far Progress Under British Auspices-Government's Attitude
Toward Oriental Immigration and Eight-Hour Day
Following is the full text of the speech
delivered by A. S. Goodeve, M. P., In
tin opera house on Friday evening:
Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen.
I can assure you-1 heartily appreciate
the very kindly and splendid reception
you have given me this evening. I also
•desire to express my sincere thanks to
the Kootenay Fruit Growers' union, who.
have so. kindly passed that very flattering resolution. I realize that they bave
been altogether too appreciative of my
humble efforts In endeavoring to advance the interests of tills district and
province, and I am sure that all of you
who have listened as I have with extreme pleasure to the very eloquent
statement of the hon. minister of public
works must realise that every citizen
of British Columbia feels that it Is not
simply a duty but rather a privilege
and an honor to. work for this grand
province; and that we realise as we
must after a statement of that kind Its
wonderful natural resources. Every
man and every citizen must feel that
we have much to work for and it is the
duty of all of us to do all we -can to
conserve and preserve and keep these
great assets and use them for the beBt
advantage ot the province and those
"who are to follow/ us.
I am afraid you have been led to
expect too much from the very kindly
references of the previous speaker, who
is an old friend of my own. As he has
said, we have often heen together ln
many campaigns and with his large*
heartedness he Is apt to overestimate
any little thing that I may have been
able to do in assisting him in, some of
the splendid fights that he has put up
on,behalf of our province and on behalf
of the Liberal Conservative party.
Question Is Big One.
Now, ln attempting to deal with this
Question which I know Ib in the hearts
and minds of all of you this evening, I
admit it is a very large and complicated
and difficult subject. It is one which
it would be impossible for any speaker
to handle all the various phases of In
the short time at his disposal in one
evening, and you can readily understand that certain arguments will occur
to you during the course of my remarks that I have overlooked and left
untouched. Tou will realize as I have
said that lt is Impossible to take up all
these various phases of the question.
It Is necessarily rather a technical question ; it is one which is difficult at first
sight and on the Surface view to understand in all its various ramifications
and see just what the results will be
in regard to Canada. Then, too, I feel
as your Dominion representative that it
is my duty if only very briefly to review something of the work of the past
session and tell you what has been
done, or rather. in this particular case
ll might say, what has heen left undone
[during our six. months of labor at Ottawa. We assembled there on November IS last and, as you know, we have
[only made a temporary, adjournment
and the house Is called to meet again
that Jn the laBt days of the session just
adjourned they brought ln a bill, or
rather an estimate of ¥2,000,000 to commence the building of that road; yet,
when we on our side of the house asked
for certain information, fair and proper
information, whether lt was to be not
only government owned but government
managed, they gave us absolutely no
information, and today there is not a
single man ln the house or in Canada
who knows whether or not, when the
railway Is built, It it -to be run by the
government or by a private corporation,
yet in the face of what looks to be an
election they are prepared to spend
$2,000,000 of the money of the people of
Canada In a very similar way to that
in which they Introduced the Mil for
the building of the Grand .Trunk Pacific. Then the question of government
owned terminal elevators, a natter of
such concern to the people of the vest
that in Winnipeg Sir Wilfrid Laurier
announced on the platform that he had
wired to the minister of agriculture to
Immediately prepare and bring in a bill
for fhe government ownership of those
terminal elevators. Finally a bill was
Introduced In the senate and after being amended to such an extent as to
take away all Its virtues yet on May 19,
just before the adjournment of the
house, this "bin was brought In, discussed a few minutes and then by the
government itself laid over so that
nothing was "done In regard to It. So
with all those vital questions.
Usual Crop of Scandals.
During the session the usual crop of
scandals developed, and I regret to say
that, as I think every true Canadian
does, and I trust the time ls not far
distant when we shall be able to hold
sessions of parliament without tbe introduction of any of those scandals and
investigations of that kind. There was
that great calamity, which it undoubtedly was to many of the people of Canada, the failure of the Farmers hank.
There is no doubt whatever it was a
scandalous affair and there was grave
responsibility upon the 'government for
the issuing of that charter. The Investigation absolutely proved that.
•Again, there was that matter of one of
the members of parliament using
illegally his position for his own emolument down In the district of Sorel at
the government shipyards; that, as you
know, was whitewashed. Then again,
last and not least, was the question
with regard to the minister of the Interior. Now, it Is not my intention tonight to discuss any of those scandals;
I think we have far graver and more
Important questions to consider, but I
cannot fail just in passing to call your
attention to this fact: that whether or
not the minister, of the interior was
guilty of any wrongdoing, and I am not
here to accuse him or say he was, the
fact remains that the question was Introduced, not by the opposition, not by
anyone opposed to the government, but
by, the leader of the government him-
*self. He himself stood up on the floor
of the house and said it was of such
publio notoriety and of such grave Im-
At the Imperial Theatre-Sir Wilfrid: "This little
Taft benefit act of mine don't seem to be appreciated here,"
,bnly 18.   Yet although we have spent ponanoe that he felt compelled to refer
all that time there I am free to confess - -   - -
(that probably there has never heen a
.session of the Dominion parliament so
[barren of any great results ln national
."legislation as the present session of the
house of commons In Ottawa,
Lack of Foresight.
For some reason, be it what It may,
'.here has been an absolute want of
justness and foresight In bringing for
'Ward the various questions that are of
^ital Interest to the people of Canada.
«perhaps this Is well illustrated by the
[act that it waB not until April 4, after
he house had been in session nearly
live months, that the budget speech was
jlrought down, and then it contained bo
■ttle of real Interest that lt was dis-
■■■ osed of In one short afternoon. Usually when a budget speech ls brought
own, as you know lt sometimes rehires a week, sometimes two or three
to lt and to bring the question before
parliament and ask for an Investigation. I do not propose to say a word
about that Investigation, but I want to
say thfs, that underlying that question
whether or not there was any wrongdoing on the part of any member of the
government there was a grave principle
to which ft is my duty to direct the
attention of the people of Canada, and
lt Is this: that without any legal obligation, without any moral obligation or
any just obligation of any kind on
behalf of the government, they deliberately for some reason undertook to
give to a private corporation a large
COMMISSIONER IS

pROWNED AT  FORT WILLIAM.
' FORT WILLIAM, Ont, June 11.—F.
Frosdyke, an Englishman employed by
the C. P. R. as a trucker, was drowned
this morning while at work. He was
engaged along with many others in unloading freight from the Harmonic,
when- a passing tug struck the vessel
from the dock and the trucker at that
instant on the planking fell into the
water and was drowned. The police
grappled all morning but could not find
the body owing to deep holes in the
river bed. The body was recovered at

NO CONFIRMATION OF
ROYAL VISIT TO CANADA
OTTAWA, June 11.—Careful inquiry
in official circles fails to produce any
confirmation of the story that King
George proposes to pass through Canada on bis way to or from India, where
he will attend the Indian durbar. If
the king has any such intention no official announcement has yet heen made
of his proposal to visit Canada. In replying to a greeting to him by the
Royal Geographical society of England
recently his majesty said: "I keenly
look forward to renewing my travels
this autumn and visiting the eastern
peoples of my empire." The members
of the society had congratulated King
George on being the most travelled sovereign who had ever reigned over the
British empire. The king's reply does
not Indicate any intent of' Visiting the
western peoples of his empire.
CORNWALL'S  BAD START.
CORNWALL, Ont., June li.—The
Cornwall lacrosse team got away to a
bad start today, the Toronto twelve
scoring eight goals while the locals
never once managed to connect the ball
with them. Toronto were the heavier
team, this being especially noticeable
when their defense lined up against the
Cornwall home.- Despite the fact that
the new rules render checking less severe than In previous years the Cornwall attack seldom got In close to the
Toronto goal tender and their long-
range shots proved easy picking.

