¢ HISTORY OF CONSERVATIVE AND OTHER EFFORTS T0 OBTAIN RECIPROCITY A correspondent writes to the Win. i Free Press : TP an you tell how many different pilgrimages have been made tg Wash- ington (ooth conservative and liber- al), asking for reciprocity; the per- sons who made them, and the differ. ent years. Is it true that Sir Charles Tupper at one time offered induce ment to Washington by throwing in the Canadian fisheries 7" The chronological record of the journeyings to Washington of Cans dian public men to secure, pos sible, the enactment of 4 reciprocity measure is given below; also the par- liamentary overtures with the same end in view : i 1865, A, T. Galt, (Con.) visited Washington unofficially, and subse quently he and W. P. Howland went on an official mission, to secure, if possible, an extension of the recipro- city treaty, which had been dencun- cod by the United States. It was in this year that the Canadian govern- ment appealed to the home govern. ment to use its influence at.' Wash: ington "'to avert what would 'be re garded as a great calamity." . . 1868. A standing offer of recipro- city on the lines of the 1854 treaty, was incorporated in the first tariff pagsed by the Domdnion parlia- | ment, . 1869. Sir John Rose, (Con) fin- ance minister of Canada, went to Washington and tried unsuccessfully, to negotiate a reciprocity treaty. 1870. Canadian tariff amended, but standing offer of reciprocity retained. 1871. Sir J, A. Macdonald, (Con.) on the occasion of the drafting of the Washington treaty, sought, unavail- ingly, to reopen the question of reci- procity. : 1874. George Brown, (Lib.) went to Washington and negotiated a treaty in natural products and in a selected list of manufactures. Treaty rejected by the United States senate. 1879. Btanding offer of reciprocity incorporated in the Natiomal Policy (Con.) tariff. By this the Canadian government took power tg take off the duties on United States products by order-in-couneil in the event of the United States congress doing like- wise. 1888. Sir Charles Tupper, (Con.) went to Washington commissioned to negotiate a reciprotity arrangement approaching as nearly as possible that of 1854. As a consideration Sir Charles offered all privileges enjoyed under the fishery articles of the 'Tre aly of Washington. This would have opened the Canadian fishing waters to United States fishermen. 189]. Sir Charles Tupper, Sir John Thompson and Hon. George E. Fos ter (Con.) twice visited Washington. They made what Sir Charles describ od an 'an unrestricted offer of reci- procity." 1893. Unofficial overtures.

It shows clear- ly enough that over a long period of years Capada was keen and the Ugi- ted States was reluctant, to enter in- to an arrangement for the inter change of natural products. The Uni- ted States' position, which was stated repeatedly was that the proposed in- terchange would operate almost wholly in the interests of Canada; they, there fore, demanded, as compensation, the access to the Canadian market for United States manufactures. This was the rock upon which practically all these negotiations split. Edward Pirritt, in his book, "Sixty Years Of Protection In Canada," published as recently as 1908, said: "The Ameri can position has undergone no change THE DANY JraTisn WHIG, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST .
