a few moments, take up the Canadian, na / taal forefathers fled to escape persecu- negative side. I do~ not wish, at the) tion and landlordism, and I tell you they outset, to predict that there will never/are not iu love with this Federation be an Imperial Federation, for when the|scheme. There is no demand for it present forms of Government are out-| from Carada ; the press, aimost to a grown, long after we are dead and Unit, opposes it. Canada does not cry, gone, the idea may be consummated ;|*‘ Federate or perish.”» She does not but I do not believe that Canada will) want a second-hand aristocracy, or cole ever become a component part of that|nial peers, or a swarm of English civil Federation. service employes thrust upon her. Sir
No! it comes from England alone. Very few colonists have as yet espoused it. Eagland, governed by landlordism, is failiog. She has driven millions of Irish, Scotch and English to America, where they are becoming independent, and the landlord class would like to get control of them again, to prop up the failing years of England. Those who have shaken off the dust of Great Britain from their feet, do not wish to be pur- sued to their new homes by the old form of Government.
England’s progress in many respects is not equal to that of her Colopies. She is old; they are in their prime, and she would drag them, back a quarter of a century. Better to have half a dozen healthy young vations, related to each other by the common ties of kindred, tongue aud progress in
according to situation and circumstances, than one unwieldy, cumbersome empire, with such divergent and clashing interests as the one proposed. Then will the dream of one class of political economists —Free Trade—be as uear realization as under Imperial Federation. On paper, the scheme of Imperial Foderation looks very nice and very grand. ‘Her morning drum beat, cir- cling the world and Lheping company with the hours,” is beautiful @p theory. “Far away hills look saints their beauty vanishes with near approach. It is a fit subject for the poet, the dreamer, or the enthusiast. ‘‘Poetically,” says R. E. Gosnell, “it is nice to think of a Dominion upon which the sun never sets, and such an allusion never fails to bring down the Shouse ; but practically, such a dominion represents a world of interests, which can never harmonize. + - - : It has all the conveniences that stirring poetry, beeutiful word painting, fervid eloquence and noble sentiment afford, and our Opponents have. not failed to make the most of the advantages offered. But these simply form mirages which lure-ou thirsty travellers after fame, to disap- pointment and danger. The fiction is so grand that one has not the heart to dis- pel it; but duty marks the way to its destruction. A political confeder- ation looks well on paper, but it is one of these schemes which, if adopted, would prove to be a disastrous waste of the writing material upon which it had been elaborated.” We cannot substitute poetry for political common sense. The very tendency to aggrandizement is bad. History teaches us _ that the territorial aggrandizements of Egypt, of . Persia, of Greece, and of Kome, “who in their turn ruled the world,” wrought the ruin, not only of each empire as a whole, but of their constituent parts, and now all that remains of them is but a memory, but ruins over which flit the shadows of the night of empire, and breezes pregnant with death and destruction. That is the gloomy euding of ancient dreams of magnificent kingdoms. But history re- peats itself, and we have no guarantee that federated Britain would not be over- taken by like fate. Suppose the union ac- complished,and, to use a far fetched meta- phor,that the empire should seek to control the entire world, might she not meet the fate of the kingdoms of antiquity—utter disintegration ? We are are growing, and cannot afford to be hampered by a cumbersome union. We have within our borders all the ele- ments of nafiovality. We have exi:aust- less agricultural avd mineral resources, great fisheries and growing towns, built up by increasing manufactories. We are connected withthe Mother Country by the ties of blood and tradi- tion. Canadais in much the same posi-
Why should she join it? Does the, Francis Hincks said we are better off as cry for such aunion come from her?) We are for a long time to come. Canada
has no desire to become one of a number of mere satellites revolving around Eng- laud as a central luminary.
Thep the members of the Federation League raise a very pretty cry of **Loy- alty and Patriotism.” Article 1 of the Draft Constitution of the proposed Union says that “The Constitution of the Federal British Empire is to be based on the loyalty to the Throne of Her Most Gracious Majesty and her suc- \cessors.” What is loyalty?’ asks an in- dependent Canadian journal, and this is
the answer it gives :—
“Loyalty is obedience to constituted authority, ; whether that authority is right or wrong. But | constituted authority may be forced on a people | against’ their will, and then active ‘loyalty’ be- } comes a crime against the nation. Patriotism, on ithe other hand, may be defined as obedience to | the popular will, whatever that will may be. 1? for instance, the Irish people to-morrow said that they did not want Home Rule, then the trae | patriot would support the will of the peepie, whe- | ther that will was in accord with his own views iornoet. Of the two, Loyalty and Patriotism, the
arts and science, each governing itself jatter is, by far, the higher virtue. Now take the
cloud of English *‘ ycunger sons’ Who are in this country ; these men are loyal, but they have no | patriotism as far as Canadais concerned. They jare ‘loyal’ to English interests before any other ‘interests in.the world. What do they care for *Canacla, except to make money out of it! A great ;/ many of them donot come tostay. ‘hey simply |squat here to make, what they cannot do at home, a living. But as men who define their ‘loyalty’ as England first and Canada after- wards, then the Government of the country is uilty of treason to the people by employing hem.”
So much for *‘loyalty.”
Joseph Howe, in his letter on the organization of the Empire, io 1866; said:—‘“A — great many
persons are content to drift on without forethought or statesman-like provision. for the future, but others holdthat it is the duty of the parent state to prepare the outlying provinces for independence —to so organize as to inspire them, at ithe earliest possible moment, with the ambition to desire to dissolve the national connection and set up for themselves.” In the same letter he warns us that federated England might at any moment declare a war, without consulting us, which would sweep our fleet from the
seas. Now, if we remain out of tedera- tion, there will be no such danger. Says Alex. F. Pirie; of Toronto, writiny in
the North American Review:—*Depend- ence means danger; separation means security.” © The colonies will prosper by separation. Families do not lose strength by marrying, and doing for themselves ; they scatter that they may live, and colonies Occupy an analogous position. They have an antagonism of interesis, such as would not be conducive to their sharing the same home, under one rovf, as itjwere, The empire strengthened itself by conceding responsible Govern- ment to the colonies. Let them, as they increase in wealth and population, and become able to take care of themselves, assume independence. Whiat an advantage this would give Canada, I shall under- take to show further on,
Imperial Federation is but a second tower of Babel, built by enthusiasts to reach the vain heights that only dreamers think of. Its builders are—whom? In England, **Buckshot” Forster, its chief, Childers, Labilliere, Ear! Dunraven, Geo. Baden Powell, Howard Vincent, etc.; and in Canada, after Prof. Schur. man and Rey. G. M. Grant, only a few place hunters, dazzled by English hon- ors,or mellowed with wine at English banquets, aud a number who have kissed Victoria’s hand, or won the honor of writing P. C. after their names. I chal- lenge any man to show that the people of Canada are ia love with the scheme.
I have lingered too long over general- ties, and now I will come down to a few sclid arguments.
