Mr. Scort seconded the motion, and in so doing, eulogized Mr. Vidal very highly. â€" l 3 â€" _ Mr. Rarez responded in a happy speech, in which he urged upon them not to be diaoourq.,od, but to rest content that the reward of their efforts would come in due After some further business of a gene~ ral nature, the meeting adjourned. | ‘The report of the committee appointed to draw up rules for the government of the alliance was then presented.> Itre commended that it be called the "Dominâ€" ion Alliance," for the total suppression of the liquor traffic, the object of which shall be to centralize and direct public opinion on that question, with a view to legislative action. The composition of the council, the mode of their election, and the duties of the various officers were defined. The report was approved, and it was decided that the annual msetings of the alliance be held in the city of Uttawa within two weeks of the meeting of the Federal Parliament. i Some discussion now ensued as to the fees, and it was decided that the payment of $2 entitled the holders to membership until the annual meeting. e After some remarks from Messrs. McLean, Raper and others, the deputation retired nfter thanking the Premier for his courteous reception. |__The Prsxuis® expressed his regret that | Mr. R>s, M.P. for Middlesex, who had { been the leader of the temperance people i in the House of Commons, was not preâ€" | sent. He acknowledged his sense of the | moderation with which the subject had | been discussed by Mr. Vidal and the ! Council. Me had given the subject great | consideration since the meeting in i Montreal, and regretted that the efforts of the temperance people throughout the |country had not met with more success, ‘as was demonstrated by the incroased | consumption of ardent spirits by the people of the Dominion. If the traffic in liquor imcreased it is natural to suppose that the people are not in favour of pro h:bition. _ Alluding to the commission appointed to visit the United States to enquire into the working of prohiâ€" bitory laws in cartain of the states, he drew attention to the alleged defect in their instructions, which did not empower ltbem to inquire into the subjegqt of the consumption of bydrate of cnjonl, ab. sinthe, etc. ‘The f:ilure of the) Dunkin Act in many places where it had been adopted, was another indication of public opinion in respect to this subject. Two ways had been suggested of agcertaining the actual desire of the people on the question of prohibition. One was by & ’plebisclle, which he regarded as imposâ€" sible, and not in accordance with our institutions. _ The other was that at elections voters should give a simple " yea or pay,‘" which he thought more practiâ€". cable. No doubt the Federal Government . possessed the power to prevent the im:â€" portation of liquor, but he was not clear as to the manufacture, as it involved rights which were under the control of the Local Legislatures. â€" He was prepared to give effect to the moral sense of the community whenever it could be saown that public opinion on the subject was in favour of such legislation. e was bound to accept the evidence with regard to the possibility of effecting legislation in the premises, but certainly the increased cousumption of liquor was powerfully indicative that public opinion was opâ€" posed to a change. 80 The minutes of the previous mepting were read and approved. _ Fae At the conclusion of the interview, the members returned to the Victoria Chamâ€" bers, where the sitting was resumed. _ Shortly after 9 o‘clock yesterday mornt ing, th= Council of the Dominion Prohibi! tory League waited upon Hon.

He could e a dozen shovels as cheaply as they could be made in any coutry, or he could| ship them to British Columbia in| face of the San Francisco market,| and he spoke for all our industries and a great American firm, which u factures the enormousâ€" quantity of four hundred dozen shovels a day, when they shipped them to this Dominion are paid back the duties received on such parts, obtainining in fact a dollar E:r dozen fair profit. Hedid not care what party was in power in this country so lmfi{“ that party was true to our interests. +He comâ€" plained of the manner in which we had been treated by the United States for the last ‘fAifteen years in régard to the canals and manufactures. The highâ€"mindedness of the people across the line, which has been so often talked about, was exempliâ€" fied yesterday by the hon. member for Montreal West. He blushed for his country which had had rrilroads for 25 years, and still imported rails, locomoâ€" tives, axles, cranks, and such articles. We had in the whole. Dominion but one small logomotive eomganyâ€"thst at Kingâ€" ltonâ€"mch existed through having a sop thrown to it from time to time. Had a sound poliog been pursued, millions of dollars would have ere now been diffused t.hroufihouf. the country through this branch of industry. He did not think there should be any duty on rye, oats, wheat, and perhaps, flour, because we raise good wheat and cau compete in flour with other countries.. But in this connec: tion we |must remember that the Grand Trunk %ilvny will deliver a wfio of flour from Michigan to Montreal or Halifax as cheaply as it will from Toronto} Oshawa or Whitby. On the article o corn, he considered there should be a duty. We grow a considerable quantity in the Western country, but â€"not sufficient for the distilleries, in whose interest the duty of 10. cents per bushel was taken off. In the United States such is their love of country that they bear the imâ€" post on this article, but what is the con+ lefluenoo? In many articles they underâ€" ;ot us. If we w:uld build up this country, et us carry out