DalLy EDITION. aga THURSDAY, SEPT. 7 WHY CONSERVATIVES SHOULD SUPPORT RECIPROCITY Why every Conservative should vote for reciprocity is apparent. Every follower of Sir John A. Macdonald, to be consistent, should | support this reciprocity agreement for all he is worth. Coming as an admonition from the grave are these words, delivered in the last election campaign of their great leader at Toronto, February 21, 1891: ‘It has beea said in the opposition press that we have been rather changing our views. As Sir Charles Tupper has explained, we have been consistent with regard to all questions relating to the fiscal policy | and the development of trade and the industries of Canada. We have} never varied. Our policy is quite consistent with the desire to extend | our trade to all nations of the earth, including our neighbors across the border. ‘We have offered to the United States to negotiate like two sen- sible nations, desirous of getting mutual trade. And what does Mr. Blaine say? He says: ‘I think we ought to have a basis to negotiate.’ And Mr. Blaine went further, so anxious was he to meet our views. He said that after the 4th of March he would agree to meet the British minister and a delegation from Canada to consider the question, and that is the position in which the matter stands now.”’ In other words, Sir John A. Matcdonald’s Government in 1891, and the newspapers supporting it, looked upon a reciprocity which would exclude manufactured articles as a boon to Canada, and even pretended to be on the eve of securing it. Such a reciprocity is that which the Laurier Government has now achieved, and it is one which} Conservative voters can support at the polls without being untrue to party traditions. In this same election campaign Sir John Thompson, then minister of justice in the Macdonald cabinet, issued a manifesto stating: THE DAILY NEWS —— Siates will be reopened to the products which our people desire most to send there. “A fair measure of reciprocity is what we desite, and we have no idoubt that that can be obtained without undue sacrifices.”’ ip calelalaponapll | Local Conservatives who have the slightest regard for consistency jare forced at the coming election to choose between the traditional policies of Sir John A.
