SIR JOHN AT MONTREAL,

A magnificent ovation was tendered Sir

STEAMERS.

'lvered the following speech : —

Mr. Mayor anp GentLevxy,—A stranger

{coming to Montreal toxnight and seeing the

reception accorded to me would ask, »‘Who is. this man? I[s he a Erince of blood 9?’ What claim has ‘eto allthese great honors—to this ova- u—no, not an ovation, out a triumph ? stranger say that stranger only a defeated statesman—(Cries of *‘ No no, never,’ and cheers)— that he was in tlie cold shades of Opposition, that he had no jonger power, honor, influence, nor wea!th, nor anything to entitle him to this great ovation. When the stranger would be told this, he would say, “Why then this kindness, why this re- ception, this offering, to a man like that?’ You, Mr. Mayor, have given the answer tos night in this address, and you, the people of Montreal, have given it by this reception, You have recognized that with all my sing of omission and commission, with all the errors of my thirty-three years of public service, you offer me the flattering, not flattery, for flattery is said to be an agrees able falsehood, but you offer to me this compliment, which is said to be an agrees able truth, that after ali my errors, after all my failings, which have been painted in rather black letters by the Ministerial press, you recognize in me one of yourselves—you recognize in me a Canadian who has been ighting the battles of Canadians. 1 may have made mistakes. [I have made mis- kes, and no one is more ready to acknow- edge it than Iam, but the kindness that { have met with—the magnificent recep- ions that have been accorded to me in th. iciwstern townships this week. all prove to me that the people of Canada are a jusi- o'nded people, and whatever errors a mau may committed, errors of indiscretion or prudence, the people have said after all, * John A. has done his best according to uis judgment, for the development of this great country. (Cheers.) And so it is, gentlemen, that you are now as the people f Canada have generally shown themselves 0 be, “ To my faults a little blind, and to my virtues always kind.” (Tremendous cheering.) Four years ago | resigned office —(Voices—‘‘ You will have it again next year ’)—four years ago we handed over the reins of power to our successors, the present 7? ‘Pour , was a change of administration from the Liberal. Conservative to the—what shall we call them ?—the Rogues, the Grits, the Anti orraptionists, the Purist. We the “ cor- ruptionists,’”’ as we are called, handed over the Government. We had, as it was al- leged, disposed of, the power we had de- graded—we handed over the power and all the patronage to our opponents, and we were going to see the millennium—the golden age was to commence. Away was to go bribery, away was to go corruption, jobbery, and extravagance. That’s what we were told, and I saiu with my arms folded in the House—‘*Gentlemen, you shall have a fair chance as far as | am concerned, you will have an opportunity to show what isin you.”’ We gave them a fair chance to show their capacity or incapacity. We gave them rope enough, and lo! and be. hold they have hanged themselves! (Tre- mendous cheering and laugiater.) Kindly as you are, warm-heirted and affectionate as you are, at this moment glowing in your breasts with a feeling of benevolence to all mankind, and especially to this mor, sel of mankind they call «John A.’ — (laughter)—notwithstanding that kindness in your hearts, you would be almost willing to be the executioners at that hanging. [Prolonged cheering, laughter, and ap. plause.] And, gentlemen, this feeling per- vades the whole of Canada, because the men in power have been false to their pro- fessions, They have proved themselves an organized, but now a disorganized, hypoc. risy, They have proved themselves to be pharisaical brawlers, who, when out of power, tried to raise to eminence the stand- ard of purity, but when in power they have bedraggled it in the dust, [Cheers. } Four years ago there was prosperity, there was hope, there was confidence. Tne armer felt his interest was protected, the merchant felt his interest was protected, and the manufacturer looked forward with hope to the policy which had been an. nounced by the “ lieform’’ Government. Our credit was good in Kogland, in-the United States, and all the world over; but, gentlemen, what do we see now? Instead of confidence there is distrust, instead of solvency, look at the (/jicial Gazettes, and every Saturday they show a long string of insolvencies. Look at our manufactories closed. [Voice—‘ Sugar, for instance,’’] Look around you, and you see the horny hands of toil asking leave to labonr. They are now beggars, they do not desire to have silver spoons placed in their mouths, but they desire to have a fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work. (Loud cheering. ) But whatdo we see? We see them drift ing off to the United States; we see the skilled artizan, the strong-handed young men of Canada,and the active young women of Lower Canada, drifting off to Lowell, to New Hampshire, to Maine, to Connecticut, adding to the wealth, to the power, and the strength of a foreign nation, and depleting poor unfortunate Canada. [Prolonged cheering.} I heard a voice say « What about sugar?’ Gentlemen this is a sweet | topic, but we are going to make ita very | -itter pill for the Grits. [Cheers ana

