In .1892 the then Conservative Government continued their negotiations. The Can- adian Customs Tariff Act of 1894 con- tains a standing proposal, in several of its clauses, to enttkely remit or to reduce duties on a lona list, of articles produced by the United States, pro- vided similar concessions are made with reference to Canadian products; ao that, Sir, you will. observe that as late as 1894, that is two years before the Conservative Government went out of power, they placed this stands ing offer upon the Canadian Sta- tutes. Their course throughout was persistently consistent. end consistent- ly persistent in an attempt to get, freer trade relations, and yet the Honor- abre Provincial Treaserer takes the position that even the old Reciprocity Treaty web an injury to Canada. The late Sir John Thompson in 1894 (see Hansard vol. 1, pp. 1505-6) informed the House that, "the Conservative Government had dispatched an agent to Washington td ascertain whether it. was the desire of the United State§ Goverument to enter into negotiations wih the Government of Canada on the subject of Tariff Concessiona." In. 1896 the Liberals continued similar negotiations; but the Honorable the Peovincial Treasurer tells us. notwith. standing that the leaders of both par- ties were a unit in b lleving that freer trade relatiens would be beneficial to 7ianada, that such is not the case, and that as a matter of fact t.:.e old treaty was injurious. The honorable gentle- man, I repeat, Sir, has taken on dur- ng this debate an extremely heavy oad. He has swallowed his own peat ecord with reference to taxation of c`orporations, the Succession Dutiee townehips, that the results will Act, the Brewers and Distillers' ,Ls, .11OW be Increased expenditure by the pro- ceoses, the proper classification of vince, with the further inferential re - accounts, as to Indian treaty No. 3; but he now, Sir, adds to this the Her- 'suit that the province derives ' no benefit Item these settlers; but that eulean task of swallowing the whole past commei:cial history of the Dom- the • Dominion is greatly benefited by inion Conservative party at Ottawa. He says in effect with reference to those great chieftains, the late Sir John A. Macdonald, the late Sir Leon- ard Tilley, the late Sir John Thomp- son, and others; "'I shouted for you in your lifetime. but under pressure of party exigiences now I recall all that, and I Say to you now that •you were all wrong." I repeat, Mr. Speak- er, that this is rather a heavy lead.. • that' the Honorable the Provincial - Treasurer attempts to lay upon the.. shoulders of his provincial following; and I apprehend that he will experi- ence very considerable difficulty in- deed in getting them to swing into line on such a heretofore unheard of and absurd proposal. • The T. & N. 0.

Then again, Sir, the Temiseinning and Northern Ontario Railway should have branch coloniza- • tion lines.

It is an absolute mistaketocharge exces- sive freight and other rates in order to attempt to produce annually a bal- ance 'on the right side. It does not lie in the mouth of any citizen of Old Ontario to say to this or any other Government, you must at once make that road absolutely pay. The pio- neers have a right to be treated -liber- ally. It is true that the forest wealth and the mineral wealth belongs not to the Northland especially, but to the whole Province of Ontario; but, It. is also aqually true, Sir, that the pro- vince has ever since Confederation. derived a very large percentage of its revenue from that Northland.

The old slogan has been sounded in this debateethat "trade follows the flag." That may be true in the ex- perimental stage, whet . any empire is pursuing re eolonization policy; but as applied to the :trade of nations generally it is a distinct economic heresy. What bonstitutes •the trade of one country With another? An, empire per se does not trade with: another empire per se.

That individual men, partnerships, . companies . and corporations will sell in the dearest • market and buy in the cheapest goes without saying. They do this abso- lutely regardless of the flag; there- fore to .say that "the flag rules trade" is simply to give utterance to au economic heresy, that no sane bilainnee man - 'rake.
