Tue Darty EXAMINER,
SEPTEMBER 20, 1881.
Principal Grant on the North- West.
delivered a few days ago by Principal Grant, under the auspices of the Temperance Colonization Soeiety :-—
This is owr country. Is it reasonable to entertain a peculiar affection for one’s own country, to glory in its past, to dream of its future, to exult in its well-being, and— in the language of Burns—to have a tide of prejudice in its favor boiling in our veins ?| Or, should we care for all countries alike, | and sneer at patriotisin and sentimentalism, perhaps wax righteously indignant at it as Chauvanism ? On this subject my mind is made up. I think as lit‘le of the man who overlooks the peculiar claiu.s oi country as of the man who overlocks the peculiar claims eof home. Every true man lovingly beholding his own home, says, ‘ This is mine. I don’t mean that it is better than my neighbor's, but it is mine, and that makes all the difference, as far as I am con- cerned.” Right he is, no matter though citizens of the world may call him narrew, and tell him that it is his duty to love every Other woman as well as he loves his own wife. Cosmopolitanism that rises stiperior to the peculiar claims of family and country is another name for selfishness, and every form of selfishness threatens the life of the State and destroys the cement of society. This, then, is eur country, and we have got to make the best of it, not with a grudge either. It may be as small us Scotland, or Holiand, or Switzerland, or Greece. Whst of that! The history of the werld would be the poorer were their histories blotted from its pages. It mey be composed of parts as apparently hopelessly separated from each other as was the case with Prussia last century. What of that! The cold of Russia conquered in a night the conquervr of Europe. It may consist of provinces each as keen about its own in- teresL and rights, and as jealous of its neighbors’, as the thirteen States to the south of us were acentury ago. What of that! No one doubts now that the United States are a sovereignty one and indivis- ible. Ina word, every country has its own difficulties and drawbacks. Of course they would rather not have these. Butin wrestling with these difficulties we may find that what seemed a curse turns eut a blessing in disguise. We have to make the best, then, of our own country. And when we look at it we need not com- plain of our lot. This Canada is not so atern and wild as Caledonia; not threat- ened by the ocean like Holland ; not so mountainous as Switzerland; not so small
jas Greece; not split into fragments as was
the Prussia of Frederick the Great ; not without winter ports like Russia; not com- mencing its national career with an in- heritance of hate for the Mother Land like the Great Republic. To us the fates have been more propitious. I know this Canada well, from Newfoundland to the Pazeific, and can speak of it without doubting. I include Newfoundland, because it will unite with its sisters at the right time, and a hearty welcome we shal! give to this the oldest of the British American colonies, whose claims to distinction are not suffi- ciently well known. Most of you think of this Miss Colonia as a fog-bank, a land of mist and snow and driving rain. Visit it. More healthy, rnddy-cheeked men and maidens are not to be found on the planet. The hospitality of the people is of the goed old-fashioned kind. The weslth and re- sources of the country are marvellous. Nowhere do the banks pay such dividends ; no colony exports so much in proportien to its population. Cross from the Inmber and farming country round St. George’s Bay to Cape Breton, and go down any one of the score of coal pits that open up out on the ocean; inspect the harbors; steam through the enchanting little Bras d’Or; talk with the giant farmers and fishermen on the hillsides; look at the fertile inter- vales and plateaus of Victoria and Inver- ness, on which millions of thoronghbred cattle for the British market should be grazing. Then go to Prince Edward Is. land, the gem of the gulf, or to Nova Scotia proper, with coal, iron, and gold side by side, where you can sail for a hundred miles over the exhaustless pastures of the sea coast, or ride for a hundred miles under apple blossoms. Next come the forests and the magnificent rivers and vaileys of New Brunswick. Those Maritime Provinces contain already more thana million of people, second to none in the world, in physique, in intelligence, in morale, in everything that inspires hope for the future. Now we come to the country that was first called Canada, with its romantic and stirring memories, of which we are as proud as any French-Canadian ean be. Nothing in the revelation of the last census pleased me more than to learn that Quebec province is growing with so steady and vigorous a growth. I had good reasons be- | forehand for believing that such was the case ; but to be assured of it was none the less a satisfaction. We need not speak of Ontario, with its well-nigh two millions of population. If you wish to see a monn- ment of its resources, and the skill and energy of its people, look around.
But we have to sing greater things still. The Prairie Province, and the Saskatche wan, aud the boundless plains of Peace river, all are ours. ‘ shail never forget the impression that the first glimpse of the North-West made upon me. Under the light of @ bright morning sun,a flower- scented breeze blowing that made the blood lilt in every vein, the prairie stretched far away to an apparently limitless horizon, the coriopsis gave a gleam of gold to the abounding green, while prairie roses and innumerable asters at your feet made a beautiful carpet wherever you trod, But it
)was only when [had ridden day after day
for a month, deeper and deeper into the
The following is the full text of a speech ,Cowntry.
he rt of the land that I teok in the mean- ing of the North West and saw the vision of the foture. When 1 returned to Halifax and told the people that I expected te live long enough to see as many British subjects west of the Red river as there are now on this side of it, people called me an enthnusi- ast. and aitacked me fer inducing Nova Scotians to settle in such a locust-ridden Nobody accuses me of enthusi- asm now. What is wrong now is tle sobriety of my statements, and the fact that I warn intending iumigrants, just as I did some years ago, that they must expect d‘fficulties, some of them new and form- idable, and that they should prepere in time to meet them. I do not wonder at this. A great many 2stimable people never sce beyond their noses. Some don’t see that far. They sce only what other peo- ple tell them is under their noses, and if you see a trifie further they are apt—with a curious felicity of language—te accuse you of bad logie.
