The following is a full report of the speech delivered by Mr. Greenway, M. P. for South Huron, on the occasion of the recent debate on the tariff resolutions and Sir John Macdonald's amendment. Mr. Greenway said :. Mr. Speaker -Without attempting at this stage to inflict on the House a lengthened speech, I desire to make a very few remarks upon the cinestion now before the House; and in doing so, per- haps I might claim the indulgence of honorable members if I should refer to matters semewhat personal to myself. In coining here, Sir, my desire was to divest myself, as much as possible, of' party prejudices, being one of those who had for a long time entertained the idea that there had been too much acrimony displayed and too much recrimination indulged in, and, as a consequence, the interests of thie great country, in which we all pride ourselves, were too often sacrificed to that of party, and I think, Sir, the scenes recently witnessed ' in ithis House prove the position which I itook to be a correct one. In the year 875, when T had phe honor of being lected to a seat in this House, my posi- ion was an independent one. I had de- lared that I would jud0 of questions pon their merits -a position I had al- ays taken -desiring to be always able o give no intelligent reason for every ote I. might` be called upon to record. n pursuance of this pledge given my onstituents, I came here and was in- roduced as an independent member, and such have endeavored to act. And ow, Sir, a few words as to this ques- ion of Free Trade apd Proteetion, and I may be permitted to say that long before this question became a party one, I held and expressed very decided views upon the subject.] In the session of last year, it will be remembered, this question came before the House and was discuss- ed in connection with the appointment of the committee on the depression of trade. Up to this time, Sir, it was not a party issue, and during that long dis- cussion I had the opportunity. of ascer- taining the views of 'many of my lead- ing constituents by correspondence and otherwise, and while the debate was still in progress, I had occasion to visit my riding and while there had the privi- lege of addressing • quite a number at a public meeting, and did not find in all these communications a single voice rais- ed or a letter written in favor of protec- tion. All, without reference to political party or creed, were in favor of free trade or a revenue tariff. As these views were in accordance with my own, I felt it to be my duty, when this matter came before us in the motien of the right hon- orable member for Kingston, affirming, as it did, the principle of protecaion-I say I then felt it to be my duty to vote against it, being one of those who can- not understand how the depression, now bearing so heavily upon the people of this country, is to be mitigated by plac- ing additional burdens upon the people, by increasing the price of every article of consumption, and representing, as I have the honor to do, one of the finest agricultural constituencies in this Do- minion -in which the- people are prin- cipally consumers -I do not now pro- pose, as I did not upon that occasion, to cast my vote in favor of a measure to enhance the cost of every necessary of life, and put `money in the pockets of the manufacturers. Well, Sir, I gave that vote at that time in accordance, as I've said, with my often expressed con- victions, as 1 felt bound to do, and for that act was called a traitor, was ostra- cised and read oat of a great party in this country, was told I had sold myself to this Government for a position, and was to step d wn and out at the close of the session t make room for another gentleman. With regard to these charges it is scarcely now necessary to say they were without foundation. Time has shown how much ground there was for them. And all this abuse was heaped upon me because I had dared to vote • upon what I esteemed to be the only defensible side of this great question, -a question which we are now told is to di- vide the great political parties of, this country. But be that as it may, it is my intention to record nay vote as I did upon the former occasion against the amendment of the right honorable mem- ber for Kingston. The views expressed so forcibly by the honorable Premier on this subject, are those that coincide with - my own. • Now, a word with regard to the tariff and its changes, as presented to us by the honorable Finance Minister. An honorable member says what about tea. Well, I will say ioreference to tea, that I think the Government could not have selected a better article when ad- ditional revenue was required, upon which to place, a small additional tax. Perhaps for many years there has not been in the history of the trade of the country a time when tea was cheaper than at the present, and I think with the honorable member for North York it is a small thing to talk about this two cents per pound. It will no more in- crease the price to the consumer than the additional one cent per pound upon malt will make the glass of beer any more than five cents. Both may have the effect of decreasing the profits of the retailer to that extent. A good deal of ado is being made about this one cent upon malt, and the honorable member for Carlton spoke .with a good deal of earnestness upon this matter, and was pleased to say that this dreadful burden almost amounted to prohibition. With regard to that statement, Sir, permit me to say that if it went stillllfurther and effected crohihition altogetier, it would receive my most hearty support. Then, again, with regard to the ar icle of coal oil, I am satisfied that is a step in the right direction -a step which will be ap- preciated by our people -as it will give them an article which has now become a necessary of life at about ene-half the late price, and the history of, the coal oil trade furnishes us with a very fair illus- tration of the fallacy of the doctrine of protection. But, in coocluaion, let me say it is my intention, while I have the honor of a seat in this Houae, to adopt what I conceive to be the right side of every question that may comp before it, and having chosen such a course, I am prepared to accept the consequences. • Canada.