STORM STILL RAGINQ.
(Sueclal tn The Dally News.)
VANCOUVER, B, 0„ June 11.—In a
comprehensive address at North Vancouver the minister of lands, W. R,
Ross, dealt with forest -wealth and the
-care and assistance citizens, particularly campers, lumbermen and railway
men should render tne government In
protecting it from destruction by fire.
"By the end of the season," he said,
"careless citizens of this province will
have shot several million dollars worth
of our national resources out of existence into smoke. All this will happen, and the reason iwill be carelessness—rank carelessness. This Is our
great jveakneBs as a people, we are
careless about our great resources of
timber and -we tolerate each other'B
carelessness. Public opinion is all important in the prevention of forest
fires. Orators may plead, governments
may strive to do their utmoBt as the
present government is doing, to save
the forests, but in the long rua success depends on a very commonplace
matter, the care the average citizen
can be induced to exercise when using fire near woods; care with matches
and tobacco and -cigarettes, cave with
tearap and clearing fires, care with
donkey engines and locomotives. Kyi
ery man, woman and child in :he province can-do a little to help proiei.t
the forests.
"Lately," he added, "In British Columbia lumbermen and timber owners
have organized themselves into a voluntary fire protective association as the
lumbermen of Washington and Idaho
have done so successfully. The provincial government has had to Btep in
and shoulder the entire responsibility
for fire protection, for the time being,
and it has had to do this more or less
in a hurry to prevent as far as possible
further damage to one of the grevt-isi:
assets of the province. The government has had to employ a large force
of men and to cover the timbered dls>-
tricts with a network of patrol and
expend a very large sum of money
both last year and this, and it haB had
to do so under great difficulties., I am1
glad to say that - to some extent the
difficulties caused by the overlapping
ot the provincial and dominion jurisdiction have been overcome. In the matter
of inspection of railway locomotives,
and clearing of right of way, I have
•heen able to come to an arrangement
with the Dominion government Moreover, railways have begun to realize
the enormous destruction they have
caused and are willing to co-operate
with us in preventing fire, but we have
other troubles in abundance."
Panic  When  Hurricane  Levels Circus
Tents—Coney Island Shacks Blown
Down—Lives Lost.
NEW YORK, June 11.—A survey of
the nearby territory over which the
elements raged from 10 o'clock last
night until four o'clock this morning
showed today that three lives were mat
and the havoc wrought by water was
great, with hundreds of thousands of
dollars damage. Two bodieB were found
on the shore of Gravesend bay. The
third death waa in Jersey City, where
a fallen live wire electrocuted David
Clark. Losses agregating more than
■$100,000 were caused by fires set by
lightning strokes, it is estimated that
$5,000 damage waB done at Flushing,
Long Island, where at least 4,000 men
and women were within a big enclosure witnessing a circus. Ten tents
were levelled by the wind and in the
stampede which followed six women
were trampled and were taken to the
hospital. At Coney Island tents and
shacks erected on the site of the recent fire were blown down and some
drifted out to sea.
At Patterson, N. J„ a hundred big
trees were uprooted carrying down with
them electric light and trolley wires,
leaving the city without light or car
service for  Beveral hours. .

of the Ymir general hospital do not
think they have received fair treatment
in the matter of revenue received from
the assessment ot men working on government roads on account of hospital
dues. It appears that men employed

roads at and near Ymlr have been assessed for hospital dues without their
knowledge, aud the proceeds credited to
the Nelson, hospital. J. H. Schofleld,

the doors of the hospital.

