SEPTEMBER 3. 1885 Mr. Davies Meeting.

Tr tone ol M P Dav ies’ speech was very loud and very declamatory. Wiih a plentiful lack of tact and argument, it] was full of auch words and expressions as “robbery, ‘los ‘ ruined,” “ dam rab e’’ misery, °° I famous, °° wl slesale bribery,” “squandering,” “hewers of wood

d drawers of water for Ontario,” “ Sin John bas again sold the Maritime Pro vinees,” ete, ete, ete. It was, indeed, | full of everything that one might expect | not to find in a careful criticism of im-| portant measures of administration and | legislation

The speech was, with some modifica- | tion respecting the new Franchise Act, | a repetition of the speech delivered at Clifton; and as the spac of TH Ex- AMINER is occupied to-day with the} brighter views of the Hon. Thomas!

White, ur extended his notes.

great nation, and the great nation, do not make up their minds to a ceriain line of policy iu order that they may be diverted from it by the persuasions of outsiders. Ao attempt to persuade them that their policy with respect to the fisheries was wrong, would have been a reflection upon their good judgment, und would assuredly have fail-

ed. Sir John had too much good tact to make the attempt. He waited, wisely

waited, until another administration was in power, and then, as soon as possible, he opened negociations. The result is that an understanding has been arrived at. The Government of the United States have agreed to the appointment of a commission, before whom the whole matter willbe discussed, and who will

report to Congress. If Congress will but agree to reciprocity, we shall have reciprocity. In the mean- time both countries apply their fish duties; and if our fisher men are (by the action of the

United States Government) placed for a few months at a disadvantage in the United States markets, they have, on the other hand, (by the action of the Canadian Parliament) cbtaived an ad- vantage over the fishermen of the United States in the markets of Montreal. Toronto, Ottawe, Hamilton, Quebec and other cities of Western Canada which they never before possessed, and of which they will do well to avail themselves. This is the exact position of the matter. The way has been opeved and smoothed towards a new treaty of Reciprocity, and we permit American fishermen fo fish in our waters for three or four months. Is the price too great? What wonld be gained by putting on armed cruisers and keeping the Americans off? Nothing whatever. The Americans could not,by such means,be persuaded to admit our fish tree of duty. Our fishermen would still be shut out of the Americay markets. They might, perhaps, have caught a few more fish, but they would be under the same disadvantece with the sale of their fish in the American markets as they are now ; and instead of the friend hip and good feeling which now prevails, hostility would have been aroused and the negociation of a ‘ reaty of Reciprocity would bave been unpossible. We ask our readers to compare this plain statement of the facts of the case with the statement of Mr. Davies ; and judge for themselves.

the right to the franchise have been dis possessed of it! But he forgot to sty that if a young mao has a father, or mother, or step-father, or father-in-law, or grandfather, with whom he lives on | a farm or city property, he can vote; if he own $150 worth of property {he can |

if he earn $300 a year, he can vote; if} he is from home fishing or sea-faring, or at school or college, he can vote,—in either of these cases, he can votey even though he may come of age after the 20th of July last. Mr. Davies quite forgot to make this explanation for the information of young Liberals! His chief object of attack was, however, the ‘Revising Barrister’s” clause. prououuced infamous; and here it is :—

‘A revising officer to be appointed ,under this Act shall, in every Province except Quebec and British Columbia, be eithera Judge or a junior judge of some county or district court in the Pro

ELOQUENT PASSAGE FROM THE BEST SPEECH | OF THE HON, THOMAS WHITE.

We have in Canada a somewhat 4d flicult country (odeel with.

ground, we presume that County Courts, Stipendiary Magistrates,

‘and barristers of five years’ standing, are

scoundrels who would violate their oaths and every principle of right conduct to assist Sir John to retair power. Mr.

the revising barrister would the voters list to suit Sir John’s purposes. Well,perhaps Mr. Davies knows all about

fiercely denounced by the | barristers ; but we incline to think that | there is some little honor remaining

in the legal profession, and that it will be found, whether a County Covert Judge, or a Stipendiary Magistrate, or a Barrister of five years standing be ap- pointed to do the work, the lists of voters wi'l be prepared without fear or favor for any leader of any admivistration. Mr. Davies dealt briefly with the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany, and declared that they were perpetrators of “a _ gigantic swindle,"—thongh Mr. George Stephens and his fellows have done some business in Canada, and are accounted honorable men even by Goldwin Smith. Mr. Davies also spoke of the public expenditures and public debt; and when he ceased speaking at about ten o'clock, the audience quickly dispersed, leaving Hon. Mr. Haythorne and Hon. Mr. Laird to occupy the position that would have been occupied by Dr. Jenkius or Hou. Mr. Ferguson, had they fallen into the trap prepared for them—the position of meno talking to empty benches and agaist the voise of retreating footsteps. The P. E Island Exhibition. The Provincial Exhibition of this year will be held in Charlottetown on the 7th and 8th of October next. Two thousand dollars will be distributed as prizes.

