GREAT MEETING

At New Perth, King’s (o,, UNDER THY AUSPICES

owe eee

Of the Three Rivers Dairy- men’s Association.

Commercial Union Discussed.

Strong Speeches by Cyrus Shaw, Esq... M. P. FP., John Hamilton, Esq., John Scrimgeour, Esq., M. L. ¢., and Others.

THE annual meeting of the Three Rivers Dairyman’s Association, held in New Perth Schoolhouse on Tuesday, LOth inst., was attended by over 200 of the farmers of New Perth, RKoseneath, Brudenell, Cardi- gan, Baldwia’s Road, Summerville and other settlements.

_ The chair was filled by the president, George F. Owen, Esq.,; Cardigan, and after the yearly reports of the President and Secretary hal been read, the following officers were appointed for the ensuing year :—

President--Fredk. G. Bovyer, Easq., Georgetown Royalty.

Vice-PresiJent—Robert Dewar, Esq,, New Perth.

Secretary--John Hamilton, Esq., New

Perth.

Treasurer-—Mr. ‘Villiam Kaneen, New Perth.

Executive Committee —John, Ross, Union Road; John McLean, 18-Mile Brook; James McNeill, New Perth; Jas. D. Dewar, Brudenell; George F. Owen, Cardigan.

On motion of F. G. Bovyer, seconded by James McNeill, it was

Resolved, That the position taken by Jas. D. Dewar, Esq., Brudenell, in enforcing the Weights and Measures Act of the Dominion Parliament, deserves the warm support and thanks of the Three Rivers Dairyman’s As- sociation, and of farmers generally.

A letter from Dr. Robertson, M. P., was read, regretting ~ the fact that owing to illness he could not atten’ the meeting. On motion of Jas. D. Dewar, Esq., the adjourned debate on the question of Com- mercial Union was resumed. Mr. Dewar said that the resolution submitted by him at the Montague meeting, as published in the newspapers, was deficient in the fol- lowing words which he wished to have added to it, viz: ‘*As may be agreed on by the Government of their respective coun- tries.” He had a little to add to what he had said at the former meeting with respect to this ques- tion. He considered that the remova] of alloustom'barriers between this country and the United States would be beneficial, as the United States was our only natural market. If it were not for the United States our potatves would have been a drug this fall ; and we, therefore, should press for any means that would remove the duty off this most jmportant farm crop. The adoption of Commercial Union would re- move all danger of international difficulties, such as nuw threatened on account of the fisheries question, and Mr. Dewar quoted Sir Lionel Playfair in support of his con- tention. He referred to the large export of eggs, and asked what would we do with them if the United States adopted the re- taliation bill passed last year.

Cyrus Saw, Eso., M. P. P., considered we should carefully weigh the consequences that might follow the adoption of Com- mercial Union with the United States. Histery told them that the Trojans, after one of the most protracted and successful resistances on record, broke down the walls of their city, in order to admit the wooden horse that had xroused their curiosity and awakened their cupidity, without examin- ing with the most rigid care the nature and contents thereof, and the result was that the city which had withstood the attacks of the Greeks for yeara, fell by the carelesness and coveteousness of its people. It is our duty as citizens of the Dominion to examine carefully the proposition that has been presented to the people, lest the result be the same with us as it was with Troy in the days of yore. By Commercial Union he understood the bresking down of ail the custom walls that divide us from the United States and the free admission of imports of either country into the other,

with a uniform tariff against the rest of the world, and no _ doubt this tariff would be the same as

that now in force in the United States. He believed he was justified in this conclusion,

: ifor Mr. Wiman, the f: of this move- | admitted to be far superior toany other manu-; for Mr. Wiman, the father of

=

‘ th of August last, is reported to have sai® as follows :—

‘* That as against all the rest of the world, the same rates of duty should be collected by Canada as are now levied by the United States while between these two countries of North America the customs line should be completely obliterated. In other words the

|

proposition is that around the whole continent of North America a customs line should exist precisely of uniform height.”

The Chicago Times, a paper which ap- proved the idea, put the case very bluntly. It said :—

**If the Porainion will take our, tariff laws

sv ar ay ‘ ‘ ro 2 . ay 4 th hand ana “3 they are, and as Congress may choose to

lify them, and as our Treasurry depart:

' ment and courts may congtrue them, well and

good. This country may agree to such an ar- yaagement as that, but it will never agree to vecept the Dominion laws, or to put the whole busineys of tariff making out of Con-

io

gress or into the hands of some Joint High Commission. ; Unless, therefore, the Dominion is prepared to make a complete and unconditional surrender of all control over its own tariff, and accept whatever tariff our Congress may choose to enact from time to time, the scheme of Commercial Union, in the sense in which that phrase is used, is en- tirely out of the question.”

That the Canadian advocates of the movement were ready to accept this defini- nition is shown in the speech of Mr. Joh» Charlton, M. -» made at Jarvis, Ont., on the 4th Nov. last. He said :

“It was simply a custems union between two or more independeut states, where a com- mon tariff and excise laws were adopted, and the revenue collected, after deducting expen- ses of collection, was divided among the par- ticipants upon the basis of population, or any other basis that might be agreed upon, while all trade restrictions between them were re- moved. The application of the principle be- tween Canada and the United States would require that the two countries should have the same excise rates andthe same tariff upon imports from all other countries; tiat the re- venue thus collected in both countries should be divided upon conditions to be hereafter arranged; that the customs line between the two countries from ocean to ocean should be removed; and that trade between Canada and the States should be in every respect as free and untramelled as trade between the differ- ent States of the American Union was at the present moment.”

We thus see that by Commercial Union we would be called upon te give up our main source of revenue, and that our tariff woula be regulated not by our own Parlia- ment, but by Congress at Washington, and that a tariff of uniform height would be maintained against the rest of the world. The first point that suggests itself is how would such an arrangement as this bear on our relations with Britain’ As we now stand, whilst Britain places us on the very same basis in regard to trade, as the rest of the world, we have also placed Britain on the same footing as any foreign country. We tax her articles as we do those of other uations, and there is no just cause of com-

j

plaint; but if we shut out the trade with the Mother Country by admitting the exports of a foreign

nation duty free, we act inan unfriendly manner towards her. Would we be justi- fied in this course, or would it tend to our advantage? is a question that should be carefully considered. He was of opinion that such a course would be both ungrate- ful and detrimental to our best interests, Britam has assured us that her arm

and navy are at our service in case of need, pand that the resources of the Empire would be used to defend us if occasion required. We enjoy equal rights and privileges with her in her treaties with fureizn courts, and vur interests are watehed by her ministers and consuls in foreign Jands. And for ail those advantages and privileges which we enjoy under the flag of one of the greatest nations the world has ever seen, we are not called upon to pay one cent. Is it for one moment to be supposed that we could ex- pect Great Britain to continue this respon- sibility if we discriminate against her in the matter of trade, and give such conces- sions to a foreign people / Again, we must remember that such a union would have the tendency of abrogating the treaties, made by Great Britain, under the fayored nations clause, with foreign countries, and, to use the words of Mr. Chamberlain, ** it would snap the tender cords that bind us to the Mother Country.” This would be followed by independente, resulting ulti. mately in annexation. By becoming inde- pendent, we woull have to support an army to protect us from foreign aggression, apd a navy to protect our mercan- tile marine. The expense of main- taining these forces would have to be defrayed out of the pockets of the people. We would also have to appoint ministers and consuls at the great foreign trading centres with which we would be interested, and that enormous cost which is now defrayed by the country under whose jurisdiction we live would have to be borne by ourselves. We would have a frontier of 4,000 miles to defend, on the other side of which is a nation who believe that the manifest destiny of all America is to be used by the United States. They ave greatly superior to us in population ; and nations, like individuals, who are bent on a quarrel, can soon find a pretext to engage in one ; and the fable of the wolf and the lamb would be amply illustrated in our case, and we would be swallowed up as easily as Texas was wrested from Mexico. Would we then be better off to have to submit to their laws and institutions, which I hold are far surpassed by those that we in the Dominion of Canada now enjoy? We would have to bear our burden of taxation toa degree with which in our experience we are in 4 blissful ignorance. We would have a high tariff, besides the high excise duties which in the United States are of the most serious character. We would have to drill and equip a certain number of militia-men each year and defray the expense out of what we call our local funds. We would not get one solitary doilar from the Treasury at Washington to carry on our local Government, but would

lave to tax ourselves for that purpose. This Province now receives $193,557 from the Dominion Government as an

annual subsidy, whereas under the United States we would have to tax ourselves for that amount, besides supporting various burdens now assumed by the Dominion. It, therefore, behooves us to ponder wel] these matters, lest we may wake up to realize our true position when it is too late. Our cattle trade with Great Britain would be destroyea if we enter into Commercial Union, We now enjoy great advantages over stock raisers in the United States in this trade. In the event of Commercial Union, our catilg would be co-mingled with American cattle, and a loss to this trade would accrue, amounting it is said to $650,000 year, which would come direetly out of the farmers pockets in Ontario, and to some extent from the farmers of this Island.
