| w uld be impossible for me to be present on publie occasions without appearing to | concur inthe stand he was taking or | adopting the very disagreeable position of | disegreeing with what the
of Canada was saying, i. Inviiations might have
representative I declined to accept where an opportunity arisen of my being called upon
to say anything. I was greativ surprised . - 4 to find out that at the reception given io
the Colonial Premiers at Liverpool by the Duke of Devonshire, aschairman of the British Empire League, when the proposal for preferential trede within the Ewyire was made by the Dake of Devonshire it
was met by a statement by Sir Wilirid Laurier that he proposed tocarry out the principle of free trade, and that all he had to say inreference to preferential trade within the Empire was to report what its strongest opponents had urged against it. In my Opiaiom a great opp rtuaity was thrown away. Nobody can read the epe-ch of the Duke ot Devonshire which brougnt down upon him the strictures of the Cobden party throughout England as abandoning the pricciple of free trade, without feeling that Canada sustained as she would have been by the autonomous colonies except New South Wales could have eecured preferential trade within the Empire How Sir Wilfrid Laurier reeoaciled his de- clarateon when seeking power that he was as stroagly in favor of preferential trade as Sir Charlies Tupper and that he wou d endeavor to obtain it by megotiating wich Lord Salisbury, and his determined atti- tude against it in Eagland, I cannot underscand. A great opportunity bas thus been lost of at onoe securing prefer- ential trade within the Empire, which’ would give the products of Canadaa pesition in the markets of Great Britain that would have resnited in rapidly bringing people and capital into Canada and enhancing the wealth of all classes and the progress of the country.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
“No person rejoices more heartily than
I do at the cordial reception given to Sir Wilfrid Laurier in England, and the
interest that has in consequence been naturally excited in Canada.’ No person <an question the mannerin which Sir Wilfrid sustained oe the other side his reputation as an —— but I have yet to learn of any instasce in which he took advantage of the great enannaities efturd- ed him to promote the interests of Canada He proclaimed at the outset the desire of Canada to give a preference to Great Britain, and naturally every pereou in the Woited Kingdom wes only too glad to learn that the duties were to be reduced in Canada upon British goods coming into Canada. But no person who has foilowed the proceedings in the Canadian Parlia- ment, or who understands the question at all, can fail to perceive that the Goveru- ment stands convicted either of ignorance of the question with which it was dealing, or, what is worse, of palpable dishonesty. When the proposal was submitted to the Canadian Parlia— ment which it was claimed was intended to give a preference to Eng- land, 1t was at once declared by the “p- position to be entirely delusive. ‘Ibe Government took the ground that the treaties with Belgium and Germany would not prevent the ‘clause from going into operation, and giving an advantage in our markets to British products. The Opposi- tion declared that the terms of the resolu- tion submitted to Pariiament with that avowed object would bave the effect of discriminating against England instead of favoring it, as severai other countries would bealso placed in the position to claim the reduction granted under the proposed law, w hile England would be debarred by the treaties in question from having that advantage. Tne Opposition
gross
ot the ireatie-, but told the Governm rent that it could not obtain the assent of the Governor-Geaeral to the bill unless the clause extended the reduction to Belgium and Germany anda! other countries uncer the favored nations clause. The resalt was that the Government consented to change the position by bringing down such acilause. The statement that it had already done what it could not do, give preferential treatment to England, has iu like manner been refuted by the tact that not only bas it been obliged to extend by o:der-it-Council the privilege to Belgium aud Germany, but it has announced that it would refund the duties exacted from these countries over the amount at which British preducts were admitted.
THE DENOUNCED TREATIES.