—The St. Catharines News, though a Reform paper, takes “a very sensible view of the resnit of recent elections. The result, says the News, ‘argues one of two things—either that the people are indifferent to what is going on and utterly careless of the interests of the country, or that they have no confidence in the policy of the Reform party.”

There has been but cone death from smallpox among the Irish people fo Montreal, a fact that corveys the highest tribute to the sanitary condition of the homes, the cleanliness and the general use of vaccination by the race.

The Globe ipterprets Hon. Mr. W hite’s majority of 672 in Cardwell as a| notice to quit the constitueucy, adding that he has already casting about for a seat in Quebec.

in opposition to that great I remember the illustrations | that was made use of, notably that illus- | tration of the fishing rod, tending to show | the imposibility of so governing the long | line of provinces, or as it was said at that itime, length without breadth, as to har- |monize the different interests connected If there was anything in that lit to-day! The Canada we thought of

| then was a Canada from the Atlantic to | Lake Superior ; THE CANADA WHICH WE HAVE TO DAY,

the Canada upon whose prosperity our hepes depend is a Canada extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific (cheers) and the problem which public men have to solve,ihe problem which itis the duty of wize gov- ernment to solve, is how we may harmonize the different interests connected with this vast territory so as to create a common bond of union, that pecple from one end of it to the other may rejoice in the common name of Canadians. (Loud cheers.) We have vast resources connected with ovr country. We have in Nova Scotia its immense coal fields, we have in New Brunswick and Quebec the tremendous timber interests, we have in Ontario those great agricultural re- sources which every year are becoming greater, and which are making the people of that country, taking them man for man, probably the wealthiest community that is to be found on this wide continent. I leave out, of course, in saying that, the great cities where the men who control | stocks happen to live. [ am speaking of the agricultural communities, and I believe that nowhere on this continent is to be found an aggregation of people s0 wealthy Or prosperous or contented as are to be found in that great Province of Ontario, (Cheers). Then beyond it we have our great wheat fields of the Northwest, and be- yond that again is what used to be called ‘fan inhospitable sea of mountains,” we have resources that are already derelop- ing and which will probably tend to make British Columbia the richest and most valuable in the future of all provinces in this great Dominion. (Cheers.) How we can harmonize the resources of these dif- ferent provinces, how we can build up their material prosperity in such a way es to prodncs contentment among the pecple, is the problem which devolves upon public men. We may differ in our m thods of how this is to be brought about, but I can only say this for myself, and I think I ein say it for the Government of which J am that while

a _ member, there may be differences of opinion as to whether their methods are wise or

unwise, they are at least influenced by a desire to prodree that material prosperity, to produce those results which will thus harmonize the interests of this vast Domin- ion. (Cheers.) For myself, I am entering upon a department that which I have the testimony of the newspapers of both politic- al parties there is none more importent at this moment. The great Northwest is, in fact, to-day the back-bone of Canada’s future well being. We possessin it almest the only unoceupied wheat fields of the con- tinent to-day. Looking at the American

newspapers, looking at the diseussions which have taken placa upon the other side of the line, and knowing

what is the opinion of many public men there, there is no doubt whatever that if that territory is wisely governed, if is made attractive to those who desire to sctile there, as so governed as to produce contentment among those who are there, I believe we are destined befere long to have a large influx of population from the United States into that territory, in obedience to that general impulse of immigration which has built up in such a-marvellous degree the Western States and territories of the American Union. (Cheers.) One cannot look at the story of Western development, one cannot study what has been done by our friends on the other side of the line without realizing. HOW GREAT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES

of this Canada of ours in the same direc- tion. The administration of the affairs of that great Northwest, for a time at any rate, is to devolve upon myeelf, and I can only say to you gentlemen, that my earnest desire will be so to manage its affairs as to make the people there feel that they have in the Government of the day men earn- estly desirous of studying the interest of the country in every respect, thoroughly sympathetic with the difficulties of the early settlement of a new country, and re- solved by every means in their power to minimize those difficulties so that general contentment! may ensue. (Prolonged cheers).
