In the lUnited States many big industrial concerns make s, prac- tice of inviting their employees to buy shares in the capital of the company that employs them, and at once a new spirit in industry is developed. lLabour and Capital then work together- t-o secure a higher product, instead of quay- relling over the division of a small- er one.

We have no statistics of the number of employees in the United States who have invested their Sav- insa in the Company that they are share holders in, but it is prdbable that there are a very large nutm- ber, as the country is very large and the industries in proportion to its size. This ls- how IProtection Ibe- came so popular in the United States. Their manufacturing me- thods are run on the principle of one man earning double wages. 'Be all this as it may it is evident that a large percentage of work- ingmeal in ‘English-speaking coun- tries are also doing some sound thinking. This augurs well for their success and the peace of the world. That. is, ii they halve ‘a voice in the companies and use it against becoming "Quakers."

tit does not seem that we Can- adians nre giving the measures of arttention to industrial ptoiblctms that the country needs for its in- dllfltrifll fiXimllsion and success. lint the time is not far distant when the country will notlbeableto live on agriculture alone.

We would all be reluctant to con- ess lt were it true, and it IS not true; butthere was undoubtedly a lafge!‘ share of Canada's rcally great men Lin the first Federal Parliament than are in that body today. iVe have multiplied our 57°31 railway men, our mine owners, our cotton kings, our coal barons, our steel magnates, our captains of industry and merchant Pmmest m" 133mm medicine nabobs, our bankers, financiers, in- mrance "Villagers. land speculators, our charter-mongers and con- tractors, and these callings have absorbed a host of out; shrcwdcst and ablcst men. At Confederation, stafcraft was viewed as our Bfeilteit Calling, and though Ministers served annually for $5,000 and Members and Senators for $600, a seatfiin the Commons or Senate counted for more, relatively, than they do today, and at- gilcfcd nrcu 0f foremost ability, as they do not always now. "Slims ls at present bigger than politics and millionaires arc. ml-lluillYlng in tllc land. Who was there in all Canada whose pri- vate fortune was expressed in seven figures in i867? ‘ S0 thcrc were great men and new men, and great and new questions as well, to furnish subjects for ‘the pens of the gallery scribes and thc editors at home in those days. "There were three ‘general elections in the first seven-year period, secession rampant miNoya Scotia and rebellion in the Northwest, occasional Fenian ‘raids, the pilrcliasc of the vast Hudson's Bay Territory, the carv- ing out of thc first new Province therein, the. bringing in of Brit- ish Columbia and Prince lidtvard Island, the binding together of the whole fabric u-itli bands of stccl by the Intcrcolottial and the C Canadian Pacific railways, the organization of the federal scr- vlccs, the lmlkiilg of one (fztllzltiiail tariff to replace the differing provincial schedules, the zlbolitioil of dual representation, the bringing in 0f the ballot, thc settling of the serious quarrels with our neighbors to thc south. (Iver these and other great questions our statesmen tlcbatcd and deliberated as serious men who were conscious that they were laying the foundations of a ‘great State. And their ability and earnestness lent at dignity to Parliament WhlCfi it scarcely possesses today, There ivas, on the other hand, a strong note of provincialism among the members from the different Provinces, which made it difiicillt to fuse the various elements that were brought together, and even to enforce party discipline. This cropped up strongly when the first tariff was brought in and sent some of the New Brunswick supporters of the Government almost into revolt. That n bread-tax and further taxes on our \Vtcst India trade would be imposed by the Catiztdiatts if once they got us in their power, had been zealously proclaimed by all the anti-Confederates in the Mari- time Provinces nnd as earnestly denied by those who supported the Union movement. To the dismay of the Maritime Unionists, a duty 0n flour and increased diltics on sugar and molasses was now proposed. "Fhcy were loud in their protests.

micr and Attomry-Ccncral, sccomlcd by his brothcr-in-laug Charles Connell, hastily scrawled an nmemltilcilt to rcfcr back to tlic com- mittee with instructions to strike out thc duty ou~ flour and rctlucc the duties on icn, sugar, tnolnsscs “and several other articles.” That was all lic had time to write before ‘flit evil would be coll- summnted. In an instant illc ycns and tiny; were called. "Charles Fisher and ‘scvcral other mcnlbcrs’ will stand tip," sneercd Sir- John, with mocking rcfcrctlcc to Fisher's loosely worded resolu- tion, Some very angry New Brunswick nlemtbers rose t0 their feet, with others from Nova Scotia, only to be outvoted by a laugh- ing House. Thereafter thcrc was a duty on flour, much more irritating than burdensome to the people of the east, and it did not lessen the irritation when the gossip of thc lobbies and smok- ing-room repeated other sarcastic references of Sir John t0 llw “two Charlies." »

The bread-tax, as it was called, long remained a. sore subject in the east, but the incident serves chiefly to show something of the sectional feeling of the time and also as illustrating Sir johrfs method of imparting a lesson in discipline. He was always qulfc intolerant of any independent nctioitt among his followers. The newspapers of the sntallcr Provinces in their then brief and some- times prejudiced reports of the proceedings in Parliament, sel- donl failed to record even a trivial matter such as that just mcn- tioned, and these had their cffcct upon the public mind. It waS not long till Mr. Fisher accepted an offered judégshtp, and Mr. Connell gravitated to the Opposition. T he IVIaritlme people were quite provincial yet, and it \\'.'lS not pleasant reading for them that their public men should be. cvell at infrfllllfim mtefvalfffdlclfled across the floor, either from tho Ministerial or the Opposition side. Hence, when Alexander Illackcnzie rctorted to ‘Tllley that “the honorable gcntlematfs logic was as bad as hi5 grammar’ f“ when D'Arcy McGee infiltrated that Mr, Anglin “satltherc, not on a Sea,’ but on a three-legged lie," the effect on the eastern tmfld was far more inflating than if the words had been applied by men of the tame Province to one another. In not a few cases tile men of the east and the west, like boys at school, formed tlictr first acquaintance by nrt exchange ofmetaphorical ltard knocks, only to become fast friends thereafter. . - _ ...
