McKay Woolen Company,

A MINISTERIAL UTTERANCE,

ifon. Mr, Davies’ Speech at the Banquet

After expressing the great pleasure be felt on the occasion aud making a short review of eveuis in the recent past, Hon. Mr. Davies said: THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Then we were confronted with the

question ag to what policy we skould adopt with respect to the civil service of the country. There has been in this country a feeling which was voiced by wy friend, Mr. Gaffney, of Summerside, that we should introduce more of the “spoils” systeu: into Canada than we have had heretofore. My opinion is not in favor of the introduction of the spoils system. (Applause.) I believe firmly that the existence of a competent civil service is one of the things we should strive for more perhaps than anything else. I believe that with a competent, trained and permanert civil service more good can be done for Canada than through any cther wmode or system of appointing officials. I believe it would be an unmitigated curse to introduce the system of dismissing wholesale the public officials on every change of gov- ernment; but J] repeat here tonight, what I said ir my place in the House of Commons, that while perwanency in the civil service is a thing to be aimed at,and, if possible, obtained, it is only to be bad at the price of neutrality. Neu- trality is the price that the civil ser- vice must pay for permanency. (Lear, hear.) I say that the civil servant has a civil right as a citizen of the country to poll his vote as he pleases without being called toaccount by anybody or asked how he voted or for whom he voted,and that the fact of his poliing his vote for ov against one candidate or the other is no reason why he should be retained or dismissed. But when the civil servant goes beyond that; when he forgets the necessary condition of his permanency—the condition of neutra- lity—when he takes an sctive or offen- sive part in the politicai affairs of the country; when he assumes to be a politician, we propose to give him every opportunity to be a politician by re- leasing biw from thé ties which bind him to the civil service. (Applause.) Standing upon that principle we stand upon firm constitutional ground as laid down by the highest constitutional writers upon British constitutional law. You have it endersed by Lord Dufferin almost in these very words. You have it laid dowa by that great writer, Mr. Todd, in these very words, and it is also endorsed by Sir Charles Tupper and Sir John Macdonald; and we propose to carry it out upon those principles and on these lines. Now this may be dis- appointing to some of our friends, but if they will consider for » moment, they will see that itis the only principle up- on which the government of this coun- try can be carried on. Now, Sir, com- plaints are made against the Govern- ment for not hav.rg turned oat en masse the civil servants of this country. Why should ac.v.i sei vant be dismissed, if he pas done vo worse than discharge his duty as a cit-zen, if he has voted as he pleases? I have no right to ask him for whom be voted. If be has done that alone, be has aright to keep bis posi- tion, but if he goes beyond it, be takes bis life in his hands; and if the party he supports is defeated be wust take the consequence and go out with that party. We have also been taunted tbat wile we promised to be an honest econo- mical government, we have not been so. I will just say at this stage of my few remarks to-night that we propose to give this country

CLEAN AND HONEST GOVERNMENT.

[ am not going to rake up the past and | make charges against those who pre- ceded us in office, for I know well thet | there are tens of thousands of as good

and honest men in the Conservative

ranks as are in the Liberal ranks. (Hear).

