Arrer diseoursing at length upon the two parties, Sir Charles Tupper, in the ourse of his great speech at Halifax, irned to the issues of the present and the |} fature, and said —we quote from the Halli itu fax Herald’s report : Now, xe ntlemen, I the tiret battle, ani thatin the Cape Breton, but it was perfect | treat laughter aud applause.) s perfectly true.

Why? we were opposed by eloquent and brilliant | men from all parts o: Canaua; we were op posed hy gentiemen who were fortified with an abundant eupply of what has been not inaptly termed “Shuman devices.” (Laush ter.) They made a “big push” and “came down handsomely.” But why was it Gentlemen, I will tel! you: t was child’s play becanse we had a pelic: that the people could understand. When we stood before the intelligent electors of the county of Cape Breton, it was not to tell them what we would do if we had the opportunity. We bad the opportunity, and it was only necessary to point to the brilliant record in the past, ofthe govern- ment, sustained by the great liberal-con- servative purty of this country. We were ab'e to point to the face of the country and ahow that we had not heid power in vain, and that the power in our hands had been | u-edin euch a way as te promote the pr - gress and prosperity of the country, We had auccessfully linked together the vari ous portions of this great half-contineut, the greateat portion of the continent of North America. Not only hal we suc- eeeded in uniting it in one powerful feder- ation, but we showed that we had carried out the policy of confederation until ‘it reached from the small island of Prince Edward Island, in the Gulf of St. Law ence to Vancouver on the shores of the Pacifi oe When I went to Washington with Mr Chamberlain in 88-88 to aegotiote the treaty with the government of the United States, I met there the distinguished gen - tleman, Mr. Bayar.!, who now represents the United State: at their ambassador at London. He said to me, ‘Mr. Tupper, the federation of British North America and the construction of the Canadian Pa- cific has brought us FACE TO FACE WITH 4 NATION.” Instead of the weak, disunited and some- time antagonistic provincys, of whch Br tish America was formerly composed, atime had come when they saw one gov- ernment, extending from sea to +ea, and found that we had not only formed a paper confederation, but that we had made the federation a reality by the con- struction of the iron band that extends all the way across the country, and binds to- zether the country from Cape Breton to Vancouver. They found themselves no: only face to face with a nation, but they tound themselves face to face with a na- tion possessed of all those enormous nat- urai resources with which Providence has generously endowed this northern part of the continent. They found them- selves face to face witn a country in a pos- ition to pass on from stage to stage until t became, as suck an eminent authority as Professor Giffkin declared, ‘“‘not only equal to many of the continenial states of Europe, but one of _ the most powerful and progressive nations of the world.” We were able, then, to tell the people of Carpe Breton; not only what we would do if they gave us the power, but we were able to show them what we had ione, and exhibit that as an earnest of what we would do in the future. We pointed not oaly to what had been actually accomplished, but we pointed to pending measures of the utmost importance to the people of Canada, as sbowing hat will be done at no distant day to make this great country even greater than it is. What did our opponenis point t? You may be sure that they «id not point to the p-ried when they were in power, for they knew that their only hope of getting back to power was to lull the people to sleep, and make them forget that time, if they still bad any recollection of it. They hal been in power for a period of five years, but all the recollection that the people had of it was that it was a period of FIVE LEAN YEARS. They only remember it as a period of five years during which they were eating up the resources that had been accumulated during the previous five years of libera!- conservative rule. I] dare say you have read the story of Sir Walter Scott’s coach- mar who, after he was dismissed from his master’s service, set up as a medical man, Sir Walter Scott discharged the man for taking to much to drink. Some- time afterwarde,when he was travelling in England, somewhere across the border, he came acrose this old coachinan, and the following conversation ensued: Said Sir Walter;“Donald, what are you about?” Donald replied, “I am a doctor now.” “* A doctor” Said Sir Walter, “What do you mean? You don’t know an;thing about medicine. What do you du?” “Weill,” re- plied Donald, “1 just confine myself to twa simples, calumny and laudsnum ” There is the liberal policy, and simple enough it is. (Laughter). “Weill” said Sir Walter Scott “but what becomes of the patients?” Weil,” said Donald, “ whiles they lives and whiles they dier, but it will take a long time