In what then did he fail to do his duty to the country which for many years he has so ably served? We find that with all possible energy he first sought to obtain a renewal of the Reciâ€" procity Treaty, and that it was not his fault that that treaty was not once again put in force. He tried to have all purely and made the subject of a separate treaty. This arrangement could not be made, and then it was that the idea of a pecuniary remuneration to Canada was for the first time spoken of, Now sup. posing at this stage of the proceedings &'Johnlndo-ldhdnuduhiop- ponents say he ought to have acted.

We have previously alluded on more than one occasion to the advan â€" tage which we are likely to Iderive from Article 30, which gives to Canadian shipâ€" pers equal rights with United States citiâ€" zens in carrying grain, &o., between American ports. The sure result of this t will be to place the greater mmu trade of the lakes in the hands of the Canadian shippers. Even in the old time, previous to the terâ€" mination of the Reciprocity Treaty, pre« vious indeed to the war, when Canadians were allowed the same privilege, but Amerâ€" 1cans were able to compete with them on far more favourable terms than they now fau do, a large portion of the carrying trade fell into our hands." This article o! the Treaty is one which has not received suflicient attention, and when, together withtho.dmh‘uwhichheonh-npqn tion free..ccess to the American markets forthopmdnohofou:bhui., and half a million of dollars annuaily by the Impeâ€" rial guarantee, we cannot see that the people of this country have much reason to complain of the Treaty. The man who votes against it proves how lightly he | strained every nerve in defence of her inâ€" terests. We do not imagine that Mr. Mackenszie, Mr. Blake, or any other mem:â€" ber of the Opposition for one moment doubt this. We believe sincerely that at the vrery time when they are attacking Sir John Macdonald wi h so much rancour and are endeavouring to raise hostility against him, they are firmly convinced that he did the very best he could under the circumstances. ‘But although the Treaty may not, as we said before, be all we could have desired it to be, we are confident that it contains many provisions from which we may derive very important advantages. The clause which provides for the continuance of the bonding system is in itself a great boon to our commercial men; a fact which will become the more apparent when we bear in mind the exâ€" citement which was occasioned not long ago when the Americans threatened to prevent _ the _ passage of _ goods in . bond to Canada through the us to accept it, with all its shortâ€" ’euninp. Bo far as the Premier is conâ€" cerned, we know that he accepted the position of Commissioner solély with a view to the intereats of Canada, and with a full knowledge of the use which his un. make of anything connected with the Washington negotiations which did not in all respects meet the views of the peoâ€" ple of this country. We have every reaâ€" son to beliere that he did the bert he _ could for Canada; that â€" he Republic.

Those who knew best, no mattor what might be saii here about it, appreciated that privilege, that feature of reciprocity at its true value We heard no complaint from .them ; we only. heard complaint from _ horourable â€" gentiemen â€" who came from the western part of the Dominion, from the le der of the o'ppo.ition in this House, and the leader of the Government in another House, from another leader outside of the Honse and from some of the followors of these gentliemen. ‘They had gone about the country it seemed upon one of those itene:ant journeys they were occasionally so {fond of, (laughter,) endeavoring to agitate and alirm the country with some «tory of evil omen,some sinister statement, that a great surrender was to be made of our fisheries which was to canse widespread injury to the whole country and c#=pecially to the people of the ‘Maritime Provinees, (cheers. ) But the people who were most interested in this matter, the pe »ple (who were nfim the spot, those who were enâ€"~ gage d the tishing business and who knew beiter than hon; gentlemen from Ontario could tell them what was to their ady intage or duadnnhio, were -v-:ry well satisfied with the treaty, (bear, h=.r ) He {o:n:i with regard to Newfoundland, isSctlissions or consequences amongst our neighbours. The principle of rociflmity was then recognised in the Treaty, by conâ€" ceding to Canadians the right to fish on the American coast. 7 Mr. YOUNG (ironically)â€"Hear, hear. Hon. Mr. MACDOUGALLâ€"It was said that that was no advantage. Well, opins ions differed upon that point. He had learned from some who were better inâ€" formed upon the subject, than the hon. member for Waterloo could be, that it was a great advantage ; and in the course of his speech the Minister of Justice had shown very clearly that it wa« an imâ€" portant object to gain that Cana» dian fishermen should hbave full ada P advantages. This was a Reciproâ€" city Treaty (hear, hear). As he kad read it in the first place, and subsequent examinâ€" ation only confirmed that view, the prinâ€" ciple of Reciprocity ran _t.hzougfl the whole T V xt oi "op unds cb ie M was found to be doing gnod in many different ways.

So, too, under this Treaty be believed the same . advantages Would â€" be gained, the same results would be found to follow. Looking at the matter therefore as a question of advantage or disadvantage, he was convinced that good would come ous of the Treaty, and he had heard no sufficient reasons adyanced in this House to show that there was my‘ t uuu’z likely to arise from the privi« m which it conceded to the people of‘ the United States (hear, hear). But Can. repeal. It was found, too, that the people of Prince Edward Isiand also oxq‘ononeod the great advantages of the reaty in respect to the trade in coarse grains with the United States, which was largely inâ€" creased by. the permission granted to Americans to hndlupon th;lom-t for fishing p .

EOE ic w L as time went on, and the result of the opcration of the Treaty was _ seen, what was the conse. quence? Why, the people of Nova Scotia and the other Provinces found that the Treaty, while it yielded a right, conferred corresponding advantages ; a great trade which they had never snt}oi_pst.od ?rnng up in consequence of the admission of Ameâ€" rican fishermen ; and instead of the ruin they feared coming to pass they gained so much in every respect that they desired a continuance of the Treaty rather than its gress that had been made in to this matter. He was not one of even when he had had the honor of â€"a seat | upon the other side of the House, who had taken so strong a view of the fishery rights of Canada, as some of his hon. friends on both sides of the House. Be had never been confident that the right to exclude the fishermen of other coun: tries from the privilege of fisning within the three mile limit ‘of our coasts was a wtwhiolgumn important to mainâ€" for the sake of any advantage that‘ we derived from it. He had heard no arguments, either in the House or elseâ€". whereâ€"nothing had been put forward in all the discussions that had taken place â€"â€"to satisfy him that the fishermen of the fishing colonies would catch more fish, . would make more money, would be better off, would be improved in any of their material . circumstances by excluding foreign fishermen from our waters. If it could be shown that any serious deâ€" triment would be done to their interests, he confessed there would be some reason why we should make a more rigorous barâ€" and to fish in our waters When that Treaty was negotiated there was a great outery Ap'uut it in .the Maritime Proâ€" vinces. ‘The people there said their inâ€" terests were seriously menaced by the Treaty, and that if it were ratified irreparâ€" able injury would be done to them. %ut fnin, why we should cling more tenaciousâ€" y to those rights than we had done. â€" He had not, however, taken that view. He had not beer able to convince himselfâ€" and he had examined the subject with a good deal of care at a time when he was responsible for dealing with it as a mem« ber of the Governmentâ€"that the advanâ€" tage which flowed from exclusive rights over the fishing grounds was serious and substantial in nature (hear, hear).
