SUPPLEMENT THE t i i NEWMARKET ONTARIO AUGUST 1894 i VSpeech Delivered in the House of Commons at Ottawa on June by Wm MP From in Mr Ma it Before yea leave the 1 Co bare ihffatntBQ of be for few a I to a matter thai good deal Attention at the band of and tie country I refer to tbe ties course I refer this potion to the bill that I introduced on March dealing with the matter and if by accident I ektfjll do so tAJ Mr Speaker you ill be ate the is one of considerable The order of the last having termin ated any of the and ul from the discussion that the Government contemplate not setting their faces against all ft only against my pro- netware and to inquiries I perhaps I might bo rermittrd to refer to the in the abstract without reference to any proposed legislation- if yon look at the figure of the cattle trade I think the most coma to the conclusion that INTERESTS WELFARE saffer If this trxdo destroyed trade in live with Great Britain within few years has national importance and its destruction must affect the national far If we to nor any cause destroyed the of the mines the bote country woold unanimously that W prevent auch a disaster such should to forthcoming and yet the product of the bare not- brought tack to within the last years within million dollars what has been brought back to by the cattle trade I the I have to if extended prior to i I am only taking the finres and Daring the four year the gross amount of tores of Canada ezpcrtJ the gross of cattle exported US Britain dnring the period lo In other wcrdt the live to thin back to Canada from the sale of ma no factored goods if you were that the ex port Canada In danger end in all bo absolutely terminate that there I not bo a worth of the man of act ores of Canada nnlHs Intervened public would demand legis lation no doubt that re sponse would bo the Parliament i i think all attention to which it entitled the in the measure has bran verified open- wo had daily pre sentation of petition coming all of Canada askiP for legislation to deal vith referred I to It there fore cannot be that the not of national nd it cannot be that there is no existing wo efdenco of it in the jurcals of the during the last three a WHAT ARE THOSE EVILS Hon gentlemen aware that there bo no live cxttle sent to gland now except through If it was to send tltcat through an American port Canadian woold be subjected to quarantine regulatron in the for a peril of days the being imposed as re Canadian Cattle entering the jilted States I fini no fault with the regulation for it a counter pVtof I merely mention it that there only one a by from here to the Rocky c4D Europe and that is through a Canadian which practically is Montreal It true there are other but it equally that the vessels which ply between these ports and Great Britain are tinder the Mine control as those which at the pres est time have caniel on the trade prin cipally from the port of Montreal It might be that the law of supply and demand would regulate this ques tion and I myself being in favor of free nearly as obtain it would in the abstract concur in the argument that the law of supply and demand would regulate this us ell matter But IP ARTIFICIAL MEANS to prevent the law of supply and demand applying and if these means are such aa to application of that principle then the time arrives Parliament to and an nearly as possible the principle of supply and demand- and overcome the and greed of those Tor to prevent the application of thai principle and therefore it we cannot ascertain at Montreal the carrying Canadian cattto to Brit on account of interference be tween supply and demand we mill be able to find the true value a result of the application of the OP SUPPLY AND DEMAND in adjacent and transfer rate and make it apply to the trade as con dueled between our own and foreign ports It charged by tho rates including rates for already on board Where docs the freedom contract come inhere rportephvelarxonom- of at the port only Canadian port from which they can be exported these cattle are in the stockyards or on the ear awaiting shipment and only pos sible way by which animals can be marketed is to send them by vessel all of which are in Combination and which follow the jracrice that is bare charged them Where I ask Is there any OF coder crrcu instances like The theory as to fair free contract if that both parties be to sub mit or not submit to its choosey but this case there no the cattle is entirely at the mercy of the carrying If this statement is true and it is not contradicted we must it it shows what greed will accom plish The Asso ciation on Each line has its representative at Montreal and what is easier thin for representative to meet weekly or and combine as to have their agents in cabling them constantly to price of If it goes they put freight rates rates already on board- If the price fallsratos do not comedown in proportion If there is a large quantity of cattle at Montreal the vessel men combine to exact exces sive If improve and shippers want to in time to advantage of such improvements up go tbe rate In fact every state o the market or ex igency of the cattle trade seems to bo taken advantage of by the vessel men to levy excessive rate- Buyers cannot as certain before buying what the rates will tires very great to the decline and I I very accurately remember a statement by one of these when he THE be Tore theGoremment a jhort time The First Minister will perhaps what I am to refer to and will correct me if I am wrong One of these gentlemen somewhat John I

