a

calledior. In re ‘dies and gentlemen, in the few vords which | addressed to you at the open- ing of this meeting I said I was eure that if ou heard the Hlon. Charles Tupper you would be thankful torme tor bringing him J] think you, must be grateful.

iear, liear.) You have hear his speech, ind the tsets he has detailed—and every word he has used js a fact. (Applause. ) And having stated this to you, | think you miy hold me excused from keeping you here longer. (Cries of “go on.”) No, I am not going to inflict another speech on you to-night, as my hon. friend bas gone over the whole fieid of facts in his own peculiar manner—a manner in which no man can approach him, or equal him in the whole Dominion of Canada. {Heas, hear. ] Gentlemen, 1 want you to know, as most ot you do know, that the facts referred to by my hon. friend are not made behind the hacks of the administration; they are not for the first time thrown before a friendly audience, such as the majority of the audi- ence present. 1 have heard my hon. friend —leading the Opposition in effeet—state the same facts, use the same arguments, ind go int» the same discussions, and the Government were obliged to admit the truth of the facts, and the whole country have acknowledged the force of the argus ments. What can | say more than my hon. friend has said to you? He has shown you tuat, if you look at the legislation of the Government, they have introduced nothing new. If you take the Administration, while they professed that they would be the most economical Government in the world, they have proved themselves to be the most extravagant that Canada, at all events, has ever seen. Looking at their financial policy, we find that while they boast of the great financial ski!! of the neavensborn Finance Minister—Mr. Cart- wright—he has been selling our debentures 1t a rate at which the small colony of South Australia even would not sell theirs. If you look at the expense of Government you will find that in every department it has increased—and this, from the econo- mical Government which was going to do iwoiy with the evils that bad fallen on the country after the twenty long years of the ex'ravagance and corruption of John Ay [Cheers.] Well, gentlemen, why talk of corruption? We were in for twenty years..

and was the charge ever brought against’

me of putting a single dollar into my pocket? {Cries of **No, no.”| Was there apy charge brought against any one man, » member of any Government of which I was a member, of having enriched himself it the country’s expense?’ [‘‘ No, no.’’] Was there ever a charge again:t us that we took office simply for the purpose , ol getting ourselves into comfortable posi- tions? Look at myself. I might, as my hon. triend has said, have looked out for a snug, comfortable bed to fall on. I might have made myself a Judge, or. a Chief Justice.

any years ago my old friend. Dr. Barker, nappened fo meet me in the stréet one tay, and said, «Why domt»you go on the Bench?’’ My reply was, ‘ Barker, J make Judges.’’. Mr. Chairman, and gentiemen, t is a high and honorable ambition to de- ire to be in the Government of your ‘ountry. The great Dr. Arnold says it is ‘s most honorable ambition for any civilized

min to be in the Goverment ofa free ountry. Ihave always recognized that it \as 80, and those who have served with ve have done so too. They did not

vant to go into a Government just to get themselves called the Ilon. So-and-So, to ake a year’s salary, and then to go out ot t, letting the world jog on as best it could. (have told these who have come in with me that they must not desire to escape re- sponsibiity, and that if they thought. it would suit their pecuniary interests they id teter not take office. (Cheers.

From 1854 to i873, with two interruptions, twenty-four hours, when George Brown got in, and one of twenty months, when Sandfield Macdonald was in power — | was a Minister, and my colleagues stood by m-. Sometimes they disappeared from iil bealts, sometimes because they could not secure their elections, and sometimes because old age had come upon them, but | don't now remember a single one of my colleagues who sought a refuge for bimseii in a public office after having been honour- ed with a seat in the Cabinct. (Hear, hear.) What do we see of the present Administraton? Gentlemen, you have, perhaps seep the Thimblerig at a country fair, [Laughter.] Well, you put a min- ister under, a thimble, and you put another thimble down. Now, under which thimble is the Minister? [Laughter,] This one is called, for instance, Mr. Dorion, Minister ot Justice, He is Mimister of Justice and has to look after the legal atfairs ot the Goy- ernment. Here he is. He’s under that thimbie l'll bet any money. Ob, but un. der Mr. Biake’s new Pool Selling §:ill you can't bet. [Laughter.] But we wii sup~ pose this to be a country fair in England. Well, you lift the thimble to see if Mr. Dorion is there, The pea is gone. [Loud laughter, ] You have lost your money and where is the pea? Gentlemen, he is com- fortably seated as Chief Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench of the Province ot Quebec. Well, now, we’ll bave another game. [Renewed lauzhter.] Canada cans not do without a Minister of Justice and if Mr, Dorion has gone, we must have ans Oobher, Mr, Fournier comes. We hay