refineries, they have ruined our China trade. Whetber in tea, sugar, or no mats ter what interest you speak of, gentlenten, the present Government by their faulty policy or'want of policy have ruined them wl, and the only feeling of hope that «tli exists anywhere to prevent the country ‘rom sinking into the *‘ Slough of Despond,”’ into which it is fast sinking, is that their reign will be shortly at an end. | believe. [ know, that the hind writing is on the wall—‘Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin.”’ [Tremendous cheering.} Yes, and as | told my friends this morning, just as that inscription was written before the trem- bling face of Belshazz:r, so it is written on the wallsof Canada before the trembling eyes of Mr. Mackenzie’s Government, {Laughter.] Although you see him going through the country whistling to keep his courage up, that whistle bas a very doleful sound. [Laughter and cheers.} You res member the old hymn, ‘‘ Hark from the tombs a doleful sound,” and you bave it from Mr, Mackenzie. Your ears attend the cry, and Mr. Mackenzie oan go onard say, ‘‘ You living men come view the grcuad where we must shortly lie.”, | Prox longed @heering, laughter, and applause, ] You are going to bury this policy, this false policy, wnd you are going to adopt the policy of the party who declare that they will Keep Canada for Cana tians, *hat they will have a national policy, that they are no longer gciag to kiss the foot of Uncle Sam or Brother Jonathan. They are going to say, *‘ We must either havea reciprocity of trade or a reciprocity of tariffs, (Cheers, ; If they are going to build a Chinese wall, we will subscribe to the erection of that wall, If they are going to keep us out we will keep them out. [Cheers.] We are not going to allow this country to be made a sacrifice market for the American. We are not going to ailow this country to be made the slave and instiament of the manufacturers and capitalists of the United States. (Cheers.) What did this Govern. ment do last session and the session be{ore? They had twice an opportunity of encour aging our manufacturers, but they said their predecessors had been guilty of ex» travagance, and that then they proceeded to increase the burthens of the people. The expenditures of the country, in every item, from 1873 to 1877, have been most largaly increased, and especially so in the matter of departmentaljexpenditures. (Voice—* That is a liberal Government’? —) Yes, that is the liberal Government— the party that said John A. had stufted the offices at Ottawa with political hacks. Mr. Mackenzie used to say we appointed so many that when we went to see a minister we could not get into the department without stumbling over them, but since he has come into office he has not diminished the number of those clerks, He has ad- ded enormously to them, so much so that he bas qeen obliged to build a new wing to the departmental buildings for their accommodation. (Chsers.) Last session and the session before, the present Government had, instead an annua surplus, a deficit. When we were in power. after paying for all this grossly eXtravagant administration of affairs, as it was charged with being, after paying every man his due and carrying on the Government of the country efficiently, we had a surplus to the good every year. [Cheers-] What do we tind now? Since the present Government came in, three years and a half ago, there has been every year a deficiency, and gen« tlemen, having caused the deficie , they have been obliged to come down with ad- ditional taxation. Well, what did the Ops position say? We said, if you wiil Only re.» adjust the tariff in such a way as to help our struggling industries, and infant manu. factures, we will go with you, (Cheers, } Last year | told that heaven-born Minister of Fimanee, Mr. Cartwright, although [ could not be expected to have much con- fidence in him or the Government of which he isa member—I said if he would Only take up the tariff and deal with it in the interest of the country, I would go with him. I would forget the past, and accord the Government a hearty support in any measure of that kind. Bus, gentiemen, oo too blind. They were blind in own self gonceit, and they laughed at us, andvinsteed of helping our infang maau~ factares, or any other interest in the coun- try, they puty a duty on malt, thereby diminishing the price of the barley raised by our farmers, and they put a duty on tea, so that every old

And not only that, I said

“If you are going to tax tes, which is « necessary of life, at all events levy the duty according to the value of articles .’’ (Cheers.; The price of tea runs from thirty cents to two dollars per pound. The rich man pays two doilars for his flowery Pekoe. and the workingmau pays thirty cents for his Hyson, Skin, or Twanky. I said put a small duty on the poor man’s tea, and put an increasing duty on the fin« er grades, so that the rich man may contri« bute according to his riches, (Cries of ** That's fair.”] By the present duty the old woman, who scrapes up a few cents tu buy her ounce of tea, pays the same duty per pound as the wealthy Capitalist, who pays his two dollars a pound for his. Is that fair? [Cries of no.] But Mr. Carts wright said * It is more convenient to put the same duty on all grades of tea, We can collect it more easily, It would bother the collector.""