“Tne claim that Sir Wilfrid Lavrier has made that he secured the denanciation of the Belgium and German treaties is shown to be fuundationless in fact by the State paper laid on the table of the House of Commons by Mr. Chamberlain. It is well known that the United Empire Trade League and the friends of preferential trade throughout the Empire had by their very able and successful negotiations pre- pared the public mind for the denunciation of the treaties. The great conference which took place at Ottawa at which South Africa, pescreles aud the other colonies
pices pans a resolution in The Agents Ger
not ovly maintained “the binding character |

It were found to be untenable, and that the views and policy of the Oj position have
ivid the endorsement of the Imperial a A still greater humiliation too, awaits the Government in connection
with this clause. Any one who reads the state paper and Mr. Chambertain’s ad- dress will find - no preference can be given to the goods of the United Kingdom
» +} }
ov Canada, ex‘ sept by expunging the clause
from statutes and substituting another providing for giving a pre- ference to Great Britain = =.10- minatem, as, although afier the Bel- gium and German treaties have been
disposed of at the end of a year, the most favored natiess clause in all of Great Britain’s commercial treaties to which the colonies are a part, provide that any tariff concession given to any third power must be given to all countries having a favored sation arrangement with Eag- land. Sir Wilfrid Laurier will therefore be compelled either to abandon the posi- ion he has taken of wishing to give a preference to the products of Great Britain in Canada or he must repeal the present clause in the Act aud eubstitute fer it one specific ally for giving te England
aleve this advantage. Notwithetanding tke deciaration made by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Louis Davies, and other
members of the gevernment, that no country could take advantage of the pre- ference except Great Britain, a most cursory examination of the tariff of Holiand and even ef Belgrum wiil show that even after the treattes have been de- nounced those countries, as well as Japan,
China and other ceuntries, will be in a position to demand admis- sion at the reduced rate. The alleged preference ‘for British goods
is thus shown te be a compete delusion. I hope that after all the declarations Sir Wifrid Laurier has made that he wishes to give England a preference, he will have no hesitation in taking the only means possible by repealing the clause in question. If there is any hesiation the government will expose itself to ridicule and show how hollow and insincere is their alieged desire to give England « preference. Au other curious fact remains to be noted, In the Canadian Parliament end in England | Sir Wilfrid declared that Canada was conferring atoon on England outot gratitude for what England had done for us, Oa his return to Canada, the Premier oo danother line in direct contradiction by declaring that in accepting the pro- posa! for the denunciation of the treaties Kogland had made a great sacrifice,
CANADA A NATION.
“J was much amused to find that Sir Wilfrid Laurier since his return ty Canada has made the discovery that Canadais a nation. Heseems to have forgotten that at the Imperial Institute banquet, at a time when the treaties had not been de- pounced, and there was no immediate prospect of the denunciation, be declared that Canada was now a vation because she
wastree. The idea that freedom alone makes a nation is simply grotesque when it is remembered that P:ince Edward I sland, for instance, might be placed in the enjoyment of complete freedom, and vet po one would pretend that wou id make nation. A much better definition was given by the late Ambassador of the United States, when he gave utterance to the fact that the Confederation of British North America end the con- struction of a great inter-oceanic line of railway ‘had brought tbe United States face to face with a nation. At first sight it could not but be a matter cf surprise that the accomplishment of these great achievements should never have received the sl'ghtest attention from Sir Wilfrid Laurier in his epeeches in Engiand. The reason is not far to seek, as veither Sir Wilfrid Laurier nor the Rouge party had any Jot or part in the making of Canada a nation, but the great work of Confederation and the spanning ot the continent was accomplished not only without their assistance, but despite their most determined opposition. Elvquent as his speeches certainly were, the reader will search in vain for ore kind or generous allusion to Sir John Macdonald, or to the great French Canadian Sir George Etienne Cartier, to whom Canada ¢ ves such a grea: debt of gratitude. I repeat, that, gratified as weall must be at Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s reception in England, we cannot but deplore the fact that the grea! opportunity presented was completely thrown awsy. Everybody interested in the unity and development of the Empire will rejoice that the denuniciation of ihe treaties has removed the difficulty im tne way of establishing preferential trade re- lations within the Empire. It wiil now be the daty of all friends of preferential trade within the Empire to maintan in and out of Parliament a steady agitation in favor of not ouly providing @ real prefer- ence in favor of Great Britain, but also of obtaining from the Mother Country the great advantage of placing our products in a better position in the markets of . the United Kingdom.”

A Great Meetixe.—The Summerside Agriculturist says the race meeting on the Charlottetown Driving Park during the Exhibition was one of the best ever held in Canada, with magnificent trotting and splendily coutested races. It says: Never did we see, in such large fields of starters,so little breaking, and everything carried on 80 smoothly. This meeting put seven horses in_ the 2.30 list, giving several of them low marks and broke a number of records. {wenty heats were trotted in be- ter than 230, and 2.404 was the s!owest heat of the meeting. Montrose,for instance, trotted thirteen heats, four of which he won. The Maritime record was broken by Montrose, Warren Guy and Minota. It was a great meeting, the greatest in its results, many horsemen claim, in the trotting history of the Maritime Provinces.
