THE NEW POLICY.

WHAT IT INVOLVES.

Speech of Hon, George Foster,

(Hansard Report.) | CONCLUDED. ]

Is he an honest man, is he putting this question for honest purposes before this Parliament, or is he doing as he accuses us of doing, dangling a spangle before the eyes of the people? I will believe, in the first place, that he is an honest man, and that, when he took up the two lines of commer- cial union and unrestricted reciprocity, he believed what he said, and he had good grounds for the belief, that the people of the United States, unless they were arrant fools, would never accept unrestricted reci- procity. Well, Sir, in what position, if he was an honest man at that time,is he placing himself now? Hecomes here and argues before this Parliament and asks this Parlia- ment to adopt a measure, to show its whole hand, to go, as it were, the whole figure,

to the people of the United States: We will give you everything in exchange, if you will let us take everything into your country as an exchange; and yet, in the face of that, he says—to himself of course —the United States will not accept such a proposition as that, they are not such arrant fools, and unless they were arrant fools, they would never take unrestricted reciprocity. Now, Sir, do you find any fault with any hon. gentleman on this side being slightly confused when he was look- ing into the eye of the hon. member who, not many weeks ago, made that statement, and has never disclaimed that statement until to-day? Or, if it is true that he believes what he said here, is it not a re- prehensible proceeding for a public man to attempt to put before Parliament and the country, and press to a solution a proposi-

boring power will never accept the proposi- tion, but will certainly reject it unless they

of the United States are not? There are one or two other statements made by the

to refer, especially to one of those strong

generalisations in which he is apt to in-

dulge respecting the f

POVERTY OF THE PEOPLE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

He goes on, turn by turn, till he reaches the climax, and the climax is this: That the people of Prince Edward Island, the farm- ers there especially, are living without hope—not Only in Prince Edward Island,

but in the Maritime Provinces—they are becoming poorer and poorer, losing hope and falling into despair, And yet I turn up the blue books of the Dominion and look at the list which shows the earnings put into the Savings Bank of Prince Ed- ward Island, and what do I find? In 1874 they had a balance of $356,000 to their credit there, in 1879 it had climbed up to $420,000, to-day it is $2,200,900. There is a paltry increase of $84,000 in that haleyon period measured by the time when the hon. gentlemen opposite were in power in this country, and there is a massive saving of $1,750,000 which had been placed there by the poor people of Prince Edward Is- land in the time covered from 1880 to 1887 ; and yet they are living without hope, ready to plunge over into the fatal gulf of despair, they are entirely without aspiration and entirely without prospects for the future. Looking at these things it seems to me that the position which this Parliament may well take is something like this: The measure which has been proposed is 4 heroic measure according to the statement of the hon. gentieman who introduced it into the House. He_ has already failed to prove, inthe first place, that a necessity for a heroic measure exists; in the second place, he has failed to prove hat this is a measure which would be bene- ficial to Canada ; and yet he asks this Gov- ernment to leave the old and beaten policy and take this bantling of his own. On tae other side you have the policy of the Government, which, from the first, has been stable and has been proved. It has been this :

TO CULTIVATE THE MOST FRIENDLY RELA- TIONS

between this country and the kindred - ple who live to the south of us, to seek i

every way to have as fair and as free com- mercial relations as it is possible for the two peoples honorably to agree upon. There has not been atime since 1848 till to-day when the proposition has not stood out freely and fairly before the people of the United States something like this; Come and let us reason together and place our commercial and reciprocal relations on a fair and honorable basis for both of us. If ever those relations once established for

This siood before the United States, and inall our relations there has been dominant in this Parliament and with this Government since it has been in power, the desire to have as free and extended and cordial relations as are possible in the interests of both countries. On the other hand we have felt, and the Government has introduced the policy which they carry out, that failing that and if we cannot have have extended reciprocal relations with the United States, the thing for us to do is to carve out a policy of our own which will stimulate industries in our own country, which will build up inter-provincial trade, which will give usa national standard of independence of our own, and which will put us on oru feet in the future as it has contributed to our self-respect in the past. That policy is dear to the heart of the country. The fireworks let off about cor- ruption and the way in which elections are carried on are very good fora slight blaze, but they go out soon and a perfume remains which is not of the sweetest or most pleasant kind. The real facts of the case about the elections are that the people after the most thorough discussion were roused to look into this question, and after giving to the Government a mandate in 1878, to foster the industries of this country by reason of a protective tariff they enjoy-

ed the benefits for four years and when this Government went back te the people,

the people renewed that mandate and

enjoyed the benefits for another four years.

The same people who in 1878 returned us

into power, in 1887 sent this Goverpment and the party which is with the Govern- ment back, with a strong staple majority,

asking them and pledging them to preserve the interests which they had confided in their charge and the trust with which they had commissioned them in 1878 and 1882.

The Government feels, and the party feels,

and the country in the main feels, that this is the policy which is staple, fair and honest. While at the same time we look after our own industries we are willing to meet every fair proposition that is made for extended trade relations with the people to the south of us. In this regard,then and with these remarks

I beg leave to move the following amend- ment :—

“That Canada in the future as in the past is

people of the

tion, all the time believing that the neigh-|desirous of cultivating and extending trade

relations with the United States in so far as

they may not conflict with the policy of foster-

ing the various industries and interests of the

are arrant fools, which we know the people|n > inion which was adopted in 1879 and

which has since received in so marked a manner the sanction and approval of the

hon. member for Queen’s to which I desire | people.
