THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY. To that end we undertook that stupendous work, the Canadian Pacific Railway, undeferred by the pessimietic views of our opponents. Nay, in spite of their etrenuous and even malignant opposition we pushed forward. what great enterprise through the wilds north of Dake Superior, toro.Js the Western prairies, over the Rocky Mountains to the shore or the Pacific, with such inflexible resolution that in seven years after the asaumption of office by the present Administration the dream tzf our put lin men was an accomplished tacct, and I myself ex- perienced the proud satisfaction of looking hack from the steps cam car upon the Rooky .Mountains fringing the eastern sky, SUBSIDIZED STEAMSHIP LINES,, The Canadian Pacific Railway now extends from ocean to Ocean, opening up and developing the country at a marvellous ate, and forming an im- perial highway to the east over which the trade of the Indies is destined to reach the markets of Europe, We have subsidized steamship lines on both cceana--to Europe, China, Japan, Australia and the West Indies, We have spent millions on the extension and improvenaent of our canal eyatem. We have, by liberal grants ofaubaidies, promoted the building of railways, now become an absolute necessity, until the whole country is covered as with a net work ; and we have done all this with eels prudence and caution that our credit in the money markets of the world le higher to day than it has ever tie• n and filo rate of interest on our debt, which ra the true meaaure of the public burdens, is less than it was when we took a flee in 1878.

TR IDE AND OOM\1ERCE, As in 1878, 1882. and again in 1887, so in 1891, no questions relining to the trade and commerce of the country, occupy a foremost place in the public mind. Out policy in respect thereto is to day what it has been for the past thirteen years, and is directed by a firm determination to foster and de- velop the varied resources of the Do- minion by every means in our ower, consistent with Canada's position as an integral portion of the British Em- pire. To that end we have labored in the past and we propose to continue In the work to wheel eve have applied ourselves of builuing up on thiscontin- ent under the flag of England, a great and powerful nation. CANADA'S POSITION IN 1878. When, in 1878, we were palled upon to administer the affairs of the Domin- ion, Canada occupied a position in the eyes of the world very different from that which she enjoys to day At that time a profound depression hung like a pall over the whole country, from the Atlantic Ocean to the western limits of the Province ot Ontario, be- yond which to the Rocky Mountains stretched a vast and almost unknown wilderness. Trade was depressed, manufactures languished and exposed to ruinous competition. Canadians were fast sinking into the position of being mere hewers of wood and draw ers of water for the great nation dwell- ing to the south of us. We determined to change this unhappy state of things. We '+f that Cadada, with its agricul- ture sources, rich in its fisheries, timberland mineral wealth, was worthy of a nobler position than that of being a slaughter market. for the United States. We said to the Americans:— "We are perfectly wilting to trade with you on equal terms. We •are desiroua of having a fair reciprocity treaty, but we will not consent to open our markets to you whileyours remain. closed to us." So we inaugurated the National Policy. You all know what followed. Almost, as if by magic, the - whole faceof the country underwent a change. Stagnation, and apathy, and gloom -aye, and want and misery. ton—gave place to activity, and enter prise, and prosperity. The miners of Noya Scotia took ccuraf;e.The manu- facturing industries in our great cen- tres revived and multiplied. The farmer found a market for hie produce the artisan and laborer employment at good wages. and all Canada rejoiced under the quickening impulse of new found lite. The age of deficits was past, and an overflowing treasury gave to the Government the means of carry- ing forward diose great works necess- ary to the.realizatton of our purpose to make this country a homogeneous American and retained, or, as is very probable, increased on the British article ? Would not the inevitable. result be a displacement of the duty paying goods of the Mother Country by these of the United States? And this would mean an additional loss to the revenue of many millions more. Alli APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE. Electors of Canada, I appeal to you to consider well the .full meaning of this proposition. You—I speak now more particularly to the people of the Province of Ontario—are already taxed directly for school purposes, for town. ship purposes, for county purposes, white to the the Government there la expressly given by the eoa- atitution the right to impose direct taxateen. This latter evil you have so ter escaped, but as the material re- sources of the Province diminish, as they ere now diminishing, the local Government will be driven to supple- ment its revenue derived from fixed sources by a direct tax, And is not this enough, think you, without your being called on by a .Dominion tax gatherer with a yearly demand for 115 a family to meet the obligations of the Ventral Government? Gentlemen, this is what unreatrtoted reciprocity in- volves, Do eau Itke the prospect 2 This la what we aro opposing and what we ask you to condemn by your votes. ATTITUDE of Tnl QR T PARTY. Durnig all this time what has been the attitude of the Reform party ? Vacillating in their policy, and incen- ataney Rae 1 as regards their lead le. they have at least been eonelatent in tins pnrtioular that they have unilorr. ly opposed every measure which Wel for its object the development of our ommon country. The National l'oficv was a failure before it find been tried. Under it we could not possibly raise a revenue aufTlotent for the public re- quirements, twine exposed that fall. acy "!'hen we were to pay more for the home manufactured article than we used to when we imported Ivory thing from abroad. We were to be the prey of rings and monopolies, and the manufaoturets were to extort their own prices. %\'hen these fe.ara had been proved unfounded, we were aasur•. ed that over competition would inevit- ably prove the ruin of the manulact uring industries, and thaw bring about a state of affairs, worse than that which the National Policy bad boon designed to meet, It wait the same with the Canadian Pacifio Railway. The whole project according to our opponents, was a chimera. The engineering difficulties were insuperable ; the road even if mistreated, w.'uld never pay. Well, c. ntlemen, the project was feasible, the engineering difficulties were overcome, and the road does pay. ONLY LIIXCRIEa TAXED Under our present quern a Iran may targety determine the awouut of his contrrbutiona to the Dominion ex- chequer. The amount of Sts tax is atwava in etiroot proportion to his means. If he is mon and clan afford to drink ahatattiagne he has to pay a tax of $1 ., 0 for every bottle he 'hues.

