MR. CHAMBERLAIN On the Situation.

¥ ‘ — <i

-

> , > SPrskrne at Devonshire, a short time

ago, Mr. Chamberlain said : —

‘*It is quite curious to look back to the time of the great civil war, and to the opinions which were then expressed by dis- tinguished statesmen and writers on both sides of politics. They were animated, no doubt, by a sincere dread lest the Uited States should become a great aggressive power, dangerous to the peace. of the world ; and there is no doubt that they were genuinely afraid of the introduction in this country of American ideas and of American institutions. Why, gentlemen, it 1S. Judjexous to contrast the results as we owWthem with the fears and the anticipa- (Hear, hear.) The United States of America in the interval which: has elapsed has more than doubled its population, until at the present time it exceeds the whole English- speaking population of the British Empire. And yet, so far from being aggressive, it is the most pacific country in the world ; and it has shown the remarkable spectacle of a nation of sixty millions content with an army of 25,000 men and a fleet which is barely sufficient to carry the national flag to the principal centres with which it bas commercial intercourse. (Cheers.) As to the introduction of American institutions in this country, we all know that America has developed a conservatism waich must be the envy of many people inthe United Kingdom. (Laughter and cheers.) No- where in the world isthe authority of the law greater, is the respect forthe law’ more universal. (Cheers.) It is now over a century since they adopted the coustitu- tion which then went far beyond the ideas of the governing classes ofRurope. But they have adhered to that constitution with a persistency and a devotion ur- paralleled in history, and there are many} Americans, too, who think upon these’ aubjects, who say that much of our recent legislation is unconstitutional and revolu- tionary. (Hear, hear.) As to our practice, | they are astonished at the mildness. with which we meet the assaults upon the author- , ity of Government, (Cheers.) While | was} in Washington news came of the riots in) Trafalgar square. (Laughter.) More than | one distinguished American en both sides of | politics in that-country took occasion to re- call't6 Me their own experience when, some twenty years or more ago, the city of New York became a prey to an invading mob. They called out a regiment of militia; they} swept the streets with grape; and I am tola that some hundreds uf people perished and very little compunction was felt or express- ed. Idonot know whether it is this per- sistency in their devotion to their constitu- tion, whether it is this respect for law, this determination that the rule of the majority constitutionally expressed shall be respect- ed by che minority—I do not know whether it is that, or what it is; but at all events I think that there is now an appreciation of American institutions and of the American people which, perhaps, did not exist a gen- eration ago, (Cheers.) All the prejudice, all the ignorance, | hope, and certainly all the dislike, have vanished from the minds of Englishmen; and there is now among all parties and among all sections one univer- sal feeling of good will and admira- tion, not untinged with envy and a cordial desire for a hearty and for a durable friend- ship. (Cheers.) Well that was the feeling which I considered myself specially com- missioned to express in the conference at Washington. As Lord Granville has said, J claim no triumph, I sought no triumph. I should have thought it a mistake in poli- tics, to speak of nothing higher. (Hear, hear.) But I claim to have done the best with my 2olleagues to secure an equitable and friendly arrangement. (Cheers.) I do not think that the spirit was inconsistent with the maintenance of the great colonial interests which were committed to the charge of the British plenipotentiaries. I believe we all held it to be our duty to yield everything that good neighborhood and the comity of nations could claim at | our hands, while at the same time we held fast to treaty rights that long usage and | equity and international law had sanction- ed. (Hear, hear.) 1 believe that we have fulfilled the condition, that we laid down’ for ourselves in undertaking this mission. I : see that Mr. Seeretary Bayard, the states-' man who, in the United States, is the chief politicial official of Mr. Cleweland’s Govern- ment, says, in a letter that has been recent- ly published, ‘* Conciliation and mutual

tions of amity and mutual advantage.” I believe that that opinion would express the view of the vast majority of the people of Canada. I have no doubt that it is in accordance with the opinion of

will receive its final endorsement from the great representative bodies which have now to pronounce upon it. (Hear hear.) And if that be done, when we have removed the local and temporary, although long- standing causes of difference between us, then I think that we may trust to the good feeling and common interests, and more than all tu the common blood aud common origin and common traditions of the Anglo- Saxon race, to preserve unbroken the amity and peace which are essential to the pro- gress and civilization of the world. (Cheers. ) In the case af the United States of America I hope for amity and peace, and I ask for nothing more. Our course has been mark- ed out for us as separate and independent, but I hope as friendly nations. But is it necessary, is it desirable, that our relations with Canada, with our great colonies in

