at that time, in the English Parliament, men who held strong opinions that the ‘colonies were not properly treated, while others held that the revolt in the American colonies was merely an ebulition of temper,

and that in a short time they would come back to their old allegiance. Prominent amongst those men who considered the

Burke, and it will be remembered that on several occasions, in his addresses to his constituents at Bristo!, how distinctly and how vigorously he pleaded for the rights of the colonies at that time. Previous to the period when the United States ceasel to be English colonies,their fishermen had access tu the fisheries in the Maritime Provinces. They knew all the ins and outs of the fish- eries; they knew the haunts of the fish of Canada; they were experts on that coast then as they are experts to-day as_fisher- men. After the Declaration of Indepen- dence, down to the year we made the treaty with them, we permitted them as friends and neighbors to pursue their avocations as

the Maritime Provinces.

with a view to a treaty, the United States was asked to make a

the views that that couutry entertained with regard to our fisheries. I will recall one or two incidents, the details of which will be found by any gentleman who takes up Hannay’s **Acadia,” ation of Independence by the United States a great many loyalist families came down to

iand Newfoundland. Members of the same family under different flags and different constitutions were continually visiting each other, sometimes with friendly intentions and at other times a different nature. We ‘find that on occasion, from Newburyport, |Massachusetts, there came a number of /men in a shallop, and landed at the head of the Bay of Fundy, came across into Bay Verte and there seized a schooner, took her ‘into Pictou where the Scotch ship ‘‘Jane” of Dundee, was discharging goods fur the merchants, and there took possession oi the ship and took her over into Bay Verte, rifled her of her contents and held her until messengers were sent through the woods from Pictou to Halifax, when the British sloop of war ‘‘ Boxer” recaptured

rights on the fishing grounds, but their boats were destroyed, their nets were ‘destroyed, and every outrage that could be

isuffered was committed on people who were

junable to protect themseives in isolated iplaces, so that it was necessary that some- ‘thing should be done. There was the very | best of fseling between the two countries as ‘a whole at that time. There were fisheries lall around the coasts of the New England

a SPECIAL LOT OF+ STAPLE ‘colonies at that time, as good as ours in cer-

tain seasons in the year, but not so good as |our deep-sea fisheries. It was necessary in those days, as 1t is now, for every nation te have training schools for their seamen, for (without, them: po nation, can have miluenve

increased that they axhausted their own fisheries to such a degree that in 1853 the value of the fisheres controlled by the Americans was not 3 per cent. as compar- ed with what it was afew years previous. If you go down into the Department of Fisheries here, and ask the Deputy Minis- ter to show you the different devices that are inj use for the destruction of the fisheries, hon. gentlemen would be sur- prised to see the variety. He will tell you also that the very same means are Now being utilized by the Americans to destroy our fisheries that were years ago employed

destroy their own. In 1853 we discussed the question with them. They acknowledg- ed that we had a virgin fishery, and to have access to that fishery they were willing to make a treaty, which was entered into and which lasted ten years, and which was greatly in their favor, Was that an act of unfriendliness on our part? Was thut the act of a people disposed tc be unfriendly or uaneighborly ? I say, no. I say that his- tory does not prove anything of the kind. When we sat down, later on, in Ha! fax, to discuss the question there in 1876, what was the result? The Americans had some of the ablest men in the United States as their representatives, and an arbitrator was named who was looked upon as being so far removed from any entanglement be- tween England and the United States that he could be depended upon for an honest verdict. What was the result of that ar- bitration? We got $5,000,000. After they had exhausted, with all the experts, all the ingenuity, all the tact, and all the perseverance, and all the intelligedce they could bring te bear, the whole of the de- partment at Washington, including their shipmasters, fish merchants and every wit- ness from amongst the 50,000,000 of their population who could throw any hght on this question in their favor, we were al- lowed five million dollars for our fisheries. After the expiration of the treaty we allowed them, under the modus vivendi, to have access to our fisheries until such time as the public men of the United States should be brought to see this thing in the way the arbitrators who had considered this question and seen it. Of the population of the United States, 600,000 are engaged in the fisheries, directly or in- directly, end when they made representa- tion at Washington, though a small pro- portion of the people, Congress thought, as we would think if a proportion of our people came to Parliament and said that their rights are trampled on, our sym- pathies would go with them. We are told that our fisheries have no value for the people of the United States. Mr answer to that is : if you take up the report pub- lished in January last by the Fisheries Bureau of the United States you will find that about one hundred fishermen of the Glouchester fleet have taken out licenses to fish in our waters, for which privilege they paid $9,589.50, and I am astonished to hear any hon. gentleman say, in the face of such facts, that our fisheries are of no value to the Americans. I sat quietly in my seat when that statemeut was made before, but | vowed that the first opportu- nity 1 would have I would state my opinion on the question, and give my reasons for the faith that isin me. While holding these opinions, I am still with our |Government in holding out the olive branch. With regard to the question be- fore the House, | think we may be thank- ful to the hon. gentleman from the North- west, who presented his case so clearly and ‘distinctly before us. His speech, at all events, showed a great deal of thought and ‘careful consideration, and I may say that, speaking of Canada, he is speaking of a country which we ourselves can have very little conception of by merely glancing at the map of it. A recent writer, referring to Canada, says :—

‘It is difficult to afford an adequate con- ception of the vastness of this country. Eng- land, Wales and Scotland form together an area of 88,000 square. miles you could cut forty such area: out of Canada,

‘*New South Wales contains 300,175 square miles, and is larger by 162 square miles than France, continental Italy and Sicily. Canada would make eleven countries the size of New South Wales.

