Imperial Federation, in Relation to the Future of Canada. —_—_—__ PAPER READ BEFORE THE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE, FEB. 4TH, 1886, BY S. M. BENT.
(Coneluded.) .
Says a late Charlottetown paper, (Herald, Jan. 20, 1836):—
“Mr. Gladstene has declared that exports are the test of a nation’s prosperity. A correspondent of the London TYimes points out that Great Britain’s exports were at least £10,000,000 less last year than in 1875. Those of Germany have in- creased during the same pera’ by £40,000,000. those of Italy by £7,000,000, and those of the United States more largely still.”
Rule to Ireland, and the infusion of young and vigorous Colonist blood inte the withered veins of old England. It will give us a new lease of life, renew our youth like the eagles,” &c. This, in the face of the fact that Home Rule is an almost ac- | complished certainty, and no thanks to the | Federation League, is mere political clap- | trap, and all such arguments will. be ex- |ploded long before Imperial Federation becomes anything more thana seductive ‘dream of one section of political economists. | Federation, as far as Canada is concerned, isadream. England’s past history is derk
| with the stains of war, and she desires, by
Colonial connection, to wipe away the
|blood stains, and resume her position as
queen of the nations.
The dark panorama of Ireland's wrongs passes before the Celtic

Showing a large decrease of trade with Great Britain, while with the United States it remained nearly stationary, and with the West Infies a considerable increase. There was also a large increase with France, Germany and other European gountries,
A great argument used by®Federstion boomers is that British capitalists have £500,000,000 stg. invested in the Colonies. Well, they havo tha: money invested to make money ; but, mark you, enter a Free Trade Union with England, and most of it, if not all, will be withdrawn from the Colo. nies, and reinvested in English manufac- tures, and the Colonies will be the «losers.
What is the great need of Canada at the present time? Three words express it— Treaty making power. We want Treaties with the United States, with Brazil, with the West Indies. Free Trade, or rather Reciprocal Free Trade with these countries is what we need more than a closer union with Great Britain. Why should we not also have a treaty with Spain and Portugal, and share in the fish trade with those powers, now monopolized by Nowfound- land ?
The credit of Canada now stands higher ix, London than that of European powers, as shown by stock quotations.

These are the quotations for Sept. 12th, 1884.
Then comes the question of defence. We live in peace now, but under Federa- tion would be sooner ov later drawn into war. We can defend ourselves. We have seen the alacrity with which our troops sprang to arms to crush the late rebellion. We heard of agood deal of skulking too, and why? Because we have so long looked to England for proteetion, and, until we outgrow that idea, and learn to depend upon ourselves, we cannot become a strong, healthy nation. We are able to protect our country. We have 40,000 trained volunteers, a number we can easily double if necessary. Let us in future be self-reliant, and set ourselves a high stan- dard of nationality. Alex. F. Pirie, whom I have already quoted, points to our un- protected sea-coast, and tells us that should England and Russia go to war, we would certainly be attacked, as we are a depend- ency of Britain ; while if we were inde- pendent, he assures us, Canadian sea-coast defences world be needless, as Canada would not become an object of attack in England’s brawls. Ithink this idea will commend itself to your favorable attention, remembering that we have now neither internal nor external dissensions calling for war.
In concluding my remarks, which are necessarily condensed, and in which 1 have merely directed your attention to a few salient points, I trust that you will bear with me for a few moments longer, as f re- fer to the future of Canada, and her glorious possibilities. A political, social, commer- cial, naval, military, and academical union is the one advocated by the Federation League, or the Royal Colonial Institute,— for they seem to be synonomous terms,— who are evidently the motive power of a scheme which is sought to be forced upori the Colonies, uncalled for by the people. Canada knows her own wants better than England does, and should not waste her opportunities in more rhetoric. The British Islands are geographically situated for one parliamentary union, her East Indian possessions for a second, her Austra- lssian for a third, and her American for a fourth. If Canada’s ambition is to be something more than a mere dependency for a decaying power, let her also aim at being something more than a mere ‘‘snow fence,” as has been wittily expressed, for the United States. She will not be satis- fied with mere loyalty to the traditions of the part, but will develop faith in her own glorious destiny, her future independence, You smile at this, but ao independent nation she must be, under what form of Government you choose; whether a mon- archial or Republican the future alone can decide. Perhaps Oanada «nd Ausira'ia will take as kings sons of Vic- toria, when her death opens the way to| great and inevitable changes in the Empire.

loyal to Canada.
We have ties enough linking us to Eng- land. We are loyal to the person of the Queen, we are represented in the Privy Council, we have a heritage in the glorious literature of the nation acro s the Atlantic, and we cherish many childlike and brotherly feelings for the land of our forefathers, and we need no closer union.
We havea noble mission. We must do- velop and nationalizs Canada, not hamper
/her progress by helping to build up other
nations, ‘‘Self preservation is the first law of nature.” We have irebled in wealth and doubled in population since 1867, year by year we are growing, and with the growth of the nation national institutions are expanding. We enjoy rights and privileges which it would be madness to surrender, to sink in the bewitching glamor that fascinates some men, and causes them to look kindly on a scheme whose very principles are ,wrong, to us at least. We must preserve untouched our glorious liberty, our immunity from landlordism, which is the life blood of Eagland’s decay- ing Empire. We want no Botany Bay and Star Chamber history on the free soil of this fair young Dominion. We want no standing army, no muzzling of speech in Parliament, no new class distinctions, such as would follow in the wake of Imperial Federation.
Oil and water will not mix. Our imter- ests, sympathies and traditions are very different from those of England’s African or Indian dependencies, but we are more in harmony with those of Australia, and Australia, like Canada, will not federate.
We can preserve peace and harmony with other nations, we can regulate our trade and commerce, foster our manufactures, and protect all our rights, without looking to England for assistance, and by thus relying on ourselves we shall become stronger, more prosperous and independent, and more respected as a nation—and a nation we are bound to be in the near future. Our people are able to govern and protect themselves—why should they seek more! Nay, why should they accept more, when offered under the delusive guise of Federation? We are the equals of any nation in intelligence and self-governing power, and let us not sink our virtual in- dependence. Let us not cripple our future by taking up a share of England’s enor- mous burdens. Let us not resign our young nationality, to become « small con- stituent part of a prospective Empire of doubtful stability. We can support in the Northwest, opened up by a great railway, a population of 260,000,000, and there lies the future greatness of Canada. ‘‘ West- ward the Star of Empire takes its way.”
I have already shown that Canada, above all colonies, could not enter an Imperial Federation, because she would lose the French province of Quebec, as well as the Maritime Provinces, which are mainly people by exiles from the bills and vaies, the mountains and riversides of Scotland and Ireland. Itistrue that England has sown in North America the seeds ofa second empire,over which she shail exercise no stern, controlling hand. When the tree, which long since sprang up from those seeds, bears ripened fruit, Canada will be a free and independent nation, owning al- legiance only to the will of her own people, and no further fiefship to any European monarchy than the golden clasps and silken cords of kinship and tradition. She will still respect and love the motherland, as a child that has long since become a strong man loves his white haired mother, but still, in all financial, commercial, social and intellectual relations of life, standing erect and alons. and conscious of her own strength and power,—swayed perhaps by kindly counsell, but not tied to the Im- perial apron strings.
We must complete the unification of the people of Canada; sink all race prejudices, and petty differences and unsightly creed quarrels, all sectional and provincial jealousy, and become one in national senti- ment, in language, in literature, in the development of our exhaustless resources; one in a true Canadian nationality, a people respected the world over;one against foreign intrusion or interior revolution. Let us have faith in our future, and live up to that faith.
