An Interesting Debate in the
 Canadian Parliament.
UNJUST CRITICISM OF AMERICANS.


 ing for Boo.lle-CommerciaI Union
 Claimed to Mean Political Union-sIr.
 Cockburn's Ultra-Loyal Speech.
 OTTAWA. March 2o-The budget debate was continued in parliament last night. It is thought Sir Richard Cartwright's resolution In favor of closer trade relations with the United States will undoubtedly be voted down by the government supporters, but such action will hardly indicate the feeling of the people.
 Mr. CockLu,n, If Toro.to, delivered an uica-loyal speech, in which be instituted comparisons to show that the provinces of Canada are enjoying greater prosperity than the states of the Union. He said the decline In land values in New York state from 1870 to 1880 was s270,000, ,OO0, while Ontario, In the same period, experienced all increase of $G625O, 600. He asserted hat three-quarters of the farms in New York state are nlortgagsd. Americas al- legged nristocracy, he said, lived only for Doodle, and he had nothing kind to say about the plutocracy. All ;he Americans wanted was to get the uu,ie or Canada and to give nothing in return. If Canada as the oppo- Ston contended, really wanted closer trade relations, 1t would be uett.r to look back to the time when the United States gave an in- Vltauon to Canadn to become d portion of the American Union on the sane terms as the states forming the Union. Then the resolu- tlons Of Congressman Hit were endorsed by The Canadian Libeiu.s, no pretended to want only unrestricted reciprocity
 'ds made niss," lnughingly interrupted Sir John Macdonald
 de called on the Liberals 10 alter their course If they were loyal subjects and desired to live under the folds of the union Jack The Monroe doctrine, he suid will never be realized in America. The American Union cannot enter into unrestricted reciprocity with Canada, because if she did 1t would be n violation of treaties with other nations. Canada is not for sale, and, come what will, she will work out her own destiny
 The Hon. H. L. Davies denied that the Liberals were ary moro disloyal than the Conservatives. He said ths 'disloyalty" complained of was want of faith in a par hcular policy of the administration
 MT. Madill contended that Canada should continue to look to England as a market for the sale of her surplus agricultural products
 MT. Hudspeth spoke to the same effect.
 Mir. Temple UiberaD, came out in reply in favor of unrestricted reciprocity.
 MT. John Hasgart, postmaster general, went on to prove that unrestricted recipru- city and commercial union were one and the same thing, especially as they both reuulred a common American tariff. This, he asserted would be discriminating against England.
 Mir. Davies pictured the deplorasle cond- tion Canada was in as result of the reck- less extravagance Of the present government Thousands of emigrants had become dis GuSted and had crossed over to settle in the United States. The enormous taxation and high duties disheartened them, coupled with the fact that the most valuable land in the northwest had been grabbed up by boodlers and land sharks, leaving only such as these speculators might reject for actual settle ment. There was not an industry in the dominion which was not suffering depression und which would not be improved by unre- stricted reciprocity with the United States It was the imperative duty of the govern nent to endeavor to make terms with the United States for closer commercial rela- tions.
 Senator Wark gave notice that on Thurs day he will introduce resolution in the sen- ate to prevent the introduction of any legis- lation which will discriminate against Great Britain ln goods imported into Canada from foreign countries The object of his resolu- tion. the senator says, is to cut off the possi- bility of any legislation being enacted which will discriminate ill favor of tine United States against British imports, which. if carried, would practically destroy the possi- bihty of negotiating reciprocity treaty with the United States.