to make up for Flodden.” Of the “ simples,” made use of by the liberal party, the ‘calumny ” is intended to raise false issues, and to divert men’s minds and attention from the frightful period of mis- rule under their mis government. If that is what tre calumny is for, what is the laudanum for? It is to give electors suffi- cient doses to put them to sleep, so that it will be out of their power to recollect the state towhich all Canada was reduced under their misrule. Gentlemen, if you want to know what the national policy bas dune for Canada you have only to read the brilliant, the able, the unsurpassed budget speeches of the Hon. George E. Foster, and you will find what it has done. An eminent public man inthe United States not long since deliverel an address in which he deplored the financial condition of the United States, as compared with the SPLENDID CONDITION OF THE DOMINION OF CANADA. He sail that during the last few years there had been a fiuancial cyclone in the United Staies, asthe result of which 600 | banks had gone down, the industries of | R a ee content and distress had taken the place of progress and prosperity. He teld his hearers to look across the border aad mark the difference. The people of thie country might have been a little affected by the depression existing among 65,000,000 of their neighbors, separated from them only by an invisible line, but he asked hie hearers to contrast the man- ner in which the people of Canada passed through this period of depression with the experience ofthe people of the United States, and he told them that if they wanted to see the contrast they bad only to look north of the boundary line and see the progress and prosperity of Canada. There is evidence of what the national pol icy has accomplished. The construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway was a work never before paralleled by five mil lions of people in any part of the globe, and a work that caused the position of of Canada to be duly appreciated in the great republic to the south of us. Gentle men, when the United States succeeded in | pushing a railway from Omahato San Francise) they attracted the admiration of | the civilized world. Every paper in Eng land and every paper on the continent of Europe, hailed that magnificent achieve ment of the United States as a matter wor thy of the highest admiration. Yet at the time the United States bu It that road they had a population of 40,000,000, or eight times the population of Canaia. Still, with all that advantage of population in their tavor, they were unable to accom plish an equally great work inthe tame tim? in which it was accomplished by the Dominion of Cauada. I give that to the people of this couatry as tHE BEST EVIDENCE of what we have accomplished by the na- tional policy. Under free trade conditions the industries of the country were para- lyzed. Under the regime of our prede ces-ors everything was suspended. The government could aot wring out of the people of Canada money enough by any taxation that they could levy, to pav_ the ordinary expenses of government. They were rolling up a debt created out of de ficits, and the progress of the country waa stayed. What has happened since? The construction of the Canadian Pacific rail- way ex:ited the admiration of the civilized world, and made people who did not know before what the term Canada meant, appreciate the fact that a new power was springing up in the porthern part of this continent. [ daresay you know that we have been denounced by our opponents, for corruptly maintaining ourselves in power by the use of railway subsidies. All 1 can say is that we have something to show for it, and that, since the national policy was introduced, ten thousand miles of railway have been constructed in this country, trom end toend. What is the result? Oneofthe results is: th:t I bad the honor of being appointed by the government of Canadato represent Canada at the great international railway congress which has just taken place in London, and [ hai the opportunity of putting be- fore that congress whet Canada had achieved in the way of railway progress, How do you suppose that discussion came up? Iteame up becaure England has at lust alepted the policy of cf giving gov ernment assistance to districts not served by railways in the same way that we have done in Canada (Loud applause.) Gentlemen, I now come to an event, the most striking of any that has ever occurr- ed in any colonial possessions of the crown. I refer to THE GREAT CONFERENCE held in the city of Ottawa at which South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the tm perial government were all represented. That confetence took up the question of how the colonies could be drawn closer together; and, among other things, they adopted the policy of preferential trade. I dare sav you know that the government of Canada introduced a resolution that, when the imperial government received colonial products on more favorable terms than the products cf other countries, Can- ada would make a