Electors Of Canada.

TORONTO, Feb. 9.-Sir John Macdonald

Canada, in which he says: As in 1882 and
again In 1887, SO in 1891 do questions relating
10 the trade and commerce of the country
occupy the foremost place in the public
mind. Our policy in respect thereto is to-day
what 1t has been for the past thirteen years,
and is directed by determination to foster
and deVelope the resources of the Dominion
oy every means in our power consistent
win Canada's position as an integral por-
tion of the British Empire. To that end we
nave labored in the past, and we propose to
continue in the work to which we have ap-
piled ourselves, of building up on this con-
tinent, under the flag of England, great
and powerful nation.
Dealing with the policy of the Opposition,
ne says that unrestricted reciprocity would
ln MS opinion, inevitably result in the an
neXatlon OF the Dominion to the United
States, although its advocates in Canada
deny such to be the case.
SIT John continues: ITO the descendants
OF the pioneers who settled in this country.
the multitude of Englshmen, Irishmen and
Scotchmen who emigrated to Canada that
they might build up new homes without
eeaslng to be British subjects, appeal and
ask you what have you to gain by Surrender
ing mat WhIch your fathers held most dear?
Under the broad folds of the Union Jack
we ENJOY the most ample liberty to govern
ourselves as we please and at the same time
we participate in the advantages which flow
from association with the mightiest empire
the world has ever seen.
he great question which you will
shortly be called upon to determine resolves
ltse II into tniS: Shall we eudanger our pos
session OF the great heritage bequeathed to
us by our fathers and submit ourselves TO
direct taxation for the privilege of having
our tariff fixed at Washington, with the
prospect OF ultimately becoming a portion
OF the American Union? l commend these
issues to your determination and TO the judg-
nent OF the whole people OF Canada, with
the unclouded confidence that you will pro-
claim to the world your resolve to show
yourselves not unworthy of the proud dis
JUNCTION you enjoy OF being numbered among
me most dutIful and loyal subjects Of our
beloved Queen"
