SIR JOHN! A. MACDONALD’S SPEECH.

(Special Telegram to the Daily Sun.) (CONCLUDED. )

Now, gentlemen, when we came in we had to shoulder not only the adverse cireum- stances df sessions, but to try and counter- act the utter want of government of our predecessors. It was not so much their corruption or their faults as their useless- ness. During the five long years when this country was in their hands like a budding flower wanting the means to develop itself, they never took one single step to aid its development. They never gave even a single hint of progress. After a long and actual waste of five years—and five years in a young country is a long time—we had to take the Government of the country at ex- actly the point where we left it. (Ap- plause.) I was asked in open hall the ques- tion-—-and other men will repeat it in Par- liament next session—if the late Govern- ment could point out a single thing they did—one single act of legislation they in- troduced or amended during their term of office. No. the work had to be left for more competent hands. The greatest grief of Sir Richard Cartwright, who obtained his position in the late Mackenzie Cabinet as the price of his infamy, was the success of Sir Leonard Tilley in selling in England our securities at arate 5 per cent higher than ever Sir Richard had obtained or than had ever before been obtained. (Prolonged applause.) Day after day the Opposition leaders and their organs have

DECRIED THE FUTURE OF CANADA

and her resourees. They told the English people that they ought not to invest their funds in Canadian securities,and yet such is the awakening of the English mind to the falsity of their general statement, that Sir Leonard Tilley was able to sell his securi- ties at five per cent higher than any Can- adian financier had ever dene before! We were told by the Grit papers during the first few months that the policy of the Goy- ernment would ruin Canada. Now, when everything smiles, when prices are rising and when hope beats in every man’s bosom, they say they must admit there is a start, but state it is notwithstanding the National Policy. A policy must be judged by ex- perience. I went to England in July. There were then some scintillations, the beginning of a better era, but. still the im- provement was only commencing. I come back two months later, and when I went into my friend, the Speaker's room ai Ot- tawa, and looked out on the Chaudiere, I saw that all the vast piles of lumber which had been accumulating for years and had become darkened and deteriorated by time, had disappeared and been replaced by piles of bright new sawn lumber (applause. ) Wherever I goit is the same thing. I find that the people of Canada have made up their minds that with a Conservative Goy- ernment and a Protectionist Government,a Government that thinks only of the in- terests ot Canada and not of salaries or ef power, this country has a chance, and ris- ing from the slough of despondency, in which it has been lost for the past five years, will flourish and blossom like the rose. Why, Mr. Chairman, it was not long ago-—it was only, I think, lest session— that Mr. Mackenzie, the leader of the Op- position, said (and when the leader of the Opposition makes an announcement it must have great weight) that it was quite absurd for us to charge anything for our lands in the North West, because people might go to Texas and get their lands there for nothing. Mr, Chairman, the position which the Government ef which I am a member, took, was this: We believe that we have one of the

FINEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD

and we should offer to every man who chooses to go there, a homestead free and a chance to deuble his homestead by paying a dollar an acre; but we said we muat build the Canadian Pacific Railroad across this Continent; and are pledged to do it; and this Country cannot be a Country without that line (applause.) And we are going to build it (cheers), and I hope that Sir Char- les Tupper, under whose charge the work is, will live to see it running across the Con- tinent. British Columbia is merely a geographical expression, as was said by Lord Palmerston in regard to Italy, until we have that Railway built, and we do not choose to lie upon our oars. Wa intend to build it (cheers.) Well, Mr. Cartwright— I beg his pardon, Sir Richard John or James Cartwright, stated that no Govern- ment could by any possibility help a coun- try in distress. I did not believe that, and the country did not believe it, and Sir Richard James Cartwright was speedily re- moved from his place and another man put in it, a man belonging to a Ministry which was not composed of mere ‘“‘flies on the wheel.” (Applause.) Now, Mr. Chair- man, what have we done! It was Novem- ber, 1878, before our Cabinet was re- elected. We had only two months to or- ganize the Government and get our meas- ures ready for the House. Look at the statute book of 1879 and see if we did not ass more important acts during last session than Mr. Mackenzie passed during his en- tire five years. (Cheers.) We took the thing by the throat, Mr. Chairman. (Ap- plause.) We passed our legislation and we carried our Tariff Bill. itis not perfect yet. Weadmit thatit is notperfect. It was experimental tariff. As we had no pride of opinion, we believed the country would point out to us what was wanted for

