EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22

Sir John McDonald's Speech on the Addref&.

THe following is Sir John MeDonald’s apeech on the Address :

| Mr. Speaker, I am sure that the House has listened with great pleasure and great

instruction—-because we heard some no- _ velties—to the speeches of the hon. gentile- men who have moved and seconded the Ad- ‘dress. They have done it with all the

ability of experienced parliamentarians. It

used to be the practice for the Mimistry of | the day to get young members of Parlia- ‘ment to flesh their maiden swords in mov- ing and seconding the answer to the Queen’s ispeech, The hon gentlemen have changed that practice, and, instead of giving young members an opportunity to show what they

. were made of, they have, perhaps. wisely, | | placed their case in the hands of men of} lexperiende. Why young men were not ) asked, 1 do not know. Perhaps the article | is scarce now, or perhaps the government think that their case is such that they re- i quire all the experience and ability which : those hon. members, the mover and second- er, possess beyond a doubt. I should have . been very glad —it would have assisted us a , good deal m the dascussion of the Address /-~had we been favored with some explan- , tions as to the changes in the Administra- tion since we last met. We have had dis- } solving views which would have done credit | to the greatest artists and professors of dio- jrama. The changes have been se great, so | freqnent and ao continuous that one eannot {help thinkmg of the statement of the old monk, who, when showing the jietures of the convent to a stranger, waid, ‘‘ [ have

been here so many years, there have been so many changes, I have lost

sO many of my L «am _ beginning __ to

companions, that think — that

the pictures are the realities and we are the shadows.’ While the House

of Commons is the substance, the Ministry of the day since 1874 are but the shadows flitting along the wall, which, by-and-bye, with the light of day and the intelligence of the people, will disappear. We are not, however, to get those explanations until by-and-bye. We will wait for them with all patience—patience if we are obliged to observe it. The country is patient with the | present Government, although there are some signs of impatience, as I think hon. gentlemen opposite will admit; and we must be also patient until we get these ex- planations. The secender of the resolu- tions has made a most admirabie speech and a earefuily prepared one, for he always takes care that he speaks with due premeditation, after fully weighing the value of his words, and, in consequence, his words are imbre valuable because. they are not the result of sudden impulse. I know the hon. gentle- man carefully thinks out a speech before he delivers it. I have known him to think out carefully the whole question of the rev- enue of the country, and [ have, with great delight and great pleasure, heard him de- liver a magnificent speech, showing that Protection was the «ne thing requisite for this country. The hon. gentleman says he congratulates this country on the first para- graph of the Address, that we are only called upon to attend to the ordinary busi- ness of the country while England is threat- ened with war—which we are not going to have—and the United States is. threatened with discredit in connection with the Silver Bill. Ihave simply to say that we have perhaps enough to do with managing our own aflairs, without throwing discredit upon the affairs of our neighbors, who are able to attend to their own business ; for, with all the ability of the hon. member for North Norfolk (Mr. Charlton), I think there are men in the United States of equal ability. The hon. gentleman has said that the United States had conferred great honor on the Governor-General, by the President return- ing his visit when His Excellency was in Washington. It was a great honor, but no doubt His Excellency would survive it. But I can assure the hon. gentleman that, if he continvies to use such language as he has just used regarding the Umted States, namely, that the legislation of the United States was going to bring discredit on that country, I think it very unlikely that a President or any public man of the United Seates would return a visit from him. But we are congratulated on the fact that, while war is threatening the Old World and dis- credit the New World, we are above all af- fairs of war and discredit, and have only to attend to the ordinary business of the coun- try. lam very glad to hear the announce- ment that at last we have a Reform Govern- ment with nothing to reform, and only the ordinary business of the country to carry on. [can cordially agree with my hon. | friends, the mover and seconder of the Ad- dress, in the language they have used with respect to the illustrious individual who now so worthily represents the Queen in this country, and who, to the regret of both sides of this House and those whom we re- present, will not be much longer with us. His career in this country it would be pre- sumptuous in me to speak of. I shall only say, with respect to Their Excellencies, that

