In the debates of 1870, in which Macdonald made it clear that he had no sympathy with free trade as it was understood in England,' both Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper described the policy which the Government was pressing ^ Cf. Macdonald's reply to Holton, House of Commojis Debates, April 26, 1870. Digitized by Microsoft® IX THE NATIONAL POLICY 267 on the House of Commons as a National Policy. But the legislation of 1870 was rather retalia- tory than protectionist. It was, as Macdonald afterw...ards described it, an assertion of the independence of Canada against the exclusive legislation of the United States.^ Neither the National Policy League nor the Canadian Manufacturers' Association was in existence in 1870. Had the Manufacturers' Association then been organised and active in its propa- ganda, only indirectly could the tariff legisla- tion of 1870 have afforded it any satisfaction. Duties in the manufacturing schedules were not increased. They stood at fifteen per cent as imposed by the tariff of 1866, which was framed with a view to easing the way of the Maritime Provinces into Confederation.
