Tilley did not As sir John a. Manky old is reported to have said announce that in 1878 he would Intro Duce a Bill to give Protection to Canadian industries. In the session of 1872 or. Tilley was not finance minister sir Francis Lincks held that Ohice and was far too sensible a Man to repeat in any form or manner the humiliating in Tionel policy experience of 1870-1. It was sir John a. Macdonald who in 1s72, not in parliament but in certain hustings speeches notably at Hamilton declared that if returned to Power the j policy of i government would be to incidental Protection to Home in this was pretty vague but on the strength of it two a owed supporters of the Over Anent of the Day were elected Lor Hamilton. While however Wir John a.

In every Branch of Tho agricultural Community you see they Are rising Superior to the temporary disadvantage caused Liy the los of the United states it is Clear from this then that in while throwing out some prospects of giving increased Protection to manufacturers. a. Macdonald scouted the idea of Protection to . How far his platform promises to the former were sincere we shall soon sir win a. Macdonald has the Hardi Hood to say that but for the change of in is7- 5 or. Tilley would the measure above alluded to. Xou in 1873 or. Tilley had As Good excuse As Ever tiny minister had for revising the Tariro. His first estimate of expenditure Tor amounted to s 3 against an estimated Revenue of leaving a balance in favor of but or. Tilley and i colleague at once proceeded to sex Linguish this surplus and establish a deficit by making enormous supplementary ii a lotions to the expenditure. Instead of a prospective surplus the f von on Tilley s very Esti mate of an income of follows at the end of the first estimate As by statutes passed Shirli if the speech from Tho throne of my scheme of Tariff revision or adjustment. But. If the interests of the country really needed in sir John Mae Lonald s opinion such a revision in the protectionist sense his duties did not cease with his expulsion from office. Not Only however a John a. Mac Donald silent but or. s proposal to increase the duty on manufactured goods from to per cent to per cent was bitterly availed by or. Upper the spokesman of the conserva Tive party on All financial subjects. Well enough d or. Topper Don t meddle with the Tariff and Dis arrange the of the coun and this from one of the very Abingt who if any Trust could be placed in sir John a. Macdonald s statement at Brantford would had they remained in office have proposed to parliament the very increase of duties on manufactured goods effected by or f Artwright Xay More than this or. Upper actually denounced the modest additional 2 % per cent a1 Tho insertion of the thin end of the protectionist and referring to the proposal of the finance minister to put a Small duty on certain manufactured articles used in ship building he said let the Hon.

Up some reference made by or.

Speaker they would have been proposing a protective Tariff or incubating a National policy f there Are any Birds in Brant Ford to be caught with such chaff As that to pity them. People wit i a Ginin of sense will have no difficulty a arriving at Tho con delusion that sir John s pledges in 1872, his protectionist resolutions of 1s70, 1877 and 1878, and Tho stories he tells of what might or would have been if to had not been sent about his business by the country in 1873, were All equally Fallaci Ous equally hollow equally untrue and All alike meant to serve Ore dishonest purpose the Begu Lemont and the fooling of the people.
