|
| SIR JOHN MACDONALD’S SPEECH.
Jouy A, Macponatp—In the few 'words I will say on the motion, I shall ‘endeavor not to allude to the Washington | Treaty, lest we wight have the prolonged | discussion we have had again and again on that subject. I am quite satisfied with my position with respect to it, and will allow it
SIR
to rest, merely saying that there was a feel- ing of disappointment in the country when ‘the notice for abrogation of the fishery clauses was given. 1 have no doubt that this country would have been quite satisfied
years, with two years’ notice, had gone on without observation on either side. The. country would have been well satisfied, the | Maritime Provinces would have been well! satisfied, and the fishery interests would have been well satisfied. Then the only thing which would have been to have a new | arbitration, in order to get a new valuation | of the difference in value between the American and the Canadian fisheries for the next ten years, or for whatever period might have been fixed. However, that is all gone, and we must meet the case as it is. 1 do not know any reason why the hon. gentleman who moved this, or the seconder, laid before the House these elaborate state- ments to show the value of reciprocal trade, or trade of any kind, with the United States. That is admiited. That goes without saying. We all admiv that it would be well that we had a large trade with the United States, rather than a small one; and I think Canada, as compared in her action with the action of the United States,
HAS DONE EVERYTHING
that she could well do in order to secure that desirable object. In the first place, there was the the original Reciprocity Treaty which was finally consummated in 1854. The merit of that, as far as Canada was concerned, rested altogether with the Administration of Sir Francis Hicks, the Liberal Government of that day. Although the Government of which I was a member in 1854 had accidentally, from the retire- ment of Sir Francis Hincks, the duty of carrying out the,Treaty to its consummation, by intoducing and carrying into law the Act which ratified that Treaty, still it was the merit of the Reform party; and it was a great merit; it did a great service to Canada. That, as we all know, was a Treaty for reciprocal Free Trade in the natural productions of the two countries. We regretted when the Americans, from, I must say, a rather natural feeling of irrita- tion against England, gave notice for the: cancellation and termination of that Treaty. It was no fault of Canada that that
Treaty was terminated. Canada, dur- ing the troubles which arose’ in the internecine war between _ the
North and the South, did everything that she could to preserve friendly relations with the Northern States, and | can well remember the repeated statements of Mr. Seward, who was the presiding genius of the Northern States in those cay, that he wished the Mother Country, Great Britain, had been as friendly in her action towards the Northern States, as the Province of Canada had been. Then when the Treaty was ended, Canada attempted by every possible means, by sending agents to act with the British Minister at Washington, by stirring up Her Majesty’s Government in England to interest itself in the renewa! of the Treaty, by doing everything that possibly could be done to induce the Ameri- can States to enter upon a renewal of the Treaty, or a Reciprocity Treaty of some kind. We went so far, again and again, in pressing it, that a great many Canadians, in the press and at public meetings—and the voice was heard in Parliament—thought the Government
HAD GONE TOO FAR,
that in fact it had humiliated itself by going, as it were, on its knees, to Wash- ington to entreat for the renewal of that reciprocity. Well, Canada at first thought that a great blow had been struck at her prosperity in the future, but the people faced it manfully, and, strange to say, while it was a loss—we cannot deny it was a loss—Canada survived it and still was prosperous, and still went on in her de velopment and expansion. Her prosperity was checked, but it was not destroyed. Then, the attempt was not ended by the failure of the Canadisn Government to succeed at once. It was renewed again and again. It wes renewed by the Government of which I was a member. We sent one Minister after another. Sir Alexander Galt and Sir William Howland went to Washington. When my hon. friend oppo-
very able leading member of his party, Mr. Brown, to Washington; but it was all of no avail; the Americans had taken a cer- tain line, and we had to submit. And I believe that the feeling which then existed still exists, and that you will never get a Treaty between the United States and Canada for reciprocal trade in the natural productions of the two countries. The Americans said—whether truly or not I do not know—that it was a nominal reciproc- ity, but all the advantages were on the side of Canada. We had no market of sufficient importance to offer to them for their prodac- tions of grain and cereals and fisheries. We on the other hand, had to gain everything by their markets being open for the articles which were specified in the Treaty. That feeling, I believe, still exists, and unless the United States will come at some time or other to a conclusion that they would be willing to enter upon a Reciprocity Treaty, not enly for our natural productions, but for Our manufactures as well as our natural products, we will never have a Treaty, I am Quite satisfied the United States will

BASIS ?