that done the trade en tirely overcomes any such argument as TO STATER because I refuse to imperil the rest of fortune in tfie until this state of affairs is put an nd Thus with a allgrounded fear of being charged excessive rates they have to in ignorance of what the vessel men will to carry the cattle to market The rate may be a head or It may be uncertainty alone makes cattle buying extremely to

slightest degree prejudice a fair of the measure and I was anxious that it should bring from the House the best opinions of members from ell sidns that the case might be imparti ally dealt with without reference to party but wholly in the interests of the trade which I to to in the tereJts of the For that reason at tho Introduction of the bill and from stage until now and now as well I have assumed the attitude of asking the Homo the of specially to the measure and my attitude it as simply In the interests of the trade and not to allow the slightest degree of partyiim to which might if introduced prevent a proper solution of the question being arrived at I hope that in dealing with the question in the it may be viewed from that non party standpoint and if so I feel con fident that way or other we will arrive at a proper solution know that it customary is an effort to destroy a measure to attract attention toforae weak feature and to condemn movement by alluding to some immaterial connected with it For example it might fco if there any In this House disposed as I hope are not to create a prejudice against the granting of relief by pointing cut objec tions to mo sure which I had the honor to But that Is not the way I submit which to bo dealt with If my bill is hot sound If It will not meet cafe let abetter that is way to meet tho case I will lay these propositions that the facts will show that trade In question IS Or and that its destruction will bo produc tive of national If we admit these two proportions are to that is powerless to redress a wrong or prevent an or of gigantic character Or wo to admit that Parliament is able and willing to grout the necessity relief ft has been that hill which I Is a novel I admit that It Is not el one but novel diseases require remedies and 1 venturo to ay that you will not find another case on record carrying trade of one class of goods In a nation the of Canada practically under the control of one man There- foro if the proposition I offered was a novel one plead a TUB OK Tim DISEASE Now Shaker I not take up the longer Tfto House knows whathas happened in I not point out the practical In of tha carrying on of trade It must be apparent to every member that If the buyers who go out country to buy cattle for shipment to do not know what going to cost to land thorn in they are going to everything against tile Canadian farmer In roaming the purchase They have the argument their mouths to enable effectually to reduce the price they offer that It it not an un sound argument shown by the fact that In United States prices for cattle higher than In Canada because the freight from United States to except In tho immediate present rule loaer than from Canada white our farmers are obliged to land their cattlo on the docks of Uvorpool and London competition with American The result has bean that have got fnoro per pounds for live cattle In gland than Canadian faraers not glpg to be that White J to know that tempor arily batter treatment fa toingurnished by the vessel owners at Montreal the I no great con fidence in the permanent conversion of I not the slightest that if public is drawn away from this question and opportunity again arises history will repeat the Canadian tlo trade will 9 gain be at the mercy of vessel owners lor these reasons while I regret in that ray bill is not likely to discussed this session owing to the Government all tho days for their own I trust that some good may come onto it if Government will carry out pledge given by the Minister to investi gate the question with tho view of granting relief I am sorry that the Government through First Minister have declared HOSTILE TO TUB J but I am going to minimize that attitude as far as I can in my own mind by tak ing the hostility simply to particular form in I have proposed relief I am going to hope that it is a hostility not to tbe principle that wo must grant relief but simply to the form which I have proposed to grant it If I am right in that hope then perhaps a batter measure than I proposed will the outcome of my ac tion At all events until I am assured to the contrary until I learn that the are going to to as bad as the owners I will be charitable to them and will that they are go ing to act view of preventing a the evil Adams Am jot j Bain Boiler Bennett Blanch Boy to Calvin V J Sir John Caron UdiII
