He began by offering the older members some advice, telling. them that they ought to stop mudslinging and get down to business, that they ought to dis- cuss measures and not men, that the `pro- ceedings of the House ought to be conducted in a more dignied manner.'(Laughter.).. Then he proceeded to set forth his own poli- tical position and the reasons which had led him to take his seat on the Government side- He said that measures which had suited the country well enough ten years ago might be ofno use now. The country was growing apace and itbehcoved men to keep up with it. On the question of the tariff he still held theiposition on which he had `appealed to the electors of_ North Simcoe. (Hear, hear.) He was in favour of such a tariff as would relieve the consumer, and especially. the agricultural class, from the burden of taxa- tion imposed by excessive protection, He wanted` preference given to the Mother` Land `and to such countries as were willing -to enter into fair trade relation. When resolutions embodying theseprinciples had, been introduced in the House the Liberals had supported them and the Conservatives had ' voted against them. There was no- doubt that the present Governmenthad adopted a -policy which agreed with his own trade ; view. - (Applause) There might be some doubt as to "whether that promise had been vigorously car- ried. out. _For his own part, `he did not think that complete free trade was feasible V at present, and he was therefore not inclined to complain, though he did think the coun- try- could stand a wee bit freer trade. (Hear- 'hear,) `So far as concerned preferential trade he was an ultra, believing it to be of ` the utmost importance, not only as` helping to render Uanada independent of her great `southern neighbor, but as tending to bind this country more closely to the Mother Land.

The United States imposes a. high dutv on rened nickel, but allows nickel ore or nickel matte to enter free. The result is that al-t though Canada has the only nickel mines in America. and the only easily accessible mines i_n the world, the prot goes ehiev to the United States. The Dominion Parliament authorized the Government to place an ex- port duty on `refined -nickel which would make it necessary to do the refining. in Canada, but although the `Government was assured "that twenty -million dollars would be invested in the establishment of great nickel works in Canada bya company of well known capitalists" organized forthe pur- pose if the export duties were imposed noth- ing has been done about it. ` ' 1171, `L.
