Sir Richard has baulked, not. a doubt of 't ; he was brought here to say “ dtto” to Mr. Blake, and though that would not have amounted to much, he refuseé to do even that little. FOOLIBH NATIONAL POLICY had cut off the foreign trade of the Mari- time Provinces, while our manufacturers of Ontario and Quebec hed interfered with their domestic trade. He saw no chance of bringing more favorable con- ditions to the Maritime Pravinces than by having freer commercial relations with the United States. If they now at- tempted to get this boon for the provinces they would find themselves restricted by the enormous increase of the ex- penditure. We now required to raise twentytwo and one half millions by cus- toms, against reventeen and a. half in the time M Mr. Mackenzie. This state of things would prove a serious barrier in the way of those who desire to cultivate more free relations with the U vited States.

He de- iended the financial policy of the Mac kenzie Government and reiterated his con- demnation of the! of Sir John Mnaionald. He denied that the expression, “ F y on the wheel," originated with him. and said that it. was first used by Sir John. He Mid he would like to see the 300,000 souls which had been added to the population, as asserted by the operation of the Nation- al Policy. The Ontario municipal statis- tics showed that the increase in many towns and localities had been below the normal average. He denied that the pre- sent clieepness of sugar was owing to the operanion of the National Pol cy, but can- tended that it was owinf to the large- pro- duction all over the wor d.
