Man- ufacturers cannot, with any degree of Justice, raise the plea of vested Interests, which has often been used to prevent alterations in the tariff as it stood. Where men have created a business under the operation of the tariff, framed for the purpose of promoting the wel- fare of (he whole poople, I admit a great deal may be said against any violent alteration or interference with what has been the settind policy of the country. But where men de- liberately soli themsel 7es to this or that po- litical party for the avowed purpose of taxing the rest of the community for their private benefit, there are no veated rights in such case, although there may be vested wrongs enough for the people, when they come to their senses, to redress." — Sir R. Cartwrigkt. « This is the third time at least that we have taken issue with these honorable gentle- men. W*) took issue with them in 1878 when tbey entered on this foolish, miscalled Na- tional Policy, of which they will in a very short time be reaping the very unpleasant result."— 5iriJ. Cariwright (3Td March, 1888.) ■' We can change the character and tone of the whole fiscal policy." — Hon. Mr. Anglin- (As the Hon. Mr. Blake's representative to the Repealers In Halifax, December, 1886.) ■■ The tariff issue will continue to be the great issue until it is settled in the right way. The protective system is pulling this country down hill."— iTamiUon 7\'«m( (Free Trader), 1887. Tet, with this unmitigated, uninterrupted record of determineo opposition to the Na- tional Policy, the opponents of that policy, in the hopoa of lulling the suspicions of its friends, are in Industrial centres quietly whispering that manutaoturers, and all Inter- ested in manufactures, have "nothing to fear ' from the party led by Mr. Blake, whose lieutenaniB are Hir Richard Cartwrlght, Hon. A. Q Jones, Hon. D. Mills, and othars whose record baa Just lieen given. "Nothing to fear!'' Mr Joues declare* "that the National Policy must go" and he is the head of the Free Trade party in *he Eastern provinces which, in 1876, forced the Mackenzie Government to turn a deaf ear to Mr, Workman and those of his (Wends la tb4 Liberal party who, a^. that time, urged a protective tariff as the only salvation of the country. "Nothing to fear'," When Sir Richard Cartwright declares that he now holds the self same views as be did when he affirmed that the present tariff << could not stand " aa it was •■legalised robbery." ■■ Nothing to fear" 1 When Mr. Charlton in 1886 maintains as he did in 1S73 that the present tariff robs every class in the com- munity. Ijet no man be deceived I Tli^ National Policy has save^ Canada during the severest depression the industrial world bas ever known, the period of 1883-6. While every one of the five great industrial nations of the world has been suffering terribly, Canada under her preseiii tainl has prospered. The year 1886 closed with a circulation of bank and Dominion notes (the best test of pros- perity known) higher than over before in the history of the Dominion, Circulation Deoemlier, 1886 $43,600,000 ClronlatloD December, 1878 2S,S00,Ui)0 with overdue notes and debto owing to the banks the lowest uver known ; with our railways doing the best business they have ever done ; with every evidence of prospe/lty more clear and convincing than at any other time since Confederation. Put the enemies of the National Policy into power, and there will be — there mdst be — changes in the tariff that will destroy its use- fulness and bring back again the doleful period of 187fi.9. Every man who hat at'acked the National Policy viill teanl lome change o. other to give him an excute to tay hi hat not gone back on hit principle*. The result will be that between them ail the National Policy will "go by the board." Why, sc deter- mined are the free traders in the Blast that the National Policy shall go that their chief organ says, on the 15(h January this year, "We rejoice that It Is the policy of the Liberal party to do away with the fuel and bread taxes," The free traders there know that th-i National Policy has given viUllty to a great Industry like the coal industry.