I quite agree that no language is to strong to convey my opinion and the opinions of | the gentlemen forming the Opposition in| this House, as well as the opinion of hon. gentlemen opposite, and the opinion of the whole country, as to the conduct of His Excellency the Governor-General since his arrival in this country. He will take with him the good wishes, the esteem, the re- gard, and, I may say, the affection of the people of Canada; and, as he is a young man, and apparently a strong man, we may look forward with some expectation and

hope that he will for inany years, in the ripe career that awaits him in the future, be our friend in the Parliament of England and in the counsels of the Empire ; and not only a friend, but a friend who is acquaint- ed with all the desires, all the wishes, re- quirements and resources of this country. He possesses, Lam glad to know it, infor- mation thaf, he has gathered. from every Province in the Dominion, andl can only regret that he is taking that information away with him, and that when he visited the various sections of this country, he did

not have some of his Ministers with him, expecially when he went far west to the Pacific slope, for there they might have ob-

tained some information which I am sorry

to say they are in need of at present. With regard to the arbitration clauses of the Washington Treaty, [am glad to know that that arbitration has been concluded, that an award has been made, and L have no doubt-udess hon. gentleman opposite will inform us theris a doubt—the award will be carried ont according to the terms of the Washington Treaty by the United States, and by the United States Government. We are congratulated, and we are called upon to congratulate His Excellency, that the exhibition of Canadian products at Sydeny has been successfully carried out, and we are also called upon to thank His Excel- lency for informing us that preparations have been carried on during the last six months with regard to the Paris Exhibition.

These are important clansés in one sense, and, although we are not told we are to get a report with respect tothe Australian Fx- hibition, and although the Speech does not contain any promise that the papers will be brought down, [I hope,. notwithstanding there isa lack of promise, there will be abundant performance in the way of sub- mitting the papers to the House. The success of the exhibition inade by Canada at Paris, is of very great importance, | be- lieve, to the future of the Dominion. I be- lieve there can be, and there oughi to be, increasing commerce between France and Canada. Tt ought to be eneouraged and as- sisted in in every possible way, and I be- lieve the exhibition ot our products at Paris, if fairly and properly laid before the con- tinental world, will be of great benefit to this country. I urge and implore the Goy- erninent to consider well whom they have to represent them there. I ask them to consider whether. they should not select mei of good manners withont too much self-contidence, who will listen a little and be at all” events civil to Canadian exhibitors and strangers whe go to do their part in showing what Canada really is to the Parisian, French and European public. But the hon. member for North Norfolk (Mr, Charlion), who seconded the Address, while he highly approved of those two clauses, said our manufactures are Hourishing, that our manufactures are, comparatively speak- ing, in a most successtul position, and that those manufactures have been developed by the Australian Exhibition and will be de

veloped by the forthcoming Exhibition at Paris. Much as [ would like to have our manufactures develop in France and Au- stralia, | would much preter that they should have been fully developed at home; that we should have a home trade, a system of home manufactures and. encouragement to home manufactures, which is twice blessed —which blesseth him that gives and him that re- ceives—the giver and the receiver alike he- ing in ow own county. Why, the hon. gentleman wil! not admii, apparently, that our manufactures are undersold in their own market by those of the neighboring country whose misery and wretchedness he deplores, and whom he speaks of in a rather depreci- atory way when comparing the commercial and manufacturing condition of the United States with that of Canada, and, strange to say, while the United Staies is in such a state of depression, while there is such mis- ery there in consequence of the protective system—a system which the hon. gentleman advocated, Il am told, with wonderful ability on the floor of the House, and within three years ago, too—while he deplores the mis- eries of the position of United States manu- factures, and, while he compares with ex- ultation the flourishing state of our mann- factures, he loses sight of the fact that the whole of the manufacturing population of England is ai this moment awakening to a feeling of alarro at being undersold in their own markets by American manufacturers. The hon. gentleman is always offering a challenge to bring on a discussion on the trade question; but [think we must post- pone that till by and by, for the hon. gentle- man will have many opportunities during the present Session of vindicating his pres- ent opinions, if they continue to the end of the Session, or maintaining the opinions which ke 0 ably advocated three Sessions ago. We must all concur in the langnage of the address with regard to to the misfortune which happened to the city of St. John—a wonderful misfortune, a dreadful misfortune. A great woe passed over one of ovr commereial cities, and, while I would compliment the Government for their promptitude in coming forward in the manner they did, still I believe the country would have sustained them, and the Oppo- sition in this House weuld have sustained