the good of the eountry, and we invited the}

NO. 129 disinterested or the interested opinion of of every man and every trade in Canada on the subject. (Hear, hear.) After consider- ing fully all the represéntations that were made, we passed the tariff, and I am proud and happy to say herein a meeting of my friends that as a whole it has been accept- ed by the country as a good omen, as being successful, and as having mtroduced in- stead of poverty and despair, industry, en- terprise and future development. (Aj plause and cries of ‘‘Brayo.”) Mr. Chair- man, this thing could not come at once, as you can quite well understand. You have heard the familiar illustration of this point given by the farmer, which I will not quote just now (laughter and applause), but you know that the seed planted to-day will not give fruit to-morrow. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, we have planted the seed and ithas become a flourishing plant already. (Loud applause.) Why, in all parts of Canada I find that worksheps which have been closed are opening, and men whe were working at a quarter and half time are now Working full time. There are new enterprises springing up which were not known here before, and industries which have been prostrate are commencing to flourish (hear, hear); and if the Canadian people will stand by me, will stand by us, will stand by the Canadian party for ten years, we will have this country one of the greatest producing countries in the world for manufactures, as it already is one of the greatest agricultural preducing coun- tries in the world. (Cheers.) But agri- cultural prosperity must precede and will precede our manufacturing success, because the people are rushing by thousands into the North-West, by reason of which, as I had,occasion to tell some of the greatest men of England, Canada will in five, or certainly in ten years more, produce enough to supply all the agricultural deficiencies in-the worst season in England. This brings me, gentlemen, to make allusion to the great man who governs England at this moment,

LORD BEACONSFIELD.

(loud and prolonged cheers.) He was the first Prime Minister of England to give prominence to Canada. (Applause.) He was the first Prime Minister of England whe recognized the great imperial duty of embracing Canada as a portion of the Em- pure. (Renewed applause). He was the first man to te!l the people, and particular- ly the agriculturists of England, that if they were to change their place of abode, if they were to leave the British Isles,there was one country beyond all others to which they should go, and that was Canada. (Loud applause.) Gentlemen, only think of it! Some Canadian papers, some Canadian men, were so lost to all sense of what was due to their country that they jeered at him —they insulted him—they told him he was a liar, and that I, being his supposed ad- viser, was a greater liar than he! Only fancy, when we had aman like him, a great man, a man whom even his opponents ad- mit to be one of greatest men that have arisen in moderate times in English history, speaking in our behalf, to help and assist us —only think of it that our newspapers should say he was a liar and that there was no truth in what he said! (Cries of “‘shame !”) I do not know Mr. Chairman what his information was er whom he con- sulted. I am proud to say that 1 spent twe days with him, and I never found a man more fully imbued with the great Imperial idea that the Colonies were an essential part of the Empire. I knew perfectly well, even if I had no greater purpose to guide me than the success of my mission, that I ought not to overstate my case, and I did [not over- state my case. He made one mistake, one error so natural that it could be well under- stood. He was tolc that there.was a large emigration from the Western Provinces to Manitoba, and he stated instead, that there was a large emigration from the Western States. The mistake was one which any man might make, and was the only thing that couid be said against his

GREAT, PATRIOTIC, GLORIOUS SPEECH

at Aylesbury. When my hon. friend Sir Charles Tupper. aud I were in England, we were told there was no use sending over emigration agents, as they were considered to be paid to brag Canada, and tell lies about Canada. (Laughter.) You remember that Sir Henry Wood, in the time of Queen Elizabeth, defined an ambassador to be en honorable, able man, sent abroad to tell lies for the good of his country. (Laughter.) The people in England apparently think that our agents are of the same character, and what did we do to meet this opinion ? [have great pleasure in alluding hére to the action we took, because the man to whom the credit of the whole affair is at- tributable my hon. friend John Henry Pope, is present. We found that paid agents were looked upon with suspicion, and Mr. Pope, knowing the value of our country, took the bold course, a course which a timid Government would never think ef taking, of calling on the tenant farmers of England to meet .and select from among themselves twenty-five men to send to Can- ada, and guaranteed the payment of their expenses, coming and going, and during their stay in Canada. (Applause.) If our country was unfit for settlement, let them stay away, but if, as we believe our ceuntry is the finest tke sun ever shone on, then let us have unbiassed, independent witnesses of it. In the ship which brought me out, Mr. Chairman, re were nine tenant farmers, all- gentlemen, well edu- eated ; one of them farmed two thousand acres in Berwickshire ; another paid £2,000 a year rent. They are men beyond the
