the bill OF last year gave abundant powers to
the president to secure the end aimed at,
and objected to granting further powers
President Grant had asked for similar pow

and should congress now give to President
Cleveland what had been refused to Presi-
dent Grant, He deprecated the passage Of
such laws as proposed in the retaliation bill

seemed great provocation, and had not re-

pretense was neither manly, dignified nor
just
The practical solution Of these questions that
had been pending between the United States
and our Canadian neighbors for so many
years was political and commercial union,
but that could not be reached by unfriendly
legislation. The true policy of the govern
ment of the United States was to tender to
Canada in fraternal way freedom OF trade

cereal duty, and debate on the budget
WAS resumed A number OF challenges
resulted from the days proceedings, bat
all the affairs were amicably settled ex
