A STIRRING SPEECH.

Sir John Makes an Effective Re- ply to Mr. Blake’s Insinu- ations. .

j

| HE SHOWS UP THE REFORM LEADER'S cow- ARDLY TACTICS,

On the 21st ult., Mr. Blake made an attack upon the Government in the House of Commons in connection with the rebel- lion, insinuating, though not daring to charge directly, that the Government was responsible for the trouble. This attack brought forth a stirring reply from Sir John Macdonald, who was received with loud cheers. He said :—

M-. Speaker—And this is the result of the honorable gentleman’s protracted incu- bation ! (Laughter). This carefully writ- ten essay is the result of his prolonged absence from the House! True, he has accomplished his motion for an adjourn- ment with a number of images; true he has given us poetry and prose and has sum- moned the tragic to his assistance ; true he has favored us with an elaborate essay on the horrors of war; but, sir, I say he has taken an ignoble course. The Government is fully aware of its responsibilities. We know that during our administration there has been an outbreak in the Northwest. We know, too, that the subject must be a matter of discussion in Parliament, and we challenge inquiry, and are ready for in- quiry. (Applause.) But to-day, on a motion for adjceurnment, the honorabie gentleman suddenly issues from his rifle pit and fires his gun. (Cheers.) It is an ignoble warfare ; it is an Indian warfare. If Lunderstand the motion of the honor- able gentleman, it is made in order that he may make this speech. Ho says that what- ever ho may think, he does not now make any

CHARGE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT,

He says that by-and-bye on some other occasion le may make acharge. Well, we will wait for that charge ; and, sir, we will answer it. (Applause.) But I am, I think, expressing the judgment of the House, if the honorable gentleman did not to-day, though professing merely a desire to get information, insinuate throughout his whole speech that which he dare not assert. (Hear, hear.) He went back to the events of 1869 and 1870, and gave elaborate details cf our course at that time. He says the Government gave full informa- tion. sir, was at the head of the Gov- ernment that time, and on my responsi. bility I thought it right and safe to make certain communication to the House, 1 thought then the time had come for pro- ducivg this information; and just as then in the exercise of my discretion I thought the time had come when I should bring down the papers, so inthe exercise of the same discretion [ have now withheld much of the information the honorable gentleman has asked for. The honorable gentleman

pressed rebellion, do you think that they will refrain from,

INCITING THE INDIANS TO WAR,

an¢ that they will not call upon them to avenge their fancied wrongs? Uatil that ‘Incian war is ever—until the couniry is ‘quiet—it would be madness—it would be _cruelty-—on the part of any government to | place weapons in the hands of these men | by’ publishing prematurely papers of the ‘kid the honorable gentleman demands. | (Hear, hear.) Why does the honorable _geritleman demand these papers? If I ‘could believe that the honorable gentleman | was actuated by asincere ard honest desire ‘to cure the evils of administration, or if I | thought he was anxious to impress upon the public the necessity for a new system, I wonld say he was quite right; but I know, }and the country knows, that from his first | utterance since the troubles commenced un- til to-day he has simply been trying to get a miserable party triumph. (Hear, hear.) We have loyally endeavored to suppress the causeless outbreak. The country will say we have loyally tried to put it down. '(Hear, hear.) But the honorable gentle- man attempted to get

A PARTY ADVANTAGE

at a time when he should have rallied round the government, no matter who adminis- tered it. He put motions and questions aici made speeches, not for the purpose of protecting the men aud the defenceless women and children of the Northwest, nor with a view to siaying the flow of blood, but for the sole purpose of bringing dis- credit upon those to whom he is opposed. (Hear, hear.) The country knows that I am an old parliamentarian ; my experience doth attain to something like prophetic strain, and I tell him that he has not im- proved his position by the nse he has made of these troubles to get a party triumph. (Heer, hear.) He has mace a mistake and he will get his reward. Great has been his sin and signal will be the retribution. In the course of his speech the honorable gentleman read an article from the Sas- katchewan Herald to show the miseries suf- fered in Saskatchewan valley, and to prove that the responsibilities of the gove.nmont for those miseries were great. As a certain chattel motgage was placed in the honor- abla gentleman’s hand the other day, (Liughter) so a copy of the paper in ques- tion has been put into mine. I find on examination that the honorable gentleman read only a portion of the article. (Here, here.) I shall supply the House with the remainder which he suppressed. (Here, here.) ‘‘And yet in the face of these awful facts, in spite of the ruin wrought upon an industrious people there are to be found, and some of them in high positions, those who characterizo these crimes as a mistake, aud suggest that their perpetrators come in and acknowledge it, »ake new promises as to the future, and resume their old position as the petted, pampered warcs of the

