| Stn JOHN ON TARIFF REFORM, |

Ix the course of his recent address at Halifay, Sir John Thompson is reported | to have said that there is no feeling that

inspires more pride in one’s courtry, or

convinces one more fully that Canada has within the sight of all of us,a | hation with the greatest possibility for the | future, that any country in this world has. | He also said that the financial character of Canada to-day, stands unequalled in the public markets of the world, and con- tinued: I have reminded you, sir, that

become,

this has not been done without great risks. One of those risks, and one of

those sacrifices, is that to-day the perman- ent charges upon our country, to be met every year, consists of $16,000,000 of public money Jn addition to that, nine or ten millions of dollars a tired to be placed in the budget, for th maintenance of pablic works, an absolutely charge not subject to the re vision of parliament. Ifyou cancel tha

equivalent asset, @

charge vou cancel an for instance, take YHE EXPENDITURE IN CONNECTION WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS including the 1.C.R. If you cancel the charge which is required for the conduet and management of those works you must | likewise cancel the asset, represented by | the earnings of those public works. Take two or three other other charges such as | necessary burden of our Indian service, | our civil service, and two or three other i such clharges,and you have a tota! like } $27,000,000, before you consider the items | | which are open to the debate of parlia- ment at all. Those items which are open to the criticism and debate of parliament, | and about which the committee ou supp!y¢ | of the House of Commons shall vote, ot not vote, amount only to about three mil- | lion of dollars more than they were 15 | years ago, W hen our opponents went out of office. (Applanse.) Therefore, sir ' when we come to deal with that “diaboii cal” subject of taxation, the “diabolical tariff’ when we come to

| to sav nothing of |

that, we have to face the fact that twenty- | seven millions of dollars are required to be raised simply by the mechanical pro- | cess of taxation in this country, without the expression or will of parliament at al). | And with regard to the eight,

twelve millions «f dollars which may be at the discretion of parliament to vote or not to vote, we claim that, in the past, that money has been well expended in the public improvements which have been | put in this country from one end of it to the other, increasing the credit of the country as well as the convenience of ihe | people. We claim that that expenditure } has been wisely and judiciously spent,

Now, sir, what we say with regard to |

| the tartif is that, in the first place, there j are very many pvints in which it can be | | improved—as regards tie administration | of the tariff itself and the method of lecting the reveune. With lessening the inconveniences upon the various classes of the

The point which you and I as taxpayers bave to settle between ourselves is how to raise this revenue and how tolevy this tariff. Well, sir, we propose to levy it in such a | Way as to raise a revenue, in so far as it is | possible it can be raised, on those articles | Which can be produced in our own coun- jtry. If there is a factory in the United | States producing goods which are pro- | duced ina factory in Canada, we jntend | to say, notwithstanding the cry of tariff reform and revenue tariff, that the goods which are produced in the American fac- tory shal! pay a duty and give the prefer- ence to the goods manufactured in Canada

| That is protection, and that is precisely | obst Mr. Laurier says they will never adopt. (Applause.) Let us see how our opponents are going to raise a revenne— and it is the only thing they are obliged } to do—they must raive this revenne by | taxing articles, which the Canadian peo- | ple cannot produce, but which they con- sume, and which they will import and

pay taxes upon. They, therefore, mean to discriminate always in favor of the foreign producer as against the producer in Can- ada. Do you suppose that any set of pub- | lic men are in earnest who propose a | scheme like that? Ido not. I de not hey lieve that if thé reform party eame into power to-morrow they would raise a reven- ne upon any other principle than tha which I have suggested; because thet ablest men that pariy has ever produced have declared that it is impossible to have

“free trade” in this country, and they therefore must be ali-ad to the principle of protection to

the extent of the whole revenue which the country requires. (Applanze.) ————>-< He Was Convinced,
