Resolved, That we have seen with re-
greet disposition among some ofour lead
ing politicians, including our own CHEF
magistrate, and professel free-traders,
to seek restoration of the recently abro-
gated reciprocity treaty with the Denim
ion Of Canada, which, if consummated,
We believe will operate to depress the i'll
dUstrial interests Of our State, as we have
learned to our sad experience in years
past
Res02ced,, That VIC are unalterably op-
posed to any reciprocity of trade in any
and eyey form with Canada, ana can see
no reason to adopt free trade with this
Dominion, any more than with England,
France or Germany, believing that pro-
lection to our own domestic industry is a
paramount duty Of our government in these
times Of onerous taxation, for national,
state and town necessities.
Res0Jced, chat the markets of our own
country shall be secured to our own in
dastry, IN preference to all foreigners, who
bear mons Of our burdens, and are not en-
titled to sell their produce free Of taxa
ton, to the exclusion of our own, which
are heavily taxed.
ReSotcca, That the secretary be direct.
cd to furnish cur senators and representa-
tiyes in Congress copy of these resolu-
tiona, ana that they be and are hereby
requested 10 use their influence against
the project Of a renewal Of any reciprocity
Of trade with Canada, or with any other
Of the British Provinces Of North Ameri-
ca; and in doing this we believe we speak
the sentiments Of the farmers ofoar State,
and Of vast majority OF cur people.
