The Land Act, Lord Salisbury declared, would

he never knew period when Europe was more

AGAINST UNRESTRICTED RECIPROCITY.
THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED IN THE
HOUSE by 26 MAJORITY ON SIR RICHARD
CARTWRIGHTIS MOTION

SUSTAINED
HOUSE BY 26 MAJORITY ON SIR RICHARD
CARTwNGHT's NOTION
Ottawa. July 90 (SpecaD.-The vote on the budget
took place at an early hour this morning The Gov
ernment was sustained by twenty-six majority. The
rejected amendment proposed by Sir Richard Cart
wright one Of the Liberal leaders was as follows:
That the situation Of the country requires that the
Government should forthwith reduce all duties on articles
Of prime necessity, and more particularly on those most
generally consumed by artisans, miners fishermen and
farmers and further
That the negotiations which the House has been in.
formed to a. Washington October next should
be conducted the basis Of the extended reciprocal
freedom of trade between Canada and the States
in manufactured well as natural products.
The debate has lasted nearly a fortnight Taking
the keynote from the Hon. George f. Foster Minister
of Finance, the Government supporters all opposed
unrestricted reciprocity alleging that ii would lead to
political union. From the Liberal point of vtew Mr.
Spohn spoke of the benefit that the lumber trade
would derive from the adoption Of unrestricted
reciprocity, and pointed out the beneficial effect 1t
would have upon the tanning business From all evi.
dences about him. he could not but be convinced
that reciprocity would give to this country great
prosperity. He therefore would vote for the amend
ment.
Mr.. Henderson In reply said that the Conservative
party would continue the old policy of endeavoring
to the best terms in the matter of trade

would be In the interests Of the country that the
treaty of 1854 should be renewed, nor would
unrestricted reciprocity be beneficial to the country
Mr. Murray cOntended that the speeches of honorable
gentlemen opposite were not consistent with the
position Of the Conservative party during the recent
campaign They had humbugged the people of
Canada. The National policy had not been an ad-
vantage TO Canadian farmers. One way Of reducing
the expenses of the country when unrestricted reel
procity adopted would be to abolish the Senate
which was the fifth wheel ON the coach. Re-
ierring to the exodus he said that at the
station of Coulonge in Pontiac County he
found several families who were being taken
TO Minnesota by wealthy farmers Of that state.
Mr. Mcdonnell Of Algoma said that Sir Richard
CsrtwHght's amendment was an old friend arIayed in
new clothes. 1t unrestricted reciprocity, and
therefore he opposed 1t.

Foster representing the Dominion Government, will