‘- There are (in extent) three British Indias in Canada, and still enough left over to make a Queensland and a Victoria.

‘The German Empire could be carved out of Canada, and fifteen more countries the same size.”

We may feel proud of a country such ar this, and proud cf the position she occu- pies and her promise of a glorious future. In a few years many gentlemen who sit around these benches will be gone, but events are moving rapidly, and things that see n difficult at the present time will, in a few years, after we are” gone, perhaps even in our time, be no longer difficult. There is no man in this chamber who will deny that within the last thirty or forty years in the lives of many of us, great strides have taken place with regard to facilities for transport both by land and by sea. Only a few years ago it was considered an impossi- bility to build a railway across this conti- nent. Weweretold it was madness to undertake it, and that its completion would not be seen by the then Government or many Governments tocome. But we have lived to see that railroad an accomplished fact, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and we are proud of it. Every day we hear of railroads encrgaching on the cities. Jn-

atéal of having cities stagnating with-

to draw able seamen. It was with these they are views in men’s minds that we were asked to

‘out communication with each other, peing encroached on for the accommodation of the rapidly grow- ing traflic of the country. We are improving in our ship-building—from wood to iron, from iron to steel—and_ the lday is not far distant when we shall have reached the discovery of some other lmaterial than steel with which to build

at that time they had shore fisheries of their ships, or we will be in the same position

with our steel ships that were a few years ago when we had only wooden ships. As soon as that material is discovered which will have m..e bueyancy than wood and more tensile strength than steel we shall build ships, driven by electricity, that will cross the ocean in three or four days.

Some hon. gent:cinen—Hear, hear.

Hon Mr. Howlan— Hon. gentlemen may laugh. It is very easy tolangh. I have myself Jaughed in the same way a few years ago at statements that appeared to be inere- dible, and which are now everyday facts. I have in my hand a copy of the Quarterly Review, that was edited by as clever men and read by as wise men as those who laugh at my prophecy now. In 1819 a writer in the Review stated :

** We cannot but laugh at an idea so imprac- ticable as that of a good roadof iron upon which travel may be conducted by steam. Can anything be more utterly absurd and laughable than a steam wagon propelled and moving twice as fast as our mail coaches.”

So, again, with regard to the introduction of gas. Many anecdotes are told about William Murdock, in connection with his discovery, towards the close of last century, of combustible air or gas. An English paper says:

‘* So little was the invention understood and believed in by those who had not seen its use that even great and wise men liughed at the idea. ‘How could there be a light without a wick ? said a member of Parliament, when the subject was before the House. Sir Humphrey ridiculed tne idea of lighting towns by gas, and asked one of the proprietors if he meant to take the dome of St. Paul’s for a gas meter. Sir Walter Scott made himself very merry over the idea of illaminating London by smoke thongh he was glad enough, not so long after, to make his own house at Abbottsford light and cheerful on wintry nights by the use of that very smoke. When the House of Com- mons was lighted by gas, the architect im- agined that the gas ran on fire through the pipes and therefore insisted on their being placed several inches from the wallfor fear of the building taking fire. The members might be observed touching the pipe wich their gloved hands, and wondering why they did not feel warm. The first shop lighted in Lon- don by this new method was Mr. Ackerman’s, in the Strand, in 1810, and one lady of rank was 80 delighted with the brilliancy of the gas lamp on the couater that she asked to be allowed to take it home in her carriage ”

Task, hon. gentlemen how leng ago would they have believed it possible that any man could telephone a message from Montreal to Toronto? Then look at’ the progress of electricity. Supposing we had the material to build the ship that 1 speak of, with more buoyancy than wood and greater tensels strength than steel, and supposing you could harness electricity into it, isthere any reason why such a ship should not be driven across the ocean in less than four days. Parliament is being asked even now tu pass a bli to incorporate a company to build a railway from Quebec to Labrador. The incorporators may be looked upon as madmen, but they must be presumed to know what they are talking about, or they would not go to the expense of getting au Act of Parliament for their scheme. Un- fortuna‘ely for this country, we have not got a committee of exports to examine into the feasibility of those schemes. Here, every man is supposed to be his own engi- neer, aud examine for himself and draw his own conclusions, But supposing this scheme is a success, and we had a train run- ning through the Straits of Belle Isle, it would bring the ocean passage very close to the four days, even with the vesse's that we have at the presenttime. We have other capitalists looking for charters for railways from Manitoba and Like Superior to Hudson Bay. Lam proud to say that I am an advocate of Imperial Confederation, and | shall be glad to wel- come the day when some practical plan is proposed to work out this great question.
