Hon J. Mott Smith disagreed with the re-
solution entirely, and did Bct think i. vas
right for the Minister Of Foreign Aflirs 70
confer with the America Minister with regard
10 cur laws or To the application Of them.
Thought Il both uudiguifed and unnecessary
to do So. He disagreed entirely With the views
Of the American Minister Of this question. He
has had no occasion 10 interfere with the in
depreciation Of our laws or how thew should

American Minister speaks IS entirely con-
structiye- The whole question was, as the
Aii0Fuey-GeueraI said, the mere purpose Of
preserving amicable relations He did not
believe that, by any process Of arithmetic or
computation the American Minister could
arrive At the conclusion that the uonsufcrce-
msut Of the rule Is causing hardship to the
interests Of the United States. Great Britain
had Just is much cause 10 complain, ard be
believed there was nothing IN the whole busi-
ness, but mere legal point

individual opinion OF the American Min
lister had not been consulted. but after

paying gold had been ratified by his Gov
eminent, It seemed to be an unfrisndly
act for this House to pass a resolution
when looked upon by other powers as an
interference with treaty stipulations
