upon the proposition but he could not consent to any
alteration.
Alter few remarks from Mr.. Labouchere, the reso-
luton wa put and agreed to.
Mr.. Smith o Brien moved that all sorts Of grain,
the produce of the colonial possessions Of Great Br-
tain be admitted at all limes at duty of one shilling
quarter
Lord Stanley said that Government was most anI-
ous to encourage the nportstion of grain from the
Canadas, and that the agricultural interest OF this
country felt jealousy of bona fde importations OF
grain -four from Canada but the quantity OF Hour
brought into Canada from the United States was enor-
nous, and in order TO prevent fraudulent lmportaons
il necessary to maintain the duty of 5s per quar-
ter upon grain from Canada.
Mr.. Labouchere said that frauds might occasionally
be committed but he had no doubt that the greater
part of the flour brought from Canada was Canadian
produce because the Canadians sent their own grown
wheat and -four to this country, and supplied their
own wants from the United States. The same was
the in the Channel Islands from whence the in
habltans sent their produce TO this country duty
free, while they depend upon France tor their own
provision He Mr. Labouchere understood II to be
the intention OF Ministers not TO prevent American
grain, but American four from passing the frontiers
into Canada. lie wished to know why this distnc-
ton was kept up-was il for British or for Canadian
purposes Ii il were for Canadian purposes, would
II not be much wiser leave the regulation Of the mat
ter to the provincial legislature If 1t were for Brl-
fish purposes, he was anxious to hear what OBJECT
would be gained by such course.
Mr.. Gladstone said il was capable Of demonstration
that nineenths, or at all events fourhfhs OF the Hour
imported from Canada came in fact from the United
States As the imposition of duty of Is. barrel
on American -four, il done neither for Canadi'
for British object. The effect of The duty
would be altogether trivial, and It was imposed solely
with reference inter colonial trade. Canada had
free importation of -four and grain IN all the other
colonies there was duty of S., barrel and there
would now be uniform duty of D. per barrel in eve
ry colony
Mr.. S, Wortley thought it important to prevent
privilege given to Canada from being converted into
privilege 10 the United States.
On division, the numbers were, for the amend
ment 3S, against it lS5-majority 81
The resolutions relative TO the duties upon barley
oats rye, pease, and beans wheat, meal, and -four
oatmeal and maize, Indian corn and buck-whea bere
and bigg were then agreed to.