'Continued from Page One.)
argument was that ft had been done in
the past. When i called his attention
to the fact that while It was true it had
been done In the past every man In that
house also knew, as all the people of
Canada knew, that ft was that very
course ln the past that had led to most
serious and grave scandal, that it was a
question of allowing and placing In the
-hands of one individual minister those
absolute rights that led to the giving
away of those enormous amounts of
grazing land that made some of the
public men of Canada millionaires at
the expense of the people of Canada;
and I can say I think without any vanity
that the arguments I advanced at that
time made such an impression on tbe
house that even the government side
were inclined to ask that the clause be
cut out, and one minister deliberately
turned around and asked the minister
of the interior If he would not allow it
to stand over.s Mr. Oliver hesitated a
moment or two and then said that he
was afraid he would have to ask the
government to press for the carrying of
that subsection, which simply meant he
was applying the party lash, and by an
absolute party majority they carried
that subsection which placed ln the
hands of the minister of the interior l
the absolute authority and control over
tbat vast heritage, giving him absolute
authority to give or withhold, as he
might see fit, all the privileges contained therein.
White British Columbia.
Those are some of the questions
which I think are of great and Importance to every .one In this Canada of'
ours. Then there are two other bills
that are of particular interest to the
worklngmen of Canada. They are probably of special interest to* tbe province
of British Columbia. One of them, I \
think, largely hinged on the election at
which you did me the honor of electing me. It was practically the question
ot a white-British Columbia. You know
British Columbia stood tor the exclusion of Asiatics. British Columbia stood
for the careful selection of her immigration; she stood for bringing in only
the beBt and what would aid in building
up an Anglo-Saxon Canadian nationality; but after the first -session of the
new parliament the Conservative members having raised this matter, the
argument was advanced by the government that we were too late, the British
treaty had already been signed by the
government of Canada, therefore they
were not in a position to do anything;
that they had agreed to hand over the
right and control of the Japanese immigration Into Canada to the Japanese
themselves by,their treaty. Now then
that treaty expires pn July 18—that Is,
the 18th of next month—and Mr. Fielding brought down a resolution for permission to Introduce a bill asking to
amend the customs act of 1907 In regard to tbe commercial relations with
the empire of Japan.
Control of Japanese immigration.
In connection with that bill he undertook to write on behalf of the government of Canada a certain letter to the
representative of the government of
Japan, and In that letter he said the
present arrangement ln regard to Immigration, from Japan to Canada was eminently satisfactory and he was satisfied
on behalf of the government of Canada
to have that condition of affairs continue.
Mr. 'Burrell, the member for Yale-
Cariboo, took up the question and introduced a resolution. dealing very fully
with the question and showing that
they had practically pledged themselves
that when the opportunity came they
would take back the control of immigration to Canada from Japan and on that
basis their argument was based. Now,
I desire ln dealing with all these matters tonight to adhere very carefully
and strictly to facts only and facts that
can be proved and are taken only from
official sources, as I think it Is very
unfair for any public man dealing with
public questions to endeavor to take
advantage of or misconstrue any information for the sake of any party
advantage he may seemingly gain
thereby. I think it is our duty to place
fairly and squarely before the people
of Canada the facts as they come to
our knowledge, facts that probably are
difficult or Impossible to obtain on the
part of the general public. You can
readily understand that In the house
we have the advantage of getting certain information that can scarcely be obtained elsewhere, and for that reason I
believe It is our duty in discussing any
of these questions to give the sources
of our authority and give the facts as
we find them recorded ln the official
'records of the house. For that reason,
I with your permission, I would like from
time to time to refer to'these documents. I do that because, as I have
said, I would not want anyone to feel
that I was making statements that are
not borne out hy the facts.
Would Hand Over All Control.
I have here, for instance, the official
record of all the debates that go on in
tbe house of commons. These have
been preserved from the time of con-
fereratlon even in 1867 to the present
time. We. find in regard to this question of the incoming of the Japanese
that we had a very spirited debate, and
I think that every man In this hall
would be surprised to learn that the
hon. minister ot agriculture, backed up
by other ministers of the government,
undertook to say that not only were
they satisfied with the position the government took in regard to the Influx of
Japanese Into the province of British
Columbia which led to the riots ln the
city ot Vancouver and compelled the
government to send their plenipotentiary all the way to Japan ln order to
have it stopped, hut they were absolutely considering the removal of the
head tax and allowing all orientals to
come into this country under their own
conditions; In other words, as. the hon.
member for Vancouver pointed out, a
Japanese under the act proposed by the'
minister of finance would have a
broader and greater right to come into
this country than a British subject. Let
me make lt clear: today if any Immigrant or intending settler arrives at the
shores of Canada from Great Britain—
either England, Ireland or Scotland—he
is subjected, to a strict-examination as
regards his health and habits and matters of that nature, and over and above
■tha-t he must have $60 in his pocket;
otherwise be is not allowed to land but
is deported on the same vessel on which
he arrives. At the same time, under the
proposed arrangement that they. are
making with Japan, a subject of tbe
Japanese - emperor can land at Vancouver without a dollar, can refuse to
answer any question and no man dare
to say him nay. Under the proposed
arrangement made by the minister of
finance,, he proposed to continue that
condition of affairs whereby all the subjects of the emperor of Japan have a
greater freedom in the Dominion of
Canada than the subjects of Great Britain herself.
An Official Statement.
Now those are facts tbat seem hardly
believable, yet we, have them all here
In Hansard. Here is the language of
Mr. Fisher himself. In answering some
of the arguments I advanced In regard
to this, pointing out not only the unfairness of It but the Injury of It to
the people of Canada, he said: "As a
matter of fact we have just such an
arrangement with the government of
India. My hon. colleague, the minister
of labor, went to England some time
ago in consequence of a certain Immigration, of Hindus into British Columbia which was objectionable."
Mr. Goodeve: That was a British
colony.
Mr. Fisher: And he then made an
arrangement with the Indian authorities
by which they undertook to restrict and
discourage the immigration to Canada
of those Hindus. My right hon. leader,
Sir Wilfrid.Laurier, stated not long ago
in this house that it would be in order
as soon as the time was ripe to make a
similar arrangement with China if possible.
Now, there Is the assertion of the
minister of agriculture, who has jurisdiction over immigration together with
the minister of the Interior, and he says
oh behalf of the government of Canada
that they are prepared to make a similar arrangement with China, and even
other countries in Europe, allowing
them the absolute control over our. Immigration instead - of retaining control
-ourselves. They would hand over that
control to these other governments as
they have to the government of Japan.
Mr. Goodeve's Stand.
I am not going to weary you with
regard to that, hut I would like as your
representative and as. that is an important subject, to show you how we
placed tbat case before the minister. I
said, "With reference to the similar
agreement that the minister of agriculture bus stated they have made with
the Indian government, it must be remembered that the people,of India are
British subjects and would' of necessity
have to be dealt with ln an.entirely
different manner from those not British
subjects. I can readily understand an
arrangement of that kind being made.
It was a difficult matter to handle and
if an agreement of that kind ts come
to I think it is eminently satisfactory,
and I am prepared to give credit for lt;
but speaking for myself alone and not
on behalf of those on this side of the
house I differ entirely with the policy
of this government in regard to foreign
immigration in handing over the absolute control of that Immigration to the
foreigners themselves."
Then I went on to say: "We cannot
apply parallels (speaking of our Immigration from this country) but It is for
that very reason we should act, because
we are the last great west and we desire to build up here a Canadian nationality, because we believe In our young
nation and we believe immigration
should be restricted and only the best
people of European countries should be
selected, only those people who can be
assimilated to make a sound Anglo-
Saxon race. ■ We do not need to defy
these people, neither should they feel
that It would be contrary to their dignity that we should retain complete control of our Immigration. I think it
would be more consistent with the dig-'
nity of the Canadian parliament that
we should say to Japan, 'While we welcome your trade, we Intend to retain
control of our Immigration.'"
That is the stand I took at that time,
and I found both Messrs. Fielding,
Oliver and Graham and other ministers
ln the house got up and opposed me
immediately.
Mr. Fielding said: "Is my honorable
friend talking exclusion or restriction?"
I Bald, "Control," and I argued the
point.
Should Control Immigration.
The minister of agriculture went
further. He said: "We did that with
India; we are going to do it with China.
and It may be possible we shall extend
the Bame treatment to other European
countries," and I said we differed from
him—tbat we have tbe absolute right
and It Is our duty to control our own
immigration. Now, there Is the policy
'of the two parties in regard to immigration ; those are the facts as they are
{recorded In Hansard; tbe government
deliberately, with full knowledge' of the
attitude of British Columbia—knowing
how lt was discussed In the last election, knowing their pledge to us that
while it was too late then they would
take It into consideration when the
matter came up again, yet when that
time came they deliberately by their
party majority decided to leave the control of Japanese immigration where it
Is, In the hands of the Japanese government, and ventured aa well to say
on behalf of the government that they
proposed to go further, to remove the
head tax on Chinese and possibly arrange with other European countries
that they should control the Immigration Into Canada.
Eight-Hour Bill.
Now, in regard to the other bill. It
is also here In Hansard and you will be
51°
surprised to learn, you worklngmen of
Kootenay, the attitude of the .government in relation to.that. Uet me ex-,
plain. .We, have in the house a labor
representative from Malssoneuve, Mr.
Veryiile. I am informed that every Bes-
slon since his election he bas brought
In an eight-hour bill and every session
he has allowed that bill to go to the
graveyard. He has simply brought it1
in in order if possible to deceive the
worklngmen of his own district and
province of Quebec. When he broutrht
In the*\bill on December 15 of this session, we who felt favorably disposed
toward eight-hour legislation' determined' that he would either show tha: be
was In earneBt or that they should :*nme
out in the open and state their attitude,
their real attitude, on this question. So
when "he introduced the bill, which wns
a fair one in itself, sound in principle,
at the same time he also brought down
a list of amendments whereby the entire virtue of the act would be destroyed. Immediately we took up the
cudgels on behalf of the worklngmen of
Canada, because, bear ln mind tbat the
department of labor had sent broad
cast over the length and breadth of
Canada* copies of that bill and with the
bill they had sent out eloquent speeches
made hy tho hon. miniater of labor, Mr.
Mackenzie King, showing all he was
doing on behalf of the laboring men
of Canada. One of our men in the
house, Mr. Henderson of Halton, got up
and said: "I understand that byt actual
measurement there are 10 cords of tbat
report on the eight-hour bill piled up in
the corridors of the house of commons."
Kill the Effect.
Those were practically being sent out
as campaign literature. But when they
brought in that bill in which they agreed
to give an eight-hour day on all public
works, they immediately proceeded to
bring down amendments destroying every particle of force or effect that the
bill would have. Of course we took
exception to a deception of tbat kind.
I am not going to deal with this at any
length because we have a still more important question before us, but merely
to flhow the attitude of the government
on that question I would like to show
you the position of the leader of the
government respecting that bill and the
position I took on that occasion. I do
this because as your representative I
think It my duty to do so as these hills
come up from time to time and it Ib
your right to know what I have done
and to criticize or condemn if you think
I have done wrong.
Now when this bill came up as I have
said, having given some little attention
to this question, and I want to be perfectly honest, I am frank to say
there was a time when there was some
degree of doubt in my mind os to
whether eight hours as a general limit
of time for labor would be to the Interests of the working men and the people
of Canada generally. I am glad to be
able to tell you tonight with equal
frankness that after careful study of
the situation I am absolutely convinced
as a matter of principle that such a law
Is in the best Interests of the people
of Canada. I base that on the record
Issued hy the minister of labor himself.
There are nearly SOO pages in that
volume and I took a great deal of pains
In going over that evidence before 1
made up my mind in regard to this
bill. That evidence was collected from
Australia, New Zealand,, the United
States and Great Britain. Professor
Skelton was engaged under salary by
the minister of labor to digest tbe evidence and bring in a report, and from
bis fair judicial report I have become
satisfied that the enactment of an eight-
hour law Is for the general benefit of
thla country, morally, physically, materially and intellectually. I was amazed
to learn from that report that in a large
class of industries the amount of production was not curtailed by a reduction in the hours of work. I was also
surprised to learn that the cost of production was not Increased In a very
large number of the industries Involved.
Of course In certain lines, for instance
ln some factories where a great deal of
or spinnng msrdlu cmfwyp shrdlu ra
machnery is used, Jet us say in a cotton