\them, had their aid not only been imme-

diate but twice as liberal. With regard to the treaties with the Indians, of eourse we cannot judge of them until the papers are laid before the House. I am glad, however, to know that they are no more onerous, or

scarcely a8 onerous, as previous treaties. | reason to

1878, NO.240,

in the congratulations and felicitations con- tained in the Address on that happy result having been arrived at. But with respect to the next paragraph,the eighth paragraph, regarding the number of Indians having come into this country, Lthink IT must ask the honorable the Premier to make an alteration in its terms by amending»it slightly, for I think it commits us i a anan- ner to which | do not thimk the House wii) willingly. commit itself... The paragraph reads :—

‘*That we learn, with much interest, that

early in last summer, a large body of Indians under Sitting Bull, from the United States, crogsel into British territory, te escape from the United States troops, aud have since re- inated on the Canadian stde; and that the United States Government made a friendly but muisuccessful attempt to maduce these Indians to return to their reservations. And that we agree with His Excellency, in hoping that stich arrangements may yet be made as may lead to their permanent aul peaceful settlement, and tlius relieve Canada of 2 source of uneasiness and a heavy expenditure.’ For my part I would be intinitely more pleased if arrangements could be speedily made to effect their peaceful removal, rather than their permanent and peaeeful settle- ment

Mr. MiLts.

Str Jonn A. McDowaip. -[t is ijrite the contrary. The Indians are in Cauada and their settlement must therefore he in Canada. | don't wean to say that auch was the mtention of hon. gentlemen op- posite, if they say so, but they might ob- viate any difficulty by amending the clause so as to read: *‘And that we agree with His Excellency in hoping that such arrange- ments inay yet he-made, as may lead to

It is a0),

their peaceful remoyal.”

Mr. McKenzm.—-The intenion certainly was settlement on their own reservatiens in the United States. We have no objection to make the change.

Sir Jonn A. McoDowarp.—i hope the Government will consider it to be their paramount duty in dealing with these In- dians, to remeinber that we have enough Indians of our own, and that we don’t want the presence of others in ovr midst, &8- pecially of such as come te this county with the sanguinary feelings of a recent war rushing in then veins, and animated from day today wit those impulses to which savages are liable to rush aeross our bor ders into the United States and carry de- vastation, outrage aml murder into that country. Lobserve there is no allusion whatever te the visit of the hon. the Minis- ter of the Interior to Washington, which we saw mentioned in the newspapers, and there isno promise of papers in connection with that mission. Of course, what the nature and-extent of the mission was we know not until we obtain these papers ; but looking at it as an ontsider, it occurs to me, on the first tmapression, that it was a great and obvious wustake. The United States Government are bound to keep their own Indians ovt of cur country as we are bound to keep our Indians out of the United States. It is true there nvust be a reasonable under- standing between the two countries. We must control our Indians, we are constitu- tionally bound to do so; that by a savage impulse they shall not rush across our borders into the neighboring country. The United States could not, however, pre- vent those people coming inte our coun- try, although they were constitution- ally bound to do so, and there must, of course, he a system of mutual concessions on account of the exceptional nature of the invasion. Nevertheless, the position is this: ovr horders wére erossed and. our coun- try invaded by red men frem the United States, and we had a right to hold the United States, technically and constitution- ally, to account for those Indians coming across into our country; but, if we send an Ambassador to Washington where he makes terms to keep Sitting Bull still sitting in our country, I would prefer to present a petition to deprive him of his seat rather than keep hin in the Dominion. It is quite clear that, unless that mission was of the most guarded nature, the fact of the hon. the Minister of the Interior or any member of the Canadian Government going to Wasir- ington to settle the matter there, instead of the United States Government sending an agent here to account, to apulogize, to ex- ense or to justify the invasion from the United States, was an error that must he accounted for, There is no douht regarding that point. In the Address we are called upon to state our pleasure at knowing that i the surveys of the Pacific Railway have been i pressed to completion during the past sea- ' son, and we are told it ia believed that the ‘additional information now obtained will

enable His Excellency’s Government to de- | termine whieh route is the most advantag- (cous from Tete Jaune Cache to the sea. | Well, it ocenrs to me that, if this informa- | tion has been in the hands of the (sovern- iment for any length of time, it should have fenabled them to inform us that they have determined such route, whereas this resolu- ‘tion simply states that it is hoped, that it is believed. We on this side of the House are /desperate believers: we may believe, and ‘iiay be called upon to state that we believe that the additional information now ob- tained will enable them to determine which ,route is most advantageous. But when, i how, or at what time is not stated, not even | whether it is to be determined during the present Session or a year hence. (To be Continued. )
