The debate opened with speeches from M, Wollowski against Lhe withdrawa! from the treaty with Eng- lund, and from other Depities in support of tue proposals of tue committee, a. de Remusat addressed tne House, and said the speakers, instead of giving nouce of wilhdrawal Jrom the treaty, had wandered troin the real point at issue, ‘The question was not a contest of [ree trade versus protection, but purely @ practical oue. The circumstances in which France was placed rendered it necessary for her to regain her uscal liberty. The government desired the moderate pro- tection required by the national Interésts. ‘Tne iin- pertal government itself had resolved to propose a revision of the tariff, aad the immense tucrease of taxation necessitated by the national disasters Low rendered tne tariffs urgent, Article 21 of the treaty enabled the contracting parties to demand @ modification of the tarins under certain conditions, Articles 9 and 6 of the additional convention provided for the estavlisument of com- pensavory duties. Negotiations nad been opened on tis basig, and England admiited tue fiscal necessi- ties of France, and did noi consider the proposed taxes excessive, Dut she Was divided bvetween her desire to assist France aod her repugnance to ac- cept an augmentation of the tarifis. Finally, tm October, 1871, Kugiand manifested a decided re- luctance to enter upon @ course involving, as the despatch of the English government said, a protec- tionist policy suicidai to the nation adopting it. Tne hope of effecting a revision of the tariffs becom- ing thus very small, tne French government ex- pressed its belie that notice o1 withdrawal trom tue ‘treaty was the preferable course, but intimated at the same time its perfect readiness to continue ne- gouations. M, de Remusat proceeded to read a despaton from the Engiisn Foreign Office of the zéth January, stating thai “if the French governe ment believed itself placed under tne necessity of giving notice of withdrawal irom tne treaty in @ fiscal sence Her Majesty’s governmeat will en- deavor to obviate auy weakening of the good relations suvsisting between the two coun tries. Her Majesty's government is ready to modify the treaty within the necessary fiscal limit, but would have the greatest objection to ac- cept modifications in any protectionist seuse. Her Majesty’s government would not, however, close the door to negotiation. [1 the treaty were ‘renounced’ its abrogation couid take place tn one year.”’ (The reading of this despatch caused great sensauon.) M. de Remusat concluded by declaring that the poltcy ol the French government must uot be interpreted as a step backward, The policy was not one of apvsolute protection, and France Dad no hostility to fear on thatscore. M. de Kemusat dismissed as un- tenable the idea that the treaty Powers would make @ cvalition agains: France ‘0 compel the mainten- ance of the treaties of corimerce, England declared it contrary to her iterest to make reprisais by Measures analogous for France. England migiit consent to the proposed modification to the tarils; other influences wouid Weigh greatly with the over Powers. M. ‘thters declared that the government had no wish to return to protectiunism, and vad only nego- tiated on the basis establisned by the tmperiat gov- ernment. In the first negotiations rrance only de- manded modificauons of ‘the tarifs. When the present urgent necessities arose, the government negotiated by virtue of the article of the treaty rela- uve to compensatory duties. it was necessary (or France to possess fiscal liverty, in order to prevent her manulactures from being crashed by toreign roducts in her own market, If the French and Snglish governmenti did not think aiike on tuls subject, they nevertneless had not quarreiled. The English government might say to those opposed to modification, “li we,make DO Cuncessions, the treaty will be abrogated.” The necessities of GERMANY.