MR.  GOODEVE'S  SPEECH.
people of Nelson and, of the Kootenays generally that In Mr.- Goodeve
they bave one of .the ablest representatives and one of the most effective
speakers ln the present parliament. He
lias made a name for himself at Ottawa during the past three years as has
also Mr. Martin Burrell, member for
the adjoining constituency of Yale-Carl-
boo. Without in any reflecting upon
any other member or*- members from
British Columbia it can be truthfully
said that the people of tbe province as
a whole should be proud of these two
representatives, as undoubtedly are
their respective constituents.
The Dally News this morning presents to its readers a full report of
'Mr. Goodeve's speech in the Nelson
opera house on Friday evening, when
be dealt with the question of reciprocity, as well as with others of particular
interest to hla constituents. In doing
so Tbe News has no apologies to oiler.
Mr. Goodeve Is member of the House
of Commons for Kootenay, so that anything which be may have to say on any
public matter and the stand which he
has taken on the various issues whlcb
have come up in parliament since he
was elected should be of; interest to
all the people whom he represents,
whether or not they agree with him In
politics.
Of the speech itself there is no necessity to say anything. It is presented
for perusal and consideration by the
people of. Kootenay. No comments
that The Dally News might make
would add nny thing in clearness to
Mr. Goodeve's remarks. Attention, however, may well be directed ~to the an-
nbunced policy of the government on
the question of Asiatic immigration, as
Mr. Goodeve was able to show it is recorded in Hansard. The government's
attempt tip hoodwink the people of
Canada in regard to making compulsory an .eight-hour day on all public
works and the position which Mr. Goodeve took on this question are alBO
worthy of careful perusal. In regard
to reciprocity it is only fair that Mr.
Goodeve's views should be known and
fully understood by the people of Kootenay. These were made plain ln bis
speech Friday evening and it can he
said without possibility of successful
contradiction that they coincide -with
those of the vast majority of the people of British Columbia.
It perhaps did not require the delivery of this address to remind the

is speeded up and the man tending li
has to keep pace with tbe machines
then when the working bours are cut
down from ten to eight the production
falls off accordingly, because the man
was  speeded  up  to  the  limit by  tbe
machine and compelled to work at that
tremendous tension   and   strain;    hut
where the factor of the man's own energy and intelligence enters Into tbe result the judgment ol Prof. Skeltou was
that the eight hour limit did not either
curtail production or Increase the cost.
Now what was tbe altitude of the government?    Is it fair that they should
try to deceive the people on a matter
3iich as that?    If tbey were in favor
of the hill should they not say so, or if
not say so, but not bring in bills of
mat kind merely to misslead the people aud then have them destroyed.    I
may say frankly thai this hill as amended   had  practically   no   virtue,  and  it
was 'then sent up to tbe senate and duly
killed attd buried.   Yot the government
bem out this matter, advertising to the
working men of Canada that they were
introducing legislation in favor of short,
er hours of labor.   Now In speaking of
that  and  answering   Mr.   Verveil   and
the honorable MacKenzie King, I will
read  you  one  or  two extracts   showing the attitude I took.   "I understand
the  principle of  forty  bours of labor
per week in the same manner as it is
understood by my honorable friend the
member for Soutn Toronto and I agree
with him that the principle for which
the working men of this country have
been working would be destroyed If tbe
greed and selfishness of an individual
laborer were allowed for the sake of
increased salary or emolument to occupy   the  time Iwhtch  should  be  or
might be given to other men ln the
same class of labor.   I think that is
really the principle or one of the chief
principles which has been at the back
of tbe agitation in favor of shortening
the hours of labor.   I am also- satisfied
i mu the numerous resolutions that have
oeen referred to in this house in the
interests of labor refer not to the bill
before the house, hut the bill as origin-
ully Introduced by tbe member for Mais-
soneuve." This was when he Introduced
luo amended bill taking away the entire virtue of the act they proposed to
onng down.   Further on I Baid:   "But
i agree with tbe honorable member for
Toronto that the bill as now amended
uas practically no effect for the working men of Canada, not even the few'
individuals whom it purports to serve,
in subsection 2 of the bill we find tt is
limited in its operation to one class and
one only of government employees, but
even in this class as has been pointed
out the whole virtue bas been taken
away by that clause which says they
may be required to work longer.   The
original bill said they 'shall not be required or permitted.' "   But tbey struck
out the .word permitted and took away
all the penalty, therefore all the force
or effect of the bill   was   destroyed,
iheu I went on to say that would be
an  easy  and simple way  to  kill  the
bill.   There would be no restriction in
regard to it, and besides there would
oe an appeal to  the selfishness and
Individual greed of men,   whereas   If
there is any one predominant principle in unionism it is that great principle that the unions are endeavoring to
lift up all men to a higher plane, to
prevent one from Baying T am stronger physically or mentally, than you, I
can do more work and   earn   more
money, therefore I am willing to work
longer than you.'   Tbe whole basis of
unionism is  the  stretching out of a
helping band to the weaker brother.
Therefore 1 say we are not giving to
the working men of Canada that which
we are pretending to give them and
which they have been led to believe
we are about to give them.   In this I
am judging from the letters I have received from the various parts of the

better bill originally Introduced, which
really Involved some principle.

government.  'Here are his own words
trom Hansard: ■
"Sir Wilfrid' Laurier: I have no
doubt the labor elements, for which my
honorable friend from Kootenay seems
to speak, would prefer the bill originally Introduced in this house to the bill
in Its amended* form. But the Canadian
people are not composed only of the
working classes, there are others, and
those other classes object to the bill.
I can readily understand that the working classes would, welcome a measure
oven more drastic than tbat first in
'reduced, but there are other people
who have to be considered and they
will take the bill In an amended form
and be'willing to* accept less than they
would like to have."
"Mr. Goodeve: How does the right
honorable gentleman know they are
willing to take the amended bill, tbat
is the real point, he must know the
original bill was placed before the
people for their opinion and the amended bill was' hot."
Now in that attitude which I took at
that time I am glad to say I had the
support of practically all the working
men of Canada, and here it Is. I may
say to you, and I am very proud of it,
Mr. Rhodes, who Is tbe Conservative
member for one of the districts of
Nova Scotia, a wealthy ^nan and a large
employer of labor, the Rhodes Curry
company of which he is, I think, president, being the largest manufacturers
of railway cars in Canada, Mr. Rhodes
read a telegram' which had been sent
to him supporting the position we had
taken ln opposing the amendments to
this 8-hour bill, saying that such amend
ments would absolutely eliminate from
Its benefits thousands of employees of
the government, and urging that in the
matter of hours the government should
be the leader and not the follower.
That was signed hy the trades and
labor council, Smith and Scott, president and secretary respectively, the International Association of Machinists,
the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
Brotherhood of Blacksmith's Helpers,
Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron
Shipbuilders, International Boilerniu Iters' Helpers, Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, the Typographical union—all
those various unions there endorsed
the attitude we took at. that time in
regard to the bill. Yet the government
once more throttled the measure, and
sent it to the senate and there placed
It in the graveyard. So much then for
the labor legislation at the last session
of parliament.
Greatest Question of All.
Now I wish to deal with this greatest
question of the present time, a question which .1 consider so important
that I have had the honor and privilege
of addressing many meetlngB In Ontario
during the recess on that question. I
also went along the north shore of New
Brunswick, and I say honestly such ls
the interest of the people of Canada
that I did not address a singly meeting at which there was not standing
room only. It ls simply amazing how
this question has gripped tbe heaits
and minds of the whole nation. Tbey
are Btlrred up as they have never been
before. I do not think even the Introduction of the National Policy ln 1878
so stirred the people as they are stirred
today. They realize as we do that lt
means everything that is vital to the
destinies of this glorious country that
we call Canada. I have said 1*. is a
broad question. It is. And <t is one
that should be handled not In a parti-
zan manner, but In a broad and judicial
and fair manner, striving to look at
every side and try if we cannot find
out what is best for the inie-.'es'-.s cf
this country and the Empire. In dealing with it it has occurred to me that
probably It would be best to just take
tbe three main phases. There Ib the
question of its commercial effect , that
Is pure dollars and cents, or aB some
put it to you, "Never mind sentiment,
let's talk business." Very well If you
want hard cold facts we will speak of
it In a cold business way—if you think
there Is nothing in ideals, nothing in
Beutiment, nothing in the love of country, then we will lay'those things aside
and take the hard cold way, and deal
with the dollars and cents side of the
question and see "what there is in it"
for us. Then we will deal with it in
the broader and to my mind better way,
tho national side ot the question. And
after that a little broader yet, we will
reach out to the Imperial aspect and
see if we cannot gather in aU'these
grand dominions that are now assembled ln conference in the mother country where they have gone 'to do honor to our new king, and see if we too
in Canada do not after all think there
iB something In sentiment—(Applause)
see whether or not these traditions are
nothing to the hearts and minds of the
men and women of this land of ours.
Free Market Myth. '
Well the first thing they say to us
is "look at the market you are getting
on the other side, 90,000,000 of people,
a free market. Well let us see what
there Is in this 90,000,000 market they
are giving to the people of Canada, and
see just how we stand In regard to
that. Ninety million people and you
are getting a free market. Are we?
Last year we Imported into Canada
from the United Stattes 1223,000,000
worth of products, and they only took
from us $112,000,400. Last year we sent
out of these agricultural products that
they are about to make free only nine
per cent to the United States and 80
per cent to Great 'Britain. Of the animal products of Canada we exported only 20 per cent to the United States
and 77 per cent to Great Britain. Under the proposed tariff we would bave
let into Canaada last year $104,000,000
worth of goods and all we got free into
the United States was $33,000,000 worth.
The United States in the last 40 years
has doubled her population, trom 45,-
000,000 to 92,000,000— how much,bave
we Increased our trade with the United
States? Just $70,000. In agricultural
products 42 years ago we sent Into
the United States within $70,000 of the
amount of agricultural products that
we sent in in the year 1910. Yet they
tell you* of the great market we nre
getting In the United States.   The av-

