‘of ti... Dominion. and Published by

Authority of the Honorable -Thos. A. Low. Minister of" Trade "and Commerce- in the-chapter devoted to the History of Canada. pages 16-77; is to be found the following reference to the National Policy: ' The change of Government In 101s was generally recognis- ed as. due to s growing feeling in" favor of a protective policy for Canada. a policy which the Conservative party had- adopt- ed, but to which the Liberal loader, MscKenxie, was strong- gyppposed. A tariff which may he. taken as constituting the first phase oi whatlias since been known as the National~ Policy was introduced by the then Finance Minister. -5ll‘- Leonard Talley, in the session of 1879, the effect of which was tpjrnlse the customs duties to an "average oi about ll0 per cent- The first tariff adopted under Confederation, while establish- sln! lice trade among the prov- inces, had imposed duties aver- aging 16 per cent on allgoods ffom abroad. This had been increased to 17% per cent dur- lsg the Liberal regime, which

“milled coincided in the main, with

a period of great financial de- pression The new tariff was thus a decided step in the dir- ection of protection. and was held to be justified by its effect on the trade of the country

"The writer for whom Hon. Mr. Low has made himself responsible. whether himself or another, evid- ently wrote this favorable notice of the National Policy before his leader had decided to sound "the death knell of protection?) as eni- bodied in the Robb tariff. We ought perhaps to thank him for his frank confession that the National Policy was “due to a growing feel- ing in favor of a protective policy" and that it "was held to be justified by its effect on the trade of the country." That statement reads strangely when placed beside some of the recent deiiverances of Mr. how's ministerial colleagues dur- ingthe budget debate.

The same writer, on page 77 of

following kindly tribute to Sir John Macdonald, the founder of the Na- tional Policy:
