DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
THE TARIFF AND OTHER MATTERS.
Orrawa, April 17, 1879.
A comparison of the speeches of Liberal members, made on previous occasions, with their speeches made during the discussion of the Tariit resolutions shows many glaring incensistencies. Mr. Charlton, Mr. Oliver, and Mr. McKenzie, had made protectionist speeches on several occasions. The Leader of the Opposition fairly winced on the night of the 10th inst., while the Hon. William MacDougald in his able speech quoted from a speech made by Mr. McKenzie in 1866. The following is the quotation, and shows that the member for Lambton is ready at all times to oppose Conservatives, whether their policy may be for the good of the country or not :—
‘*With regard to the merits of the question before the House, he did not believe in build- ing up manufactures by a protective system. But at the same time if the United Siates had adopted a policy whereby we lose them as a market we were bound to adopt such means as weuld make a market for ourselves. Un- der the policy of the Finance Minister manu- factures had grown up in the country, and it would be unjust to those who had embarked their capital in them that the protection should now be withdrawn without a moment’s warn- cag. He admitted that the policy of the Gov- ernment had not been in harmony with the tendency of public men towards free trade. But large interests had grown up under our system of incidental protection, which he con- sidered should not be destroyed. In reply te a question, he said he was in favor of the pro- tective system which had been the policy of the country for some years and under which interests had been created which the House should respect.”
One of the
MOST EFFECTIVE AND CRUSHING
speeches which the House _sihas listened to for some time was that delivered by Thomas White against Mr. Ross, of Middlesex, in defence of Mr. Tilley upon the temperance question. Mr. Ross under- took to underate the influence of the Fin- ance Minister upon this great question, and said he (Mr. Ross) had done more for tem- perance than Mr. Tilley; but, during the delivery of his harangue, let out his reasons for ceasing his agitation of the question in the House of Commons during the last five years. It appears that Mr. toss looked upon himself as the champion of the cause in Parliament, and was frequently bring- ing the matter of a prohibitory law before the House during the time that Sir John and his party held the reina of power six years ago. After the accession of his own party, Mr. Ross was no longer the blatant champion and advocate of temperance legislation. His reasons, as he stated a few evenings ago for remaining silent, were simply because the body which he repre- sented did not wish to embarass the Mc- Kenzie Administration. Mr. White show- ed how that gentleman perverted the cause which he professed to advocate, for political purposes. It appears that a committee of sixty gentlemen met ina room in the Par- liament building and instructed Mr. Ross how to act on the temperance question, and out of this sixty, only eight, were tee-total- ers. Thisis but another evidence of the political pertidy of some of the Liberal members who show their willingness to champion any cause, religious or otherwise, so long as that cause can be made to serve the ends of the ‘‘ pairty,” and by which they can ride into power. Mr. White's ex- pose was very much relished by the House, and the gentleman who claimed to have done more fer temperance than Mr. Tilley, was very much disconcerted, when the mo- tives of his active labors in the direction of temperance was made known to the House.
THE LETELLIER MATTER.
The morning after Sir John had made the announcement in the House of the advice given to the Governor-General by the Administration, the Liberals met in little groups in the corriders of the Parlia- ment Buildings and elsewhere, congratula- ting themselves upon the disturbance which they imagined the Letellier matter had created in the Conservative camp. All the Grit gentlemen wore the most satisfied look. ‘They were full of expectancy of the early dissolution of the House. Liberal caucuses were held, and gentlemen from Quebec were approached in a Smithsonian way and informed that Mr. McKenzie might intim:‘e to Gov. Letellier that that gentleman’s resignation would help in a great measure to restore the ‘ pairty”’ to power. But imagine the disgust of those patriots when they were informed by Mr. Mosseau and others in the House that nothing short of the dismissal of Governor Letellier would satisfy the French mem- bers ; and, furthermore, there was no wish on the part of the Quebec members to see Mr. McKenzie stultify himself merely te catch their votes.
MR. BRECKEN,
in his best style, dressed the Hon. Alex. McKenzie in a way that will not soon be forgotten by that gentleman. Mr. Brecken ‘felt that the Hon. Leader of the Opposition was seeking every opportunity in the House to show his feelings of enmity against the little Province that se nebly reversed its action of 1873. That the electors of Prince Edward Island are independent in their political support of men and measures, has been proved by the fact that no party has received a blind and partizan vote merely for the sake of party interests. Mr. Brecken have a better oc- was afforded him ihe
casion than
! ' :
other night, to resent the insulting insinu- ations made by Mr. McKenzie against the intelligence of the electors of P. E. I. That Mr. Brecken improved the opportunity was manifest by the great enthusiasm and ex- citement during the delivery of his speech. Members in all parts of the House ap- plauded and cheered the member for Queen’s, and this demonstration was all the mere earnest because Mr. McKenzie had brought the castigation upon himself by two or three derogotary references to Island politicians and Island people. The speech was talked of outside of the House next day, by many who had been in the galleries and listened to the delivery. Although Mr. McKenzie is well able to take his own part in debate on subjects which refer per- sonally to himself, yet | imagine he will be were careful in future in his remarks re- lating to Island affairs. He has found that he cannot with impunity indulge in sarcas- tic, sneering, and flippant asserticns upon those subjects in which the Island is imme- diately interested, and upon which her re- presentatives are determined to be heard. It was not always so. There wasa_ time when six mute, humble followers quietly witnessed attempts made by that hen. gentleman to rob the Province of her polit- ical rights.
THE PROJECTED LINE OF RAILWAY BETWEEN MONTREAL AND ST. JOHN.
An Act has been introduced to incorpor- ate the ‘‘ Atlantic and North-West Railway Company.” The aim of this Company is to amalgamate several existing lines be- tween Montreal and St. John, N. B., and to build several short connections, thus giving a much shorter route between the two cities than now exists. There are now built between Montreal and Maine 150 miles. A line is required between Magog and Sherbrooke, in the Province of Quebec, of 17 miles, and from Lake Megaratic to United States boundary a line of 13 miles. Total mileage required in Canada, 180 A line is needed from the boundary to Moorehead in Maine, of 73 miles, and from thence to Milo a short road of 35 miles run, from Milo to Lincoln required 15 miles of road, and from Lincoln to St. John are built 161 miles. The distance by this proposed route is 464 miles, while by the Intercolonial the distance is 761 miles. The saving that will be effected is 297 miles between St. John and Mont- real; and between the latter place and Halifax 119. The Bill calls for powers to enable the company to build another bridge across the St. Lawrence river te Montreal. and toextend their line, if necessary, to French River. The Committee before which this bill has been, recommend that before incurring the enormous outlay of building a new bridge across the St. Law- rence, every effort ought to be made to make the Victoria Bridge available, with a fair charge for its use. The scheme has a commendable aim, utilizing, to a great ex- tent, existing lines, and will give nearly an air line to the sea board and Maritime Provinces, thus recommending itself to the citizens of Montreal, St. John, and the Dominion at large.

While Edwin Booth was giving the soli- loquy in the last act of Richard IIL, at McVicker’s Theatre, Chicago, on the 25th, a shot was fired at him by a man sitting in the balcony. Booth sat still until after about three seconds,a second shot was fired, when he arose and started toward the left wing of the stage, pointing out, as he went, the assassin. The latter was at once seized, and but for the intervention of officers would have been roughly handled.
A letter received by a gentleman in Ottawa, states that an excursion is being ar- ranged in England upon the model of Cooke’s excursions, having in view a trip to Canada. The course is tracked from i- fax up the St. Lawrence to Ottawa, Toronto and Lake Superior, and back by way of Niagara, New York and Baltimore.
A private telegram received states that M. Joly, Premier of the Province of Que- bec, left for England on the 27th inst., in connexion with the Letellier matter. It is natural that Mr. Joly should be interested in the fate of his chief, for Letellier decapi- tation means Joly’s political obliteration.
