PAPER READ BEFORE TBE LITERARY AND 8CI- ENTIFIC INSTITUTE, FEB, 4TH, BY GEO. E. FULL, ESQ.

(Continued.)

The power to raise all revenue being still vested in the different British and Colonial Parliaments, and the proportions of money needed for all Imperial purposes, such as defence and diplomatic service being granted by each Home and Colonial Assembly respectively, would place the Council in immediate connection, and largely under control of the people's representatives.

The first great duty of an Imperial Council would ‘be to provide plans and means for the defence of the whole Empire; the United Kingdom and each Colony and dependency sharing in the protection of such defence, and contributing its quota of the expense in proportion t» the value of the interesis at stake.

The following brief outline of the present needed means of defences has been suggest- ed.

1 ‘‘Maintaining in the United Kingdom, British North America, Malta, India, Australia and South Africa, six arsenals and dock yards, secure against attack and capable of supplying all warlke necessaries, ships, armaments, munitions and repairs.”

2. ‘Securing against hostile attack twen- ty coaling stations, soseleeted as to form a chain connecting all lines of communica- tion.”

2. ‘* Utilizing the Imperial army and navy for all wars and for garrisoning the arsenals and coaling stations.”

Without attempting to notice the high military place that this would give to the Empire, or its controlling power in the council of the nations, sufiice it to say that a united nation with such a properly or- ganized and distributed international world- wide system of defence, would have a per- manent prospect of immunity from attack, based on the hopeless magnitude of any measure of success in such an attack.

On this point we quote as follows :-—

Mr. J. Dunisten Woed :—** Other

VOL. 18---NO. 72, nations of the world, they would only be too

gled to give us an equivalent advantage over the other nations of the world in deal-

ng with them, It is our duty and our interest also to see that no Colony is placed in a position in which it would be more advantageous for them to deal and treat with foreign powers than with the Mother Country.”

Mr. Stephen Bourne—‘‘I believe. our present power of retaliation, whether over France or the U, S. A., is sufficiently large to enable us to force free trade on the vari- ous countries of the world. If not, we have this resource : that our colonies—so varied are their productions—eould supply us with everything we really needed.”

“Farr TRADE IN ENGLAND.—Tue Commercial Advertiser's London despatch says the Cabinet have reached a decision on the tariff question. A billis to be prepared for introduction into Par- liament, authorizing the imposition of duties on imports into Great Britain from countries impos- ing duties on imports from Great Britain.”

The feasibility of such a ¢ommiercial union as we have mentioned, is plainly in- dicated and can no longer be called the ‘‘vain visions of a dreamer,” as they were styled some five or six years ago. Among the reasons which would possibiy influence the English voter in favor of it, we might mention the following :-—

1. Tho political ties of the past will not permanently hold to Britain the Colonial nations of the near future.

2. A combination for Imperial and Col- onial defence is now necessary for the safety of all parts of the Empire.

8. The great probability that in the course of a few years the Empire would be able to produce within itself ell its food, staples and manufacturer’s raw material. +

4. The possibility of developing the present limited but profitable Colonial trade into a reliable and eventually suffi cient market for all the Home country’s surplus manufactures.

5. The great interest that an Imperial or Federal Council would have iu directing the immigration of her own and foreign surplus population into her Colonial prov- inces and dependencies.

6. The profitable carrying trade which a mutual exchange of produce would realize

things are of importance, but there is one vital and all-important matter—the defence of the Empire by sea and by land. Lat us devise some machinery for carrying out that ohject—some Federal body. : A simple resolution of the British House of Parliament and of the Colonial Legislatures would effect all we want.”

Duke of Manchester :—‘‘I think the Colonies might have much greater power if their representatives formed part of some assembly of emailer numbers than the House of Commons of the United King- dom.”

It is said that Mr. Forster, the leader of the movement in England, has failen back on the proposal made by Lord Grey, that

all questions of foreign or colonial policy |

should be submitted to a council, which should include representatives of the various Colonies.

The next great question for settlement by the Imperial Council would be the trade relations of the Empire. Whether the produce and manufacturés of one part should enter free of duty into every other part, or be liable to the same duties as those of foreign countries, or at a lower scale of duties. That an Empire could be formed and bound together in federal union with one part barring out the manufactures and produce of another by high protective tariffs, seems te be preposterous; as well might California put a high duty on goods of New England manufacture, and atill

expect to be called a part of the United)

