, as indee& were both political parties at that time.

The Welland Canal was opened for gation on Tuesday. only evil upon the country. They were then Free Traders in prineiPlei emulated the British system, and m- veighed against protection in all its forms, citing that of the Unita States as the most dangerous of all. The de- feats of 1878 and 1882 did not diniin- isb their opposition to pxotection nor lighten theniassaults upon its principles and its alleged effects. Along with their opposition to the National Policy, they pleaded for a reciprocity treaty with the United States, on the old lines of that of 1851, and blamed, the Liberal -Conservatives for not successfully accomplishing R. Defeat and the most vogeot argu- ment of good results se -en on every baud which it was impossible for them to declaim away, brought a charge in 1887, unclothe leader of their party, Hon. Edward Blake, announced that change in, his celebrated Malvern speech in January of that year, in these words:— "No risen, I care not how convin- ced an advocate. of Free Trade for Canada he may he, has as yet sugges- ted—no man, I believe can suggest a practicable plane . whereby oer great revenue needs cau be inet otherwise thau by the continued imposition of very high duties on goods similar to those we make or can =eke within our bounds, or on the raw materials; r invite the tnoSt ardent free trader in public life to present a plausible solu- tion of this problem, and I contend that he is bound to do so before he talks of Free Trade as practicable in Canada. I have not believed it soluble in my day; and any chance of its solubility, if chance there were, has been destroyed by the vast increase of our yearly charge and by the other conditions which have been created. The thing is removed from the domain of practical polities." In these plain words' he renounces in the name of his party, their former heresy of Free Trade as impracticable and bound himself, Sir Richard and bis followers to adhere to the polity of a Protection in all its essential con- ditions. On this platform he 'appealed to the country but the country distrusted the genuineness of the party's conversion oa the eve of a general election, and maintained its faith in the old policy of 1878 and in its consistent adherents. Shortly after the elections of 1887, Erastus •Wlinan, e Canadian, resident in New York, conceived the idea of a new propaganda. This was to be the salvation of Canada, or. rather of the shattered fortunes of the Liberal party, and he was to be its chief apostle. It Was in fact, the child of a United States politiciau of little note, named Mr. Hitt, and was known as Commer- cial Union. The idea, was simply that:— • 1. The tariff of the United States should be adopted by Canada.. 2. The Customs Houses were to be abolished between Canada and the United States, but maintained against the rest Of the world. 3. 'The import duties collected in both countries were to be pooled and divided. on a per capita basis between the two countries. This was preached through Canada and the United States by Mr. Whiten. It was enthusiastically adopted by the Liberal papers in large part, by the Liberal leaders, Mr. Blake and Mr. Mackenzie excepted, and for a time promised to become the evangel of the party in Canada. Sir Richard Cartwright in 1888, on March 14th, moved the following reso- lution in the House of Commons:— "That it is highly desireable that the largest possible freedom of commercial intercourse „should obtain between the Dominion of Canada and' the United States, and that it is expedient tbat all articles inanufacthred in, or natural products of either said countries, should be free of duty into the ports of the other (articles subject to ditties, excise or of internal revinue alone excepted); that it is further ex- pedient that the Governraent of the Dominion should take steps at an early date to ascertain on what terms and conditions arrangententscan beeffectecl with tbe Unitecl States for the purpose of securing full and unrestricted recip- rocity of trade therewith." This is in substance, but not in- de- tail Mr. Hitt's and Mr. Wilma's plan. The resolution was silent as to details, but was accepted by Mr. Wiman as equivalent to has own scheme and as such received from him equal and like ,advocaey as his own. In 1887, Mr. Laurier (the leader of the Liberal party), Sir Richard Cart- wright, John Charlton, Mr. Longley (Attorney -General of NovaScotia),Prof. Golclwin Smith, and other lights of the party, put themselves in constant com- munication with Mr. Whxian, Mr. Hitt, Mr. Butterworth and others, 'United States politicians at Washington; they made missions to that city and to New York and to Boston, and cablecl with men there for the purpose of inducing them to assist in the successful carry- ing out of their plan. What. then, was this new policy up- on which the Liberal leaders settled as the policy for the Canadian people? Let its sponsors and origin eters answer. Mr. Hitt said:— "What is commereial Union with Canada? It means as set out in this restitution,. the adoption