Call In and Look Them Over
erage tariff of the United States against
the Dominion of Canada Is 42 per cent
and our average tariff against the United States ts only 26 per cent. So you
see this great market they are giving
us based on the statistics as we have
them jn the blue books Is all a delusion,
a myth,
I do not wish to weary you with figures, but I find, taking from the year
1807 to lti03, in the former year we
sent Into the United States outside ol
agricultural products $40,00(1,000 worth
of goods, while 30 odd years later, In
1003, we only sent in $48,000,000 worth.
In other words, during all those years
the market only increased for us to the
amount of ?8,000,000; yet during that
time the United States increased tbe
amount of goods sent Into Canada fivefold. In 1806 the United States sent
into Canada $28,000,000 worth of goods
and in 1903, with our little population
of only 6,000,000, the United States
sent Into Canada $137,000,000 worth.
Boot on the Other Foot.
So you see instead of the splendid
market we are supposed to be getting
for our goods In the United States the
boot Is all on the other foot. And we
have been giving them our market as.
against the very small return they have
given us. I cannot begin to go Into all
the facts ln this relation, but just as an
example to show how it works, take the
one Item of hog products. We in British
Columbia are interested in that. The
duty on lard coming Into Canada is 2
cents a pound and going into the United
States 1% cents. That is one of the few
items on which the duty Is higher on
the Canadian side than the American
aide, yet notwithstanding that, how
much lard do you think they sent into
Canada? Just $1,252,000 worth—and
Canada in the same period sent Into
the United States $2,500 worth. Those
are last year's figures. Of all other
products of hogs—ham, bacon, sides,
etc.—they sent into Canada $890,000
worth, while we sent into the United
States ?2fl,000 worth. Yet last year, aB
Hon. Mr. Taylor told you, we Imported
in dairy products, including those I have
named, $14,000,000 worth into this province alone. All those goods should be
the subject of Inter-provincial trade.
We should send out coal and timber
and fruit and get back from Alberta
and Saskatchewan its wheat and flour
and from the other provinces their
dairy products and other goods that we
require. But under this pact we shall
find the railways that Mr. Hill and his
friends send up here carrying our
golden grain to build up the American
milling Industry, and carrying back
from tbe south the other products we
require, and the interchange of goods
between the provinces will be lost.
Trade In Fruit.
How Is It in regard to fruit? Tbat Is
a question of vital Interest to every one
ln this district. The duty on apples Is
75 cents a barrel going into the United
States and the Canadian duty is 40
cents a barrel, but last year Canada
imported from the United States apples
to the value of $261,792, while we Bent
Into the United States $29,000 worth.
That shows the value to you of the
boasted 90,000,000 market. What was
the output of apples in Canada? Last
year we raised and exported apples to
the value of $4,417,000. Where did
they go? Twenty-nine thousand dollars'
worth to tbe United States and the
mother country took $4,184,700 worth.
(Applause.) Last'.year we brought Jn
peaches to the value ot $156,139, plums
to the value of $121,218, pears to tbe
value of $170,345, cherries $40,000, cranberries $91,000, berries of all kinds
$210,000, a total value In ripe fruits
alone of $1,205,000; and all we sent Into
the United States—that boasted market
of 90,000,000 people—waa $232,000, one-
fifth as much as they sent Into Canada.
Yet we have the prairie market—three
great provinces equal to an empire-—
that every week and every month and
every year is growing larger and larger,
and for all time to come they will never
be able to raise fruit, and are we rolne
to deliberately and voluntarily band
over that immense and rapidly growing
market to the fruit growers of Washington and Oregon and California?. No
wonder they say that we are like the
children of Israel looking back with
longing eyes to the bondage of Egypt,
turning away from this- fair promised

lean fiscal tariff?
The comparison holds the same all
down the line. Take vegetables—why,
they told me New Brunswick was in
favor of this pact, as they would then
be able to Bell their hay and potatoes
and so on in the great and profitable
markets of tbe large eastern United
States cities, One of the New Brunswick members, Mr.: Carvell, picked out
10 years and said: "I never remember
the time but once since I was a boy
when potatoes were higher on the
Canadian side than across the border,"
and he said this arrangement would be
the best thing that could happen for
the province of New Brunswick. Well,
I took his speech as reported in Hansard next morning and went into the
library and looked up the statistics.
Here they are: Out of the 10 years
that he himself selected, for six of the
10 we took more potatoes from the
United States than they did from us; in
other words, they were higher in price
In Canada than In the United States,
we were a better market for them than
they for us.
Pulp Wood Question.
Then taking the great question ol
pulp wood (it was a very interesting
thing for me to visit that old, historic
province and find tbat they are interested in many of the things that we
also are interested in; it waB my first
trip there, and that'is the beauty of
travelling over this grand Dominion of
ours—it grows on you day by day and
your wonder increases at its magnhi-
cence and grandeur and riches)—I visited those great mills down there (Rosser mills Ib the technical word). 1
found that the farmers of New Brunswick Bell their pulp wood at $4.50 a
cord, passing It through these mills,
stripping the bark off, cutting it into
certain lengths, take It to the ships
and carry it across the hay to the paper
mills of the United States, and when
they turn that pulp wood into wood
pulp they get from $18 to $25 a cord
for the same wood for which ou> farmer
got $4.50. They go a little further and
make it into chemical pulp, which
brings $35 to $40 a cord. The next step
Is to manufacture it into paper, and tt
brings from $75 to $100 a cord. The
farmer getB $4.50 a cord for the heritage nature has given him, and that our
fathers held by their blood, and the
American mechanic and artizan gets
the remaining $90.60, and that money
goes from the American artizan to the
American farmer and manufacturer.
Yet some people say that it is a good
thing for the Dominion of Canada.
What occurred in our own province?'
Here we have been for years trying to
get men to come and take hold ot these
great pulp forests we have, and bring
In capital and establish paper mills, and
the government of this' province in its
foresight and wisdom put an export
duty on any logs or pulp wood that goes
out of the province unmanufactured.
Ontario and Quebec did the same.. Men
came to New Westminster And built a
$400,000 mill and they sent a photograph of tbat to me, as they did to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, and they said: "If
this pact goes through we will never be
able to turn a wheel ln this mill. It la
utterly Impossible to manufacture paper
here with our small and limited market
against the competition of the old-established mills of the northwestern states
with their immense markets surrounding them." What was the answer of
Sir Wilfrid? "You are too late. We
must accept this pact, all or nothing."
Too late? Ib lt too late for the) people
of Canada to have a voice In their own
destiny?   Are we not to be consulted

