MUTUAL OR IMPERIAL PREFERENTIAL TRADE.

Mr. Frepixc said at the Rink in this city: “ Sir Charles, however, declares that he

wants @ mutual preferential tariff. Well, so do I.”

When Mr. Fielding raid this, he must have forgotten that his party leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, told the British people) that he didn’t want any such thing.

The people must now, therefore, judge between the parties and say whether or nct they are in favor of a preference for iheir products in the British market. Speaking for them as their representative, Sir Wi:frid Laurier has declared that they are not. Is this true ?

—_———— ee

say “let us, since the colonies desire it, pay it by means Of an impost on foreige imports, while we continue to let the products of the colonies ccme in free.”

Further, there has lately been breugh; home te the British people a saving knowledge of what their posi'ion would be in ease of general war, with their daily food supply in the hands of foreign, perhaps hostile, mations! Is it to be supposed that if they see a grand oppore tuvity to bake off their dependence im this regard by the development ef the vast agricultural resources of their coloa nies they will not avail themselves of it— will mot even make some sacrifiees to that end ?

A short time ago the United States Con- sul at Liverpool,Mr. Boyle, reported to his goverument at Washington :

“Beyond gestion, during recent years there bas been @ great development ef sentiment in favorof an Imperial Pre- ferential Tariff, and I do not hesitate to eny that this sentiment has a far stronger

If Mre Fielding is really, as he says he,

is, in favor of rmoutual preferential trade, |

he ought to renounce his leeder and come | over to the side of Sir Charles Tupper, and | vote to show the British peovle and the| Empire at largethat Sir Wilfrid Laurier | misrepresented the Canadian people when he said that mutual preferential trade, with its immense possibilities, is not de- sired by them. This is what hundreds of other Liberals are going to do; and it is) what he would do if he were honest and’ sincere,

Bat, while he says he wants mutual preferential trade, he offers this excuse for taking the other side: He says, in effect, hat even though the Canadian people and the people of the whole Col onial Empire may deeire it, preferential trade will not be accepted by the states- menand people of Great Britain. He says that it is “arrant humbug,” that it is foolish, that it is ridiculous to expect them to accept it. Rememberiog that Mr. Fielding and his political friends used just as strong lan- guage in denunciation of Confederation» the Canadian Pecific Railway and the Nationa! Policy, and that all these mea- sures have bsen proved to be feasible and beneficial, the people of Canada will be | incliaed to receive their declarations as to} Mutua! Preferentiai Trade with a grain of salt, and to look imto the matter ‘er thems | seives. What groucds are there ior sup-| posing that tbe people of Great Britain not admit of Mutual Preferential

within the Empire ifit should be made clear thatthe great coloniesof the E wpire desire it? Arethe present cons ditioos of British trade so favorable that the pecyle of Great Britain can wish for no change? No. Every foreign coun- try ia the world waintains a tariff protec- them. Germany and the Uuited States, both highly protected countries, beth overtaking their m inufaciured products in all foreign mar- kets ; and they bave to fight as they never fought before against ihe competition of taeir rivals ino trade. It ie, indeed,clear that a change of conditions must be effected or the people of Great Britain must ere long lose the proud pre-eminence which they | have heretofore maintained. What more natural,{then, than thet they should turn to their great colonies beyond the sea, and vield to an expreeecd desire for a mutual | preference in each other’s markets?

Again, the expense of the Boer war and the cost of maintaining a great arma« ment iu China must have the effect of adding materially te the burden of the } Britich people’s taxation. More money must, in some way, be made up; the Brit- ish people must by some means pay it; ard,’ being a practicsl people, they may

hold, not oaly among the masses of the people of Great Britain, but even among the politicians, than the party newspapers and party leaders concede. It is a signifi cunt fect that for the last two years this question has been discussed more than any other at meetiogs of Chambers of Commerce and trade Organizations Great Britain and her eolonies,”

And Mr, Kemp, the President of the Toronto Board of Trade, has returned from England with the news that Imperial Preference is making good progress and may easily be brought within the range of practical politics.

NOTES AND COMMENTS,

—The Mail and Empire remarks that the people who, (in 1896) looked to Laurier Tarte & Company for emergency rations nave been served with dog biscuit in- stead,

—According to the Hamilton Times, Hugh Jobn is “a good deal of a cuckoo.” And the Mail and Empire retorts that he is certainly going to walk into Mr, Sifton’s nest.

—So Mr. Tarte wants five more years of “a full pocket.” Of course it is well understood that if his desires should be gratified, hie pocket will be filled out of the pockets of the people.

— By the way, what is this Mr. Field- ing noted for? He is noted as one of the principal parties in the Cape Breton coa! dea!, whicb has resulted in an advance in the price of coal to the extent of upwards of a dollar a ton—a very heavy tax upon the people of Nova Scotia and P.E. Island

—It hae been remarked that whenever Hugh John Macdonald is descrited as a clean politician the Ministerial news- }a@pers at once take it asareflection on Mr. Sifton; and when the Manitobs Premier is called “the man who keeps his word,” they set about apelogizing for Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

—Mr. Tarte has beeen ‘elling the peo- ple of Montreal that he would have had their elevators all completed by this time if bis colleagues in the government had not changed the ministerial policy in his absence. If the master of the administra- tion had been at.bome the others wouldn’t have dared to change his plans: “While the cat’s away the mice will play.”

—There can beno doubt that Kruger’s flight bas greaily helped the Transvaal. Free and intve Transvaal, hejwould be a govern mental centre for exerting &@ power-

tul influence over al] Burghere, Captured,

he would have been a source of the great~ est embarrasement to his captors. But under the protection of the Portuguese government at Lorenzo Marques, it is felt tbat he is off the stage, powerless both for his friends and against his foes.

—When in Port Hope, Ontario, a few days «go, Sir Charles Tupper referred feelingly to the lete lamented and dis- tinguished citizen of Port Hope, Colonel Williams, who had served so creditably in the North-west, and led the charge on the trenches of Batoche—a charge which

—The followers of Sir Wilfrid and Mr. Tarte in Quebec take high greund. For example Mr Victor Geoffrion, of Vercher~ es, paid in the course of a receat speech, **He had never heard the Conservatives bring a charge against the present admiu- istration. They bad eaidin a general way that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had not carried out hie promises, but they never went into details. Nebody regarded what Sir Charles Tupper said, for be changed his miad on ali subjecte within a month. Hon. George E. Foster and Hoo. Hugh John Macdonald were fanatice, who want« ed to c:ueh all French-Uanadiasgs.” Mr, Geoffrion must suppose that the Quebec electors don’t known anything and are very gullible.