We do not claim that the Conservative

party is all corrupt, for we know better

than that, But the corrupt wing of the

Conservative party had got the mastery ‘of the party. We propose there shell

be 10 corrupt wing in our party if we

can help it. But while we say we wil | give the country economical govera-

7 : ‘ ment, that does not imply that we will

be penurious. Economy is one thing, penuriousness is another. The charge of extravagance was burled against us last session by one of the most distin- guished members of the opposition. It was stated that we brought down esti- mates amounting to millions of dollars more than those of éur predecessors. Let us look to the law and the testimony. We came into power, had a meetiug of the House hurriedly with no time to prepare estimates,and we were obliged to adopt those prepared by our predecessors. We were compelled to do it, and had no discretion in the matter. How could J, for instance, in the short cime allowed me, master the affairs of the great de. partment entrusted to my care? How could the Minister of Agriculture on my left master the varied and intricate branches of his great department? We could do nothing of the kind, and therefore we adopted substantially, if not literally, the estimates tabled on the advice of our predecessors in power. And when we brought down what was called our supplementary estimates, we were taunted with bringing down esti- mates to the tune of many millions. We found when we came into power that our predecessors had pledged the honor and credit of this country to an enormous amount, a million anda quarter of dollars, for instance, for arms and ammunition bought in England and delivered in Canada, the bills for which had tobe paid. Could we as honest men refuse to provide for the payment of these bills? Of course not; we found some millions of money due fcr debts actually incurred by the late (iovern-

ment, or fer which they had pledged the credit of the country, and we had no discretion but to pay them. The first supplementary estimates brougbt down were not brought duwa to pro- vide for one dollar that we on our own responsibility proposed this country should incur, but solely and entirely to pay for bills for goods delivered, or for contracts which had been made and for which the credit of the country had been pledged, or to redeem the prom- ises and pledges of our predecessors. Sir, we brought down a third estimate of threo or four hundred thousand dollars to build breakwaters, piers and other necessary public works, and to prevent diflerent public works from being car- ried out to sea and going to wreck and ruin. For these $300,000 or $400,000 we are responsible. I can mention one or two of these items. THE CAPES STEAMER.

The Island has asked year after year for improved winter communication be- tween the Island and the mainisnd. (Applause.) IL for ove have been con- tending that an improvement might be made by running a steamer in winter between the Capes. We brought down an estimate of $10,000 for that, we have a stoamer chartered to ga on the route as soon as the summer service ceases. She will run between Cape Tormentine and Summerside as long as_ the ice permits and then between Capes fraverse and Tormentine. She may be successiul or not. [| have no personal opinion upon the matter. I deterred as I was bound to do tothe opinion of those wiserand more experienced than myself, but I felt it was due to this country that the experiment sbould be made, and having reached that conclu- sion as business men we did not dilly- dally with the question. We took hold of it. dealt with it and voted the money. Then, Sir, we found that the

HUDSON’S BAY ROUTE question of transporting the surplus pro- ducts of the great Northwest to Great Britain was agitating the people of the Northwest. The Canadian Pacific Rail way was doing a certain amount of work in carrying that surpius over their road to the sea. But the people were clara. oring for a second outlet, 20 that they might have the benefit of competitive rates. They contended, whether right- ly or wrongly we cannot tell until by actual experiment the testis made, that there was a secoad practical cutlet through the Hudson’s Bay. After care- fully considering the whole question, and the result of the expedition of

Cowmander Gordoa some years ago,and

( listening toall that was said on both

sides of the House, we came to the con- clusion that it would be wise to organiza» another expedition to settle that ques- tion finally,viz..whether or not there is a coumercial outlet through the Hudson’s Bay Straits which will enable the sur- plus products of the Northwest to be conveyed by aseparate route to the Mother country. We proposed a vote of $35,000 for that, and it will be part of my duty as soon as | can get the neces- sary time to prepare the expedition for that service. And go two or three things of that kind involve an expenditure tor which we are responsible. We are not ashamed of our record during the past session. We do notclaim credit for any brilliant legislation; we oame there as business men to discharge a businesa

duty. We thought to have finiehed the work in two or three weeks, but it took several weeks more be-

cause our opponents thought it neces- sary to occupy the time of the House until I forget how many weeks elapsed. Well, Sir, the Liberal party stand here to-day exactly upon the platform which not the leaders, but the party them- selves, agreed to in 1893 at Ottawa. We propose to carry that platform out in its entirety; and common sense dic- tates that to do it in a business way you must proceed cautiously and slowly. We do not propose to carry out the eight or nine planks in our platform at once oreven in one or two sessions. Such a proposition would be ridiculous. THE FRANCHISE LAW.

