THE ONENESS OF THE
Bill ['MU EMPIRE.
Mr. McNeill's resolution, which
carried iti the Ilouse at Ottawa, is
is one of the most important wise
that his been acoeded t, b: any
Parliament of Centdr. It •tfrms
the principle of British iuteeerity
and the oneness Or th s British Em-
pire. And that outlyiug eerie ut
t'te Empire should giv i a preference
iu trade matters to other portions
of the Empire that will recipocate.

will be prepared to accord corres•
.ponding a, ivan,ages by a •suhetauttiaal
reductim in the duties it imposes
upon British manuf2lctured goods. '
The Grit ame'u haunt that WAS de-
feated was:
••Inasmuch as Great Britain admits
the products of Canada into her ports
free of duty, this House is of the
opinion that the present scale of
duties exacted on sods mainly im-
ported from Great Britain should be
reduce -1."
The .huthi,•e, very properly points
out where the sting lay iu the Grit
amendment, au l the hypuoriuy of
its supportors,hy wanting the duties
on goods mctindy imported , from
Britain to be reduced. That is if
Britaiu will give us preferential
trade we will give Britian advau
tages in our market which we will
also give to other countries. This
is the Grit and American idea of
rociproetty. Britain is to give us
0°u:wesi it's if we will give couces-
sio.is to Britain, but the concessions
we make to Britain will ilei shared
by other countries who still keep
up their almost prohibitory tariff
against Britaiu and us.

And the Mitchell Recorder, with
whom we have often crossed peas,
