Noy It committed nobody to anything, said, though if any departure should be irundte from the speech it may safely be said bat Mr. McKenzie will endeavor ‘to hold to something. Mr. Mackenzie to quarrel » with Mr. Beecken for suggesting that the Prin cess would .add to eur loyalty, for, he said, there was. nothing to add. The Leader of the Opposition rather posed himself on the Pacific Railway paragraph. He professed, in effect, to be proud of his record in that direction. He seemed to think that there was no instance on record of so much work being done on a Pacific railway in so short a time. In tho matter of expenditure, perhaps Mr. McKenzie might claim to be without a rival in any record, but that was a point on which he did not dwell. Indeed, the hon gentle- man’s difficulty with regard to the Pacific Railway paragraph seemed to be a gram- matical one. Whether a_horse-chestnut was a chestnut horse was the point on which the eminent statesman dwelt fondiy. Whether the ‘* reasonable antici- pations ” of British Columbia could be h to cover all her anticipations, or such of them as the Government deemed ‘‘ reason- or none of them at all—that was the mental difficulty with which the hon. gen- struggled. Mr. Mackenzie made one very peculiar remark in the course of i He said that it had been ‘a proved by Sir John Macdon- s at Washington, that Canadians were capable of negotiating treaties for , with credit to the _ nation. He said he wasa little amused that the hon. mover of the Address should have gone out of his way to eulogize the hon. Premier for the part he took in negotiating the Washington Treaty. Still, he ; ardoned the hon. gentleman for the digression, be- cause, living in Prince Edward Island, he was not aware of the actual facts respecting that treaty. (Laughter.) He had no doubt the hon, member for Queen’s was quite ig- norant of the all but universal condemna- tion with which that treaty met; of the ut- ter and entire neglect of Canadian interests in connection with that treaty; and that although an award had heen obtained by the efforts of the late Administration, it was not becanse of the wisdom of the treaty, but in spite of the op- posite circumstances. (Opposition cheers.) The Leader of the Opposition said he would be pleased if the Government succeeded in their endeavor to open up a lucrative trade with France, Spain and their Colonies. He congratulated the mover of the address on the announcement that he intended place country before party. That was a complete right-about-face on the party of the Hon. gentleman, and it was satisfactory to tind that he was a convert to the doc- trine to which the Opposition had always adhered. He condemned the projected measure respecting the taking of the Census and spoke of the efforts of the late Govern- inent in ‘the direction of immigration. The @

question of a Government Life Insurane: would receive his attention when it came up; and the new Government had noi yet succeeded in driving away hard times. Be- sides they had produced, in the Governor- General’s speech, an exceedingly small bill of fare. SiR JOHN MDONALDS REPLY.
Sir JOHN McDONALD was» received with applause. He said: I cannot in any way object to the nianner in which the hon. leader of the Opposition has criticized the speech, and I hope he will allow ine to con- gratulate him on iis position in that respect. (Laughter.) Indeed, Mr. Speaker, I am very much relieved by the tone of his_re- marks, forI have heard it said that the hon. gentleman announced that it was his duty for the next five years to make hon. gentlemen on this side of the House uncom- fortable. (Laughter) I ean assure him that his speech |. .s not at all made us ua- comfortable on this occasion. I can agree with him in the just compliment he paid the mover and seconder of the resolution to- day. Whether those gentlemen belong to one side of the Heuse or the other, it is of great importance to the country, and to this Hfouse, to know that our representative men are men of as much ability as the country can supply. (Hear, hear.) And I venture agree with the hon. gentleman that ‘manner in which

‘part of the Dominion by tha much onaligned treaty. The hon. gentleman said ‘with respect to the treaty that the hor. mover was ignorant of the universal cone 'demnation which the Washington Treaty | had received from the country. Well, Mr. ‘Speaker, all T can say is that the treaty with iall its faults was submitted in this very ‘chamber to the representatives of the people of Canada in 1872 and that it re- ‘ceived the support of the representatives of ithe people by a very large majority.
