Other testimony equally damaging, equal- ly clear, was dragged out of the unwilling Grit witnesses, and it was further proved that cases of liquer were distributed and the county completely demoralized by this im- maculate member of the Party of Purity.

Reciprecity and Opposition to Customs Union.

(Halifas Herald.)

That the late Hon. Joseph squarely opposed to commercial union ad- mits of no doubt whatever. Commercial union, as detined by its advocates, means that there shall be a customs tariff union between the two countries. This question was raised by Mr. Huntington in the House of Commons in 1870. It was heartily ypposed by Mr. Mackenzie, then leader of the Opposition. Mr. Howe also spoke at length in opposition to this commercial union scheme, reviewing it in all its phases and summarily rejecting the entire proposi- tion, The resolutions were finally modi- to leave out the commercial inion phase of the question altogether, and even then rejected on a division of 100 to 58. Mr. Howe voted with the majority.

teciprocity is a question of a different nature and scope altogether. Reciprocity in manufactured goods, the United States have rejected wholly on the plea that, as the Canadian tariff is lower than the American, British goods would enter American mark- ets via Canada and undersell the American home products. Reciprocity in natural products the Americans have likewise re- jected, on the plea that our natural pro- ducts are not worth negotiating for, while at the same time the American producers protest agaiust against the admission of Canadian fish, lumber, coal, and breadstuffs, free of duty.

In fact, so opposed are the Americans to reciprocity of any kind whatever, that no later than February 25th, 1887, the follow- ing resolution passed the Senate, and was referred to the finance committee without division :

Resolved, That it is the judgment of the Senate that under present circumstances no negotiation should be undertakea with Great Britain in regard to existtng difficulties with her province of Canada which has for its object the reduction, change or abolition of any of our existing duties on imports,

Howe was

fied so as

These facts speak for themselves. Those who tavor a customs union with the United States only injure their own scheme by attempting to confuse the several questions under discussion.
