/ WtFo u NJOflty uf tucu tneTe, Out tney are
such men as honor. know they have no.
where else to go bot to our markets. The
'' mother country" as they call IL. has failed
to protect them. The markets there do not
suit them and are Of no account TO them, but
they come to us for our markets. ] say let
them come, but let them not come 90 rob the
brave men Of our own country, who have Civ
en- their best blood for the protection Of our
liberties. Let them not come to the exclu-
sion Of those who have birthrights and who
bear the heat and burden Of the day. We
will treat them as well az we do the most fa-
vored nation, as neighbors, but we will not
feed and clothe them. II they are to enjoy
our markets let IL be cn the same terms with
other nations Of the world Why nots Is
there any man opposed to giving this notice
who can show what has ever been discovered
during the working Of this treaty which
would induce US to believe that there is any
thing on the part Of the Csuadisns that they
can give us for what we give them t, What
reciprocal advantages can they return to US
What benefits do they give us for those we
confer on them' They tell us that we may
go to their markets. Why, sir, they have no
markets. We may go there, but what is the
use Of going there if there are no markets
know there are no markets there was
born near there, and know what say. Fiji
~ bullocks from Illinois would frighten every
butcher out Of Montreal
The House will excuse my homely com
parisons. ! am, when at home, nothing but
farmer, and thank God for il. II it were
not for him, what trade or commerce would
we have? He has, by his industry and skill,
brought this land into cultivation, and upon
his labor the past and the future Of our ooun-
try rests securely.
Mr.. Speaker, you have raised up the manu-
features Of Canada since this treaty went into
operation. Since its ratification, at every ses-
sion Of the provincial Pariiment they have
imposed duties upon cur msnuiacture-. Their
manufactures are now goins on and flourish
ing, for the very reason that they are driving
out our manufactures Our manufacturers
take their capital and workmen and set up
their establishments there. DO you see any
thing flattering in thati ls that one Of the
reciprocal advantages Do our manufaetur-
ing interests ask us to continue that condi-
ton Of things,
This is subject 10 which feel an interest
and may. perhaps. show some warm h, but
| know that | am right. | want the sbroga-
ton Of the treaty TO be unconditional. II
G ey want anything Of US, aud can show that
/ they can furnish US with some reciprocal ad
vantage, then il will be time to consider the
subject, but they have nothing to give US in
return.
1 will now say few words as IS the line
/ Of communication between the great West
and the Atlantic. They have, at great ex-
pcnse, opened up line Of communication
| from Cssco bay to Lake Michigan, and be-
yond to Grand Rapids.
The Speaker. The gen,leman's time has
expired.
Mr.. Rice. Of Maine. move that the gem
tlemsn be allowed to proceed for ten minutes
longer.
There was no objection; and it was agreed
to accordingly.
Mr.. baxter. thank the House for its
favor.
What was the argument of Mr.. Gait, the
Canadian finance minister, for the making OF
that line Of communication am acquainted
with Mr.. Gait, and know him to be talented
and skilful man, for he took from John Bulls
pocket millions that will never gladden. his
eyes again. What was the cry by which be
took the money out Of John Bulls pocket
Why il was this, that they were going TO
drain the great West. lfthis argument had
not been used they could not have raised
stock TO have built sixty miles Of the road.
Now, it has been said that If we sbrogate
this treaty they will take umbrage and de-
prve us Of their trade. Do YOU believe that
they will do tnat II they did they would
not make one per cent. 10 keep their lines oi
Communication in repair. They want all the
trade they can get, and they will take all they
can get. Do you know of any country that
wants to decrease its carrying trade: Our
products will continue to go TO the Canadas
aud to Casco bay--to Portland, that beauti-
ful city, God bless her-wheiher the treaty
be abrogsted or not.
Gentlemen have talked about importing
wool. | am happy to say that in few days
T We will have something that will lead tbs
people to believe that we have protecting
Government. If the tariff bill, which vii
soon be reported from the Committee o
, Ways and Means, shall be passed by THU
I House, you will see the great prairies OF thu
West dotted all over with sheep, aud within
a few years efter, Instead of importing wool
b we will supply the whole world with WOOL
B. Does any man know where it can be produc
e ed cheaper than here, Only give US support
Z only give us reason TO believe that the peopl
' shall have support in that respect, and W
s shall be able to DO that.
