ONE BiG REASON
FOR RECIPROCITY

(Continued from page gpe)

also of the interior country and
on the development of Alaska.
Alaska is a country equally rich
with Northern B. C. Tt has
minerls, gold, fish, and natural
products. Seattle depends for her
prosperity upon the development
of Alaska. run daily
from Seattle to Alaska. Alaska
belongs to the United States and
her trade to the
cities in the States.
Alaska and Rupert

“Now the G. T. P. will cbecome
one of the finest carrying lines
in the world today when complete
owing to its easy grade. It will
be one of the cheapest in transport
rates. Prince Rupert its Pacific
terminus will benefit and be a
good place to buy in. Apply the
Clements’ bean argument—What
does Alaska consume? It needs
cattle, beef, mutton, hay, oats,
produce of ali kinds, draft horses,
provisions—in fact Alaska is an
importing territory for all food
stuffs.

“Mr. Clements warts us to buy
our beans in Ontario. You can
understand the effect of that policy
upon Prince Rupert. Alaska buys
her beans and supplies in Seattle.
There are various heavy duties
on all the things Alaska needs if
bought in Canada so Alaska buys
her goods in Seattle. A protective
tariff will divert trade into un-
natural channels, as [| ahve said.

Rupert Nearest Alaska

“Prince Rupert is three days
nearer Alaska than is Seattle.
If Prince Rupert wants that Alaska
trade it is absolutely necessary
to break down the tariff wall
between Canada and Alaska. We
break down that wall by passing
the reciprocity treaty between Can-
ada and the United States. (Loud
cheers prolonged).

In a Nutshell

“Here is the situation in a nut-

Steamers

shell.. In the whirligig of: the
world’s politics it has become
necessary to establish a_ closer

relationship between Great Britain
and the United States. They say
the United Staies wants to annex
Canada. There never
emptier statement. United States
statesmen don’t want annexation,
for the United States is peculiarly
and particularly interested in havi
ing the British flag over Canada
at this time.
the Monroe Doctrine is more ste

wes an

The maintenance of}

ever important to the United
States just now. There is noi the |
slightest danger of annexation. !

*“‘The situation amounts to this:|
President Taft said Sir
Wilfrid Laurier by’ ghe terms

of the reciprocity treaty ‘We ofier

has to

you on behalf of your young city
on the Pacific Coast, the trade of
Alaska ‘without

whatever.’ Sir

having naturally
in Prince Rupert, said
behalf of the citizens of » Prince
Rupert, ‘We will accept this prince-
ly gift from President Taft.’ What
are the citizens of Prince Rupert
going to say about it on September
2st? Are they going to say, that
ambitious they are for the
development of their city they
will not have this gift? Is that
what they are going to say? I
don’t think so, for I think I know
something about the people of
Prince Rupert. (Loud cheers).
Suppose the Treadwell Mines or
some of the ‘big canneries want
100 tons of goods when the G. T. P.
gets through would they, do you
think, rather send a steamer the
36 hour trip to Rupert or the three
days longer voyage to Seavrtle
for those supplies? The bean
argument works clearly with Alaska
as with British Columbia. The
only great point I am going to

those tariff walls and the trade
of Aleska is yours. Keep them up,
and that trade is still forced to go
into Seattle. (Loud ard vigorous
applause).
All for Rupert

“Apart from the main issue of
reciprocity is there not good reason
for the electors of Prince Rupert
to return a Government candidate?
The Dominion Government is fi-
nancing the great dry dock here,
making preparations for a great
port and a great city. The Dom-
Government is preparing
to build permanent Customs and
Post Offices here at a cost of half

inion

a million dollars. They are not
being built very fast, I know,
but they are going to be built

(laughter). I don’t think that is
the Government's fault. The situ-
ation was that owing to that little
difference between the city and
the G. T. P. the Government
title deeds to the sites for these
buildings could not be cleared
until after the difference had been
adjusted. That has now been
done, and the buildings will speedi-
ly follow.

“The Dominion Government is
building a Marine Depot over at
Digby Island, and is distributing
aids to navigation freely where
needed on the way to Prince Ru-
pert. It stands to reason that the
Government would not do this
and spend half a million dollars
on this city of Prince Rupert
unless it felt certain that Prince
Rupert is. going to grow into a
city of magnificent proportions.
The Governnient can do two things
to benefit the Dominioa, It can
make it its policy to extend trade
for Canada, and it can spend the
public money in such a way that
facilities are offered for the ex-
pansion of trade in the growing
cities of the Dominion. That is
what the Government is doing
for Prince Rupert.

“Let me appeal to you—you
who have thrown your fortunes
and your lot into this new city
of Prince Rupert—are you going
to allow your party politics and
prejudices to interfere with some-
thing which means more to the
city of Prince Rupert than to any
other city perhaps in the Dom-
inion of Canada? I think not!
(Loud cheering).

The Fishermen

“IT received a petition tenight
very largely signed, about a sub-
ject in which you are all interested

 

in Prince Rupert. The people
want laws to enable the fishers
in these wealth teeming waters

of ours to obtain fishing licences
which they can work to
advantage and sell their fish in

under

the best markets obtainable. I
have told you of the fishery
situation in Canada when the

New England Fish Company sent
their vessels round here to the
best halibut fishing banks in the
world, caught Canadian halibut,
shipped them to New York mar-
kets, and even sent hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of
Canadian halibut back into East-
the border
on which the Canadian consumer
wes only too pleased to pay.a
cent a pound duty! (Sensation).
“Crities tell me sometimes that
I am too frank in my speeches.
Well, I am going to be frank with
the petitioners in this case. - It
would be absolutely absurd for
any government on the one hand
to break down protection and on
the other to keep it up. For my
own part, I want to give the white
fisherman the best market possible,
and to give him as unrestricted
a trade as possible. The only way
we can get rid o; the Oriental
difficulty is by giving the white
man a chance 1o fish and to sell
his fish the best markets ob-
tainable. For my part I want
the white fisherman to have the
best possible conditions, and while
supporting the Government will

Rupert's Opportunity

Sir Wilfrid Laurier is ‘Will you

that you are loyal in Prince
Rupert. I know that you are

ambitious for Prince Rupert. |

Mr. Ross sat down amidst a
tremendous outburst of cheering.
