The day‘s debate, reâ€" plete with interest throughout, openâ€" ed with the somewhat sensational deâ€" claration by Hon. Clifford Sifton, who for twentyâ€"three years has representâ€" ed Brandon in the Liberal interests, and who for nine years was Minister of the Interior, that he could not folâ€" low his friends of the Government in this new and redical change of fiscal policy. In s compact and closeâ€" Tyâ€"reasoned speech of two hours‘ duraâ€" tion the exâ€"Minister gave the reasons for his course and furnished practiâ€" cally the only logical criticism that ?u yet been ofig::d to the Lgre.:ne.nt. n comparison a ts advancâ€" ed from the other m the House by Messrs. Borden and Foster were Jnmedi' y weak and ineffective. Mr. Bifton was the first critic to deal with the details of the agreement in their economic apsect. Almost in his first sentence did the exâ€"Minister make p‘ain hig sttitude. He regretted that on a sujbect so imâ€" ( s pas iss party wi i 2 ia?:fi&ed all his life. ty . n the Liberal reciproci W‘? of twenty years ago he had, he said, participated, but ahmost before the cammpaign was over he had come to believe that the party was wrong. **We don‘t leave our ga.rty for a emall reason," said Mr. Sifton, "but eelf against reciprocity. _ Mr. Sifton declaredy that he bad maede no mystery about his opinion dflnfi he liad not tried to force i% upon his political friends. . _ Mr. Sifton went on to criticize the conduct of the Government in this deal. In a matter of this importance the fullest enqm'r{ is usually madeâ€" for instance, at the time of the Gerâ€" man question 20,000 enquiries were Bimce then he had steadily set himâ€" ‘"In this case I believe we should have consulted the mostâ€"favored naâ€" tions," he said. But in this case Mr. Bifton showed how niggardly the Govâ€" erument had been furnishing informaâ€" tion. Members had had to dig their statistics out of various blue books as ‘"‘Nothing has given Canada such a shock as &at four or five gentlemen, of their own will can commit .this oountry W so"raCNals change. x‘ao not think that there can be a more dangerous condition," was Mr. Sitâ€" ton‘s assertion. This Government had three planks in its platformâ€"British preference, reâ€" duced duties on soma articles used by farmers, and a reduction on raw material used by manufacturers. But the underlying principle was still proâ€" rection. In 1900 the people endorsed the tariff of 1897. "I am firmly convinced that the system was the best for Canada, and one which it will be unsafe radically to change," went on Mr. Sifton, who proceeded to deal with the British preference. _ _ we adhere to a party because, in gouâ€" eral, it adhercs to principles in which But when there is a basic differâ€" ence, Mr. Sifton thought it time that political a}le%'anee be dissolved. ‘‘That is the position in which I "I dissent altogether with the proâ€" position that Canadians have been in favor of recipmci;.z for the past forty years," declared Mr. Sifton. _ _ _ There had, however, he explained, been several atteumpts at an approachâ€" ment. But when it came to the elecâ€" tion of 1908, neither party made the least mention of reciprocity. _ ‘‘That is the position in which I find myself toâ€"day. I take the only course possible for me, however painâ€" ful it may be." _ argue the merits of the question, he thought. _ _ _ __ "I agree that the Government has had no mandate to make these proâ€" posals," went on the exâ€"Minister. ‘"The Government, it was true, was not elected to pass upon specific measâ€" ures. They have to exercise a discreâ€" tion within the constitution, but they abused it in turning away from a policy that had three times been disâ€" cussed, debated and approved. 5 best they could.

Fisher argud that it was an inenilt to the Canadian people to suppose that they would be inffuenced by trading with the United Btates when the motherland had a trade largely in excess of that of Canada. W. M. German (Weland) moved the adjournment. and the debat> will be resumed on Thursday. The House «loes not sit on Ash Wednesday. The Minister of Agriculture criticizâ€" ed Mr. Sifton‘s statement that he would have been justified in standing pat when President Tait was about to enforce the provision for the imâ€" position of the maximum clause in the Payneâ€"Aldrich tariff, when a few immaterial concessions ptevented a State of non<intercourse in commere» existing batween the two countries. . Mr. Fisber answered the charge of the member for Brandon that the Govâ€" ernment had revived reci%mcity. by pointing ou; that when the presont Government â€" assumed office, the Prime Minister sent a joint hi&h comâ€" mission, which went to Washingtcn to nsotiueja &udo treaty. It failed in this, and the announcement was made that any future proposals would have to come from the United Sttes. Mr. Fisher challenged the statement made by Mr. Sifton that the Governâ€" ment had not fully informed itself on the question, and had not provided the country with full information. Jt was all very well to consult one in« dustry, and base an argument on the conditions affecting that industry. An industry regarded a tariff from &o point of view of profit, whereas the Uovernment had to regard a scheâ€" dule as it affected the industry conâ€" cerned, and every other industry in the country. o _ Btates was brandishing a club qver our head. Now they say they afe our head. Now they say they afre friendly. : How long will &qm friendly. How long will they remaiun so? At any time, a thousand things may*cause friction serious enough to make it essy for an Ameri¢an poliâ€" tical party to court popularity by moving ;g:inst Canada. ‘Certainly, we are putting our head in s noose," said Mr. Sifton, amid cheers. * Mr. Sifton went into figures, H had prevailed at higher prices in :; Canadian maerket than in the States, Lambe had brought less at Chlu‘o s Only for the higher grade of butter was the American price more than the Canadian. a his position when he differed on a vital question for his party. In bringâ€" ing down the reciprocity agreement, Mr. Fisher thought the Government was continuing its wise and farseeing administration of the affaire of the country. _ _ _ _ 2 s "But if I did believe with the memâ€" ber for Brandon," said Mr. Fisher, "I, too, would resign my position qm{ oppose this reso‘lution." es Mr. Fisher‘s reply to Mr. Sifton was courteous. He congratulated his colâ€" league on the manner in which he f{resented his convictions to the ouse. He valued party rea‘lly as much as Mr. Sifton, but thought that the country came before the party, and it was a man‘s duty to declare market would be absolutely dominated by the United States and the most the" raÂ¥rmer~ event iI~ presont~ market conditions were not demoralized. This agreement meant practically free trade in agricultural products. . The Mr, Sifton could sze .na.cain .fot