than Russia; yet that is the position of
our pulp mills.
I was glad to learn that the province
of New Brunswick has taken a leaf out
of the book of the government of BritiBh
Columbia and imposed last session an
export duty on pulp wood—and the
people' of that province will no longer
see their pulp wood going across the
bay to the United StateB side to be

there and deliberately entered Into a
pact ln regard to this pulp wood question to hold a club over the heads of
the various provinces of Canada, compelling them to withdraw their export
duty. You would scarcely believe that,
nevertheless lt ls true.
What Taft Hopes For.
Here is what President Taft said In
that speech concerning tbat very thing:
"It Ib of the highest importance therefore to the manufacturers of print paper
In order-that they may secure their raw
material at reasonable prices to procure
the letting down of the ban in Canada
tor the exportation of pulp wood. The
.provinces of Canada have control over
the Crown landB, on which nine-tenths
of the pulp wood Is grown, and they
have Imposed restrictions and export
duties of various kinds. The Dominion
can exercise no control over the provinces ln regard to raising the restrictions upon the exportation of pulp
wood. It" In therefore provided in the
bill that when paper is made in Canada

export restrictions the paper may come
Into the United States free of dpty, but
on paper made from pulp wood grown

ON RECIPROCITY
(Continued from Page Four.)
plies, a duty of $5.75 per ton Is provided. It is therefore hoped that this
difference of $5.75 a ton In the duty
will Induce the provinces to lift their
restrictions."
And our ministers deliberately connive—I think that is the proper word—
at that method of dealing with the provinces which dare Bay that the ra*w
products of tbe country shall be manufactured In the country. In the face of
that I ask you—what your politics are
I care not if you are a Canadian—will
you stand for that kind of thing? That
is one ot the deals they made when they
went down to Washington, so you see it
Is not only in fruit hut in our lumber
and pulp wood, as well as our agricultural and animal products that they are
endeavoring to barter away our birthright. Let me also deal for a moment
with the question of barley—not weary
you with statistics— hut It is sufficient to say that when they said, "We
will put a duty of 30 cents' a bushel on
barley and destroy the Canadian trade
In barley"—-at that time Canada was
producing 26,000,000 bushels ot barley
of which 10,00.0,000 bushels were exported to the United States, How much
do you think we grew last year? We
grew 55,000,000 bushels. What did we
do with it? Tasked that question tn a
farm audience and one old farmer Bald,
'We fed it." Of course we did, and for
every bushel of barley that we fed we
drew down $1-12,' or more than twice
the price that could be got for the barley in any market, and In addition we
had the by-products to enrich our farms.
Can I prove that? Yes; a Guelph college professor said it takes 3% pounds
of barley to feed a pound of pork, the
average price of which la 7 cents. At
that rate you get for your barley $1.12
a bushel. Therefore the closing of the
American market did not cause the ruin
of the barley crop,- but on the contrary
caused it to produce a better price and
raise the mortgages off our farms bo
that our farmers are better off today
hy far than when they sold their barley
to the United States.
How Wheat Is Affected.
Now, in regard to wheat. Perhaps it
might be thought I should not talk
wheat to a Nelson audience, but I know
you are broad enough and big enough to
look at this great question from all
sides; you are looking at lt as Canadians as well as British Columbians.
Sir George Rosa has not yet come out
openly, though 1 ana not sure be will
not do so, against this reciprocity. Sir
George Ross was for many years the
leader of tbe Liberal government In
Ontario and Is now the leader of the
senate at Ottawa, and I oan tell you
that personally he ls opposed to this.
I What does be say about lt? He says
he does not believe tt Ib in'the best interest of Canada. "That.we must not
i forget   that the exchange of certain
articles, may, Involve a great deal more
than appears on the surface; for instance, abolishing the duty on wheat
on both sides of the line looks fair
enough, but to accept an offer of that
kind pure and simple would ln my opinion be a bad bargain for Canada. I
believe that the longer the American
tariff Is maintained the better for us,
Canadian wheat Ib the best ln the world
and commands the highest price. It
would be impossible to maintain Its
identity in passing through tbe American elevators, and Canada would be
the loser to the extent of the reduction
In price."
Those are not my words, hut the
words of Sir George Ross. Mr. Knox,
who ts the efficient representative of
the United States In connection with
this treaty, spoke words that are pregnant with meaning to the people of the
Dominion of Canada. This is from the
official document Issued by the United
States government. He says: "In providing for free wheat we also took into
account the facilities that the United
States possesses for handling the surplus Canadian crop and thus preventing
the demoralization of prices hy placing
the control in the hands of our own
grain growers, not the Canadian grain
growers."
Yet we have the gram growers of
the west going to Ottawa and asking the
government to establish terminal elevators. Why? Because they say the
wheat speculator grades up our high
class No. 1 wheat to the highest point
possible, hut as soon as he gets It in
the elevator he mixes No. 2 with it as
much as it will stand, so that when It
goes to Liverpool It will barely pass as
No. 1, but the price Is probably reduced
2 or 3 cents a bushel because It Is not
the clean, high-grade No. 1 that the
farmer sold. That difference amounts
to millions nnd millions of dollarsi that
Is lost to the Canadian farmer in every
crop; therefore he aBks that the government own these elevators»»and prevent that mixing. But in the face of
that, If this pact goes through that,
wheat will go out of the control of the
Canadian government and the Canadian
grower into the hands of the "unscrupulous American grain speculator."
These are not my. words but the
words of the grain growers themselves
who asked that this be done in order
"to deliver us from the hands of the
American speculators who for ;J0 years
have learned all the tricks of the trade."
British Columbia's Interest.
And the grain growers said something
elBe of vital importance to the people
of this province. "The reasons are even
more urgent in respect to the Pacific
coast than have been advanced for acquiring those at Port William and Port
Arthur, The reasonable and logical
way for the grain produced in Alberta
and western Saskatchewan to find Its
market is via what has been termed
the western route. The large development that is bound to take place ln
British Columbia assures us that a
large proportion of the products of
Alberta will find their market ln that
province." They look to send their
wheat via British Columbia when the
Panama oanal is opened—there is no
question that will be the shortest way
to the world's markets. What will be
our* position then? Why, the Minneapolis miller, and Jim Hill, and every
thinking man who knows anything
about it says that where the wheat of
the Canadian northwest Is ground there
will be the mills of the world. I ask
you then, are you going to voluntarily
hand over the mills of the world to the
millers of the United States, or are you
going to keep them at Kenora and Fort
William and Port Arthur and elsewhere
in Canada? Are we to grind our own
wheat or have it ground for us in Minneapolis? Have we built four transcontinental railways, have we the greatest
inland waterway in the world, have we
spent hundreds of millions of dollars
and the energies of the people of Canada since 1807 to build up this trade,
and shall we now hand It over to those
who in the days of our poverty (Sir
George Ross says) turned from us and
shut the door in our faces? Men look
back now to the days of 1854-18C6 and
shudder. They know that our fathers
Bald when that market was lost to them,
"What Bhpll we do?" But then you
must remember that Great Britain was
six weeks or two months from our
ports; you must remember we were a
poor and scattered people, living en the
fringe of the frontier; but today we ore
a great people with highly developed
transportation facilities, the British
market Is open to ub, and today the city
of Nelson Is nearer to Liverpool than
Montreal or Halifax was then. At that
time, when we took over the old Upper
and Lower Canada railways and named
them the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, Great Britain lent us £3,000,000
to develop that road in order that we
might bring In the trade of our scattered people, and that the. trade of what
was then the western province of Canada, Ontario, might find Its way to the
markets of the world. It Is true we
got high prices from '61 to '.7 because
of the civil war, but '57 to 'fll saw the
hardest times. that Canada has ever
known—you who have studied Canadian history will know that. But today these things are changed, and once
more they are back knocking at the
door of Canada. For our advantage?
No. They have aald to the people of
the west, "You will get higher prices
for your wheat." J. J. Hill, who has
perhaps the beat facilities, for getting
statistics of any man on this continent
today, has pointed out that there Ib a
greater difference between the prices
of wheat In the various states of the
Union than there Is between Canada
and the United States; but the market
that rules the price of wheat for the
world Ib Liverpool, because tt takes the
surplus of the world; but the larger
the home market the higher the price.
Why? Supposing Canada consumed all
the wheat she grows, and that the
United States did. the same, then Great
Britain would be dependent on India
and Argentina and Russia and certain
other wheat-growing countries for her
needs. But as there would he leas
wheat coming Into the Liverpool market bo would prices be higher .there,
and we would get that higher * price.

