Gait resumed debate the resolutions In favor OF
Canada beng permitted to make commercial

fatOry remarks, Sir A. 7. Gait said ne should
move an amendment the effect oil which
would be to exclude hom the resolutions the por-
tl0n which related TO the establishment OF Zoll-
yerein. lie claimed that the assent OF the imperial
government to Canada's negotiating independently
would be easily Obtained, and argued that II would
be great advantage II matters of Canadian trade
could be settled without having to pass the ordeal
OF discussion IN the English Parliament. lie depre-
Gated any retaAtory policy. and warned the people
against supporting the government Ia any such
policy.
sir John a. Mcdonald replied, contending that
the amendment struck at British connection, and did
not indicate the best way OF obtaining reciprocity.
lie stated that Great Britain had given Canada
power to negotiate direct through the British MINIS
ter at Washington. He moved amendment in
this sense, which after lengthy debate, was carried
by q large majority.
