The example i a ‘ Senaee’ ple ig cre io be | THE rele DAILY EXAMINER | THE FARMER WAS SACRIFICBD To tbe interest of the United States farmer the farmer of Canada has besn sacrificed by the blundering of the Laurier Government. Sir Charles Tupper’s policy is 10 givé COnsiceration for coneideration tothe Americane, but to give no conces- sion for nothing. It was in accordance with this poliey that the Liberal-Conser- vaiives placed on the etatute book an off-r to admit American corn free if the United States would take our barley without charg'ng aduty. This was surely a fair offer. When the Laurier Government came ip it withdrew this cffer,and gave free corn for nothing. When the proposition was made by Mr. Field{ng, Mr- Charlion ob-~ He said : “In giving the Americans free ecrn we ure giving them something that is in their estimation 80 important concession, and we are giving them that conc esion with-~ outa guid proquo, Thatis the pasrticu- lar @tjection,and the only objection, I hive io the admission of corn free of duty. Then Mr Charlton made s survey of the situation in order to prove that we ought not to giveto those peoplea single copcession which they might deem of value without reeeiving sometbiug in re- turn. He points out that in 1896 we bought $58 000,080 worth of goods from the Americane,$29,000,000 of which came | ia free. How did they meet our large | purchases from them aod our extended free liet ? What did they say when we asked them to permit us to pay for the products of their labor with the products of our labor? They introduced a new tariffin which they made their duties higher. Weare required to pay $6 per head ou cattle, $150 yer head on hoge, 3C on horeer, $1.50 on sheep, thirty cents ® busbel, or 125 per eent ad valorem, on barley, fifteeu cents a buehel on corn buckwheat, and oste, twenty-five cents a bushel on wheat, $4 tons on bay,twenty- five c-nte a bushel on potatoes, and so on. Mr Charl on proceeds :— “This refuses! om the part of the United Staice,with our literal trace arrangements towarde them, to receive on terme of we ghbourly comity to the producte of our labor creeter a cordition of things in tke highe+tdegree uneatistactory, and in view uf (bere circumetances I held that to give the Americaue tree acmiesion for their corn is graptitg te thema ccncersien to wh ch th-y are vot entitlec-” Besr in mind the question is wheiber, in sdmifiing comm tiee, the Government gasea -ievor improperly tothe Uniied States. Mr. Charitom centinuee thus: - “Il hod that we «ugbt te retain corn on the duiibe jt umul we can secure some Cous.de.a ob from tLe Ucited States in reurn. J huow by experience that in the Weviern Siaces— in lowe, Illinois, Wis- Couria, aod in he other great core States, wheb are the centre cf epposition te jected. reciproci'y in sgricvliurel pro~ ducie between these two countries —ihbe tree admission of core in'o the Canadian market 18 consid- ered a matter of very great importance ; and I-kue# that the hostility of these Western farmers to concessions which wiiladmit free of duty the producte of our 6vil into the American market can te very largely reduced, and tu @ great extent removed, by placing before those farmers the important consideration we have to give up pe mitting their corn to ente: our merkits free of duty. I know this from experience, from hundreds of instances in which I have dis@yssed the question with American farmers. I knew th tin the great m- jority of cases theee men sry, — ** We wit! not otject to give you free ad- mirsion Of hay, free admission of potatoes acd free admits:on of barley in some cates if you will give we toe free admission ot corn.” Under theee circumstances it wold be the part of thr.ft for us te bold this concestion beck until we can secure come quid pro quo for granting it, and [ urge \heee COnsiderations upon the Gov~ ernment.” It looks afer all se if the granting ef free corn to the Yankees were a faver to them that ehould not have been given. At least such is Liberal testimon . B64 matter of fact, the move ment was one o Mr. Fielding’s blunders a-icsiog from hi, inability to understand commercial) affairs even when explained to him. Ibe Musil and Empire points out that when after giving away al] it hed to give it, jt went to Washicgton to look for a quid pro. quo, the Americans were so well eaticfied with what they. had already recured tha; they did not want to negotiate except upon terms that are exceedingly enercus, The danger now is that the initia) blunder, whieh Mr Charlton tried in vain to stop, may te followed by another blunder made in the at’empt to repair mis- tske Nol. The Waehingion cemmission is stil] oper, and if Laurier pulls th-eagh an election he will pay high for wh«t he ~miebt have got for comparatively |i tle It is because his mind is fixed on Wih- ington that he oppoees Britisn prefere nia wrade eo strenu.usly. The British preter. ence, ie incompatible with the Washington preference, and besides it ie not app: oved ‘ of by either Bouraeea or Tarte.