At Best Shops
The home market is the best market for
every producer. That Ib the market we
must build up for our manufactures.
And as I have dealt with these statistics
so I could take every line of grain,
food products and manufactured articles
and demonstrate to you from the blue-
books of the Dominion of Canada that
In every case we would be giving away
a market of far greater value than that
we are getting. But there is another
Bide to the question. When the United
States made this bargain they made it
with Canada alone. But our men, when
they went down there, gave away freely
and voluntarily and without a cent of
return our trade with practically all
the nations of the world. Once more I
venture to ask your attention to one
or two more extracts.
Favored   Nation   Clause.
President Taft Is speaking again. Referring to the most favored nation
clauses of the agreement lie pays:
'The agreement is specific on certain
points, and cannot be varied without
violating the pact itself. To do so
would open up the problem of the most
favored nation clauses In the treaties
with other countries, and while thc-
Unlted States would get no concession
from Canada by reducing the rate tht
application of those rates to other countries the president holds might lee in
Argentina moats and Australian muttatt,
which he believes would be a real injury to the farmers of the United
States."
And President Taft refused to reduce
the duties on the articles in question
because by so doing he might be compelled to let in other favored nations
and the United States would get nothing
in return. But what did our men do?
They went down there and they made
thiB pact, and by making It they allowed to enter our markets 12 other
nations, all of which export the same
products that we export and grow, and
those nations will come Into our markets absolutely free, while they have a
high protective tariff against everything that we could send into their country. Those countries are: Argentina,
Austria-Hungary, Bolivia, Colombia,
Denmark, Japan, Norway, Russia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and Venezuela.
Let me tell you something: In the year
1878 Argentina was Importing wheat
for Its own consumption; In the year
1910 Argentina sent one-quarter of the
total food products that were imported
into the United Kingdom. The United
States sent last year 33 per cent of the
total food products Imported by the
United Kingdom, yet that country is
allowed to come into our markets absolutely free. We took the trouble to
write to the Canadian Pacific railway
company and this is what we found:
the rate from Argentina to Halifax is
5% cents a bushel, but the cost of taking wheat from St. John or Halifax to
Argentina is 10% cents a bushel. Did it
ever occur to you that with all our
boasted production of wheat there are
only three provinces in Canada that
produce an amount in excess of their
own consumption, that is available for
export? Ontario last year consumed
31,000,000 bushels and only - produced
18,000,000; she imported 13,000,000
bushels. Now I have given you theBe
figures; they are burdensome, but if we
get on a platform and merely make
assertions we find ln the Liberal newspapers next morning in big headlines,
Oh, yes, we had a lot of hot air last
night but no facts."
Figures Are Convincing.
I could go on quoting statistics to
the same effect for another hour, but
I am sure what hoe been said Ib sufficient to convince every reasonable man
that from the pure commercial standpoint It is against the Interests of Canada to enter Into this pact. What does
It mean letting in these 12 favored nations? It means 12 American farmers
against one Canadian farmer, or taking
all these other countries as well it
means a productive territory three
times larger than our own to compete
with in the home market, a foreign
population 40 times as great as our owu
to compete with us, and every one of
|>them living behind high protective
walls; it means one acre of Canadian
-land against four acres of outside land;
It means one Canadian farmer against
50 foreign farmers. Those are the conditions that face us as the result of
thlB pact.
"Parting of the Ways."
I would like to take for my text for the
reBt of this address these words of Preal-,
dent Taft, when he said: "We have come
to the parting of the ways." I want you
to clearly apprehend what he meant by
that. I read In the newspapers on Friday,
April 21, a report of an addreBB delivered
by President Taft to one of the greatest
associations I suppose for the spread of
knowledge on the face of the earth today,
the American Newspaper association and
the American Press association, at the
Waldorf Astoria, New York, Every word
that Is Bpoken of any public Interest on
any platform on this continent Is flashed
throughout the length and breadth of the
civilized world bv these associations. Words
spoken In one city tonight are read in far-
off India and Australia In the morning.
On an occnslon like that President Taft
was careful of his words, his speech was
carefully prepared. Hero ts the summing
up of that Bpeech made before thoso great
associations, and let every Canadian give
heed to Ills words, and then think whether
or not he Is prepared to vote tor this
reciprocity so-called: "In "conclusion," the
president said, "I have said this Is the

WESTMINSTER IS
DEFEATED AGAIN
Lose Second Game of,. Series to Con
Jones' Star  Easterners—Score
Six to Three,
VANCOUVER, B.C., June 11.—The New
"Westminster lacrosse champions went down
to their second defeat here yesterday,
Vancouver winning the third league contest by six goals to three. While not as
brilliant as last Saturday's match, ln
which Vancouver scored their first victory
over the Royals by four goals to two, lt
was very fine and fast lacrosse, particularly In the first quarter, when Con Jones"
all-star aggregation annexed four of their
six goals.
Of these, Lalonde scored three ln spectacular style, the first In half a minute
from the opening of the game. After
this, Howard, of the Royals, was given
the task of checking Lalonde and did the
work effectually, for Lalonde, while ably
assisting In Vancouver's remaining scores,
could make no more.
AU Vancouver's star easterners did brll-
llan work, Ion and Carter playing a great
game. The feature of the match was the
magnificent work of the Vancouver home,
who outplayed the Royals for the first
time this season.
Vancouver lined up the same as last
Saturday, while New Westminster was entirely shifted. Howard was moved In next
to goal. Galbraith was dropped ln favor
of Tom Rennle. Wintemute was given
the task of looking after centre field. Cliff
spring was moved In on the home. Barlow
Galbraith of New Westminster appeared
as referee for the first time In several
years.
In the first quarter, with Lalonde practically unchecked and one score by Fitzgerald added to Lalonde* three, and a
cipher for the champions, Vancouver had
It all their own way.
The Westminster team was re-arranged
fo rthe second quarter, Cliff Spring going
back to centre and Howard undertaking
to watch Lalonde. This re-arrangement
resulted in a big imp rovement for the
champions and made the play In this
quarter very close. Len Turnbull scored
the only goal In this quarter. Cliff Spring
got the only goal in the third quarter, and
the Royals and Vancouver took one each
In the last quarter.
The attendance was 10,000. The next game
Is at New Westminster next Saturday.

In Finals of Mixed Double Tournament—Interesting Matches,
The tennis tournament on Saturday was
a great success. 12 couples having entered
for the mixed doubles, "A" and "B" and
played on the American system.
In class "A" Miss McFarland and A. H.
Rhodes, with a handicap of 16, played
splendidly all through, but they were very
nearly beaten by Miss Broadwood and W.
Baker who, with a good score of 20 In five
matches, were only one point behind. Next
to them came Miss Glgot and R. M. .Balmer with a total of 17. Miss Glgot lias
shown great Improvement since the beginning of the season.
In class "B" Miss G. Cooper and G, B.
Wickes, with a handicap of 16, made the
top score of 16. Miss McFarland and W.
H. Pbipps came very olose with a total
of 14 to their credit. Miss F, Johnstone
and W. H. Swan put up a very good
game against Miss Cooper and G, B.
Wickes, their score being three games
each.
The final game, winners of class "A",
Hiss E. McFarland and A. H. Rhodes,
versus the winners of class "B", Miss G.
Cooper and G. B. Wickes, resulted In a
Win for the former after a severely contested game, which had to be decided by
a final game, each having three games
to their credit. In the play-off the winners had in their favor the service, but
this was counterbalanced by having *"
change courts and face the sun.