We propose to remove trom the Statute book the iniquitous franchise law which both parties of this country now have come to the conclusion is too expensive and cumbersome a luxury to retain. We propose to save by that reform a large amount of money annually. We propose to revert to municipal lists’ pre- pared in ali the Provinces except Prince Edward Island and have ove electoral f list tor the local and for the Dominion, instead of the two contticting lists which now exist.

THE TARIFF.

After that we propose that the policy of the Liberal party shall be endorsed and carried out respecting the tariff of this country. Sir, the Liberal party are not revolution’sts,they have no quarrel witb the manufaciurers of this country. Tuey do not propese to ect aa a“bull ina china shop,” or ruthlessly destroy vest- ed interests, We propose to approach the consideration of this great question from a business stand-point, recognizing the fact that these vested interests have been built up under the policy which the couatry for some years adopted and retained, recogniz ng this fac: also, that while free trale is the goal of the Liberal party, it will be icuposaible for some years at any rate to attain that goal. Free trade may be reached some day in Canada; absolute free {trade cannot ba had now. That has been our platform all throuzh. What we do say is this: that the national policy which is em- bodied in the tariff, that the principle of protection per se which is embodied in the tariff; that the policy of trans- ferring from the pockets of one class of the community to another clase large sums of money without compensation shall cease and be eliminated, and that

surdity of the proposition was its own refutation. We do not propose to act in this maiter as anarchists or revolu- tionists, but as business men in a busi- ness way. Hon. Mr. Fielding, the Finance Minister,Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Trade and Commerce, and the two Comptrollers of Inland Revenue and Custouis will investigate the whole question, ani will lay the result before their colleagues, and at next the ses- sion ot Parliament we will be prepared to bring dowu a tariff which will carry out the platform of the Liberal party of 1893, and which while not doing violence to the vested interests of the manufact- urers wiii at the same tiuie relieve the vest body of the people of Canada, the farmer, the fisherman, the lumberman &c., from the unjust taxation which the Liberal Party say hbave been for years levied upon them. FISHERIES ARBITRATION.

Now, Sir,we have had reference in ters all too flattering to what I have had the honor to have done for Canada in times wvone by. itis true | had the honor of being one cf the Counsel for Great Bri tain in the arbitration which took place in Halifax 1877, and it is a courious coincidence tbat in the next arbitration taking place between Great Britain and the United States, another {[slan- der, the Hon. Mr. Peters, should be the jeading Counsel for Great Britain on this important occasion. I have every cunfidence in my friend trom an experi- ence of 2U years, that he will discharge his duty to his Queen and country upon that occasion, in a manner which will elicit plaudits not only from | his triends but also from his

political opponents. I am glad his ap- | pointment has been received with approtation, and that his great legal

country. I$ have no doubt when he enters upon the discharge of those great duties which he has assumed that he will perform them faithfully, effici- ently, loyally and well.

RECIPROCITY.

‘There has been one other subject which has been dear to my heart for many yeare, and which I have advocated on all proper occasions, | refer to the exten- sion and widening of the trade :elations which exist between this country and the United States of America. I re member well, Sir, and there are few here who do not remember, huw much the Maritime Provinces, particularly Prince Edward Island, gained during the old Reciprocity ‘reaty of 1854 te 1866. Times and circumstances have changed, and the renewal of that treaty in its entirety would not satisfy the people now on either side of the

we shall have what is called a revenue producing tariff with vrotection as such eliminated from it. Incidental protec- tion your revenu:; tariff will necessarily give, but duties imposed not for reve nue but for protection must cease. (Hear, hear.) Will that destroy the in- dustries of Uanada? Is it true that we are not able to compete with our fiiends to the south? Have we less brawn, less intelligence, less natural adaptability than they have? No, Sir, we do pot believe that. We believe man for wan (i say it with all due respect to my triend the Consul here) that we are their equals, and in oursecret souls we believe alittle more. (La: ghter.) However, be that as it may, 1 say we are not afraid to tace them or anybody else upon fair terms. We were asked last session to bring down our tarift or to declare the gin lines upon which that tariff was to be based, and the special industries

