Excerpt from The Trade Question: Speech Delivered by Hon. Wilfrid Laurier in the House of Commons, August 4th, 1891 This is an appeal to the passions of the people. This is an appeal to the loyalty of the people. We claim that we on this side of the House are just as loyal as are hon. Gentlemen on the other side of the House, but we object to men trying to make loyalty the cloak for their selfish policy. What is the argument which we hear in reference to this appeal against discriminating against England? It is stated that it would be unmanly and ungenerous to grant to another nation trade facilities which are denied to the mother land. This is the burden of the objection which is generally made 'on that score. Let us see what is in it. In the first place, I assert that this policy is not conceived in hostility to England. This policy is conceived in the light of what we believe to be for the best interests of Canada. But I state again, and I have admitted without hesitation that this policy might disturb some existing Canadian interests. But I do not admit that English in terests are to be more favoured than Canadian interests. It may be our duty when we have this policy enacted, as it is our duty now, to raise our revenue out of duties on British goods as well as the goods of other nations. I put the case in this way. I assume that this policy would realize what we expect from it, I say that I assume it, but I should not say so, because I believe it rather than assume it.
