OTTAWA. April THE Canadian Parliament
IL still discussing the tariff measure brought
down by the Government It IL probable that
vote will be taken in the middle OF next week
As told ron In my last article. II will be .
strict party vote. although there IL great dis
| satisfaction among the followers OF the ad-
ministration. Deputations after Populations
are pouring into Ottawa. may confidently
predict that before the new tariff becomes Law
many change will be introduced into II. The
manufacturers loudly protest against the re-
duction OF the duties which have protected
them since 1879. Some OF them say they will
be obliged to close up their business. Yet our
tariff remains one Of the highest in the world.
The consuming classes in Canada have fully
made up their mind not to be ignored any
longer. and the opposition have resolved to
back their claim to freer trade. Labor is
cheap In Canada Our manufacturers have
enjoyed sione period OF protective policy and
they should be prepared to- day to face COM
petition.
The Government has tried to raise once
more the cry OF disloyslty against those who
want to free the Canadian people from the
tyranny Of monopolists But I am glad to say
that this silly argument has been treated with
disgust and contempt by public opinion. There
Is to-day an irresistible desire for reciprocity
between the United States and Canada
The Tory party contends that It 10 i'm possible
for US to negotiate treaty of commercial
smity between the two nations that Am erioan
statesmen entertain feelings Of hostility to-
ward us: that they have refused on many oo-
oasions to enter into fair agreement with the
Dominion. As Q matter OF fact, the party in
power In our country have never acted In good
faith In the negotiations which took place be-
tween the Two dovernments'durine the last
three or four yeara They are In the hands Of
