I cannot now return to Ottawa and meet the leaders of the Government ,who inspired those articles. Much can be forgiven, but shall I 20 back` to Ottawa to my malianers like `a whipped spaniel. (A voice-Never) "V That's ex- actly what I thought, and ,I am ' here to get your verdict. Dealing with. the trade question he :crit.iciz,-id the tariff inequali-_ ties severely. It was notinnw aoplicable to our requirements. There were at the inception ofthe N. P. certain "infant in`- dustries that required V nursing. Now, those industries have passed the infantile V stage and are developed. The present condition of the tariff was not a tariff for revenue purposes. It is a tariff designed` to prevent importations. He proceeded to illustrate by examples how inapplicable the tariff is, and showed how manqface turers increased their prices to bring them within vision of prices of imported goods, with the freight and duties added. and he continued,` if I go back to Parliament, I intend to talk from the Ii )9!` of the House exactly as I .have talked here `today . I don't care if the Government nail the N.P. ag to the masthead. [am going to raise my voice in the interest of the. people . I don't stand here to condemn the N .P. It is undeniable that tariff is _bm-densome. In 1874 it was l2v.per. cent{,' in 1879 1'4}. then 35, and in 's_o_mef instances now 100-per cent. I think it is time -"? 1ll(' to manufacturers, as they have been pro- tected all along. F'arinere_ have to con":-.l pete with all the world without protection; Manufacturers should` be .prenared,even now to run alone and saline manufacturers have 'org'anlzede combination. It is an evil copied from the United" 'Sta,tes", where they have a `trust in whiskeyeveii. Combines must be looked after aiid some- _ thing must be done to have burdensome features removed. I believe the timehae, arrived - for a` `complete revision of the Customs law; It should be simplified and equalized. end that polioyl will adopt on the floor of the House.

He was not afraid of `public opinion _ and believed an honestscause would be re- warded, although, perhaps. his majority mieht be slightly reduced. It would be impossible to get arithmetical calculations. People understood what representation by population meant, and it was possible to have the constituencies more fairly re- districted. With the determination to prevent the perpetratidn of a -wrong he moved against the measure. If you want a representative, he said warmly, who will jump at every crack of the whip you must act another representa- tive. In fact I don't know that you will want. any representative at all. - We -are not to be labelled, as` belonging to one. party or another and . that is another occasion when I wobbled. You have read the articles. They were not written. wuhlhonest motives. not with_any desire, to bring me back into line. But such insult and indecency do not prevent me indulging in some jocular remarks at the expense of the Empire. The speaker the!) treated the matter in a serious vein.- The Empire, said he, is the organ cf the Conservative party. If in `a moment of- `insanity the article has been written I was content to wait for Then came Edward Blake's famousl letter. in which he said he could not sup- port any policy that tended to separate -the colonies from the mother country,` "an- nexation being out of the question, for the- leaders of both parties oppose the idea. There is still a-trade policy to be considered. ` The N. P.` was not a in- T alienable plank in the Conservative party. Helooked upon the trade policy not as a barrier between the Tory and Grit parties. He was not bornga protectionist and re- fused to consider himself as such. In opposing the Government he was getting into hot water all around. The question of dual language was a live question and` if ' he dropped it some one else would take it up. He did not propose to drop it (Oheers.) .He said he would not have called any convention but for an attack . thatwas -made on-him in the Empire. He was accused of wobbling. hispolitical course had been so uncertain. He who had been a good member of the party had seceded. .He would characterize` the article as it should- be characterized. But he had wobbledwith the consent of his constituents. `(A Voice-'-Wobble away A) He first wobbled in voting against the Jesuit bill. (Laughton) and again in op~ posing dual language and itwould be for his constituents tosay whether he would have achance to wobble again. (You'll get the chance.) They say a member generally gets knifed by his constituents and generally by those of his constituents whom he has helped most. He reviewed the stand he took in the redistribution of seats. He did not think it was fair or proper to .`.._u ' .'n_';jrqUnsr1oN or runs, - o:%%shae sucks li`e?`:hs ?if!e3f_,."v"'ie0.V"`:. :s:;. country} Had .;6rb_sp`eted:ie3o;e;dinly~. vie? under f;!s -revenue ta`n`:` untjI?gl8ZB}i Eihli ._ thef.:'A7II9sri I'3II1Ai ..ar: over ind?` : the industries getting into shape again` made a slaughter market. `of Qapada for their goods.