Taxan A=.ii omen OBJECTIONS. 1 have pointed out to you a few of the material objections to this scheme of uerestriotell reotprocity, to which Ur Laurier and ,S'irRichard Cartwright Were committed the liberal parte but they aro not the only ohject.ons, nor, in my ops ion. are they the moat vital. FOR BRITISH CONNECTION. For tr century and a half this (Man - try had grown and flouris'.ieri under the protecting aegis of the British Crown. rho gallant race who first bore to our shores the blessiuga of civeization passed by an easy trap. anion from French to English rule, and now force one of the most law-abiding portions of the community, 'These pioneers were speedily recruited by the advent ot a loyal ban of British subjects, who gave up everything tied men most prize, and were content to begin life atiew in the wilderness rather than forego allegiance to their sovereign. rhe descendants of these men and of the multitude of English men, Irishmen and Scotahmen who emigrated to Cana.la that they might build up new homes without ceasing to be British subjects, to you, Canadi- ans, I appeal. and I ask you what have you to Bain by surrendering that which your fathers held most dear ? Under the broad folds of the Union Jack we enjoy the most ample liberty to govern ourselves as we please. and at the same time we participate in the advantages which flow from ass toiation with the mighteat empire the world has ever seen. Not only are we free to manage our domestic concerns, but, practically, we possess the privilege of making our own treaties with foreign countries, and iu our relations with the outs'de world we enjoy the pre- stige inspired by a consciousness of the fact that behind us towers the majesty ot England. THE QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL. The question which you will shortly be called upon to determine resolves itself into this. Snail we endanger our possession of the great heritage bequeathed to us by our fathers, and submit ourselves to direct tags lion for the privilege of having our tariff fixe•t at Washington, with a prospect ot ultimately becomtng a portion of the American union ? CONFIDENCE 1N THE JUDGMENT OF THE ELECTORS. T commend these issues to your de- termination and to the judgment of the whole people of Canada with an unclouded confi•lence that you will proclaim to the world your resolve to ebow yourselves not unworthy of the proud distinction you enjoy ot being numbered among the most dutiful and loyal subjects of our beloved Queen. OPPOSED TO "VEILED TREASON." • As for myself', my course is clear, A British subject I was born. A British subject I will die. With my utmost effort ! with my' last breath 1 will I oppose the "veiled treason," which attempts by sordid means and mercen- ary proffers to lure our people from their allegiance. During my long pub- lic service of nearly half a century I have been true to my country and its best interests, and I appeal with equal confidence to the men who have trusted me in the past, and to the young hope ot the country, with whom rests its destinies for the future, to give me their united and strenuous aid in thin my last effort for the unity of the Empire and the preservation of our commercial and political freedom I remain, gentlemen,. Your faithful servant, .JOHN A MACDONA LD, Ottawa, 7th February, 1891 A NEW DL•`PARTURL•`. Disappointed by the failure of all their predictions, and convinced that nothing is to be gained by further apposition on the old lines, the Reform party has taken a new departure and has anno ,need its policy to be uuie striated reciprocity—that is (as defined by its author, 1r Wiman, in the North American Review a few days ago), free trade with the 'United St •tee and a common tariff with the United States against the rest of the world. The adoption of this policy would involve, among other grave evils, disorient -3a tion against the Mother Country. This fact is adm tted by no less a personage than Sir Richard Cartwright, who in his speech at Pemhrooke, on October 31st, 1893, is re. orted to have said :— 'Some men whose opinions 1 respect, entertain objections to this (unrestrict- ed reciprocity) proposition. They argue, and argue with force, that it will be necessary t,n' us if we enter into such an arrangement, to admit the goods of the United States on more Iavornble terms than those of the Mother Country. Nor did I deny that that is an objection, and not a light one," MARKET REPORTS.

The advo- cates of unrestricted reciprocity on this side of the line deny that it wonld have such an effect, though its friends in the United States urge as the chief reason for its adoption that unrestrict- ed reciprocity'would be the first step u, the direction of political union. DIRECT TAXATION There is, however, one obvious con- sequence of this scheme which nobody has the hardihood to dispute, and that is, that unrestricted reciprocity would necessitate the imposition of direct taxation, amounting to not less than fourteen millions of dollars annually upon the people of this country. This foot is clearly set forth in areinarkabie letter addressed a few days ago by Mr E W Thomson—a Radical and free trader—to the Toronto Globe, on the staff of which paper he was lately an editorial writer, whichnotwithstanding the Globe. with characteristic untair. nese, refused to publish but which, nevertheless, reached the pub lo through another source. Mr Thomson points ont with great clearness that the lo.e of customs revenue levied upon articles now entering this coun- try from the United States in the event of the adoption• of the policy of unrestricted reciprocity would amount to not less than seven millions of dollars annually. Moreover, this by no means represents the total loss to revenue which the adoption of such a policy would entail.
