Y to View the Tariff sir William Mulock Speaks to Hamilton Tion against the states a foolish is a High prohibitory Tariff or a moderately just Jingo will have an influence. Hamilton dec. William my lock addressed a meeting of the Liberal club Here to night. Referring to the Tariff said in what spirit then should approach a consideration of Tariff changes our political opponents in their desire to obtain office at whatever Cost forgetting How disturbing it is to Trade that the Tariff should a political Issue constantly seek to make it a political football Liy nearly six million dollars Worth or Gold and Silver of which imported Over six million dollars or the effects of settlers who brought in nearly four million dollars Worth and Many other articles admitted free because it is to the interest of the people of Canada to have them yet find some advocates of retaliation hurling at the Canadian people figures j showing the total importations from the United states thereby seeking to create the impression that these figures represent so much Trade sir William Mulock postmaster general of Canada who spoke on the at Hamilton last night. Representing the Liberal party As a free Trade party hoping thereby to create alarm in financial and business circles. There is no Issue of free Trade against Protection in Canada. The Only question is Between a High prohibitory Tariff and a moderately just Tariff. Should repeal the British preference and establish a Tariff similar to that of the United states should for the Sake of retaliating against the United slates impose a High duty on Many things that in our own interest admit free from the United states retaliation cry. What would gain for example by imposing a duty on american hard Coal of which imported last year Over seven million dollars Worth or raw Cotton of which import lost to Canada because of the alleged unwise fiscal policy. Again i ask should in a Jingo spirit establish a High Tariff against the Mother country repeal the Brit ish preference without regard to con sequences to our Trade thereby forfeiting our hold upon the Good will of the people of great Britain the Best almost the Only customer of the Canadian Farmers and in injuring the Canadian Farmers injure All other classes in the country As Well no or. Chairman i think i May safely say that the government will not approach a. Consideration of the Tariff in any such spirit but rather As did in 1897, in a Calm and rational spirit with an Earnest sire to just to All classes and to promote the Best interests of can to Day Twenty years ago hems taken from the free press of this Ditt js82.