our policy in‘regard to the Pacific Railway. W. h’no borrowed money from the British Government, to whom we mir!flisod for its construction. It may be built in ten or fifteen years, but let us do what we can. We had to build up this country. . Let us carry out our solemn contract in regard to the Paâ€" cific Railway. We have borrowed money on the faith of it from the British Govâ€" Hon, Mr. JONES (Leeds) resumed the adjourned debate on the motion of Hon. Mr. Mills for the appointment of a select committee to enquire into the causes of the present financ al depression. Hesaid he considered the matier a most extraâ€" ordinary one, and he did not understand why the House had been called m‘thor if the Government ever intended that such a motion should pass. ‘The discusâ€" sion should have taken place on the Bud:â€" get. Now that it had been brought on at ‘th'u time, he, as a manufacturer of 25 years‘ standing, would beg to offer a few remarks. The couutry requireia fixed policy, and not & tariff, which was con stantly chunging. In a land like this, with a comparatively scant population, cl:giuliou could not be expected to estabâ€" lish manufactures when one year the taritf may be twenty, agd the next year fifteen per cent. 1t was this incidental protection which had left the country in its present state. . He conteniled that the manufacturing, mercantile and farming interest should be blended. He repre: sented a farming constituency with 25,â€" 000 inhabitants, and though the Globe warned the representatives of farmers in the House against declaring adversely to free trade, he dec‘ared himself a protecâ€" tionist.; le stood thare to advocate a national policy, and a tamiff which would not change from year to year. He beâ€" lieved that with a proper policy we could manufacture as cheaply, and make the country as great, as the United States. The man who opposed him in his election, seeing how the wind blew, set his sails acâ€" cordingly, and declared himself a protecâ€" tionist, notwithstanding he (Mr. Jones) carried the constituency, which she Globe . declared to contain & farming population opposed . to proâ€" tection. He disputed the conclusions arrived at by the hon. member for Bothâ€" well, contending that that hon. éent.lo- men was too theatrical, and not sufficientâ€" ly practical to understand the legislation we required. France, under her policy of protection, had paid an enormous inâ€" demnity in a very short time; and the United >tates, with a highly protective tariff, was underselling the world in many articles, As had been correctly stated ‘ by the hon. member for Hamilton, she was doing so in cottons, hardware, woolâ€" lens, and in iron and steel. For the past twentyâ€"five years he had used in his own business large quantities of steel, which he had imported from England ; yet he was obliged to go to the United for a porâ€" tion of that commodity. It is an acknowâ€" ledgeod fact that great Sheffield houses cannot supply iron and steel as cheaply as Americans. In Sheffield itself, under the great free trade policy of Britain, the Americans are able to undersell. Under the bonded system of the United States, they import large quantities of iron from Norway and Sweden, at a very helvi rate of duty ; and when it is rolled into sheets, strips and bars, are very rightly manufacâ€" tured in bond, they export it to this or any other country, utilizing the labour for the benefit of the farmers and the popuâ€" lation generally. So with the drawback system regarding every article ufacâ€" tured in the United States.

Mr. BERTRAM asked if the tarif was raised 25 per cent. to morrow. would it increase the manufactures of the country, Periods of inflation and depression came as naturally as any other changes which memooud nfnl_nrly. and could not be averted by any legislation whatever, Mr, WOOD resumed the debate on Mr. Mills‘ motion, aud in doing so said he was not nrepared, like his hou. friend, the member for Kingston, to saddle the Adâ€" ministration with being the cause of the bad state of trade, but thought that an inhll.is:nt ;:.guiry might do something to solve the difficulty. He was of opinion that fihzougltunmlm their tariff to that e United States, and A prolonged discussion followed on the subject, in which Hon. Mr. Mackenzie, Mr. Speaker, Sir John A Macdonald, Mr: Mills, Mr. De Cosmos, Mr. Deviin, Hou. Dr. Tupper, Hon. Mr. Blake, Mr. Scatchâ€" erd and Mr. Irving took part, Mr. Speaker finally ruling that the resolution was in order. Mr. BUNSTER was proud of Mr. Speaker‘s decision. â€" It was in his opinion astep in the right direction. He (Mr. B.) said the Americans were floodin; his country with their produce to the rain of ghe interests of this Province. He men tioned this for the information of the. Government, iuasmuch as they had very little knowlâ€"dge of his aistrict, none of its members ever having been there,. The farmers of British Columbia suffer more than any other province by the Americans making Canada their slaughter market. He (Mr. B.) entered fuily into the consideration of manufacturing agâ€" ricultural and commercial interests of the country. It being six o‘clock the House took a " Resolved, That the early revisionâ€" of the tariff is very desirable, and that a revised tariff, discriminating to a greater deim than the existing tariff in favour of home industries and manufactures, but not unduly stimulating one section of the country or one industry against other sections and industries, would be proâ€" ductive of great benefit to the whole Dominion." Mr. SPEAKER thought the hon. genâ€" tleman had not put the amendment in a shape to be submitted. Perhaps the House would allow him to put it in such a shape as to be submitted. â€" _ Mr. Ds COSMOS, after some further remarks from Mr. Sgenker, amended his resolution, but the Speaker still thought it was not in proper shape to be presented to the House. Mr. MILLS said that the amendment, in addition to notboingiermnin, also proposed to commit the House to the principle of increased taxation. The present state of things the people of this country feel‘ is, to some extent, chargeable upon the Government. In Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and New Brunswick, the balance of trade was against these Provinces. He referred to the remarks made by the Minister of Justice about British Columbia, during a recent election in Toronto. His statement about the population was not correct, and he (De C.) gave figures to show the errors which followed from that misstatement. He is in favour of a protective tariff, but not of a prohibitory one. Every nation that has risen to any manufacturing prominence, has been at one stage under a _ protective tariff. He thinks it will be sound policy to revive the tariff and discriminate in favour of home industries. lHe asked leave to offer the following amendment :â€" . _ Mr. DeCSMOS did not believe that the Committee in question would be ?ro- ductive of much good. He, therefore, proposed to offer ian amendment to the hon. gentleman‘s moticn, with the object of obtaining the sense of the House as to whether it is in favour of protection or a revision of the tariff or free trade. In doing so he asked the indulgence of the House for a few moments, in order to make some allusions to the state of matters in British Columbia. _ As far as he .was aware, business has been in a very healthy condition during the past year. He is informed by nom&nu from all parts that it was never more so ; also that the Dominion revenue in that point never reached so high an amount, over $5,000,000 between the 1st of January and 31st of December, h1875. Their prosâ€" erity in proportion has been ater fh-n in any other section of the gmin ion, but he feared that depression would reach them during the coming year, unâ€" less the Government carry out the proâ€" mise made to British Columbia in the construction of the Pacific Railway. That Province was the only one having the balance of trade in its favour. . Its 1m portations in the fiscal year, 18745 amounted to $2,490,593 ; whilst its exports amounted to $2,824,812, without counting the products in gold. _ _ & uk patriotism by ing to submit to proâ€" tection for tho‘mt of a certain cflu. He thinks a great deal of imformation may be got from the labours ol the com mittee,. If it be olurH shown that some small protection should be afforded in order to build up large manulactures here he would not say he would be against giving them something of the kind ; but he should prefer a national policy to proâ€" tection ; was no: prepared to say it would not be the best policy. .. _ _ . _ Mr. ORTON said it was not his inten: tion to trouble the House with any reâ€" marks in this discussion, but it had been stated by some hon. gentlemen that the manufacturing and agricaltural interests of the country were opposed to each other. As representing an agricultural consti tuency, he felt it his duty to contest this idea. He did not believe that what benefits manufactures injures agriculture. Mr. DAVIES said in the Maritime Provinces they had to compete with the world Some time ago they had protecâ€" tion, when it was the policy of the Impeâ€" rial Government. At one time there was m protective duty on timber, but since then they had {nd free trade. Their products were now shut out of the United States, and it would be hard for them to live if in addition to that they had to boister up certain industries in Ontario. He was not Pmpuod to say whether the adoption of protection as a national olicy would not be good for this country. ft is not fair, however, that one class should be §mteot.od at the expense of the others ~Small manufacturers, such, he supposed, as we had in this country, can not undoubtedly very well compete with large ones. Extonsive manufacturers can groduco at very much cheaper rates. ossibly it may be good policy to afford some additional protection to some of of those industries. That would be a very good subject for a Committee to enâ€" quire into. He then referred to the generous policy of the Gorâ€" ernment of his Province in their trade relations with the United States. They had given up part of their carrying trade to the United States flag. A line of seamers is allowed to coast to Halifax and various parts of the gulf in violation of their navigation laws. Those steamers are injurious to the Government railroad through the Lower Proviaces, and monop olize to -F(mt. extent the trade that should fall to their provincial vessels. He does not agree with the hon. member for Leeds who says we should show our ernment to whom we are &lodgéd for its construction _ It may not be bult in 10, 15 or 20 years but let us do what we can. Our canals are sufficient for our free trade for the present. Let us drop unnecessary works on which we are expending large suras. It may cause an outery here and there, but the country will be the gniner. The people of British Columbia do not insist on the completion of the railroad in ten years so long as we show an earnest desire to construct it as fast as posâ€" sible. â€" Let us build that road in advance of settlement as is d one in the United States, and it will give employs ment to our men who are loitering about our streets and prosperity to every interâ€" est in the Dominion. He believes that is the true Yolicy of this country, and he would not like to say what he believes will be the consequence to this country if it is not carried out.