States. It has been well said ‘‘that the strongest ties of a united Britain would be the material interests of a mutually profit- able commercial intercourse ;”’ and it is ad- mitted onall sides even now, with the Empire so loosely connected, that the Mother Country should have an advantage in dealing with the Colonies, and that the Colonies should have an advantage in deal- ing with the Mother Country, over all toreign countries. So that if there is to be a solid, permanent, practical union of the Mother Country and her Colonies into a grand worldwide nation, the whole must be bound together by a convergence of inter- ests, with a porfect freedom of intercourse, such as exists between all parts of the United States of America. So that it will be more “profitable for Canada to ship all her surplus manufactures and produce over to Britain or Newfoundiand, or some other part of the Empire, than it would be to send it to the United States or any other foreign country. Sothat all parts of the Empire would be equally interested in the opening up of new colonies, and the settle- ment of them by the surplus population of Great Britain. So that an exploring party of Canadians, in the heart of Africa, or another of Australians in the new kingdom of Burmah, would be as much under the protection of the Empire as was Gen. Gordon in the city of Khartoum.

The attainment of Free Trade between all parts of the Empire can only be by mutual concessions. For if the Colonies all agree to allow British and each others products and manufactures to enter free of duty, then Britain and all the Colonies must agree as an offset, to place a duty on foreign produce and manufactures. There- fore, we are justified in stating that the only fair and permanent commercial basis of Imperial Federation is Free trade be- tween all parts of the Empire and dutzes on all foreign produce and manufactures.

A few quotations from the minutes of the British Colonial Society will give us some idea of the sentiments of the British people. One speaker says: “I do not think that the Mother Country is altogether fair with the Colonies. Look at the ques- tion of sugar bounties. At the present moment we are actually allowing the West Indies to be ruined. For what? Simply that we may have in this country choaper sugarand cheaper jam than we ought to have.”

The Earl of Dunraven: ‘‘My belief is that if the Mother Country wishes to give an

advantage to the Colonies over the other

to her shipping interests. 7. The establishing for all future time of her principles of justice, philantrophy, progress and indusiry upon the broad foundation of a world-extending, invincible, commercial, military and naval power. The United Kingdom and her Colonies are to-day one-fifth of the whole surface of the globe, peopled by more than 300,000,- 000 inhabitants, with a trade of $5,000,- 000,000 per annum, a public revenue of $1,300,000,000, and would be, when united - in the bonds of Imperial Federation, the greatest Empire that the world ever saw. She then could truly be said to be ‘ That power which has illuminated the surface of the whole globe with her possessions and ‘military posts, whose morning drumbeat, following the sun and keeping company with the hours, circles the earth with a continuous and unbroken strain of the mar- | tial airs of England.” And crowned. with |@ glory more radiant than any military greatness, she would have in her past a retrospect of Christian philanthropy, jus- tice and progress unequalled in the world’s history, and with the vision of some day |re-uniting the bonds of kinship with her |great American offspring. Her future, as | the great Anglo-Saxon Empire, would be a |}power more glorious and beneficent than | was ever seon in the brightest of human visions. Carrying on her banner around ‘the whole globe the great watchword of | ‘‘ Peace and good will to man,” she would | change its wars and shape ite destiny. We will now endeavour to notice the ,eftect which Imperial Federation (on the iterms we have mentioned) would have on the different interests and industries of Canada. Her principal industries may be classed as follows :— 1. Agriculture. . Lumber and Shipping. The Fisheries. . Mining. . Immigration. . Manufactures. The Revenue

The Domirion grows, exports, and will lalways want a foreign market for wheat, | barley, oats, butter, cheese, starch, pork, \flax, hops, potatoes, horses, oxen, cows, sheep, bacon, hams, beer, peas, lard, wool, eggs, etc., etc. Now, as England does, and will always import for her home consump- tion immense quantities of all these agri- cultural products, therefore, she and some of her Colonies are Canada’s only reliable and most profitable market for all these articles except, perhaps, horses, potatoes and eggs Under Imperial Federation the Dominion of Canada would have a better market for all her surplus produce than she would have under any other circumstances. ' At the present time she has to compete in tae British market with sll foreign countries, including nearly ‘every country in Europe. Therefore, it is evident that to the full extent of whatever duty England would place on foreign produce the Domin- ion would have an advantage over all foreign nations.

With such a duty of say 15 per cent., when United States wheat was worth $1 in New York, Canadian would be worth $1.15 in Montreal. When United States cheese was worth 10 cents per lb. in New York, Canadian would be worth 11} cents in Montreal and the same proportion would be true of all other farm produce except eggs, potatees and horses. One great factor in regulating the price of produce, is the rate

SIO orm Cobo

of freight. Now it is evident that under Imperial Federation we would im- [port more largely from Britain and | less from the United States, this

would give steamships 4 better cut- |ward freight, and as they then could , afford to make a lesser return freight than |when only having a good freight the one way, freight rates from Montreal to England would rule much below those from New York, thus giving the Canadian agriculturist another great advantage over

his competitor across the border. (To be continued.)
