THE SITUATION.

ABLY REVIEWED BY SENATOR FERGU- SON.

Overwhelming Arralgme_t of the Govern-

ment,

(Continued from Hansard.)

Hon. Mr. Ferguson said:~ When the House rose, yesterday afiernoon, I was speaking ot the presentation of the Cobden medal to the premier of Canada during his visit to Great Britain last year,and I was pointing out that that medal was presented to the right hon, gentleman with what might be called a condition attacued, which I learned from my hon. friend the Secretary of State in this House the other day, is about to be violated. The cov- dition was tkat it the Cobden Club, speak- ing through the mouthof Lord Farrar, believed that the object and intention of the government of Canada in obtaining the denunciation of the German & Belgian treaties was to give a preference to Grea Britain, they would not have been there. Yet the hon. gentieman accepted the medal. Now, I have to carry that point further, and take the position that the right hon. gentleman must have known when he heard that condition expressed that he could not comply with it, because it was at Jeast one month earlier, viz.,on the 24th of June that the meeting of the Premiers took place in London, and on the opening Mr. Chamberlain explained to that confer- ence (I have the official report in my bands) that it would be necessary for the government of Canada to change what they call the reciprocal offer of last year, be- cause even if the German and Belgian treaties were denounced, the favoured- nations elause inthe treaties with other countries would atiil remain and under its operations Canada could not give a pre- ference toavy foreign country without granting the same favor to all nations hav~ ing by atreaty aright to most favour:d treatment. He.(Mr. Chamberlain) point- ed out, that in case of Holland if a prefer- ence was given to her, cther countries would have a like privilege, and he explained tothe premier of Canada and to the others that it would be absolutely necessary either either to go back ow that Canadian reciprocal resolution altogether, or to confine the pre- ference to Great Britain and her colonies, The only opening forthe hon, premier to get out of the position in which he is placed with regard to the accepting of that medal is that he may have, at that moment, intended to go back en-~ tirely on the reciprocal resolution and not to givea preference to Great Britain at all. If that was his position when he aecepted the medal he maintained his honor that far, but I cannot conceive bow he can centinue to retain his honor and at the same time retain the medal when his colleague the Secretury of State has an- nounced in his House the intention of the government is to confine that preference to Great Britain.

But I take other grounds to show that the premier is not entitled to wear that Cobden medal. I take the ground that in Canada

his party du not claim today that they are standing on free trade principles. It would be folly for them, before the people of this country, or anyene who knows the history of their tariff, or the effect of the tariff, to eay that it is a free’ trade measure. It is by no means a free trade tar ff. That my hon friend from Halifax pointed out some re- epects in which it is not a free trade tariff. He eaid the manufacturere were protected enough. He acknowledged the principle of protection was in the tar fl, and he thought they had enough protection, and there might bea duty of 5 per cent imposed on raw moterial; and he pointed out another noiable imstance of the way this tariff is not only protective, but extremely protective, and this is in the matter of coal oil. It is notorious that in the contest which took place in Centre Toronto not very long ago, the candidate and the speakers in the interest of the government, claimed that the government had given the manuface turers a strong protection, which was to be continued. Therefore I claim that, apart altogether from the condition which Lord Farrar attached to that medal having been violated by the avnouncement made by the Secretary of State, the policy of the “government inthe shaping of their tariff,"and the effect of their tariff in Canada, precludes the hon. gentlemen from honourably wearing the medal pre- sented tohim by the Cobden Club. In connection with that, and before passing from it—and that is the only further re- ference I intend to make to that question— | I want to say that I think the present on} vernment are entitled to commiseration on account of the position they occupy with regard to the tariff and its protective character, My hon. friend the leader of the opposition in the House read to you extract after extractof speeches of almost every leading man in tha ranks of that government, when be was in opposition, telling the country what he was guing to do in the way of demolishing protection— eliminate every vestige of protection—cut the head off protection and trample on its body—-this villainous system of legalized

robbery—scoundrels great and scoundreis small—applied tothe manufacturers of { the country were made as fly like ‘rockets in Our political atmosphere for 18 years, A chorus against protection was raised by the present members of the goverament when they were in opposition, and it was joined in by their speakers and writers and the press, fora great many years, and culminated in their Ottawa platform,ae we all know. In the face of that, we have, today, a strong protective tariff, almost as rauch so as the Conservative party would desire. In view of all these facts, and in view of this position which the Govern- j ment occupies today, it would be interest-

ing to recall a warning and prediction made by Sir Richard Cartwrgbt, Minister of Trade and Commerce, a eolemn warning

Here is what the hon. gentleman said;

“*There are two lessons which I think the Une

ic party in the United States, It shows to all who choose to read the signe of the

times, that when a party places itself at the head of a great popular movement, if the party tender* a stone josi-vd of breed, it is half-hearted in the pro-ecation of the great aim it set* before it, and will be de- eervedly awept out of power by the very people would have sustained and advanced +.”