where is he gone? You lift the thimble and you find he too has disappeared. He lisa judge ad you havé again lost your {money Coen there isthe brother of the jlate Sendfield Macdpaald, Mr. D. A, Mae- | donald, whose solé’ ambition for the last itwenty yenrs has been tos bein the Minis- firy; he has ybecome Lieut.-Governor. of Ontario. Then we find Mr. Ross, the Min- ister of Militia.—the Minister of War, —

against foreign and domestic foes, frou the Fenians down to the Colorado bug. We must defend ourselve: now. fle was a

martial looking man, of graat warlike ex: perience, and we were satisied that we were safe under him. (Laughter.) But. lo! the country was too pacitic for him; he was spoiling for the want.of a fight and there was no chance for ene; be therefore thought it was not worth his while remain- ing Ministeref Militia, so he took the snug berth of Collector of Gustoms it Halifax. (Laughter.) Then there was Mr. Laird, a gentleman of cix feet four,—tie highest anthorityin Parliament, [Renewed jaugh- ter.] Mr. Laird came up to Ottawa from Prince Edward Island in order to arrange for annexation—because we like annex ation to us—[hear, bear,]—he came up for that purpose, and as a member of the Prince Edward Island Government complet ed the negotiations for the unien of that Island with Canada. Hla undertook to be elected to the Dominion Parliament, and be undertook to support the Mini-try of which I was the head. fle was electad. and he brought his friends up to Ottawa and he asked me to introjuce tim and them to Parliament, and I oftered him my arm, With my usual politeness, and said, ‘Mr. Speaker, this is Mr. Laird.” It is understood that the person who introduces @ new member is supposed to vouch for his litics. I vouched for bis politics; but, my surprise, although I had introduced im to Mr, Speaker, and got him a com- ortabie seat’ in the House—aithough he and his followers came to our little caucus es —we suddenly found that he wasa dis- solving view. (Laughter.) We could not nderstand that at the time, but we found i out «the» other day when an honest, straightforward member {rom Prince Ed- ward Island got up in hs place and admit ted that they had been bought, body and bones—that they had made a bargain with Mr. MacKenzie, and that thay deserted u- hecause Mr. Lurd was promised a seat in the Cabinet and was made Minister of the interior; that is to say, he was to manage all the Indians, [Laughter.] Why, the present Government, when in’ Opposition, said they were going to put down bribery and corruption at elections they were not going to allow a sixpence to be given to an elector—but they ‘aii to themselves ‘What is the use of going to the expense of buying the voters when we e:n buy the members already made?’ (Laughter.] so they bought Mr. Laird and his follow ers, the whole box and dee of them. And they bought Mr. Anglin, the Speaker, and some thirty others; and’ so “they go on jentlemen, your virtue as electors is al sife for the future. We know you won't e corrupted, but as they ars going on |] ion’t know but that if you elect me again hey won't want to corrupt me. fl.oud Laughter,) Gentlemen, there is not more sh#meless system of bribery than that which has been carried on by the present Government — whether it be buying men up by giving them-contracts, as in British Co. umbia, or )uying them up by office, as in Prince Edward. In every Province you will find the most unblushing system of corruption directed against the representa tives ofthe peop’e. It is bat enough t> buy a yoter, but when the Government set to work deliberately to corrupt the whole representative body, to seduce the repre sentatives of the people from their duty by offering them pecuniary inducements, there is a blow struck at the very basis of repretentative institutions—and that blow has been struck by the present Adminis tration. Gentiemen, after the speech ol my Hon, friend | am p >t going to keep you here; but lam going to say a word to you with respect tothe policy of the Opposi ion, and with reference to whit they will lo, when, on an app2il to the people, they resume power. Whether [ shall have any~ thing to say in the formation of a new Gov. ernment, nO One can say. 1 am an old min, @nd l have long been anxious to be free from the’ labors, annoyances and dif. ficulties of public life. My friends and colleagues have steadily resisted my desire to retire, and in the same spirit 1n which I have remained in public life, 1 telt you that until my friends say that they think | have served long enough ~so long as they think that I can be of any use to them—it will be but a just return for what they have done for me not to desert them. | Loud cheers.] 1 have long been anxious to re- tire from the position | have held, and lam sure you will say, from the acquaintance you have formed tosnight with my friend, Hon. Charles Tupper, that when I do re- tire, he is a man who wil! well fill my place. —tiear,.hear.—Still, although it is sug. gested that. politicians are sometimes jea- lous of one another's places, I can tell you this, that the man who has urged me to ree tain my position, who said thatif | gave it up he would give up too, is the Hon. Dr. Tupper.— Applause.—In public life, al. though there are many annoyances there are some compensating pleasures, and it has been my happy lot to have a body of men serying with mia-my colleagues— every one Of whom | could look upon asa brother. . We were a band of brothers, we

stood together, we fell together, and we will rise together.—Loud cheers,-- Whe.