by both coun- tries of precisely tha'same tariff of duties, or taxesto be 'eider), upon goods coming from abroad; abolishing alto- gether our line of custom houses ore the north by which we. collect tion of thattreaty in 1808, they pro- claimed themselves favorable to an at- tempt to have it renewers, although not at the, price of national honour or material interests. The Hon. George Brown, shining Liberal light, thus expressed himself with reference theretoo— "But be this as it might, it, was not for the people of Canada to be influ- enced by any such anticipation. They had shown their ability to open new marketsfor themselveswhen the Amer- ieau market was closed against them, and the clear path for theru was to fol- low with redoubledrenerger and persev- erance the -policy on which they had entered. Let them seek to develop their great natural indastries, and es- pecially the agricultural, shipping, fish- use,sr mineral and lumber mdustries. Let them open up new Markets adapt- ed to their traffic, and leethe Canadian flag be found fleeting on every sea." Hon. Alexander McKenzie in a speech Made a few years afterwards said: I cleprecate theidea of cringing to the Americans. I appreciate fuller tbe benefits of reciprocity, but Ido not think ib becomes us, under present cir- cumstances, to make any efforts for its renewal. I believe that we shoeld pur- sue our trade policy without regard to reciprocity." And Sir Richard Cartwright, Char- lottetown, in 1878, made tins declara- tion "If you say you are going to feighte the United States into reciprocity by imposing certa,in duties on a,rticles n OW coning in from that country, all lbave to say is this, that the men who tell you that reciprocity with the United States is essential to your existence, are, in my opinion, playing airiest un- wise and unpatriotic part. 1 don't deny the ad vantages of I free and fair exchange with the United States but I say that Canada is not so dependent as these men wonid have itt to suppose, on the markets of the United States': that we are able to. hold our own with United States in any market that is tariff duties on goods coming from equally open to the competition of us Canada; aboliehing their custom both." --Speech at Charlottetown on houses along the sante line by which Aug. 16th, 1878.

That entrance upon this path woulcl have inevitably lead to complete dependence upon the United States, and to ultimate absorption within. Upon this fad the Liberals wont to the country in 1801, and staked their all upon it. Happily for the • country the intelligence of theelectorsdeclared against them by an overwhelming majority. Thousands upon thousands of honest Liberals to -day acknowledge their mistake at the last election and thank their stars the traitorous party did not prevail. Defeated in the elections of 1891, the Liberal leaders began to look about for some other plans and scheme to defeat the Conservative Party. Free Trade became the shibboleth once more but in a pow form. At a meeting in Montreal on the to,ncl January, 1805, Mr. Laurier declared as follows:— * "The Libex-al Party believe in Free Trade on. broad. lines such as exist in Great Britain, and upon that plabforni, exemplified. as I have told you, the Liberal Party will fightits nest battle." Another distinguished leader of the .Liberal Party has deelared in meet un- mistakeable language that as soon as b is friends getan to p ow er"every vestige of protection shall be swept away," which means that. all the inclustriee of Canacla that have been fostered and encouraged by the National Policy,and. in which millions of Capital haye been invested shall be subjecteclto merellees competition from all the ceder and etrongermanufacturingeountries of the world. But one result, can follow the introduction of emit a policy; and that e return to ehe munitions of 1870-7-8, when lumclueds of ehe workshops of Canada were closed, artizans turned ont into the streets, thousands of them compelled to seek employmeu I; in a foreign land while children and wives went penniless and starving in nearly all the large towns and cities of the Dominion. What do the workingmen o2Canada think of such a policy? and what do the farmers tnink of leaders who declare that if returned to power they will adopt the old policy of Free Trade with the United. States as far as farm products aro concerned, tpolicy that was uni versally coudemn ed by the agriculterists of Canada en 1876, and Nvhich 'can bring nothing but rnin and disaster to hireling operations in this .country? The government of the United S ta tes has uever offered tcrareat with Canada ripen fair and honorable terms, nor have they since the abrog- ation of the former Reciprocity Treaty ever propoSecl any other measure of reciprocity with Canada in terms that Canadians cold for a moment enter - vain. The policy of the Liberal leaders would destroy th e farmers best market at home by allowing foreign produce to conae in free of duty, and drive out of the country thoosands of consumers who now filed e,mployment in the fac- tories and workshops ef Canada.
