Tha' upon the oiasses of artieles which are '

an additional ra o of 2^ per cent, upon the rates \

Wher-'OH. tne labours of the Oeological Sur-
vuy h;ive clearly demonstrated that the I>o-
mlnion abounds in vast deposits of economic
minerals of unappreciabld value to a young
country, and these labours are being dally sup-
plemented by private euturprise and exertions,
iiio e partioularl> In the iron minerals ;
And wheieas, the history of other countries
older than our own has shewn that the develop-
ment ot such resources has been a great motor
ill th I pi'Oftress and advancement of such coun-
tries, and has conduced mure to the material
prosperity of tt country than almost any other
branch ot industry ;
And whereas, it appears, (xempli grallin that
dwoden and .Vorway, ii'it to mention Kngiand,
have attain d tlieir present position morehy the
proper iivelupinent a'ld eiieouraKcnient of the
iron industry than from any other cause ;
.\nd whenas, tliu hereioforo and existing
criminal neglect on the part of our community,
of tne proper devlopinent of its mineral re-
nouree- is being orouKht prominently before our
eyes by the exporiatiun of vast qiianrltiesof raw
iiiinerei products to manufactu.ers in the
I'niod Slates, and we are confronted witii the
speutacle of iheso same deposits being returned
int I oui midst in a nianufuetured form and sold
III our people, while thousands whose necessities
might oe met at the pn sent juncture by the
u»iist£nce and eneourAgcmeiit of tuch nianu-
factories aniungst us are sutfering from the
apathy that exists in this respect ;
.\nd wlicieivs, in consequenct; of the promises
and in view of the b-juiidless and startllnii ell'eot
of 4 piilicy lit proteution tu iii mnfaci iires ex-
hibited across our borders in the building up of
thii United .States, and in a similar manner in
the employ niciil of surplus labour, r«iention of
capital within its border^, and the rellox action
of It iip'in tr-doof all kinds,
Hciiilmi therefore. That for the carryin - ou'
of the spirit of the preamble and nnc luraging
the inirodnctlon of capital into the Dominion
for the develuptnent of the i on trade aim utiliz-
ing our ii'on oie, this meeting recommends a

duced in Canada from the ore, guaranteed
