THE SITUATION,

ABLY REVIEWED BY SENATOR FERGU- SON.

Overwhelming Arraftgement of the Govern

ment

(Continued from Hansard.)

But, bon, gentlemen, I want to point out to you that there were in the minds of every eminent man in England at that time, and not much wonder,s¢ rious doubts as to whether the denunciation of those treaties would not Jead, in Canada particu~ larly, rather in the way ofthe disintegr- tion of the empire than toconsolidation. On the day previous to the prorogation of the British Parliament, on the 5th of August last, Mr. Courtney, one of the members from the county of Cornwall, brought the matter up before the House of Commons and I will just give a short extract from what he said on that occasion. He eaid:

“A few years ago there was a strong party movement in Canada in favour of promoting almost complete fiscal freedom between the United States and Canada. But that could not be accomplished with out differential duties as between goods imported by the United Statee aud Europ- ean countries, if not between this country and Canada. ‘his step towards the fiscal freedom of the colonies was a step rather towards disintegrtiou than inegration, towards eeparation rather than combina- tion.

This was the serioua difficulty that presented itself to the mind of Mr. Court- ney, @ very able man, us Mr. Chamoerlain

admitted when he came to discuss the matter with him. Howdid Mr. Chamber- lain reply to that ? Mr. Coartuey remem- bered that the party was in power in Canada bada few years ago advocated commercial union with the United States. He feared, and it was no wonder, that that when these same men came asking for tue denunciatien of these treaties, their object wae simply to obtain it eo that they could differentiate against Great Britain, as the Liberal party in Canade had propos ed a few years before.

Hon Mr. Mille— Does he say that?

Hon. Mr. Ferguson— He does say that: “A few years ago there was a stroug

party movement ia Canada in favour of promoting almost complete fiecal freedom between the United States and Cunada.”

And then he goes on and says he feared that the denunciation of these treaties was a step towards the disiniegration of the empire—to give these people a chance to goon with their nefarious work,—that was what his language pointed out; and in order to show that I sm not misinters preting what he says, we will see what Mr. Chamberlain said in reply :

“My hon. friend introduced some remarks to which I am inclined to take exception. He laid it down that if Canada bad pro- ceeded to make arrangements with a foreign government by which differential duties would be imposed onthe mother country, then, asa matter of fact, the mother country would have had to submit. Now, Ido notthink that the most ens thuiastic free trader ever laid that down as a policy of this country, and I repudiate it altogether.”

He repudiated altogether that if Canada | was to differentiate against the mother country, Great Britain would submit to it, That is what we told the Liberal party in their way vard course, we told them that Great Britain would sever allow it. Oh, they said, the advantages she will get by the good-will of the United States will compensate for all this, and Great Britain wil) be happy and glad to have al! difficult questions out of the way and Canada and ine United States in a commercial embrace. Mr. Chamberlain taid no, Britaiu would

not allow it, no mcre than she would allow these gentlemen to legislate in the face of acircular despatch trom the

British Government, such as the Marquis of Ripon bad seat out in 1895. But I wll read on:

“Tam happy to say ithas never heen the policy of the representative goveru~ ment of any colony, though it may bave been advocated by some politicians; bat there are,as we know politicians who will advocate anything.” (Laughter.)

There are politicians, the right hon.

gentleman said, who will advocate any thing; avd in this connection he was

diecussing Mr. Courtney’s pointed refer« ence to the Liberal partyin Canada when

they were advocating commercial union with the United States. But, he said no representative government of any colony

has ever done this; it is only politicians

such politicians as will advocate anything

that were doing it. Ie continued:

“We must not judge the politics ofa country (we areinclined to thank Mr. Chamberlain for that) by the views of the individual yolitics ans, But it ig, ] think, most undesirable that a politician in the pesition of my right bon. friend should, as it were, hold out an invitation toa colony to take a step which would be certainly most patriotic, coupling it with an assurance that there would be no objection on the part of this country. A step of tnat kind would be a step that must lead

to further and very important reeult«— results, [am convinced, not desir red by the

date, the Bri ck Hotel Property on Sydney / colonies or peonle of this country.’

Now, so far from their policy or their’ past history or from anything that they

had done, giving strength and force to the !

movement for the denunciation of these treaties itturus out that their past way- wardness on these commercial questions interposed a serious ot jection in the minds of some of the best ana ablest men in Great Britais, and furnished doubts and reasons why these treaties should not be denounced atal’. On these groundsI think they are

entitled to ro credit whatever with regard |

to the denunciation of the Belgian and German treaties, But it appears as I have already.

Seeger

indicated, and as many of the hon. gentle- men of this House now know, after the announcement made theather day by the Secretary of State, that they were even more radically wrong im tunis #0 called reciprocal resolution than we had ciaimed or pointed out that they were. Not only were they proposing to fly in the face of Lord Ripon’s deapatch, not only were they disposed to ignore treaties that every school-boy ought to know were binding on the government of Canada, not only were they doing all this, but they entirely misunderstood and misinterpreted the force of the favoured-nation clauses which Great Britain has in her treaties with a great many other countries, and after having secured the denunciation of tbe German aad Belgian treaties they were still confronted with the difficuliy which Mr. Chamt erlain pointed out them. Even after that is done he said you will have to go back and modify and change this resolution of yours, you will have to do away with it altogether or you will have to confine your preference entirely to Great Britain and the ehains were fastened arc und them 80 tightly that the Secretary of State had to annonnce the change, although in announcing it be placed the premier in a questionable position with regard to the condition on which he accepted the Cobden medal. Whenever! think of their devi- ous course with regard to the denunciation of these treaties, and when [hear the gentleman on the government side of the House claimirg credit to themselves for what they have done and for what it effect~ ed, Iam reminded of the heading ofa chapter in Pickwick papers whare Dick- ens tells the story of how Mr. Winkle instead of shooting at the crow aad killing

the jigeon, shot at the pigeon and wounded the crow; orin another

version of it, he fired at rook ina tree io the lawn and disabled aduck in the back- yard. Even Dickens’s sense ot humor was nol, however, strong enough to say that Winkle turned round and applause of the bystanders on account cf the accuracy cf his shot; but that is jast what these gentlemen have been doing-— they shot at a crow ina tree on the lawn and wounded aduck inthe back yard, and they asked the people of Canada to applaud their markmanship. It is one of the greatest comedies of errors in tue history of the ccustry. It has been aseries of blunders. Every step they have taken bas beena blunder. They have to rescind almost every feature of their famous resolntion; and lhe premier, in the end, will havetosevd back that Cobden medal.