PRETTY ORE FROM
LOST AND FOUND
Joe  the  Turk   Brings   Samples   Into
Ymli^—Work Progressing on Various Properties.   *-
(Special to The Dally News.)
YM&R^.C., June 11.-—Good work is
being done on the Mint, a very promising property on the northwest of the
Ymlr mine, owned by Bremner brothers
and Billy Lavigne. Thirty feet of drif-
ing on the lead has been completed, and
lt looks better after every shot. Assays
on this property range from $17 to $140,
and it is a -milling and concentrating
proposition. A road to thts and other
adjoining properties in the locality ls
badly'needed, as the only trail that has
ever 'been made is a very crude one,
ma,de entirely .by the different prospectors interested.
A email force of men are employed
ion the ■ Bl-Metalllc, located about two
and one-half miles from town. About
150 feet of croBscuttlng has been completed, and a lead'of 25 feet on the
surface exposed, with every Indication
of much greater width below. This
property is about 1,500 feet from the
Ymlr mine wagon road, and about 2,500
feet above Wild Horse creek, Ib largely
free milling, and ls owned by George
Bremner and G. H. Bull. Assays from
■across the face of the lead show an
average value ot about $16 in gold.
Assessment work is being done on
the Old-Timer, and adjoining claims, located on -the extreme head of the north
fork of Wild Horse creek. Considerable
work In the way of open cuts and surface work has been done. Assays from
this property average approximately $12
per ton, and the ore is strictly free
milling.
D. E. Grobe knocked off a piece of
rook recently from a claim of his located near the Wilcox that assayed
$29.60, pretty good for a surface showing.
Joe Vthe Turk" brought in a few
pieces ot rock Friday from the Lost
and Found, adjoining the Sterling group,
that was a pretty sight. The samples
showed.free gold pretty freely, and if
the rest of the property is equally as
good, Joe has struck It rich. Joe does
inot know yet just what to think of it.
He has not done enough work on the
claim to tell with any degree of certainty.

KOOTENAY MEMBER
ON RECIPROCITY
(Continued   from   Page   Five.)
critical time In the BO|utIon of the reciprocity question, rt is critical because unless ItJs now decided favorably to reciprocity it Is exceedingly probable that the
opportunity will never again come to the
United States, the forces which are now
at work ln England and In Canada tending
to separate her by a Chinese wall from
the United States and to make her part
of an imperial commercial bund reaching
from England around the world to England, again by q, system of preferential
tariffs, will derive an impetus from the
rejection Of this treaty, and If we are to
have reciprocity with all the advantages
that I have described and that I conscientiously and sincerely believe will follow
Its adoption, we must take It now or give
It up forever."
"The forces which are at work . . .
to make her part of an imperial commercial band reaching from England around
the world and back to England again," Is
there any higher ideal for the* Canadian
people, any higher ideal for an imperial
Eeople than that, "an imperial commercial
and reaching from England around the
world and back to England again"? That
Is tho interpretation, not of myself, but
of the president of the United States. He
Bays: "Give nw this pact now or we shall

r be able to separate Canada from tho
mother country." if we have reciprocity
now we are placing a wedge which will
gradually widen the distance between and
eventually force nsunder Canada and the
mother country, until Canada shall, in the
words of the leader of the government
himself, "drop like a rlpo fruit from the
parent tree." That Is the aim and object
of every American today; you may sav
bosh," as President Taft said "bosh," yet
his own argument proves it.
What It All Means.
I will take you to Prof. Schulze-Gaever-
nltz, the greatest economist In the world
today, of Berlin university, and what doea
he say? "A trade Zollvereln means commercial union; such a union would lead
to politicol suicide for Canada, who would,
lose tbe political Identity which she has'
developed and of which she Is so Jealously
proud."
Senator Beverldge said exactly the same
thing: "Once the policy \s established and
proved to be a good thing for the two
nations, the vast pressure of economical
forces will compel further reductions on
articles not already free, a general equalization ever tending toward complete liberty
of commerce between the two countries."
I picked that up going to a meeting In
Sarnla, at which we spoke to 1,100 people,
and we were told that there were fully
as many more outside unable to gain admittance, showing the keenness of the
Interest taken by the people ln this question throughout the length and breadth of
Canada,
Then there Ib Champ Clark, who stands
In a position of even greater power in the
United States than the premier in this
Dominion, almost stronger than that of the
King himself In our imperial country, who,
aB chairman and speaker of the house, Ih
the dictator of the administration, who
spoke, some would have you believe ln
laughter, but do you think a man occupying that prominent position which he
has recently attained after coveting lt and
working for it for many years and making
one of the greatest speeches of his life,
would stand there and joke with a question
of such grave importance? No. In all
seriousness and earnestness he said, "If
we can force this pact through it means
the floating, of the Stars and Stripes over
the whole of this North American continent."
The same conviction is expressed by
Senator Sherman, who said, "We made a
mlBtake in fighting them, the -way to
union with Canada Is not by hostile legislation, not by acts of retaliation, but by
friendly overtures. This union is one of
the events that must inevitably come In
the future."
Are You Prepared to Do It?
Those are the opinions of the president,
the senators, the congressmen, of the
United States. I could read you record
after record, and extract after extract
from their speeches in the- house, we
have the opinion of the greatest economist
of today; we have proof also In the history
of the great German empire--' What has
gathered Into one those great Independent
states? It Is the force of the commercial
tariff, and that is the tendency of all such
unions; I say to you tonight then, are you
prepared voluntarily and of your own accord to turn the trade of your country
from Its great ports of St. John and Hall-
fax, Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver,
and hand It over to Boston, New York,
Chicago, Portland and San Francisco? I
think not. After building our great railways and canals are we going to send our
commerce to the railways of the United
States? I believe not. I believe we shall
be true to our record, true to our Ideals,
to the traditions that have been handed
to ub and the heritage that Is entrusted*
to our care. We will remember that when
the door was slammed In their faces our
forefathers straightened their backs, drew
another hole in their belts, and said "If
they will not trade with us we will create
a trade of our own, and we will build a
nation p_n the northern half of thia great

continent." They have succeeded, and today the eyes ot the world are on Canada-
from all parts of the world they are flocking to share our riches and our work in
huge numbers; the mighty ships are filled
with people coming to have part in our
heritage. In our weakness we were shielded and sheltered by the mother country;
she lent -us her wealth, she guided us with
her strength and nursed us in our infancy.
Now are we to shut that all out of our
minds? Did time permit, I could show the
effect of this pact on the BritiBh preference; I have all the facts and. statistics
taken from Independent sources, but the
hour Is late. Mr. Fielding himself, although when he brought the pact down,
said, "the underlying principle of our
trade relation shall be the British preference." Tet later on, when he realised
what had been given, and .was questioned
on the subject, said that any additions to
the preference would be slight and trifling.
Effect of Pact.
The effect' of this pact is to gradually
force tie away and separate us from our
relation to the mother country. There are
those who think there may be a few cents
falned here and there throughout Canada,
am not here on this platform to say that
with a territory stretching 4,000 miles,
from the Atlantic to thts Pacific, along an
Imaginary line, there will not be times
and places on either side of the border
when prices will not vary here and there,
ln one year and another, but I say the
question for the people of Canada Is not,
Shall we build up one province at the expense of another? but Shall we stand true
to <the Ideals that have been handed down
to ub, building up this great Dominion, e
great route between Europe and the Oriental nations, now awakening to the
civilisation of the west? Year afteryear

live true to Its Ideals, true to the traditions that have been handed down, and
stand true to our national Ideals. Much
has been done. Since 187* we have grown
day by day in strength and power and
wealth, and today we stand the peer ot
the countries of the world. Then, like a
bolt from the blue, with no mandate, no-
word from the people of Canada, contrary to the very promises and pledgee
given without number by the premier himself and every member of that government; without a word, I say, to the people
of Canada, they come now and would
