Among these resolutions dealing with an extension of tho lead bounty\nand for a better system for dealing with\nfreight rates and classifications will, if\nacted upon by the proper authorities, prove\nof lasting udvantage to this ticctlon of the\ncountry.\nThere were present F.

The new\ntariifs so far as published were discussed\nand some comparisons as to new ratea\nmnde by secretary E. K. Beeston. The\nmain question, as viewed by your committee was the lowering of incoming freight\nrates to this point. At the present time\nwe are paying on certain commodities a\nrate from eastern points of $1.20, as against\nCO cents on thc same goods from the same\npoints to the coast. Thi* applies uiopo,-\ntlonntcly on all commodities, and your committee considers that this Is a gross discrimination and Is not ln accordance with\nthe intention of the railway commission\nthat all freight handled from and to all\npoints he placed on  a mileage trials.\nThe question of water competition to\ncoast points was discussed but no reasonable argument for yuch u vast difference\nIn rates was advanced.\nThe following resolution was passed un-\nantomusly: \"Resolved that the secretary\n(be Instructed to write on behalf of the\nfreight rates committee to the chairman of\nthe railway commission stating that they\nhad prepared statements showing the injustice which the Kootenay district suffered from the Inward bound freight rates\nand that they learn that new tariffs had\nbeen lsued. So far they have been unable\nto obtain copies of all these new tariffs\nnnd huve not been Informed how fur thn\nnew tariffs will affect them, .but have\nevery reason to believe they will not he\nbenefitted. When they have received copies\nof the new tarlffH they will forward for\nthe consideration of the commission a\nstatement of their case.\"\nYour commltte appreciates the fact that\noutgoing rates are lowered to local point.,\nbut can see that no gain Is mnde In thi-\nrespect as the coast rates are lowered\nto the same points and to such an extent\nthat the wholesale trade of Vancouver can\nland goods at points tributary to Nelson\nand which arc produced in the east, cheaper than from our own city.\nAs this is a matter which affects all of\nthe country tributary to Nelson I would\nstrongly recommend thut the mutter be\nbrought to the attention of tho associated\nboards at their annual meeting which is\nto be held In the near future.\n*H, G. GOODEVE, Chairman\nL. Pratt presented the following memorial to Hon. Wm. Templeman, which\nhas been signed by the principal lead mine\nowners and for which he asked the endorsement of the briardl\nWe, the undersigned, who have been producers of lead ore since the Inception of\nthe lead bounty act, respectfully address\nyou, as representing the mining Industry of\nthe dominion, and request your favorable\nconsideration of the following memorial\nand further, that you flavor us by brlngng\nthe same to the attention of the right honorable, the premier and your colleagues\nof the  cabinet:\n1. That said lead bounty hns. by Insuring a stable minimum price, been most\neffective and beneficial to the lead mining\nindustry, with lt to the smelting and manufacturing industries nnd consequently to\nthe general commerce of the dominion.\n2. That such results huve been produced\n>y a relatively small expenditure, as was\nanticipated, and as was represented when\nthe original request for consideration was\nmade w the government. Out of $2,000,000\noriginnlly voted to be expended In the\nperiod of bounty terminating 30th June\nnew, but W\u00ab,976,03 have been expanded up\nto 1st  He-ember, 1W7.\nS. That on account of thc high tariff\non lead ores and Its products, still Imp-red\nby the United States government (which\nIt was anticipated might have been reduced ere this) of the recent Imposition\nby said government of a prohibitory duty\non our zinc ores, a produorof oar lead\nbearing veins, thus deriving us of u\nsource of revenue and of the fact that the\nlead consuming  capacity  of   Cnnada   has\nnot Increased proportionately to our output, since the Inception of thc bounty, we\nBhall at the expiration of said bounty\nperiod, be still unable to rely on a stable\nminimum prloe for our lead, sufficient to\nJustify Its production In the form of ore\nand the large expenditures on exploration\nand development work necessary to maintain our mines and wtth them the entire\nlead Industry of  otnodu.\nThat without such a stable minimum\nprice we cannot produce our ores, during\nperiods of low prices in the world's market,\nwhich governs the market of Canada and\nwith such Intermittent production the Inducement to exp-nd the necessary large\nBums In exploration und development will\ncease to exist consequently the present ore\nreserves In our mines will be exhausted\nand with them the lead mining Industry.