aton, in soliciting at your hands a renewal of the confidence which I have enjoyed, as a minister of the crown for thirty years, it is, I think, convenient that I should take ad- Montreal vantage of the oceasion to define the atti- oct3Q _— tude of the Government, in which I am firat minister, towards the leading political issues | of the day.

y ; D F RT | As in 1878, in 1882, and again in 1887, ‘soin 1891, do questions relating to the

trade and commerce of the country occupy

is higher to-day than it has ever been, and the rate of interest on our debt, which is the true measure of the public burdens, is less than it was when we took office in 1878.

During all this time, what has been the attitude of the Reform party / Vacillating in their policy and inconstancy itself as re- gards their leaders, they have at least been consistent in this particular, that they have uniformly opposed every measure which had for its object the development

of our common country. The Nationa] Policy was a failure before it had been tried. Unde it we could no” possibly raise a revenue suffi- cient for the public requirements.

TIME EXPOSED THAT POLICY.

Then we were to pay more for the home man- ufactured article than we used to when we bought everything abroad. We were to be the prey of :ings and monoplies, and the manufacturers wire to extort their own prices. When these facte had been proved uvfvunded, we were assurred that over-com- petition wouid inevitably prove the ruin of the manufactu: ing industries, and thus bri

about a state of affaire worse than that wick the Nationa] Policy had been designed to meet- It was the same with the Canadian Pavitio Rail- way.’ The whole project, according to our opponents, was a chimera. The engineering difficulties were iusupzrable; the road, even it consiinet-d, would never pay. Well, gentle- men, the project was feasible, the engineering difficulties were overcome, and the road does!

pay-

Disappointed by the failure of all their pre- dictions, and convinced that nothing is to b gained by further opposition on th: cld ‘ines, the Reform party has taken & new departure and hus announced its policy to be Unrestrict- ed Reciprocity, that is, (as defined by its author, Mr. Wiman, in the North American Review a few days ago) free trade with the United States and a cummon tariff with the the United States against the rest of the world.

The adoption of this policy would involve, among other grave evils, disc: imination against the muther country. This fact is sadmitied by no jess a personage than Sir Richard Oart- wright, whoin his speech at Pembroke, on October, 2ist, 1890, is reported to have said :

‘Some men, whose opinious I respect, enter-

a foremust place in the public mind. Our pulicy 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 develop the varied resources of the Dominion by every means in our power consistent with Canada’s position as an in-

tegral portiou of the British Empire.

When in 1878 we were called upon to ad-! minister the affiirs of the Deominion, Can-, ada 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 pecorons from the Atlantic ocean to the western limits of the province of Ontario, beyond which to the Rocky Mountains ‘stretched a vast and almost unknown wil-

derness. Trade was depressed; manufac- | tures languished, and, exposed to ruin- ous competition, Canadians were fast sink-

tain objections to this (Uurestricted Recipro city) proposition. They argue, and argue with force, that ic will be necessary for us, if we enter into such an arrangement, to admit t'e goods of the United States on more favorable terms than those of the mother couutry; nor do i deny that that is an objection, and not a light one.”

It would, in my opinion, inevitably resuit in the ann: xation ot this Dominion to the UniredStates The advocates of Uarestricted Reciprocity on this side of the line deny that it would have such <n effect, though its fiiends in the United States urge a8 the chief reason for its adoption that Unrestricted Reciprocity

WOULD BE THE FIKST STEP

in the direction of political union.

There is, however, one obvious consequence of this scheme which nobody has tne hardi- hood to dispute, and that is, that Unrestrict- ed Reciprocity would necessitate the imposi- tion of diiect taxation, amounting to vot less than fourteen miilions of dollars annual y upon the people of this country. This fact 1s ckarly set forth in a remarkable letter ad- dressed a few days ago by E, W. Thomson, « radical and free trader, to the Toronto Globe, on the staff of which paper he was lately an editorial writer, which, the Globe, with characteristic unfairness, refused to pub- lish, but which, nevertheless, reached the public through another source. Mr. ‘Thomeson points cut with great clearness that the loss of customs revenue levied upon articles now entering this conntry from the United States, in ‘he event of the adop- tion of the policy of unrestricted reciprocity, would amount to not less thanseven millions of doliars annualiy. Moreover, this by no mesns represents the total logs to the revenue, whi b the aduption of such a policy would entail. If American manufacturers now compete favorably with British goods, despite an oquul duty, What do you suppose would huppen if the duty were removed from th. American, and retained, or aa is very prob- able, increased, on the British article? Would not the inevita'! le result be a displacement of the duty p ying goods of the mother country by those of the United States? And this would mean an additional loss to the revenue of many milions more .