has asked for much he cannot get, and he has asked for much that he will get, and, sir, if there is delay in bringing down the papers he can get it is due to the continued and senseless (if 1 may use the word with- out offence), at all events the useless en

cumbrauce of every department with mo- tions for papers of verious kinds. There are a great many papers that the govern- ment refuses to bring down, on the ground that to do so would be against the best interests of the country. Tho honorable gentleman insinuates that the colonization companies have aone something wrong. He insinuates, but does not say, that the Indians have been ill-used, aad he desires to lead this House to believe what he can- not lead it to believe (for it will not be de- ceived), that the government is responsible and that it has fasled im its duty. Let the honoreble gentleman bring his specific and distinct charge. I care not whether he charges harshness, want of judgment or de- lay; we are ready to meethim. (Applause.) But, sir, let him not spring speeches of this kind upon us in this way. Do you think Mr. Gladstone would have sprung such a motion upon his opponents. Why, I heard this morning that the gentleman who fetches and carries for the honorable gentleman went to the press and said : ‘‘Prevare, there is going to he a great speech to-day from Mr. Blake.” When he was asked what it was to be about, he said: ‘OQ, that is a different thing; only be ready for a great speech.” And why was there this secrecy as to the subject of the speech ? It was that we should not know what the speech was to be about or what course the honorable gentleran would take. (Hear, hear.) I asked if an honorable gentleman on thatside did not goto the press and speak as I have indicated. The honorable gentleman says we ought to have brought down the reports of missionaries, of agents, and all the various officers of the govern- ment in that country on the subject of the troubles and lay them before the House. Why Riel was only taxen the other day, at this moment

DUMONT I5 FREE ;

at this moment he may have a large force behind him ; at the moment there may be white lives at the mercy of the half-breeds, aud despite this, we are to bring down all the statements of the clergy. We will bring them down by and by—all the state- ments of agents, and all the statements of officers whose lives may be forfeited by the present publication of such documents. (Cheers.) The missionaries there have no families, but they have their lives. (Ap- plause.) Fathers there who have had com- munications with the government have their own lives and those of their wives and children at the mercy of the yet unsubdued bands. The honorable gentleman more- over says that although the hali-breed re- beliion may be consicered as put down there is along Indian war before us. Suppose thatistrue. I hope it is not. Suppose too we have no more trouble directly with the half-breeds under arn:s, we know that the half-breeds have aroused the Indians who bave no cause for complaint, who have no greviences in the world, to warfare, and do

crown.

It If TOO LATE for any such suggestions. The government and people of Canada have been deceived as to the civilization of these wild tribes. They have shewn themselves to be incap- able of gratitude. Their apparent tracta- bility was cunning ; their civilization but a cloak to hide their hellish plans. They have thrown down the gauntlet, and now that it has been taken up the issue must be pressed until the fullest justice has been done. But while punishment must be meted out to the Indians, what shall we say to those white men, ard nominally civilized half-breeds, who have instigated this rising? On them rests a fearful re- sponsibility, and on them the penalty must lie. Those who, knowing better, in- cited to these murders and devasta- tions, put themselves on a_ level with the savages in all save their animal courage, and as their light was greater so must their punishment be exemplary.” Why did not the honorable gentleman read that. (Laugbter from the Opposition hencnes.) The honorable gentleman laugh, but they laugh with hearts in their boots. I charge the honorable member with disingen- uousness in reading but part of the article, and by a series of careful prepared insinua- tions trying to show from it that the Gov- ernment is responsible for the trouble. (Hear, hear.) The peper really says the Indians are responsib'e and the half-breeds more sv. Let me go further, 1 say the honorable gentleman is bringing on his noticn for an adjournment with the state- ment that he wished to press upon the Gov- ernment the respontibility for not bring- ing down the papers, has taken an unwor- thy advantage. He gaveno notice that he intended to move, and he says he has got certain information. Let him produce bis information. We will not bring down the papers which will endanger the lives or the property of the people of the Northwest. I challenge the honorable gentleman to specify avy charges they choose to bring forward, and instances in which the govern- ment are blameable or negligent in the per- formance of their duties. I speak on the part of myself and on behalf of the Minis- try, and I say that we court enquiry, and we feel that the judgment of the country will be that we have acted well, and that our abilities have not been wrongly directed in this case. (Cheers).

The spirit tax in England was $2.45 per gallon before the new budget was brought ip. In Canada the excise duty is only $1.00 a galion. The import duty cn wine in Great Briiain ranges from 60 centa down to 25 according to strength. In Canada the specific duty on wine is about the same, and we pay 30 per cent ad valorem besides. That is to say Wine is taxed about the same as heme made spirits with us, while in Great britain spirit duty is five or six times as high as the wine duty. And Mr, Chil- ders proposed to leave wine alone and raise the tax on spirits.

The bodies of the men entombed in the Durham mine have been recovered.
