that I do not forget that all tariffs
are more or ;less protective --the great
reason for this difficulty being that tin
building up a protective tariff wo are
endeavoring to dam the natural e te-
nets of *trade 1 and divert trade into
channele artIfIclally which it. would not
otherwise seek. :And the individual or
Party who willenterinto a co MeV
with nature will find a mighty iard
wall to butt lagainst. That is on of
the great realons why the old (Kat anal
Polley failed ,ee lamentably to ae-
domplish the object of its prom ters,
And it is because the proposition now
nefore the Ilonse and the eountrY con. -
forms more nloeelY to natural di -
tions than any other policy we save
had In thie entz.ntry for a great thanv
years that leads me to believe th t- it
will be so iminensely beneficial t the
.country. .
Now, Mr. Chairman, 1 wisb to r»ake
a little departure, and, In doing o, I
speak entirely on my own responsiblity.
To use a sporting phrase, 1/ 'wish to
cas,t a ball. off tny own tat. I know
from expressions ueed by my hon.
friend the Firaziee Mingter that a and
the merhbers of i the Cabinet are not
prepared to -f new as far as a Would
like to lead, attd also that ma y of
my hon. '£rlen'cLad on this side woula tot
agree with the eentiments and id W5 I
am about tolexpress. However, 1 bs-
lieve those idhas to be in the lbest in-
terests of the country, and ther fore
that it is m duty to give e ,ut-
terance.
l' th I be ieve that the best iseal
policy for tin emmtry Is absolute tree
trade, the pulp revenue to, be . col-
lected by tbe, a mptest and most in-
expensive method of direction tax tion
that can nos4ib1y be devised. Under
such a policy: many leaks which now
exist, and evhieh will always exist un-
der the prase t pallcy, no mattir what
Government or ,party may be in 00NytT•
er, would be lstopped. But I am also
free to say that I do not thin , at
the present tiaan sueh sepolley in rae-
doable. There I's a peculiar feet Bean
human nature which induces Most peo-
ple to prefer ii, dollar and a , half
through the itcultous methods oIF the
customs hous to paying a dollar dir-
ectly into th
roubles treasury or to
the tax collector. SO, even were the
Finance liainietet willing to make eo
revolutionary a change as I have tinge
gested, I do not think that the people
policy, hoe
would ammo
not praeticab
It Is not neee sary for me to diseueS it
further. Bat what I believe le preen -
cable, and what I believe the colintrY
would approve of is this: That • Can-
ada .should make as free, open and full
fiscal arrangements -with every ther
country as that country will make with
her. If, for example, the United St &tee
would agree to reduce their tariff to
a len or twenty per cent 'basis, then, I
say, Canada should reduce her tariff to
the same bails; If the United States
would oven go further and agree to id we found it to our kadvantagetto ,,do ; the
,
farm Canada has beaters the elicit
lay down the r tariff wail entireli ai SO. If at any time our fartnens or , _ t 4
- I allow after eh vr held on the aMerleall