\n6. That with the United States tariff\nand the consuming capacity of Canada as\nat present, the necessary stable minimum\nprice can only be assured by a continuance of the present lead bounty or by an\nextraordinary Increase In \\hx? \/xlstlng;\nCanadian tariff on lead and its products.\nThe undersigned therefore respectfully\nrequest that tho lead bounty uct be extended for a further period of five years\nwith an expenditure not to exceed $500,000\nln any one year.\nT. G. Procter moved that a resolution,\ncarefully worded, be adopted, embodying\nthe  views   of the  memorial.\nJ. J, Cambepll second asking, however,\nthat sight should not be lost of the fuct\nthat a tariff on lead would be the more\nlogical way of treating the matter.\nThis passing, Messrs. T. G. Procter, J.\nJ. Campbell and L. Pratt drew up the following resolution which will be presented\nat the associated boards.\nThut this board approves of the petition\nwhich has been signed by all the principal\nlead producers of thlB section, asking the\ndominion government to extend the lend\nbounty for another period of five years\nufter the expiration of the present term,\nrecognizing that the attitude of the government Is more favorable to this method \u00ab>f\nrelk'f than to the readjustment of he\ntariff, which this board lias .always felt\nnnd still maintains would he the most effective assistance to placing both tho\nlocal lead mining and smelting Industries\nupon u firm busts.\nTliat this board recognizes thnt with\nthe present condition of the markets there\nIs dangff of a number of producers being\ncompelled to close down with a disastrous\neffect upon thc commercial Interests of\nthis section of the counry mul that a copy\nof this resolution be forwarded to W. A.\nGalliher, M.P., wtth a request that It he\ncommunicated to the proper authorities\nand that he use his endeavors to obtain\nthe granting of the petition, nnd that a\ncopy of this resolution be sent to the\nboards of trade belonging to the associated boards of limb: Witli a request tor\ntheir co-operutlon nnd that our deUgati\nbc instructed to endeavor to secure the\npassage of u similar resolution at the annual convention of that body.\nMoved by A. W. Dyer nnd seconded by\nF. J. Deane: Resolved thut whereas there\ncan be no better moans of strengthening\nthe link, of empire than hy the freest possible dissemination of news of oil Its parts\nthroughout the whole, nnd, whereas,, during tho past year various boards of trade\nund chambers of commerce have endorse,!\nthc view and urged the creation of an imperial press service, wliich Is already receiving the at tent ton of thfl London press;\nbe It, therefore, resolved _hut the dominion government be urged to further help\nIn this matter hy placing the Canadian\nPress Bureau In London on a more efficient footing, both from the literary and\nfrom the flnanctnl standpoint..\nThis then passed und will be submitted\nto the associated hoards.\nOther such resolutions wero then passed,\nthe first being moved by F. J. Deane and\nseconded by H. G. Goodeve; \"That in the\nopinion of thts board agricultural crown\nlnnds along the railways and along suoh\nsttreams where settlement will quickly follow, should lie surveyed as quickly as possible and maps and full particulars of the\nsurveyed lands be prepared for distribution, said lunds to be disposed of to bona\nfide settlers not to speculators.\" This\nwas carried after a brief discussion, the\nmatter speaking for itself.\nIt was then moved by II. G. Goodeve\nand seconded by W. H. Jones that \"the\nassociated boards of tinde take steps to\nprosecute before tho rnilway commission\nof Canada, the case of the district for\nlower freight rates, particularly those\nfrom -points in eastern Cunadu, which nre\nnow so high that the cost of living and of\nsupplies for the prosecution of Industries\nare unduly enhanced und the settlement\nof the district nnd the development of its\nresources ure materially retarded. Thnt\nthe associated boards puts lt.elf on record\nas opposed to the principle of distributing\ncentres and distributing freight rates, but\nmaintain that freight rates bc made as\nnearly ns possible on a mileage basis, the\nsnme from whatever points goods are shipped, leaving each town to profit from the\nadvantages of Its situation. That thc ft*-\nsoclutacd boards condemns us unfair and\nunn\u00ab.onablc the present freight classification In the goods of approximately equal\ncost, weight und dimensions, nre put in\ndifferent cIhssph nnd the arrangement Is\nsuch us restricts very much the making\nup of curloud lots und even of packing\ngoods of similar nature in the same cluss.\"\nE.

