leu WIN tue ministers OF dis Ma)esty; Out, as they
are backward in this, as they have been in other
measures for the welfare of the country, it become:
the duty 1.-THE Representatives of the people to take
the initiative.
And this furthermore is a measure that rebukec
the spirit Of those who hope for the decline Of this na-

picion that there is a large quantity of rice and
raw sugar imported into this country. also that
sugar is mixed with other sugars and exported
to the United States free of duty.
Mr.. Rhodes said he could not see any good
that would arise from the passage OF this bill.
We should guard against giving any grounds for
suspicion. He was Of opinion that neither rice
nor sugar could be imported, and afterwards re-
exported to the United States at a profit. There
is already a duty of II cents per 10. on rice I'M
posed some 5 or 6 years ago. lie thought this
law was solely for the protection OF Cinnamon,
and to prevent foreign rice being brought to this
Kingdom. He advocated free trade, not only
with the United States but with the whole world.
He knew that large quantities OF rice came from
| India through China. He would assist in taking
every precaution against the violation oil the re-
ciprocIty treaty with the United States.
Mr.. Castle said this bill should not pass with
out going into the hands of a select committee,
who could comprehend fully its bearing. There
are other aspects besides those mentioned by the

detrimental to our interests with the United
States. He informed the House that there was
| scarcely a native who had a rice patch, the
Chinese possessed them all.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said, the House
ought to proceed with caution in imposing duties.
This bill vas not introduced with the object OF
increasing the revenue, but for the benefit OF
