meael British manulacturer can offer? And suppose the Yankees did drive Canadian manufactures out o( the field â€"which is a very improbable thing indoedâ€"and supâ€" paothoytri-du'ringoutofuuunny are supposed to have sacrificed in carryâ€" ing out their scheme, where would onr Mr. Wood must suppose the public to be yery innocent indeed, if he expects them to sccept this statement as gospel. Is he not the same gentleman who tells us that protection has enâ€" abled the Americans to prouuce & better article at a cheaper rate in _a great many lines than the 7C ine Lanadian market, in order to kill out our "native industries," at which period, be asserted, they would be masters of the situation, and would accordingly make up in extortionate prices what they had lost in gaining controi of the situation. It would be impossible to take up and discuss the numerous fallacies which fell from the lips of the advorates of protection in one article, even if the game were worth the candle. We give one specimen. If we remember rightly, Mr. Wood, of Hamilton, was the gentleman who contended that the Americans were underselling the Canadian manufacturers on the Canadian market, in order to hu} Out Our "native iIndustring"® opr sile Mr. Jones‘s own words, " what did the hon. gentlieman s2y?" Why, he just saidâ€" "wait a little." And so be would toâ€" morrow were he still in power, and the same course was urged upon him. " Wait a little" has been the policy of the right han.momborforKing-mauhi-flfo,nnd in regard to everything which would permit of such treatment. Another gentleman â€" Mr. Jones, of Leeds and Grenvilleâ€"in a very calm and dispassionate speech, gave his political leader a â€" very _ sly dig in the ribs. ~Ha told of an oecuion,‘ at the time| that the Parliament of the Province of Canada met in Quebec, and Just after the abrogation of the old Reciprocity Treaty, when he went to Sir John Macdonald and told him this was a podfimtopnpuo-wifl'whicbmld build up our industriesâ€"meaning, of Sourse, a protective tariff. And tn n«. @ power for the purpose of defence or * attack, it becomes absolutely necessary " that we should protect our people and " look to the national welfare." What ever connection the protection of the people which is‘afforc ed by "a national or central power for the purpose of defence and attack " has with the soâ€"called proâ€" tection of manufacturers it will take very clear sighted people to detect, we are rather afraid ; but our logical friend from West Yorkâ€"who declares that it requires considerable courage for a man to avow himself a protectionistâ€"draws from it the extrmordinary, and to â€" his mind, unanswerable conclusion tdat * we " have looked to the melfare of the ‘‘ nation when we have guarded all its " different interests." Why does Mr. Blain not propose that we should employ our volunteer militia in guarding our dif. ferent interests by lining the American frontier, and with sword in hand daring the ‘Yankees to sell their cheap goods to the people of Canada. That, at any rate, would be a practical way of connecting our national defences and powers of atâ€" tack with,the protection of our native industries. Unless the hon. gentleman has some such intention, we fail to unâ€" derstand what te would be at. j sort of rhodomontade which proâ€" tectionists call argument " If we desire" _ said _ the same authority, "to have a national or central. their har could sca were had bave laid enter into a discussion of the respective merits of free trade and protection.

At the same time that this heuvy drain was made upon the revenues of the country, the whole commercial system was deranged.

But the Hiegg 4o ul L00m . fefe s m ie | constitutes Mr. Mackenzio‘s strongest claim to the confidence and support of that portion ‘of the Dominion, which feeds | the _ treasury _ and upholds the public credit. ‘ He has dared to disregard clap trap, ‘and"to give pre cedence to great public interests, orer the paltry pretensions of a remote and inconâ€" .idenbi section. The Macdonaldâ€"Allan bargain was inexcusable, looked at from: any point of view. It was disgraceful in respect of principle, and dangerous in respect of expediancy. ~Had it Tnu into elffect on the eve of the great co lapse of 1873, it would have entailed ruinous embarrassment upon the Dominion. The enterprise itself would come to grie:‘, and the Canad il:xufioopb would have found themselves dled with guarantees and liabilities, which no prudent man looking d* the matter in the light of present events, can now fiicnuy contemplate. The Mackensioe Ministry grappled with the difficulty, and the common sense of ‘ thel lLoghul::;re sustains t.l:omfi inhtho tion now occupy. ‘They have gg‘mgo enough to doozu that the promises made by their predecessors were rash, and in present:circumstances im racticable, thut the country ought not to to required to load itself down with debt, for pur which at this moment are simply &uuouoâ€".nd that British Columâ€" bia must submit to such new arrangeâ€" ments as are dictated by nooeui‘ty.

But the public exâ€" penditure is to be adapted to the altered state of affairs. We find in the Speech no indication of the increase of the Tariff, which the newspaper opponents of the Government have profeium regard as a certainty.