W. S. Fielding\u2014My hon, friend\nthc leader of the opposition (Mr. R. tT\nBorden) has had something tn any on tint\nquestion \u00bbr the provincial subsidies. Iu\nIlls Speech Ut the IlU-sell theatre tho other\nnight liv said that I had had Hie audacity\nto speak of his action In British Columbia\ntouching Hie subsidy to Hint province us\nan attempt to bribe the province, I said\ntliat, und I regret that I am obliged to\nadhere to the opinion I expressed. There\nls no doubt lu tin- world that the attitude\nof tim hon. gentleman on thnt question\nwas a most unfortunate, a most unhappy\n\"one, calculated to breed trouble amongst\nthe several provinces of Canada. Let us\nglance at the history of these provincial\nsubsidies. Twenty years ago an agitation\nbegan amongst the provinces for an Increase of their allowances. The men engaged in dominion affairs can easily imagine that It is not necessary to have a\ngreater provincial .revenue; but the men\nwho had been engaged In the provincial\nlegislatures\u2014and then, are many of them\nhere\u2014'know how restricted those legislatures have been In their operations because of the lack of finances. I do not\nwish to discuss the merits of our system\nof provincial subsidies, it is enough to\nsay lhat all the provinces of the dominion\ncomplained that the share which they received from the public treasury was insufficient to enable them to carry on thel''\nbusiness and that they appealed to the\ndominion government for a readjustment.\nWhen the conservative government was In\npower, they declned to listen to that appeal.    Years   rolled   on,   and,   even   after\nthe liberal party came into power, tliere\nwere difficulties in the way of meeting\nthe wishes expressed by the provinces.\nBut, after a time, this government said\nto the provincial premiers: If you are\nable to agree among yourselves as to the\ndistribution of this money, perhaps we\ncan meet your views. Now that was a\nvery reasonable proposition. This subsidy\nquestion has been one of the most delicate\nwith which public men have had to deal\nsince the establishment of confederation.\nI remember very well that when what Is\ncalled \"better terms\" were granted In 1869,\nto Nova Scotia, there was a very strong\nfeeling of hostility In Ontario. Ontario\nwas too big a province to feel tho small\namount which was given to Nova Scotia,\nbut it was strongly disposed to claim\nthat the granting of tho sum was a\nbreach of faith,\u2014tliat these subsidies\nwere In the nature of a treaty and should\nnot be distributed except by common consent of the provinces. And, as years\nwent on, and some grant was given\u2014ifor\ngood reasons\u2014to one or other of the provinces, there was a feeling of Jealousy, or\nrivalry; and no province has manifested\nthat so strongly as the province ot Ontario. Not that Ontario wou d care\u2014as\nI   have   said\u2014about   the   small   sum   In\nvolved, for Ontario ls a great rich province, too big to think of that; but the\nmen ln Ontario took it as a matter of\nprinciple, that these subsidies; were a\ntreaty between the various provinces and\nshould not be disturbed except by common consent. Bo When we came to d* ai\nwith this matter with the provincial governments, we .said: We do not want to\nmake difficulties, to cause dissatisfaction\nand Jealousy aiid rivalry. But If your provincial governments wll come together\nand reach something like a unanimous\nagreement as to the distribution of tliis\nmoney, we wtll lake the matter up and\nsee what we can do for you. And to that\nend a provincial convention was held In\nthis city about a year ago. As a result\nof that conference, a scale ot payments\nwas adopted for the several province-.\nNow, I turn to the attitude of my hon.\nfriend the leader of the opposition in\nBritish Columbia. He goes to Biltish\nColumbia und tries to disturb the ur.ange-\nment made at that conference amongst\nthe provincial premiers of tlie dominion.