Mr. CLANCY.

Can the hon. gentleman call to mind whether any persons or firms engaged exclusively in the manufacture of blankets had made these representations ?

Mr. CLANCY.

Before we close I will prove that the hon. gentleman (Mr. Fielding) did say that. The Postmaster General thinks that in referring to an alleged statement of Sir Charles Tupper he can down the Conservative party. Sir Charles Tupper is well able to take care of himself, but let me remind the Postmaster General that there are a great many things which he said in this House, and which his party and he himself now repudiate. He is the last man who should speak of inconsistency. The Postmaster General is not himself able to pull up his skirts and pass safely over the mudhole. It doesn't come with very splendid grace from him to try to quote Mr. FIELDING.

Sir Charles Tupper against the Conservative party.

Mr. CLANCY.

What evidence have you of that V

Mr. CLANCY.

They are quite consistent.

Mr. CLANCY.

There are specific duties on nearly every article produced in the maritime provinces. Can the hon. gentleman tell me one that has been taken off ? And if the people suffer under them, we in the other provinces are suffering.
