In a speech delivered to his constitue ents in the county of Bothwell, a few days ago, Hon. David Mills submitted the following facts and figures., which plainly tell their own story, and which should be read and remembered by every man who takes an interest in the affairs of his country. la referring to the trade policy of the late Government he said. The country will no more have forgotten than the Members who were in the House of Commons at the .time, the extraordinary spectacle presented by the late Goyemment in 1870, when they announced at 5 p. m. their deter- mination to stand by the tariff as it was and at 7.30 came down with a proposi- tion to modify it by imposing a tax on coal, salt andbreadstuffset This change was made at the instance of Dr. Tup- per, who was not then a Member of the Ad.ministratiori. These -modificaltions the Doetor defended at length, as also did. Sir John Macdonald; while Sir A. who at that time still ,declared hireself am advocate of the fiscal policy which he bad enuneiated iii 1866, as vigorously opposed. them. Dr. Tupper did not seriously pretend to argue at that time that the changes he proposed in the taxiff were proposed as a means to an end -that end being the freedo-m of trade of which he stated he had al- ways been a zealous advocate. The ground upon whichhe supported his proposition was this; - He said the pol- icy of retalietion was calculated to se- • care a modification of -the tariff of the -United States in favor of _Canada, and be (john Macdonald) .expressed himself in a similar way. If we couldenot se- cure reciprocity in trade, they argued, we were -to have 0, reciprocity of tariffs -or, I thinks the expression then used by Dr. Tupper was that we were t6 adopt- towards the United. States A RETALIATORY POLICY. ° The phrase "reciprocity of tariffs ", was a later invention. Such was the ground • taken in 1870 when the " National Itolt icy" first saw the light. The following year, however, the "National Policy was abandoned,haying been voted down by an immense majority, although the Reform party at the time formed not more than one-third of the representa- tion in the House of Commons. A large mejoeity of the Conservatives, who had the year before supported . the policy, united with the Reformers after it had been tried. for one year,iii voting it down in order not t6 subject themselves to the odium attaching to it at the general elec- tions whieh Were shortly to follow. From that period until after Sir John Mae- donald andthis party were obliged to leave office they made no serious attempt to modify the tariff in the direction of protection to manufactures or any other class of the community. • It was not after they were driven from power, and were seeking for something which therregarded as a popular ory, thatthe policy of proteotion was adopted as the policy of the Conservative party. After tracing the various steps of pro, gress made by the Opposition in -their advacacy for Protection from the time they fell into the cold shades of Opposi- tion until the commencement of last session Mr. Mills quoted the resolution •VALUABLE FAUX 1FOB SAT:R.-Far Sale, Y Lot 11, Con. 8, IL R.

It wa mere- ly intended to please everybody, Q catch votes to secure popular favor, t serve as a sort of ladder by which th se who framed it could climb to office, a d. then having served their purpose it might easily be kicked away. This re olution also c ntains an assertion that Ihave well mgh passed. by unnoticed ; it as- sumes that there is at the presfinetime a very large emigration to the United States from Canada. This iswholly er, roneous. I pointed. out in 1876 that the emigration from the most hi1i1y pro- tected district in the United -St tes was very much greater than from • ny part of Canada, and Mr. Ross, the member from West Middlesex, surpr sed Sir John Macdonald., very much hen he pointed out most effectively hat the emigration was much less tha under our predecessors:, that in 187 it was 47,024;.in 1872, 30,454; in 187 ,42,021; and in 1876, only 21,616. Th re never was a time in the history of Ca,nade, when so few -were leaving the country as last yeax. We are opening fanitoba and the Northwest, and thi her our people who leave the oldest rovinces go. Die Tupper ooraplained Ithat the Finance Minister so misman ged the affairs of the country that her has been a deficit for the past thee years, and that no steps have been taken to remedy what is termed "this great dis- aster.'."

So you •see there was brought into the country, the product of the industries of other nations, to use the language of Dr. Tupper, to compete. with our home industries, nearly $32,000,000 Worth a year more in the two last years of the late administration, than in the last year of our Government. Now, I am not con tendieg that Canada was injured by these importations. I am not con- tending that her people were less pros- perous in consequence of them; but I am pointing out that the facts stated prove conslusively that if there is less pros perity now than formerly, it is not in consequence. of our having purchased abroad those things which we can buy -more cheaply than we cacanproduce, and. which we buy abroad. because we can produce the means of purchasing them - more easily than we could the articles theraselves ; that it was not because the Doctor and his colleagues prevented foreign imports, for they i were much greater then than they have been since. Both Dr. Tupper and Sir John Macdon- ald, in addressing the House of Com- mons 'declared it as their deliberate opinion that the list of free imported. goods should be enlarged, -that all raw material should be free, 'and that ma- chinery employed in the manufacture of forigngoods which we import • should also be free. They intimd ate that there should' be other changes in the tariff, and that the "native indus- tries" required these other changes to be made. Well, if this be the case these gentlemen must have determined. w industries are, and what are not suffer- ing, what -would. be improved, But have they undertaken to specify? How can they say that further protection it needed, if they don't at St. Lawrence. The imports vary con- siderably in different years. For 1875-6 we imported. 5,000,000 lbs. from Great Britain, 5,000,000 lbs. from the United States 1,086.000 lbs. from China, and 2,250,000 lbs. from japan.. The only effect of this discriminating tax was to compel the merchants of Ontario not -to purchase their . teas in the American markets, even where it was most con- venient for them to do so. The -result is that the ship loads of tea that were formerly carried. into Canada b3 the St. Lawrence at a cost Of $170,000 to the Canadian population, are now, it is true, carried by New York, but carried. by Canadian ships.