\n1 complain of the hon. gentleman In thi--,\nnot only that what he did was a disturbance in Itse f, but that he conveyed the\nImpression to tihe people of British Columbia that this was a quarrel between tlie\nBritish Columbia government and tlie liberal party. He tiled to lead the people\nof British Columbia to believe that they\nwere being oppressed by the government\nof my right hon. friend (sir Wilfrid\nLaurier) and that when the lion, gentleman himself (Mr. R. L. Borden) und his\nfriend- came Into power, they would\ngrant relief from this thing that tho\nliberals were doing. That is the chief\noffence that I lay at his door. He knows\nhe was not fair, lie was not candid in so\nspeaking. Who composed'this convention'.'\nWho agreed to this scheme of dlstiibu-\ntion? Foremost among them was tlie\nprime minister of the conservative province of Ontario. All the governments of\nthe dominion are not In harmony with\nthe dominion government ot today; uud\nI suppose that lt is not at all likely that\nall the provincial governments will be lu\nharmony with the dominion government\nat any time. We hud at this conference\nIn Ottawa, Mr. Whitney, the premier of\nOntario; Mr. Foy, attorney general; Mr.\nMatheson, treasurer, We liad Mr. Roblln,\npremier, nnd Mr. Colin Canipbe I, attorney general, representing the great conservative province of Munltoiw. We liad\nalso, representing the other provinces,\ntheir premiers and ministers whose name-\nare well known. Mr, MoBrlde was here\nto represent British Columbia, and he 13\nthe head of u conservative government.\nHe came forward with a dt termination\nthat nothing you could do for him would\nsatisfy him. It is evident tliat he had not\ncome to get an arrangement for uiittsh\nColumbia; he liad come there to find a\ngrievance. He did not want to agree to\nanything that the conference would agree\nupon. He suld: I want a royal commission to look Into the case of British\nColumbia. Now there was no reason why\nwe should grant a. royal commission to\nonce province and not to another. This\nwas a matter, as I have .said, which had\nbeen agitated lor twenty years. The\nprovinces needed the money. The lime\nwas rli\u00ab', not for commissions and further\nInquiry, but for action. If it was right\nthat Mr. McBrlde shou d be given a commission for British Columbia, why should\nnot Mr. Whitney say: I am nol satisfied\nwith this arrangement, and I want a royat\ncommission to investigate for Ontailo?\nAnd so with the premier of Quebec, the\npremier of Nova Scotia and the rest.

They were not prompted by an\nungenerous spirit towards British Columbia. I can speak of that with the most\nperfect certainty. I have said elsewhere,\nand. I repeat now, that I went to som.\nof the members of the conference before\nIt assembled, and asked them to consider\nBritish Columbia's claims ns favorably\nas possible, to strain a point in her favor,\nand treat her generously. And I am glad\nto say that they were disposed to do that,\nand that a proposition was made to treat\nBritish Columbia generously. I do not\nwant to pander to any particular section\nof the dominion. Brlti-h Columbia Is a\nbig, rich province. Her people are not a\nparty of children, and I do not believe\nthey need a Baby Act for their protection.\nTJipy came into confederation of their own\nfree will, and If they are asked to live up\nto their bargain they have no right to\ncomplain. But when the peculiar condition was known and the other provinces\nwere disposed to treat them generously\nand liberally, the premier of iMtish Columbia should have responded and accepted the consideration with which he was\ntreated. He wanted a commission, and\nthe matter was considered. The conference considered It. Mr. Whitney considered It. Again I say, the leader of the\nopposition 'has done his best to make the\npeople of British Columbia believe thnt\nthis was: a quarrel between sir Wilfrid\nLaurler and the province of British Columbia. It was not. My right hon. friend\nthe prime minister took no part In thut\ntransaction that was not heartily supported by the lion. J. P. Whitney and all\nthe other conservatives present at that\nconference. And that conference, not a\nliberal conference, but made up in the\nmanner I have describe.), having heard\nMr. McBride's argument, having heard\nwhat he could say, passed this resolution:\n\"That In the opinion of thc conference\nit is inadvisable that a claim In the way\nof subsidies of any province bc referred\nto arbitration.\"\nThe position tho government took was\nthis..
