They demand civil, political, and religious liberty. Can the emperor grant it to a dependency, and withhold it from the body of his people? This has been tried for nearly half a century ever since 1815 and what has it resulted in?
The Laurier government admits the desirability of such mutual trade preference, but at the same time it recognises the formidable difficulties that lie in the way of its realisation so long as Great Britain continues bound to free trade, and under these circumstances declares it the more politic and generous course to continue giving a special preference to British products with the hope that it may eventually bring about a change in public opinion in the parent state which will operate to the decided commercial or other advantage of the dependency.