submit to the charge of being a sentiment - alist when | say to you that I will never willingly admit of any policy that will tend to weaken the ties between the different branches of the Anglo-Saxon race which form the British Empire, the vast dominion of the Queen. (Cheers.) ‘I feel myself a

natural pride in the restless energy and

dauntless courage which have created this this great Empire. I {vel a satisfaction in the constant evidence which is given us of the affectionate attachmeut of our fellow- subjects throughout the world to their old home. (Hear, hear.) It seems to me that it would be unpatriotic to do anything which would discourage this sentiment— that it would be cowardly and unworthy to repudiate the obligations and responsibili- ties which the situations entails upon us. (Hear, hear.) I would be willing to put it on the lowest possibie grounds. Experience teaches us that trade follows the flag, and even in commercial questions sentiment is a powerful influence on the question of profit and loss. A great part of our popu- lation is dependent on the present, moment upon the interchange of commodities with our colonial fellow-subjects, and it is the duty of every statesman to do all in his power to maintain and increase tiis com- mercial intercourse and to foster the attach- ment upon which, to « large extent, it is founded. We have to watch for opportuni- ties to strengthen the ties between our colonies and ourselves. There is a word which I aM almost afraid to mention. I have been assured upon the highest authority that confederation is an empty dream, the fantastic vision of fools and fanatics. “Tt cannot be. The vision is too fair

For creatures doomed to breathe. terrestrial

air.

Yet not for that shall sober reason frown

Upon that promise nor that hope disown.

We know that only to high aims aré due

Rich guerdons, and to them alone ensue.”

(Cheers.) I am well aware. that up tu the

present time no practical scheme of federa- tion has been submitted or suggestec, but I do not think that such a scheme is impos- sible. (Hear, hear.) There are two points vhich have to be prominently borne in mind. There is the question of Com- mercial Union and the question of union for defence. I have heard it argued that the colonies would be very foolish to allow themselves to become wixed up in our old- world policy and to concern themselves with wars in which they can have no possible interest or advantage. But 1 may point to the action of the colonies not so very long ago in the case of the Egyptian war—(hear, hear)—whben they exhibited a sentiment which I think we should all be ready to appreciate on the occasion of a war in which they certainly had nothing but a sentimental interest. But 1 will go further. I supposethe colonists read history ; and if they do, they will know that every great war in which this country has been engaged since the great French war at the beginning of the century and that every dis- pute which has seriously threatened our peace, has arisen out of the concerns and interests of one or other of the colonies or of the great dependency of India. (Hear, hear.) And under these circumstances it appears to me that it may be at least as much to the interest of the colonies as to those of the mother country that we should seek and find a concerted system of defence. (Cheers.) The difficulty in the case of Commercial Union is, no doubt, much greater. It is no use to expect that our colonies will abandon their custom duties as their chief and principal source of revenue. It is hardly to be hoped that the protracted interests fostered) by their system will willingly surrender the privi- leges which they now enjoy. All we can do is to wait until proposals are made to us, to consider these proposais when they come with fairness and impartiality, and accept them if they do not involve the sacrifice of any important principle or of any interest vital to our population. Meanwhile, my lords and gentlemen, I say that we ought not to do anything to discourage the afiec- tion or to repel the patriotic and, loyal advances which are made to us by our fellow-subjects and fellow-kinsmen, who are proud of the glorious traditions of our country, who share with us our history, our origin, and our common citizenship im the greatest and freest Empire that the world has ever known. (Loud and continued cheers. ) ” i > a rT

The Novoe Vremya says the ‘present liberal home policy of the British cabinet guarantees its solidity. But, it adds, home security may induce Lord Salisbury to revert to the anti-Russian policy in the east. Considering the possibility of such a con. tingency, the paper says Russia’s best course to pursue to counteract it would be to create Central Asian difficulties for England.

The Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in- Chief of the Forces, was examined before a select committee of Parliament a few days ago. He said 11,000 additional men were required to place the army on a sound foot- ing. He thought it was impossible to reduce the military estimates because with an army of volunteers it ‘was necessary to make the service attractive. In Germany this was not necessary, because military service was compulsory and the cost per soldier was much Jess than in England. He further expressed great dissatisfaction with the equipment and armament of the forte.
