- In the House of clomrnons, on Thursday,
the member for Booth Huron, delivered the
following speech, on the tariff
Kr, CAMERON. (110ron) said. that if any-
thing were wanted to satisfy him that the
resolutions submitted were uot as peppier,
and not flo tow* in the interest of the great

speech Oda the bon,. gentleman had last

as a protectionist..'Itwas tate that in .the

He had in his hands an extract .frotn a
speech which had' been delivered by the
hon. gentleman at the time Of the elections.
The hon. gentleman heathen declared that

tnost successful, speculative operations ever
engaged in. • During last year $438,000
worth Of machinery Was imported, -and this
tile bon, gentleman proposed to tax. This
policy ecould be deetructiVe te Sone of our
manufacturing industries.. The Miuistet

lion. gentleman , also proposed 'a; tax on

ter had undettaken to change the Witt in
this direction, and the Hon. Minieter ef.

he doubted whether 11 larger duty could be
levied without increasing Miele': distillation
and eintuggling, width would 130 extremelY
injurious, and require a larger expenditure
along the boandary between °attain and
the United Statee: The smile argu Mont and
reasoning now epplied. Tho hon. gentle..
man had undertaken todeal with the salt
interest,.. and if one industry mere than
another in Canada desiredthe careful eon.'
eielerett ion of hon. gentlemen opposite, and
ought toescape from the hands of the Min-
ister of Finance, it was the salt intermit, in
which more than a utillien of dollars were
invested on the shores of Lake Huron, from
Kincardine to New Dublin. It employed
a great number of men, turned out an im-
mense quantity of salt, and' had saved to
the country during the last ten peen, over
$5,000,000. When salt was struck in that
region, it was selling for $1.70 a barrel, and
the present price was 75 cents to 80 cents
delivered. The hon. gentleman's policy
would paralyse And strike a fatal blew at
this industry; though only some 0,300 bar-
rels 9f American salt could be excluded, nrid
this could be manufactured in -sit days.
Thisindustry was languishing, but the lion,
gentleman had killed it, and it would never
revive unless this policy was chaeged. The
lion. gentlemen ,wa9. eaxiiig boiler -plating,
-need in the manufacture of the pans, tub-
ing, cool, the rivets used in the cans, the
bricks used in the furnactis and chimneys,
and the gotten used in making" bags. A
supporter of the hon. gentleman wheen he
had seet, a few days age on this very-ques.
tion wrotehim (Mr. Carneron) that the ef-
fect of this policy was to increase the coat
of manufacturing stilt ten cents a barrel.
The hon. gentleman on one hand had un-
dertaken to deal 'with this industry, and
with the ether hand crushed it to the
ground ; to protect, and he had *med.- it
to, be -liberal to the people of the western
section, mid yet had destroyed one of their
