MR. SHERNfAN'S VIEWS NIPRACTICABLE.
THE SENATOR'S SPEECH AGAINST RETALIATION


Washington, Sent 10 spccan.-senator sherman's
speech In the Senate against the Retaliation bill has
created good deal Of surprise among Republicans on
account of his advocacy Of commercial union with
canada, a scheme which originated with Erastus
Wlman, of New-York, about a year ago.
In April last Sir John Macdonald, Prime Minister
of Canada, said to the Editor of :" The Pail Mall
Gazette" England viii have nothing to do with it,
the United States viii have nothing to do with it, and
Canada will have nothing TO do with it,
a prominent Republican who has given much study
to the subject said tonight "The scheme Is utterly
lmpractcablc of administration The United States
Will never consent that Canada shall have the control
OF foreign customs line and Canada Will mover
consent 10 allow officers Of the Unit- States 70
guard or customs al her ports That would bs
the worst sort OF entangling alliance against
which Washington warned his eountrymon. When
wlnan went TO Canada, in order to ingraate himself
with the Dominion people, first sought to ingrati-
ate himself In their favor by declaring himself loyal
and loving subject of the Queen and by exolllng tho
Canadian form OF Government, declaring 1t to be
superior to that OF the United states Then he went
into some very nice figuring TO prove that the effect
of commercial union will be, first, to strengthen tho
Canadian British connection and second, promote
The interests Of Great Britain. This was his arglI-
mont: Let split the difference between the tariff Of
the two countries that VIII let very large OF
British goods into the United States and please tho
mother country, ard free trade with hc United States
Will relieve tho needs of Canada for the freedom Of
the markets Of the United States. and stop all talk
about annexation. And the argument was sound.
Bat Sir Charles Upper sat down Wman pretty
hard In the House Of Commons, and squeezed all tho
lie out Of commercial union In Canada. lie declared
that Wman had not only schemed for a seat In thu
House Of Commons, but had even aspired tn the
leadership OF the Liberal party. This plctely
squechcd Mr. Wiman and his political plrations."