That is a prediction which the Minister of Trade and Commerce made himself, a solemn warning which be uttered to the

members of bis party, and I feel assured ;

that it was a truthful and ominious warn- ing, and the hon. gentleman, if he does not get out of the boat, wil! find the rate over- take him which he predicted would over- take all public men who, atter baviog put themselves at the head of a great popular movement, would go back upon it, ignore it, and trample it under tleir feet. Now, we have heard a great deal about the denunciation of these treaties, and it is claimed that the government have given evidence of a very great amount of stateemanship by the course they have pursued in regard to this matter. When the so-called reciprocal resolution was submitted to the House of Commons Jast April by Mr. Fielding, the conservative leaders in the Houte of Commons at once told him and the premier across the floor of the House of Commons thatthey were proposing an unconstitutional resolu~ tion and one which they coula not carry out. Tiey warned them if they persisted in that resolution it would become the duty of the Governor General to withhold hia assent from it; that it was impossible for the Governor General to assent tosuch a resolution. They based that opinion on the despatah of Lord Ripon of June, 1895. Any one would have thought it was 60 _~ plain that school boys would have known jts meaning and would have governed them-~ selvesaccordingly. He said:

“For this reason and in order to prevent inconveniences, it will be desirable of such preferential duties are included in a gener- al tariff bill, that a proviso should be added that they are not to,come;into opera- tion until her Mojesty’s pleasure bad been signified,”

Here was the instruction that was ad- dressed to the Governor General! of Canada and the governor of every colony in the British Empire. It was a circular despatch in which they had the plainest orders set

before them that they were not te give Her Majesty’s assent to any bill which contained preference of any kind. In the

face of that, the government went on_ for weeke, ignoring all that was said to them and arguing that their proposal did not cowe urderthe terms of Lord Ripon’s deepatch atall. They set up two couten- tions: first that these treauiee—the Ger- man and Belgian—did not apply to us, because Canada had not been consulted and Canad had not ratified those treaties as a separate colony of the empire. The second ground was thatthe propositton did vot mean a preference at ali ; it was simply a reciprocal provision, and for both these reasons or either of them, the German and Be'gisn treaties did nut apply. The Hon. Sir Louie Davies, the Minister of Marine aod F sheries, who becam? the moathpiece of the government in regard to this matter, said this :

“When this resolution was tabled the hon gentlemen (referring to Sir Charles Tup- per) declared it an fillegal and unconstitu- tional resoiution. Can he lay his finger ujon a single paragraph puoliehed in apy pewspaper of weight ia the world endor-- ign that extravagant statement of his? Can he produce the opinion of a prominent lawyer or even of a fiedgeling lawyer eu- doreing the absurd ana ridiculous etate- mentmade by him that the resolution was unccnstitutional and illegal ?”

This was the declaration of the mouth pieceof the government. Shortly afters wards, boweve,‘ hey actually brought down an ameddmeut which partiy removed the difficulty and which showed they bad ao confidence in their own contection. It ex tends the provisions of the resolution to al! nations with which Great Britain had trea- ties in regard to trade. With that provi- sion attached, the royal assent would be given to it, but they still contended that the German aud Belgian treaties did not apply to Canada and even if they did apply in general they did not apply to this pro-~ visiom because it was a reciprocal provision acd was not in the nature of a preference to any country in pirticular,—they « | would have to earn this advantage by makingatariffas low as our. This was the argument and with that argument

“Three from two you can’t,” says the schoolboy. Right! Three from two you can’t, either in dol- lars or dividends or sarsaparilla. It takes the best sarsaparilla root to maxe the best sarsaparilla ex- tract. The best sarsaparilla comes from Honduras, C. A., and the Dr. Ayer Co. practically controls the entire product. Yet others claim to be making “best ” sarsaparilla. They must be making it out of the remainder left after subtracting three from two. But, “ three from two you can’t.” You can’t make the best sarsaparilla without best root. You only get the best when you

the premier left for England. What do we find? We fiad that the law lords decided against the government. They say those treaties with Belgium and Germany were denounced on account of this resolution that our Parliament had paseed, It is significant however that the treaties were denounced befire the” English law lords heard the argument ofthe Canadian re- presentatives. J donot pretend to say ; that that resolution was altogether with- out weight in the consideration of the en- | tire question. It may be that it was de- ' trimental in some respects. Iwill prove thet it was regarded as a detriment to the abrogation of the treaties by come men,and assurances hed to be given that there was po danger before they were denounced. Ky some the Canadian resolution may have been regsrded as an auxiliary, but we } have itfrom Mr. Chamberlain himeelf, | in the report of the conference and from a eubsequent speech made by him, that when he received the resolution of the couference—the unanimous resoiution of the conference—ask ing for the denunciation of the treaties which hampered the rights of the colonies to give preference to Great Britain, he laid the matter seriously before the government and the government de. cided to denounce these treaties.

SURPRISE PARTY AT CRAPAUD:

A grand and pleasant surprise party took place lasi evening at the residence of Mr. aud Mrs, O* B, Wadman, Crapaud, when about forty members of Wadman Divisioh Sons of Temperance, assembled bripging baskets fullto overflowing with all the delicacies imaginable.

The Government has been asked toen- force the prohibition of inioxicating liquoss in the Yukon.
