Manchester, Ems. June II. - The
premier of Canada. Hon. Wilfred Laur-
ier, who, with the other visiting prem
iers, came here yesterday by way of the
Manchester ship canal, replying to the
toast of our Colonies" said: "The
colonies are desirous of closer com
mercial union with Great Britain. but
they are not inclined TO abandon free
trade, which has so prospered Great
Britain that Canada has endeavored TO
open the door to closer cor mercial re-
lations between Great lri in end her
colonies, being animated thereto by
gratitude tn the country which has been
a sort OF mother 20 them and by business
instincts. Canada will be able TO send
many Of her products 10 England, and
IT Australia follows suit. who can doubt
that the trade OF Great Britain and her
colonies will increase? Let there be free
trade for Canada and free trade for
Great Britain, but let there also be COM
mercial union all round"