Lam not going to deseribe the North- West to-day. Everybody is now doing that. Besides, it is too big for anyone to get his arms round it in an afterneon’s speech, Neither de I intend to describe the difficulties in the way of settlers. These vary ip various districts. Perhaps the only omnipresent evils are the land speculator, and next to him--as far as blood-seeking goes- the mosquito. Buteven these can be checkmated. Tax the speculator, and ‘*smudge” the mosquito ; keep them both out of your premises, as far as possible, and if they get in show them no quarter. What | would like to say a few words about is how best to overcome the difficulties. My answer to this all-important question is ‘*by combination and co-vperstion.” In the presence of vast manifestations or forces of nature, the individual is insiguificant and ail but helpless. Alone on the ocean, in the desert, on the unsettled prairie, he is pretty much in one and the same pesition. ut combine, and everything is possible. Do your own speculating. The Government or the syndicate will give better terms to.a colony than toa unit. Surround yourselves with your own friends and kinsfolk. Dis- pense with fencing to take an illustration of common action, by doing like the Menno- nites, appointing one boy or girl to herd the cattle of a village or of a score of farmers. ifake your own laws and regulations at the outset, and exclude everything that exper- ience shows to be prejudicial to the com- mon weal. Kach member of the body traly thrives, only as the body thrives. Holding these views, | was glad to be informed by uren representing farmers’ lodges and tem- perance organizations, that it was their in- tention to form a vast colonization society and te work it on the fundamental principle that strong drink is not to be sold within whatever extent of territory the society may acquire. Now, though all of us here are not abstainers, {am sure that all of us rejoice that such an experiment is to be made. All believe that drankenness, and the drinking habits that lead to it, are bad for the individual and bad for the country; that northern nations are peculiarly liable to this sin, and that the climate of our con- tineut makes drinking tell more speedily eni fatally on the human frame hcre than ian Europe. Keep strong drink then out of as wide a section as possible of that great North-West which is te be the home of our children. It is quite true that wise men look with suspicion upon sumptuary laws, or laws that attempt to regulate what we are toeatand drink. But let me note a distinction that has been too little attended to. Sumptuary laws imposed from without are bad. Imposed from within, they are the free expression of our own experience. Imposed by a minority, or a bare majority, they lead to evasions, contempt of law, and sc a hypocrisies. Sustained by an over- wheiming force of public opinion, they may have an educative value. Freely accepted by all, they are simply the voice of the reason and censcience of the community. No man’s freedom is assailed, because the restriction was accepted to begin with, just as we accept other restrictions that society has found to be necessary or useful. Here then, is a great practical scheme round which temperance men, farmers and patriots may rally. The North-West is to be em- phatically a country of farmers, and wher- ever there are plenty of prosperous farmers, all other classes follow. The land supports all. This great country is yours. It is yours, to make or to mar. You have the power in your own hands. No power on earth dreams of interfering with you. There is your heritage You can make what laws vou like. You are free to make and unmaks Governments. Send yeur wisest men to your legislatures, then ; not the men who flatter, not the men whe awear by party, but the men you have found most level-headed and most trustwerthy in your own counties. Avoid extreme men, fanatics of every kind. There are religious and irreligious fanaties, sccial and political fanatics. The religious fanatie does not understand the Bible. Ue believes in a shibboleth that he calls catechism, confes- sion, or creed. The irreligious fanatic does not understand the universe. To him it is all a great projection of self. The social fanatic does not understand human nature.
‘He pins his faith to some nostrum or
panacea. The political fanatic does not anderstand Grip. He loves the sweet simplicity of a party paper, Have patience with them all, but avoid them as leaders.
Our country is groving rapidly enough for my ambition. At the rate of growth ef the past decade we shall have, in the course of a little more than a century, as large a population as Great Britain now nas. Thatis haste enoughfor me. Instead of imploring people from other lands to come, i would like to keep a bit of Canada for our’ own children and grandchildren. For what is a century in the life of a nation? We often forget how rapidly we are growing. Look at this wonderful ex- hibition, and then ask, how long it took for a'l this to geow together. Why, a cen. tury azo, Ontario was one vast, silent, un- bro forest. Who made the wilderneas
to blossom? Our fathers, hy hard, honest
jtoil. All this is their monument. Honcr, then, the memery of the brave and true men inte whise labors we have entered. Our national growth is as vigorous as that ef any province in partievlar. Fifteen or twenty years ago Canada consisted of .On- tario and Quebec. The Maritime Provinces kuew nothing of you. You knew nothing of them. The North-West beloriged to the buffaloes. Now, I can visit Halifax with- out being collared and foreed to turn my trunk inside out. Next year, thank Ged, we can visit Winnipeg just as freely. Now, I feel the pulscs of national life beating everywhere- Perhaps the young men at our universities ars the best representa- tives Of the people. They come direct from the field, the forest, the farm, the home circle, everywhere. I have heard their cries. They are sound to the core, every man of then. We are growing, not only in material wealth and political development. Within the last ten or twelve years universities in Nova Scotia have received more than a quarter of a million of free gifts. The chancellor of McGill officially declares its wealth to be 609,000, all of it voluntarily contributed, and he now asks and of course will receive $150,009 more. A quarter of a million has been given to the university with which I am connected during the past ten years, and we expect a million and a quarter in
the next ten. The spirit that animates our people may be traced also in .its struggling literature and
art, and above all in the combination of earnestness and catholicity that is beginning to characterise its religious life. God save Ireland ! cries every Irishman, And what is Ireland? A little island, much of it_ hopeless bog and moor, all of it undera pall of weeping skies, surrounded by a mel- ancholy ocean, and refusing bread or pota- totees to half ef its children. How much more cause has every Englishman, Scotch- man, lrishman, Frenchman and German in Canada, to cry, ‘‘God save Canada. !” (Cheers. )