A Vorce—A majority of sixty-six.
Sm Joun McDonatp—Yes, by a majority of sixty-six, and the hon. gentleman will be glad to be reminded that among those who supported the ireaty were some of the most prominent members of the Cabinet of which he was the head. (Hear, hear.) 1 was not at all prepared, Mr. Speaker, for the compliment which was paid to me by my hon. friend as being in some respect connected with the conclusion of that treaty. But l remember perfectly well that
when th eiality of the treaty, the fish-
' « a »
’ ery question, was before the House, and when the question about the Dominion re-
ceiving pecuniary compensation for the fisl- ery privilege given to Americans was under consideration, the hon. . gentleman said in this House that he viewed with loathing--— actual loathing— the idea of accepting money for our rights with respect to the fisheries. Notwithstanding the hon. gentle- man’s loathing he very properly, when he changed his place from being a member of the Opposition to being the head of the Government took all possible ste
bring that loathed article linto a sneeessful completion, and he did sneceed, and the award was made un- der his auspices, and he deserves credit for it. The hon. gentleman was exactly in the position of Vespasian, who levied a base, obscene tax, to which his son Titus object-
to
ed. ‘‘Oh,” said Vespasian, ‘‘ that’s noth- ing; the tax money does not smell.” There’s nothing wrong about that.” (Lauehter.) And so with the hon. gentle- man, though loathing to ‘take the
money, he used every effort in order to collect it; and it has come, Mr. Speaker, at a very fortunate period—a peried, when, thanks to the financial skill of hon. gentle- men opposite, the meney was very much needed. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the order about the cattle, I quite agree with the hon. gentleman that it oper- ates in some respects disadvantageously. It certainly interferes with the transit trade, but we had either promptly to take’ the step we cid—for we were fully informed of the state of affairs in England—or sub- mit to be, in technical language, secluded, as were the United States, in which case catile coming from Canada would be slangh- tered before being allowed to enter England. I agree with the hon. gentleman that the prohibition of the importation of American cattle should exist for as short a period as possible. I fancy the panic will soon pass away in England, and I know that the American Government, with its usual en- ergy, is endeavoring to prevent the spread of the pleuro-pneumenia, and to prove that’ it is limited to a small district of the United States. Itis taking most active steps ‘for the purpose of stamping out the disease, and is putting that portion of the country” where the disease exists under quarantine, so that ere long our direct trade in live cattle between the United States and Eng- land will soon be revived. So soon as that is done we will only be too happy, as every one knows, to repeal the ordér in Couneil, and to restore that trade which is of 86 much importance to the country. With respect to the negotiations with Spain and France, | have no doubt that the hon. gentleman and his Government considered’ the matter very fully during the pe- riod that they were charged with the re- sponsibility of considering such subjec We, on assuming the reins of power, course, took up that subject. It is of the greatest importance to this country to find enlarged, new and increased avenues for trade, and I am glad to inform you, sir, that in this respect we have not been alto- gether unsuccessinl. Iam glad to inform you, in a general way, that the Government of France have. received ovr overtures in a most gracious and kindly spirit ;. that they are inclined to reciprocate im every pos- sible way, and at all events so far as the Government is concerned, aye inclined to admit our ships and many other articles under the ‘‘most favored nation” clause. If that clause is continued in the commer- cial treaty between England and France, that will involve our ships being trans- ferred in France on paying a duty of two francs per ton instead of forty francs per ton. In other words, it will restore the shipbuilding trade to its wonted prosperity in a very great degree. The French Gov- }ernment have received those propositions _very favorably. Of course a correspond. ing concession on eur part must be given in the shape of a reduction in the duties on French wines. That matter is to be sub} mitted py the French Government to the Chamber of Deputies in a few days—I bev». lieve to-morrow. (Cheers.) Of course it is.
| impossible for us, or perhaps for the Gov§: :: ‘ernment of France, to say what the change ‘will amount to, but as far as the French Government are eoncerned, they have met ‘ns more than half way.. (Loud cheers.) | With regard to Spain, that country hes
