THE QUESTION OF RECIPROCITY

OTTAWA. Ont, April 9-In the senate
this afternoon the debate on Senator
Works motion on discriminating duties
against the mother country was resumed.
His amendment now stands: whenever q
proposal is submitted TO parliament to
admit goods imported from any foreign
country into Canada at lower rates of duty
than is charged upon like goods imported
from the United Kingdom. then, and not
before, will it be the duty of this house to
seriously consider the propriety of such
proposals"
Hon. Mr.. Abbott said his honorable
friends insisted that the whole of Cana
dian legislation on reciprocity rested upon
the theory that in admitting goods free
from the United States differeutial duties
are created against Great Britain, and
with regard TO goods which were formerly
admitted to reciprocity of trade between
the countries, IL was true under the treaty
Of 1854 But by admitting those free
~e created no preference, as against
England in favor of the United
states, for the reason that these were
goods that were not the subjects of impor-
tation from England. More recent legis-
lation does not even restrict freedom of
trade. a difIerential duty is placing less
duty on certain articles imported from one
country than the duty imposed on the
same articles coming from another couu-
try. Now, in this case the same duty Is
imposed on the same articles, whether il
comes from the United States or England,
and it is mere incident of trade that
goods which we import from England
have larger rate of duty than the rate OF
duty that is paid on goods that we happen
to import from the United States.
Hon. Mr. Abbott moved an amendment
to the amendment--that all words in said
amendment be struck out and the follow
ing be substituted:
ANY measure for securing reciprocity OF
trade with any foreign country with such
of the products of such country as may be
freely interchanged with advantage &C
both would receive the favorable consid
Grafton of this house. but that, in the
opinion of the house, it would not be fol
the interests of the country. nor in couso-
nance with the sensiments of its people <
establish entire reciprocity Of trade with
any foreign nation upon any conditio.
that would restrict with regard TO any
other nation entire freedom OF action fol
protecting its own industries and in reg
ulating its own foreign trade, or tina,
would necessitate the adoption Of dutie.