Electera of Canada, I appeal to you to con- sider well the full meaning of this proposition. You—I speak now more particularly to the people of this province of Ontario—are already taxed directly for school purposes,

while to the provincial government there is expressly given by the constitution the right

stricted reciprocity, to whick Mr. Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright have committed the liberal party, but they are not the only objections, nor in my opinion are they the most vital.

FOR A CENTURY AND A HALF this country h«s grown and flourished under the protecting «yis of the British crown. The galiant race who first bore to our shores the biersings of civi ization passwd by an eusy tiaus: ion from French te knglish rule, and now fuim one of the most law-abiding portions of the community. ‘hese pioneers were speedily recruited by the advent of « loyal band of British subjects, who gave up everything that men most prize, and were content to begin life anew in the wilderness rather than forego allegiance to the sovereign. To the descendants of these men and of the multitude of Engiishmen, lrishmen and Seotecmen, who emgrated to Canada, that they might beild up new homes without ceasing to be British subjects, to you, Can- adians I appeal, and I »#sk you what have you to gain by surrendering that which your tathers he:id must dear? Under the broad folds of the Union Jack we enjoy the most ample libe:ty to govern omselves as Wwe please, and at the same time, we participate in the advantages which flow from assuoia. tion with the mightiest empire the world has ever seen. Not only are we free to manage our own domestic copserns, but practically, we possess the privilege of m»king our own treatis with toreiga cvuutries, and in our relations wiih the outside world, We enjoy the prestige inspired by ao eonseiousness of the fact that behind us towers the msjesty of England, The question whieh you will shortly be called upon to determine

RESOLVES ITSELF INTO THIS ¢

Shall we endanger our possession of the great heritage bequeathed to us by our tathers, and supmit ourselves to direct taxa- tion for the privilege of having our turiff fixed at Washington, with a prospect of ulti- mately becoming a portion of the American Uaion ? I commend these issues to your determi- nation, and to the judgment of the whole people of Canada, with an unclouded confi- dence that you will proclaim to the world your resolve to show you selves not uoworthy of the proud distinction that you enjoy—of being numbered among the most datitu! and loyal subjects of our beloved Queen. As for myself—my course is clear. A British subject I was born—a British subject I wili die, With my utmost effort, with m latest breath, will I eppose the “*v iled treason” which attempts by sordid means and mercena y protiers to lure our people from theit «liegiance. During my tong pubiie service of neatly half a century, I have beea true to my couutry and iis besc interests, and 1 appeal with equal confidence to the men whe have trusted me in the past, and to the young hope of the country, with whom rests its destinies for the future, to give me their united and strenuous aid in tuis my last effort for the unity of the empire the preservation @f our commercial and political tieedom. 1 remain gentlemen, your faithful servant, Joun A.

to impose direct taxation. This latter evil you have so far escaped, but as the materia’ resources of the provinces diminish, as they are now diminishing,

THE LUCAL GOVERNMENT

will be driven to supplement its revenue de- rived 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 fer $15 a fami.y, to meet the obligations of the central govern- ment.

Gentlemen, this is what unrestricted reci- precity involves. Do you like the prospect? This is what we are opposing, and what we ask you to condemn by your votes,

Under our present system a man may largely determine the amount of his contri- butions to the Dominion exchequer. The amount of this tax is always in direct pro- portion to his means. Li he is rich and can afford to drink champagne, he has to pay a tax of $1.50 for every bottle he buys. If he be a r man he contents himself with a cup of tea, on which there is no du'y, and 80 on all through the list. If he is #ble to afford all mauner of luxuries he pays a large sum into the coffers of the government. If he is a man of moderate means and able to epjoy an o-casional luxury, he pays accordingly. If he is a poor man his contribution~ to the trea tury are reduced toa minimum. With direct taxation, no matter -what may be the prcu- niary position of the taxpayer—times may be hard—crops may have failed—sickoess or other calamity may have fallen on the family, stili the inexorable tex collector comes and exacts his trbute. Dves not ours seem to be the more equitable plan? It is the one under which we have lived and thrived and to which the government I lead proposes {to adhere.