| ther 1 be a rember of any Conservative Government or not, I know that the new men will be actuated with the same spirit that hes actuated us in the pa t, that they wil carry out Conservative principles in their very best sense, and not in a party sense, Lod trying to keep out as many men as possible and not keeping everything to thetnselyes, No, the Conservative Party, whick is shortly going to be triumphant, is nol cry Couseryative Party but. Liberal -ouservative Party, Party, if. it is merely & potitical organization for the sake of office «nd patronage, has been detined:to be ‘ the midcess of many for the gain of a few.” Bata junction of men whe Abe the same opinions with regard to governing’ the country, who think alike on public mat. ters, forming a party ia the large and pro~ per sense is neceswary for the proper ads Ministration of affairs. In that sense am | « party man, and in that sense only is the Liberal-Conservative Party going to act in the future as in the past. The difference _ between the present Government and the party sup:orting it, and the Liberal-Cons servative Party is this; as [ have stated on former Occasions our motto has always been “ By a party, with a party, but fer the country.” While the Grit motto—as my hon. friend has proved to you to-night —is ‘ By a party, with a party, and fora party.” No such restricted feeling will govern ma, uo such principle will govern the Liberal. Conservative Party. We meet every man actuated by the same principle. We have no Jewish exclusiveness. We do not dis. tinguish between the hereditary Conserva- tive and the new member of the party, We say, HO matter what your antecedents are, Whetber you are an old Tory,a Baldwin Reformer, or what you have been in the past, if you honestly and conscientiously agree with us and our policy for the coun. try in the future, we stretch out to you the right haad of fellowship and greet you asa Liberal-Conservative, or a Conservative Liberal. From the greetings and assur. ances in the country [I have received, not only from my old familiar friends, but from men whowill not be bound to the car wheei of any one party or the Other; men who have said that they were Canadians before they were party men, and who wilil act with those who will do most good for Canada. I must say that the next general ‘ection cannot coms toa soon for us—the result of the whole course and policy of the Government -—-the result of the Ballot Bill, of which they have boasted so much, and which is going to sweep them off the board—will be that they will not have a Corporal’s guard left them. [ believe, sir that we shall have a gub tantial majority in Ontario, which is the stronghold of the present (roveroment.—Cheers, I know that in the Province of Quebec, of the sixty five members, we shall get fifty-five, —Applause, We shall have all Mani too: and British Columbia.—Renewed cheering. We are proniised a large ind :ubstantial majority from both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and ts for Prince Edward Island I believe that outof the six members we have at least fivg. [Cheers.] Mr. Laird, who came to us as their leader, alter sitting a couple of sessions in the House thought best to take the Governorship of the-Far West. Well, | suppose he wears a cocked hat now, and epaulets on his shoulders. He smokes the calumet of peace, and distributes pers ter medals. But be went there because he knew he could not come back to Parlia-’ ment at the next election. There was not the slighest chance for him. Why, what _ did he do? You know tlat at our «lc tions for the House of Commons the re n=. bers are elected on the voters’ lists prex pared according to the law established in each Province, so that the Dominion Par- liament has nothing to say as to who shall. or who shall not, vote for a member of Parliiment. This law did not suit Mr. Laird, as he had offended the Roman (a- tholics, who had previously supported him, by a bigoted attack upon them. He, therefore, tried to smuggle in a clause practically disfranchising them, by raising. the qualification. We could not resist it in the Commons, because they had then a ma jority of a hundred—which Dr, Tupper says’ has since been reduced to fifty, but forty- five is the right number now.

A Voiwe—That’s too much. . Sir Joun Macponatp—Yes, but it won’t be so long [Appiause.] We could not resist it. But in the Upper House they saw the little trick, and defeated it. And so Mr, Laird found that he eould not get in again to Parliament, and dri ted off to the North-West. But enough ot Mr. Laird,’ Chere is now a test question before the country. The Conservative policy was al- ways a national policy, not 10 regard what our neighbors do or think, but to look io ourselves, a3 they look to themselves. The policy of the present Government is a slavish fear o* any legislation in our own interests, lest it should offend the Ameri. cans. There is no doubt that it has been the whole policy of the present Govern. ment to. please the United States. Mri Mackenzie went home to England—it was the first time‘he had ever been there in his official capacity—and committed himself at Dundee anJ elsewhere un eservedly to ex. treme Free Trade doctrines. Since he has returned to this country he has continued a Free Trader, and has imbued his follow: ers with the same feeling, We have en deavored ever since in Pa liament to get

justice to Canada, but in vain, The s>ssion cefore last L introduced a very mcderate | resolution at oyce to foster the agricultural, ‘mining, and minufacturing interests of the ,country. That. was rejected, and was in« _ Continued on fourth page. uv
