POLITICSIN CANADA
iii The Reciprocity Issue.
By Frederic j. Haskin.

In this campaign. the liberals espous-
ing the cause OF reciprocity and the con-
servatives opposing It, the historic condI-
tons of both of the great Canadian par
ties are very much mixed. Until with
in the last year or two both parties in
Canada always have advocated reel
procity with the United States, the only
difference between them on this issue be-
ing the measure of reciprocal tariff con-
cessions deemed advisable.
The present reciprocity agreement gives
Canadian natural products free entry
into the United States. The tariff re-
auctions in respect to manufactured
wares are few and comparatively unim-
portant. In times past the conservative
party advocated reciprocity limited to
natural products. and the liberals advo-
tically free trade between the two
countries In all commodities.
Now the liberal party has negotiated a
reciprocity agreement affecting prac-
tically only natural products, thus usurp-
ing the ancient position of the conserVa-
tives. while the conservatives have re-
treated to a position of absolute hos
tfIity to any kind of American reciproc-
ity whatsoever
1t is not surprising, therefore. that the
present political situation as regards the
chief issue of the campaign is some
what confused. Conservative states
men who have for twenty years raised
their voices in favor of reciprocity in
natural products now are compelled by
the exigencies of party. loyalty to argue
against reciprocity: while liberal states
men who formerly were wont to de-
nounce a reciprocity limited to natural
products as fraud and a delusion now
are compelled to justify just such pact
because it is of their own making.

Canadians Long Sought
Pact With Washington.

bringing about the federation of the
British North American provinces which.
in 1857, resulted in the formation of the
Dominion of Canada under it's present
form of government. Almost Immediately
after the new Dominion was organized.
and as soon as the question of tariff was
taken up, the great conservative leader
and prime minister, Sir John A. Macdon-
aid, Incorporated into his tariff policy
standing offer to the United States of
reciprocity in natural products. During
the brief liberal ministry under Macken-
zie this offer was extended and pressed
upon Washington by Canadian delega-
tons. When Sir John returned to power
the conservative offer of reciprocity was
re-enacted into law and, as a matter of
fact has stood upon the statute books of
Canada nearly ever since the Dominion
was organized. But there was never a
time when the powers at Washington
were willing to listen to the Canadian
plea Perhaps the nearest approach to
an agreement was In 1892, at the end
of the Harrison administration. when a
delegation of prominent conservatives
representing the conservative ministry at
Ottawa went to Washington to ask for
