Mr. James Bowtuale (Rums ll,se t); Mr. Speaker, coating as I do trotaW�t . +► county which, to mouldered one of the leading agriculturalcounties of Oa. terio, I might say. In the Dominion of Cli,nad*, I think it ie my duty to say a few words with regard to the applicetion of tate Budget to the vari- etal, nutuetriee in my county, Before doirail se wish to tender my mot beam, congratulations to the Minister of Finance for the very efficient man. nee in which he hae conducted the -figaucee ut this country educe taking calico. His work during the peat ahtee yearn ban shown the Waster hand, and his ability nee never snout: forte with greater brilliancy than ter introducing Lane Budget. The minis- ter was called upon to devise ways and means to meet extraordinary ciecnmstances, which have beeu brought about in this country by the war, resulting in a falling elf of the trade of this country, with a conse- quent decrease hi the amount of re- venue collected and available to meet ordinary eitpensee. Then, too, several million dollars must be provided ae a nucleus for a pension fund for our eoldiere, and also a sum of 87,00000 as interest upon the war loan, the $160,000.000 which has been tailed for the purpose of mobilizing .our soldiers and sending them to the front to fight in defence of the Empire. The minis- ter bad to devise ways and means to meet thee, expenditures, and in doing so he bad a choice of three prin. ciplee as the basis of the method of taxation. Two of collecting these prineiptep •have been tried in this country. We had the, policy of re- venue tariff which was tried some years ago, prior to 1878 It was then put in practice by a Liberal Govern. went. That tariff was 15 per cent. in the beginning, and was afterwards increased to 17e per cent. Is is me necessary to telt the people of this country the position in which Canada stood at that time. It was anything but good; our manufacturing indua• closed, our labouring were c s men thrown out of employ meet. As a result of that, the business men of this country sent a delegation to Ottawa to wait on Sir Richard Cart - Wright, then Minister of Finance, ask• ing that he give a metlsure of pro tec tion to the interests of -this country. However. he ignored . their request, they bad to go home nnsatibfied. But. it was not very long until a man rose to the occasion in the person of that statesman, Sir John A. Macdonald. He espoused the policy of protection and made it a plank in his platform during the election of 1878, with the result that he carried this country frith an overwhelming majority. He continued that policy of protection consistently for the 18 years that bis Government were in crnce, subject of course to certain regulations which were necessary to comply with the needs of the country. During that time what were our Liberal friends in this country doing? They were still advocating a revenue tariff. Io 1891 they advocated unrestricted recipro. city with the United Stater, and later on, prior to the election: of 1896, they advocated free trade as they have it in Great Britain. During that time the people of Canada rejected these policies; tey rejected cted the revenue tariff and also reciprocity with the United States; and prior to the eieo• tion of 1806 Hon. Edward Blake, who was considered one of the leadir g statesman among our honoured friend,+ challenged them before they talked of free trade as being practicable in Canada, to devise some possible plan whereby the revenue needs cf this country could be met in any Ether way than by placing a duty on goods similar to thole which were produced in this country. That was the chal- lenge thrown out by the Hon. Edward Blake. The Hon. gentleman opposite never devised any feasible plan nor have they done so up to the preeent time. What did they dr„? They were retuned to power in 1800. They were not returned as a result of the policies which they had advocated, but they were relearned oz{ an issue that Wtts foreign to the seal policy of this country.
