A O... LINDSAY, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 201b, I902. E. GREGORY, Corner Drug Store, Lindsay 30: A POUND Drug Store PRUDENT The Imperial Government did not take kindly to the proposel. and Ir. Chamberlain frankly expleinl the mwhy. Hemehehuhddexâ€" perienoe of "the Canadian preter- enoe," of 1897 end adds thst” the ‘time which has elapsed has been “sufficient to enhble us to (arm a “judgment of the enact of an n- "rangement of this kind, and I have "to “y to you that while I cannot “but gratefully acknowledge the in~ "tention 01 this proposal and in “good-will and anectlon, yet that its “sentimental value as a. proof o! “euhetantial results have been :1- ‘fidhmppointing to its promoters. After this generel criticiem o! the adult, the Colonial Secretary pointed out that he had had the system thoroughly inveetlgeted by the Board of Trade and had found that under the Canadian “preterm.” to Britieu Ionian tradeâ€"imports end exportsâ€" Rte 01 duty on coloninl products now taxable. New Zedand pressed the point. and the Canadian represâ€" entative dun-wads took it. up. had increased 69 per cent.. while the total increase of British tradeâ€"whim is so generously preferredâ€"was only 48 per cent. Again, Hr. Chamberâ€" lain maintained : “Foreign produce at the present time in Canada has still a lower average tarifl than British pro- duce, no (10th due to the [act that the foreign produce is, as I have said. as a rule. of a charac- ter upon which lower duties are ordinarily levied ; but the result is that while foreign imports have largely increased the British ini- Dorts htWe largely den-eased." What return asks Hr. Cnanflwerlain, has been made to the Canadians by the foreigner for tlfi advantage which the foreigner has derived from their tarin ? The “disappointing and dis- “couraging experience" with the Canadian “preference” leads Mr. Chamberlain to declare that “we can- “not bargain with you for it." “We "cannot pay for it unless you go “much further and enable us to enter “your home market on terms of “greater equality.” ' The declaration that the “British preference" is an immature was aplomattally and courteously oflered. But it was a terrific exposure all the same. Dur- ing the remainder of the eonierence Sir 'ltrid Laurbr. aided by his colâ€" m3 who were with him in Lon- don. were engaged in the“ presenta- tion of memoranda o! a defend“ or explanatory character. One oi the numerous documents amerts that the-preference is no tvery huge be- cause the “manufacturers. naturally ,‘W share of fluent .nnrketf' ed Kingdom. And although no proposal came to us irom Canada I am of course aware that similar questions have been recently speeâ€" hlly discussed very actively and very intelligently in the Domin- ion, and that a strong opinion . prevails there that the time is ripe for something 0! this kind." The principal New Zeoland prop- osition referred to was a motion pre- mted for the acceptance of the con- fer-ace to the enact that a. preter- enoe should be given by the colonies to the Mother 'Country. and that the lather Country should concede a. re- the Canadian delegates. It has been represented that Sir Wiflrid Lsurier became sufficiently active to propose that Britain accord to Canadian pro- ducts a. preference in the British mar- ket. But this is a mistake. Hr. Chamberlain corrects- it in anticipa- tioninaspeechdeliveredtotheconâ€" Ierenoe. He says : “Three proposals have been made for the consideratiOn of the pres- ent conference. also on the initial- tive 01 New Zealnml. The first and most important one is that a. preferential tariff should be ar- ranged in fu’vor of British goods which are now taxable in the res- pective colonies and in the Unit- 'nm omciai report of the coronaâ€" tion conlerence throws a new light upon the proceedings of that interesâ€" ting gathering. It indicates. 'in the first pace, that in so far an Canada. is concerned :1on at nil was done.

The following com- ment on it by the Mail and Empire give some idea of its content; : He Wants Something Substant- ial Before Granting Cenada Any Concession DISAPPOINTED ITS FRIENDS fle Told Conference of Premiers That it Was Worth Little to Britain MR CHAMBERLAIN DOES NOT , VALUE THE PREFERENCE MUCH ' turnoiprelerencetous. thereplyto which Ir. Chamberlain already had given, and threatens the withdrawal The proceedings are not inspiring. ol the preference we have conceded. The proceedings are not inspiring. Apparently the Imperial Government with its eyes open to the character 0‘ the Canadian representatives as exhibited by their former dealings with this matter, was quite indispos- ed to deal with them. ' COLONIES AND DEFENCE_ But a story of equal interest is re- lated on the subject of defence. Here again, New Zealand was to the (rented resolutions looking to the front. The premier of that colony Iormation o! a small reserve force, and to the participation of the over- the-sea dominions in the support of ' the navy. Mr. Chamberlain regard- ed the matter as worthy o! consido oration. He cited Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier.s declaration when in England in f 1897 : “I! you want our aid call us "to your councils" and said : ”Gentlemen, we do want your aid. We do require your assis- tance in the administration of the great Empire, which is yours as well as ours. The weary Titan staggers under the too Vast orb of his fate. We have home the burden for many years. We think it is time that our children should assist us to support it, and when- ever you make the request to us be very sure that we will hasten gluily to call you to our coun- 1 cm I! Then he dacribed the various mod- 1 es by which the call to council might] be enacted, and pointed out that the 1 conlerence then being held was a council qualified to deal with the: quation raised by New Zealand, that: l of delence. For defence purposes the‘: United Kingdom. he declared, paid 29s. 8d. perheadperannum. whilefc Canada paid two shillings and the' : other dominions of his Majesty rath-‘ 1 er more This was not a fair dis-f tri‘bution oi the mrdcns of Empire. When the colonies were young and pour. it was perfectly right and nat- ural that that the Mother Country should unartake the protection oi1 her children. "But now that the "colonies are rich and powerful it t “is inconsistent with their position- I ‘inconsistcnt with their dignity as t “nationsâ€"that they should leave the. "lather Country to bear the whole‘ “or almost the whole of the ex- ‘1 “peace. ' No burden {or the exclusâ€" ‘1 were the colonies desired to shoulder, P ive advantage of the Mother Country- N It was only on behall of the trade of ‘1 the Empire at large that participa-i‘i tion in W defence was sugges~ n ted. Lord Selbornc presented an arâ€" d gument {or united deienoe on the sea, i1 based upon the importance of the ‘ navy {or the protection of commerce" and the cost which the colonies ‘5 would have to sustain were they na- P tions with a separate existence inâ€"‘ stead of partner nations of the Brit- 0 fish Empire.
