The Liberal party promised more
than that. Q'1T.e promised preferential
trade with estreat Britain and we are
now carrying out that promise. The
Conservative !party are very much
meek and humble now, because they
were obliged to eat humble pie by
the electorate, but for years they
claimed that they were the loyal
party, that they were the men who
had associations for the purpose of
bringing around preferential trade
with Great Britain. What a change
has come over them. Today one
speaker after another on the Con-
servative side of the House rises in
.his place to throw cold water upon
this loyal and ,patrio`ic National
Policy which oar Government has
proposed. Let tine bring this matter
in a more tangible form before hon.
gentlemen. Let me point out that
in 1892, the Liberal party foreshad-
owed this policy of preferential trade
with Great Britain. We offered this
policy to the Conservative party by
resolution, but the Conservatives
would not accept it. Let ane show
how loyal and how British these men
opposite are. Why, the most British
and most loyal man in this House—
or at least he supposes he is—was the
author of the following resolution.
In April. 1892, Mr, McNeill moved:
