‘A Plain Statement of Facts About the
| Wash ugton Conference,
‘A Uniform Tariff and Biscrimina. tien Against Great Britain.
To Such Propositions the Canadian Representatives Positively Refused to Agree.
Tur St. John Sun correspondent called
President's message. Mr. Foster replied : “I need not say thatit causes surprise and regret—surprise at the nature of some af the statements made, and regret at the un- friendly tone adopted towards Canada. The statement that Canada was only prepared to cffsr to the United States the admission cof natural products is net full enough to convey an accurate idea of what took place. The Canadian representatives asked those of the United States if they were prepared to consider an arrangement on the basis of free admission of the natural products of both countries, as in the treaty of 1854, with such enlargements and modi- fications as the changed conditions of the two countries made necessary. The reply was a negative. With a view, then, to clear the ground for an arrangement wider than that, if such could be done, Mr. Blaine was asked as to certain conditions of a possible wider arrangement, among others, whether the United States would insist upon a uniform tariff and would demand preferential treatment in our markets as against British and foreiga goods.
The answer was that a uniform tariff wou!d be necessary, and that, too, on the line of the present United States tariff ; and that the Unired States could admit of no arrangements which did not give their goods favored treatment as against foreign goods, especially those of ‘reat Britain, who was their chief competitor. To these propositions the Canadian representa- tives declined to agree. The conference then broke off so far as regards the con- sideration of the commercial question. What the conference plainly developed was that the Canadian government con- sidered the practical surrender of its fiscal powers, and absvlute discrimipation against Great Britain, with all that it involved, as too high a price to pay for any advantages which might accrue from a possible treaty.
The statement that “in many of the controversies, notably those as to the fish- eries in the Atlantic, the sealing interests in the Pacific, and the canal tolls,our nego- tiations with great Britain have contiunueus- ly been thwarted or retarded by unreason- able and unfair objections and protests from Canada,” is nor, | think, justifiable. It is tu be remembered that these questions virtually and almost wholly affected Cana- dian interests, Surely no generous people ; would condemn or reproach us for taking a warm interest in such questions. In each of them the United States contention would have taken from us most important advan- tages, guaranteed to us by solemn treaty or by the law of nations, without giving usa single compensation in return. This was notable in the case of the Atlantic fisheries, when the valuable rights and privileges guaranteed in 1818 and maintained by the British government thereafter, and which, when temporarily waived by us ss in 1854 and 1871, were paid for by substantial trade }or money Compensativns on the part of the {United States, were proposed to be taken from us without any return whatever. Can- adians would have been justly open to the reproach upon him who neglects to provide for his own home if they had pot objected to such a proposition. But they did not show any unfriendly spirit in their negotia- tions. After 1866 when the treaty of 1854 was denounced by the United States, the privileges of the treaty were continued to United States fishermen without any com- pensation so long as any hope existed that anew treaty might be made, and even thereafter, under a neminal license fee, which in most instances was never exacted, until in 1870 we were obliged to protect the treaty rights by active police patrol.
In 1871, after the treaty of Washington was concluded, and before it was ratified, we gave months of free enjoyment of its provisions as regard fishing and supplies for which we did not even get the equivalent reduction of United States duties provided for in the treaty.
In 1886, when the treaty of Washington had been denounced by the United States, whole season’s fishing and fishing privileges were granted to the United States’ fishermen by Canada—without any return being made , And notwithstanding we d undoubted lrights, as fully established by the treaty of 11818, met the United States and arranged a treaty to supersede that of 1818—which was characterized by the executive head of the United States, in hie meseage transmitting it to congress, as eminently just and fair, but which the senate of the United States refused even to consider. In the Behring Sea matter what happened? A vast open sea, open to the world, free in fishing privilege on the very protest and contention of the United States itself, made more than sixty years ago, was frequented by Canadian seamen in British vessels. While engeged in a lawful occupa. tion in this high sea, the United States’ auth- orities swept down upon them, seized and confiscated their ships, took possession oi their property, imprisoned the cfficers and men, and to this day the United States have paid not a single dollar to the men thus ruin ed and maltreated. Canada objected and ,made her protests through the British gov- ernment, It seems to me that it was not

in the maater.
As to the canal tolls, the president says that “treaty rights were frequently disre garded” by Canada. In this matter every thing turns on the interpretation of a clause of the treaty. Canada contended that she had not violated it, and respectfully gave her reasons. These were not considered satisfactory by the United States, and dis crimination on theSt Mary's canal was threatened. To avoid all disputes and mike the whole system of our canals free to the United States, a friendly proposiion was made which involved nogreat material sacri- fice on the part of the United Sates. This was refused, and the proclamation of the president forthwith issues imposing a dis- criminating toll on Canadian products pass- ing the Sault canal. Outside of the inter- pretation of the treaty, suppose we look as to where the balance of the advantage lies in the St, Lawrence and lake system of navigation. At immense cost Canada built the St. Lawrence canals and vastly im- proved the navigation. The capital outlay has gone with the return of money vested — the nominal tolls charged do not pay by a large yearly sum the expenses of working and repairing the canals —and we give the United State all their advantages on the same terms as th:y are enjoyed by Cana. dians, and one may say, practically, without charge, so insignificant are the tolla. We give them the free navigation of the St. Law. rence, io which it has cost and yearly costs us large outlays to maintain safety and progress in navigation. We took from the United States lumber cut in Maine and floated down the St. John river for export and impost of $150,000 a year, and provide for it out of the Dominion treasury. We grant transit privileges to their commerce, mutually provided for in the treaty of 187], al though they, since }855, have withdrawn the equivalent open, Hy from us. We allow their barges and vessels free navigation up the Ottawa river and canals, although they refuse to allow us to enter the Hudson. They enjoy the privilege of constructing and using navi gation facilitiea on the Canadian side of the St. Clair, In return what does Canada get ? A limited privilege of navigating Lake Michi- gan, terminable on notice. The right to equal treatment in the Buffalo and Erie canal, which geographically and commercially is not and cannot be used to the extent of a single load of merchandize by us; the right in the same way to the use of the Champlain canals, but which, owing to the fact that our vessels are not ellowed to e~ ter the Hudson river and obtain return ¢ ryovs, is pructically of po use to us, and : yt the use of the St. Clair Flats Canal. ( uthere b: any doubt as to the balance of advantages? In pressing for its present contention as to canal tolls and refusing any compromise, even granting for argument’s sake that its contention is wairanted, is there not a distinctly Shy- lockian flavor on the part of the demand of the United States. Butthe must surprising portion of the president’s utterance is that in which he recommends that, if we do not see fitto alter our present political relations, measures be taken to cripple our railways, obstruct our trade with the United States and abolish the bonding system. It would appear that in the president’s mind railway enter- prises, steamship development and commercia energy, 80 praiseworthy in all other countries, is an offence in Canadians, when it comes in competition with railways and steamships of the United States, especially an offence in Canadians, 80 long as they choose not to alter the politics! relations which can mean nothing else than their allegiance to Great Britain, and that showing such energy and enterprise in conjunction with a loyal attachment to the mother land, they are to be *‘cribbed, cabined and confined” so far as legislation and regu lation can do it.
While I do not believe that this correctly expresses the sentiment of the people of the United States, I suppose we must take it as indicating the views of the president and those whom he represents, and it is sufliciently startling to cause Canadians to think. ‘here ought not to be, I do not think that in Canada any jivgo spirit exists which prompts in any way action looking in the direction of agres- sion and unfriendliness. We are the smalier and the weaker, and should be modest and prudent and cannot desire anything but the most pleasant intercourse with the United States. We must admire the energy, the de- velopment and splendid progress of our great neighbors, and are willing to sacrifice some what in order to meet their wishes. But we claim the right to be fairly treated, to enjoy what Providence and the British law has given us, and to retain our political relations with Great Britain if we wish to; and no ac tion which may be taken on the line of the president’s advice will have any other effect than to make a united Canada, loyal to the core, and in the end wonderfully prosperous and happye
