V--',. . v ., Ottawa, OnL, July 31. The opening gun In the campaign which will de termine 'the fate of the reciprocity pact between the United State and Canada 'was fired yesterday by the liberal leader, Sir Wilfrid . Laurier. who Saturday dissolved the parlia ment and called for a new election. It waa In the form of an open address to the Canadian people, and In It is aet forth very clearly the Issues in volved in the present campaign. The question at Issue ia not a new one, Sir Wilfrid assert, reciprocal relations with the United States hav ing been sought by both partie for over half a century. The preaent conservative party, he declared, ia seeking to reverse thl lifelong policy of its leader of the past. Tbe enact ment of the agreement, the premier predicts, would further improve the friendly relatione exietlng between Great Britain, Canada and the United States and would be an Important fac tor in bringing about a general treaty of arbitration. , Sir Wilfrid then referred to the reciprocity agreement of 1854 entered into between Canada and the United State, which terminated la 1866. "Ever sine tba termlnatlou of that treaty," said he, "all public men of any imminence In Canada, whatever their differences on other question, have been unanimous la the attempt to again secure the free exchange of natural product. Nor is tb! to be wondered at, seeing that In tbe Indus tries of agriculture, fisheries, lumber ing and mining Canada foaeesse ad vantages not enjoyed by any other country on earth, ai.d that upon the market aecured for the product of these Industrie depends the growth of our manufacturing and commercial interests and the prosperity of all classes In the Dominion.'' Sir Wilfrid, after reviewing th negotiation which culminated re cently In agreement for a free ex change of commodities between Can ada and the United States, said: "Thla agreement waa strenuously resisted In the United States by vari ous Interests on the alleged ground that it waa all to the advantage of Canada and to the detriment of the other country, but the view that it waa mutually advantageous to both countriea finally prevailed In congresa and the agreement atanda today aa an offer by the United States to Canada of that very measure of reciprocity which for more than thirty years haa engaged the earnest and constant ef fort of every leading Canadian atates- ' man. "The present conservative party la parliament seeks absolutely to re verse the lifelong policy of Its great leaders of the past, declaring that It wil oppose to the bitter end tbe very principle enunciated by both Sir John A. MacDonald and Sir John Thomp son In the last election, addressee upon which each of thse statesmen ever appealed to the Canadian people." The apeaker then referred to tha attempted oba'.ructlv tactic of the conservative party In tbe house of commons to prevent any vot being taken In parliament upon tb agree ment and aid: "Such pretense ar aim ply a clumsy attempt to giv some color to unwarranted and undignified obstruc tion. To overeom thjt obstruction, after a session which has already bated eight months, would not only mean that continuation of an uneven)- (Continued oa Pag Six.)