My hon. friend from Norfolk (Mr. Chariton) says there never was 2 more fit- ting or opportune time for opening ne- gotistions. Mr. Speaker, I cannot see fr the life of me what indication there is in that direction. The President, in his Address, which has been mentioned by my hon. friend who made this motion, stated \that the notice had been given, and it might be an opportunity to have a Commis- sion to enquire into the best means of ac- quiring permanently the advantages of our 'fisheries— some words of that kind, I forget exactly what they were. Has there been any step taken to take up that recom- 'mendation of the President! It has fallen dead. There has net been a single voice
arrangement, which was to last for ten raised in its favor, and I venture to state
that there will be no voice raised in its favor during the present Congress. Then the hon. gentleman tays there will be no success of any measure until the Presidential electionis over. The Morrison Bill, I believe, has been dropped. No action has been taken in Congress to admit reciprocity in salt, or in ores, or in oil.
Mr. Cuartton—If the hon. gentleman will permit me—lI did not say the Morrison Bill had been dropped.
Sir Jonw A. Macvonatp—No; but i be- lieve it has; I understand it has.
Mr. Mitis—It must have been to-day.
Sir Jonn A. Macponatp—lI hear it has been dropped. I wes told so a few mo- ments ago. But the hon, gentleman does not think any more than I do that that Bill will become law. If there is no indi- cation that the United States people, that their representatives, their Congress, will accept the recommodation of the President and appoint a Commission, or go into the question and see whether there cannot be an arrangement, and if we know and the hon. gentleman admits—and it is evident he is correct— that by no possibility will there be a Bill to allow reciprocity in these articles, what indication, what sign is there that there would be any use in our going again, for the fifth or sixth or tenth time, on car knees to Washington, and asking them again, for heaven’s sake, to enter into a Treaty with us! I think it would be a great mistake to pass this resolution. I think it would hamper the action of the Government were we to say at once to the Americans what it is proposed to say by this resolu- tion. They had the opinion in 1854, and in 1865, and they will have it now if we adopt a resolution of this kind—they will think: ‘‘Canada must have the Treaty; Canada must open our markets; Canada must come upon her knees.” No, Mr. Speaker, I think that this resolution is
UNFORTUNATE AND ILL-TIMED,
and as such we must oppose it. The hon. gentleman says the United States have begun to alter their policy, that a new feel- ing has arisen in the minds of the people. There are some faint indications that the very heavy, the very oppressive, the very unscientific tariff of the United States, the war tariff, that presses sc reverely on the people—there is an indication of a desire for an adjustment, but there is no indica- tion of such a readjustment as will reduce their tariff to an equality with ours, protec- tive as it is called by the hon, gentleman opposite. Until they do that, until they bring down their tariff to an equality, or nearly an equality, with ours, there cannot be reciprocity. I do not see how it can be. But the hon. gentleman says that the United States have shown a desire to extend their trade by having a reciprocity treaty with Mexico and the Sandwich Islands. Who commenced neyotiations in those cases? Was it the Sandwich Islands and Mexico! No; it was the Government of the United States in both instances, who was desirous of getting control of the trade of those two nations, inferior in population, inferior in wealth, and very much subject to American influences. They desired to increase that influence and to obtain con- trol of the trade of these two nations; but it wasnot King Kalakua, it was not the President of Mexico. who wanted the Treaty; it was the Government of the United States that pressed upon those almost auxiliary nations and forced upon them, almost forced upon them, these Treaties. Now, Mr. Speaker, I think that we must, to acertain extent, pursue the same course. They know that
WE ARE READY AT ANY TIME;
we have told them unmistakably that we are ready at any time to renew the Recipro- city Treaty of 1854. They know perfectiy well that we are quite ready to go on with the fishery arrangements made by the Washington Treaty on the same footing as they were before. They know perfectly well that Canada is always open to enter into any reasonable arrangement with them, and I think that we ought to leave it there. I think it would do no good, I am satisfied it would frustrate any hope ot entering into an arrangement with them, if we passed
this Resolution. I do not now feel it right to say what the course of the Government would be; I
think it would be premature to say, what, after duc consideration and consultation with Her Majesty’s Government, may be done between now and July, 1885. I am quite satisfied the passing of the resolutions declaring that we must enter into immedi- ate negotiations—because if that resolution pasees, we must do so; it is an order of this House to enter into immediate negotia- tions for a renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty—would be simply to bring upon us the same rebuffs we have got on so many previous occasions. I hope the hon. gentleman won’t press this resolution, I am quite satisfied that it is inopportune. The hon. gentleman’s intentions and mo- tives are good and most praiseworthy, and he has put his case exceedingly well, and has argued the interests with which he is charged, the interests of ove of the Mari- time Provinces, very well and very forcibly ; still, I think it is inopportune that he
voice of the country will be against a repe-
should have made this motion. Had he