line; something broader and wider must

be obtained, and in time can be. We do not know who will be the next chief anagistrate of the great United States of ’ America; but, supposing that Mr. Me- Kinley is siected, as the probabilities indicate, there 1s every reason to Le

lieve he will be open to the discussion of this vital and important public ques- tion. And you know the Liberal party is pledged up to the kilt to enter upon that discussion with determination to get, if they can, a treaty which wil be complete and based upon principles fair and honest to both countries. ‘Inere is nothing which would do more for the whole of Canada than such a treaty, and he would be a tool who would shut his eyes to the fact that south of him lies an aggregation of forty nations, as the Consul has said, a population of 70 millions of people and among the richest people in the wide, wide world,

that weuld be affected by it. The ab-

ness principles,prepared to buy and sell where they can do so profitably; and we propese to trade and deal with, them on atair and just basis, if sach a basis can be reached. (Hear, hear.) Sir, when we think of the possibilities that are opea to both countries when the bar- riers are once taken down we etand astonished. We have heard the dis- tinguished statesman to my right, the Attorney-General of Nova Scotia, de- clare that every part of Canada has its natural compiement in the United States of America, Open up the mar- kets of the United States to the coal mines of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton and the mind reels at the possibilities of the trade which may be developed. Give P. E. Island aud New Brunswick free access to the markets of the Uni ted States, and their population will ia- crease, their lands will grow in price, and prosperity will flow over the country as a sunbeam flows over the land when it bursts trom behind s cloud. Throw open to Ontario end Quebec the trade of that country, and instead of losing a million and a quarter of our people as the census returns show was the loss in population between 1881 and 189!, we willincrease a million and a quarter, our lauds will grow in value, personal wealth will increase, and the farmer, fisherman, miner and mer- chant and all classes of the community will join in the general prosperityand re vival cf good times. ‘(hers is one idea which prevails amongst a suall section of the people of the States, but it is fast being eradicated, that there is in this country a desire tor political partner- hip with them. The:e is no such de- sire. No representative man and no body of men can be found in ‘'anada, iu favor of annexation, The New York Sun may talk and print by the ream coluane of this kind of thing.

(App@iuce.) Oar laws, ear institutioos ‘and al we possess have come from her, and in Canada’s moments of trial, which have occurred several times, she has found the motherland ever ready and willing to stand by ber. Sir, it may be that the time is cowing when we wiil be asked to reciprocate, and I think I 1 ain speaking the not only ot this asseinbly, but of the whole of Can- ada, when | say that if the time shoul come, Canada and the Canwdlians will be at the front to do their duty. (Cheers.) We bave nothing but the kindest feel

But we propess to remain loyal to motherland trou wom we have drawn our laws,institutions and literature. Why, Sir. a few months ago, the chief magistrate of the great Ameri- can nation spoke those words on the Venezuelan question which indicated the possibilities of war between the two countries, a thrill of horror was sent taroughout the British Empire. ‘he whole English-speaking people stood aghast at the poseibility of war between two people so related and interlaced. But when a short time afterwards, the gage was thrown down by the German Emperor and the empire was threatened on that side the whole Euglish-speaking world rallied around the Mother Coun- try. What did England do? In the first case she responded to the message of detiance which came from the Usited States President in terms of dignified but kind courtesy, but when the battle gage was thrown down by the German Emperor she responded in terms of defiance, and she astonished the world by equipping andl srendirg to seain addit'on to her usual navy a flying equadren superior in aris, equipmeot and power to any- thing her combined adversaries could hope to float. (Great applause.) She stood amongst the European nations alone. She stood thus in her splerdid isol.tion, sorrowful at the aimutt- red threatenings of her American ottspring; bat she stood firm and unda‘imted in the integrity aad righteousness of her cause and supported and backed by her colonies in every quarter of the globe. Punch reflected the scene in its cele brated ca:toon, where it pictured Bri- tania standing on the shores of her sea girt Isle and looking over the sea of troubled waters beating around her const exciain ing:

“Com? the three quarters of ithe world

In arnos apd we shall shock them;

Naught shail make us rue

if Fagiand to herself do prove but trae” Tbe warmth and unanimity of Can ada’s loyal determination at that time to stand atalil hazards by the Motner land, and to prove the depth of her loyalty by whatever sacrifice of men anid money she might to be called upon tor, evoked a mighty response from the great beart of the mother land, and unit ed mother and daugaters, in a closer tie than had before existed. We knew and felt tbat Great Britain was ready to protect ber Colonies. Great Britain learned to know that her colonies were ready in her hour of peril, to stand and fall with her. We cannot forget such a mother, and I venture to repeat that io Canada today, there cannot be found a public man, or a political party that de- sires to cut the knot binding us politi cally with Great Britain, or to forge a chain to bind us politically to the Unit- ed States.

MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION,

It would bardly be eseemly that I should resume my seat tonight without saying a few words onthe Manitoba school question. That question rent this country from end to end at the late political contest. It was fought out in many places on racial ani reli- gious lines. It evoked f-elings of the very worst kind, of sectarian hatred and bitterness, and if settled by the compul sory. prosers laid dowa as their policy by the lite government, might have disrupted this conlederacy itself. The late governmont attempted to justify their proposed settlement of the ques- tion by use of force and compulsion un- der the excuse that the Privy Council judgment not only justilied bat compel- led them to tbat course. Mr. Laurier fromthe very outset with higher in- stincts.of statesmanship pointed out that force was no rewedy and that a policy alone of conciliation could permanently and effectively set that burning question at rest. Fortunately for the peace and good government of Canada, foi tanate-

ing to the winds. There is no desire for annexation, but there is a deep set and earnest desire for better commer- cial relations between the two coun- tries. We are loyal to the Empire and should be so. That Empire has been a ioyal mother to us, and the old flag has been a protection to us year alter year

“[ was sick for three years,” says James Simpson, of Newcomb Mills. “I tried various alleged patent cures and several boxes of a certain pill which has been greatly cracked up. I got no re- lief. Then 1 tried Dr. Chase’s Kicney- Liver Piils. Since. I have been able to work every day and feel like a new man. Your pills alone cured me at & cost of 25c.”

“TI have been subject to severe colds every fall and spring.” says Miss Hattie

to. “I used many cough medicines, but none cured.me until at a cost of 25 cents L tried Dr. Chase’s Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine.” ,

“My husband was troubled with the worst kind of piles,” writes Mrs. Jan Potts, of Meyersburg. ‘“‘He was often unable to work. Stace using your Chase’s Ointment he is completely cured. It is truly worth its weight in gold instead of the price you charge, only 60 cents.”*

lv for the future of the great North West, the policy of conciliation triumphed, the policy of force was de- feated, but amongst our rejoicing over this great triumph, nothing shuld give us such great hope and eneouragement. as the signal and pronoanced stand taken by the people of the province of Quebec io favor of Provincial Rights end in support of a policy of justice to be attained by conciliation. I am pleased to be 1n 4 position to-night to say that Mr. Laurier lias been success ful, that, practically epeaking, the Manitoba school question has been settled in a way and upon lines which ovght to give satisfection to every reasonable moderate man‘ When the detuai!s of that settle:nent are published it will be found to ve based upon justice and fair play. Coscessions on both sides it was manifest had to be made, but I believe it will be found that these concessions are such as can be frankly and loyally accepted by the people of Manitoba on the one hand and the moderate sni sensible men of the rest of the Dominion on tae other,

Mr. Laurier has I believe faithfully ful- filled his pledges, and this great work

‘of his alone fully and awply ‘justifies bis accessien to power, iIf he is able as faithfully to redeem his other pledges on the

| great political questions of the day,

, I feel satisfied he can again appeal with

| unbounded confidence to the people of

| Canada for a renewal! of their support

‘and that his appeal will not be made ‘in vain. (Loud applause.)