corresponding redne- tion in favor of goods of British marufac- ture coming into this country. The Times newspaper took this policy up and said that men were not made for free trade, but free trade was made for men, and that if the other col nies adopted that policy it might well demand careful considera: tion. The conference in which Sonth Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Can- ada were brought together on a common platform to discuss the best means of increasing the trade of the empire, and the best means of drawing the colonies closer together, placed upon record, that this was a sound and a good policy and one that should be adopted. I am_ toid that this question ia one that ie not a party question. I dare say you know that I was invited te deliver an address befure the commercial men of Montreal, and on that occasion I had the pleaeure of ad- dressing an aulience of a thousand men, including many of the very first commer- cial men, financiers, bankers and ship- owners of this country. And [ may say that I never addressed a more enthusiastis meeting in my life. Wh-n [ was invited to deliver that al- dress I was not a member of the govern- ment—I was the high commissiuner for Dominion of Canaia in London—and the Montreal Herald, and some of those liber- als who cannet see anything except through political spectacles, took excep- tion to my delivering that address, and en- deayored to get a petition signed to induce the board of trade to withdraw the invita- tien. But, when they had hawked the petition al) through the citv, and only suc- ceeded in obtaining about five names to it, they concluded to abandon their onposi- tion. (Laughter). ‘The Toronto Globe, when it found that I was going to deliver this address, said that PREFERENTIAL TRADE was all very well,—that every body in this country was in favor of preterential trade; but that the city of Montreal was not the place to advocate it. To leave no doubi im your minds as tothe position of that great orgen of the liberal party on this question, I will read you what it said. {t said:— “We have it in our power to largely in- crease the exchanges betyeen the two countries, but we have our doubts whe- ther Sir Charles will choose that obvious way. He would, of course, prefer that the change would be brought about by Britawn’s granting preferential treatment in her markets to her colonier. That is a policy for which both political parties in Canada wou'd bold ap their hands. But it is a question that cannot become a prac. tical is«ue in Canadian politics, for it must be fought out not at the jolls in Capada but at the polls in England.” They are perfectly right in that. Why did I goto Montreal to deliver this ad- dress? Iwill tell yon. It was because I knew that the chamber of commerce of the city of London had sent out an inyvita- tion to the chamber of commerce and boards of trade in Canada, to send repre- sentatives to a congress of the chambers of commerce of the empire, to be held in London in June next, A eimilar congress was held in London in 1893, and I had the pleasure of taking an active part on that occasion, andthey did us the honor of | of the congress which is about to be held. The Right Honorable Joseph Chamber lain—(loud and long continued applause) —no statesman has ever deserved such a cheer better than he, for never has the high office of Secretary of State for the Colonies been filled by a man of more striking character—recognizes that the greatest field for the development of British interests is for (Great Bri- tain, by every means in her power, ‘to foster and protect the THE INTERESTS OF THE COLONIES. Mr. Chamberlain has accepted the posi- tion of Honorary President. Now, what is the first article on the programme of this Congress ot Chambers of Commerce ? It is how best to promote trale between TELEGRAPHIC SIR CHARLES IN OTTAWA. A Splendid Civic Reception, Orrawa, Feb. 11. Yesterday was a dull day in the Hous>. A long string of questions on the order the mother country and her colonies. (Cheers ) Gentlemen, I have said that this question engaged the attention of the last Congress, and although it was a new question it occupied two svlid days, or more than four times the time that was given to any other question. My object in addressing the Chamber of Commerce of Montreal was to induce them to send out to every part of Canada an urgent ap peal to the boards of trade and chambers of commerce, of whatever political procli vities the membership might be, to send able men to represent the interests of this Canada of ours at the Conference. If that appeal is responded to, as [ believe it will be, that Congress will not separate until it has placed on record its opinion that the best means of increasing in'ercourse be tween the different outlying portions of the Empire is by the adoption of the policy of preferential trade. (Loud applause.) At this late hour I feel that I must draw toa close. (Cries of no, no.) When I look at my watch [am ashamed to see what time it is, bnt [ will give you an illustra- tion of what preferential trade is. If Eng stands in the way by securing a moditfica- tion of the German and Belgian treaties, and will impose a duty on foreign products that come into competition with ours, we will be prepared to give the mother coun try a corresponding advantage in our mar ket. (Hear, hear) Some people may say “will pot that be protection, and are not English etatesmen sworn to the wor ship of free trade as of a fetish?” I say no; the question of protection ‘does not aris:. LORD SALISBURY has made the declaration ihat whatever may be the arguments for or against pre- ferential trade, it is not a thing that can be called protection. And why? Protection is the building up by one nation of a tariff against the products of another nation, whereas preferential trade is simply the imposing of a ten percent. duty on the products of the United States, France, Germany and other countries that build high tariffs against English goods, while England receives everything from them free. If such a duty were imposed it would pay the whole cost of the army and navv of England, aud would make foreign coun- tries provide the means, and as the United States makes foreign provide the means and as Germany and France and Kussia do, for paying the cost of the protection and development of her commerce. So distinguished a man as Mr. Goschen, for- merly chancellor of the exchecquer, and at presect first lord of the admiralty, a gentle- man who is admitted to be one of the first commercial authorities in the world, has declared that no nation whatever would have the slightest grornd for find- ing fault if England did,in a slight degree, what every other country dos in a great degree. What could Spain say? Woat could Holland say? What could any of those countries say that admit the products of their own countrie ? They could only admit that they were at last compe led to take a homeopathic dose of the same medicine that they have been themselves dealing out by the tablespoon- full te other countries. (Applause). You have no doubt seen some speculat- ion as to what caused the change of pub- lic opinion that swept the liberal party out of power in England, and brought the Salisbury government in by such a large majority. I have listened to the explanations given by public mea of all parties to account for this chang», and I have made it my business during the past twelve years to study those questions thorough!y in the heart of the empire it- self; and | am in a position to tell you, on the authority of one of the most eminent end distinguished men in the House of Commons, that in this sweep ng out of the Liberal party by the tide of putlic Opinion, ONE OF THE MOST POTENT INFLUENCES was the conviction that has seized upon the minds of the industrial classes, the people who are engaged in agriculture aod manufacturing, that they are not get- ting fairplay at the hands of foreign countries, and that the Conservative party will be more likely to protect the trade of the country tian any other. (Applause.) I do aot intend and [ must not weary your patience by prolonging these remarks. (cries of ** go on, go on,”), but I will say this, I hold in my band a copy of the Sat- turday R view, one of the most alle and one of the mo-t independent journals of Great Britain, and what dues it say on the subject? It says, and it says in the light of recent events, that when it was found th«t Eng!and occupied a possion in Europe of almost complete 1-olation, when she was threatened by the great republic of tae United States on the one hand, and by Germany on the other, the conclusion was come to that if England was to retain her position of importance in the world, if she was to remain the mightiest power in the world, there was only one way to do it, and that was by the cultivation and ex- pansion of her great colonial posssessions, and by the building up in the northern half of the continent of America, by the building up in the great continent of Aus- tralasia, and by the building up in South Africa of great uations, that in the hour of need they will stand to her back and maintain her power and prestige in the world in spite of any combination of for- eign powers. (load and prolonged ap- plause.) Ido not hesitate to say that I regard it as a solemn duty, incumbent upon every Canadian, to cultivate the most friendly and the best relaticn: with the great republic to the south (f us, but we have been taught an important lesson, and that is that if we are to be true toour- selves and our children, if we are to be true tothe glorious British institutions that we now possess, if we are to be true to those institutions that give security to life, liberty and property as no other institu- tidns in the world do, f we are=to be frue to that heritage, and if we are to ‘maintain that possesion, we must stand shoulder to shoulder, in maintaining these institutions and developing by every means in our power whatever will serve to draw us closer to each other and to the mothe: country to which we owe so much.
