True copies of two of these documents are hereto annexed and marked with the letters A and 8 and the thire there was a Bill of Rizhts (Exhibit B.) the seventh clause of which was as folloxs—That the schools be sep- srate and that the public money for schco!s Le distributed among the ditferent denomin- ations in proportion tv their respective pe pulation-<, according so the system of the Province of Quebec.” . , 5—The said delegates had frequent and rotracted conferences with Sir Join Mac- aks and Sir George E. Cartier, who had been appointed a2 committee by the Canadian Government for the purpose of negotiating with us, which conferences ex tended to the second day of May. 6. During the said negotiations, the eaid committee submitted to delegates a draft ot a bill containing the terms upon which they were prepared to consummate the union. This bill contained 26 clauses and the 19.h thereof was an adaptation of section 93 of the British North America Act. 7. Upon the margin of the said draft bill I wrote my comments or remarks op- posite each of the sections. Opposit? the said clause i9 I wrote as follows: “This clause being the same asthe British North American Act, confers, so I interpret it, as fundamenta! principle, the privilege of separate schools to the fullest extent, and in that is in conformity with article 7 of our instructions.” et oe a 9. After the conferences with the dele- gates were completed Sir Georg* E. Cartier ou the third day of May introduced into the House of Common? the bill which afterwards became the Manitoba Act. the 10. Shortly afterwards I returned to the Red River Settlement carrying wich mea copy of the said Act which on the twenty- fourth day of June | presented, with some verbal report of my mission, to the Legis- lative Assembly. After a short discussion the following resolutin was amid cheering unanimously passxd:—‘That the Legislative Assembly of t.is country do now,in tle name cf the people,accept the Manitoba Act and decide on entering the Dominion of Canada cn the terms proposed in the Confederation Act.” il. The copy of the bill of rights which I received as aforesaid prior to my depar- ture for Ottawa I retained in my own por- session until the trial of Lepine in 1874 for the murder of Thomas Scott. At that trial I was called as a witness and did as such produce to and leave in the custody of the court the said copy of the bil of righte, since shich time I have never seen it. have the Secondly, we evidence of Sir Johu Macdonald, Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Leonard Tilley Sir Donald Smith, Hon.Wm McDouga!! and ethers engaged in the ne- settlement that These have stated emphatically that it was | gotiation ef the terms and the Of the Manitoba difficulties of day understoo) and agreed that the schocls of | Mansitota were to be established on the | wame basie as the schools of Quehec and Ontario. Sir Leonard Tilley said recently in reply to the question—“ Yon feel quite Certain that the intention and agreement was that separate echools should be grant- ed to the minority if they desired them ?”: ‘Unquestionaly yldo The is no doubt about it. I pelieve that when the measure was before parliament & proposition was made to atrike the clanse out. It was then held by the gowerwment that the terms of the bill were an agreement between the Manitoba delegates and the government, which would not be binding on Manitoba unless ratified without change. The pro pred amendment did not receive strong support and the terns were adopted as THE DAILY EX lie to the Governor General in Council from any act or decision of the Legislature } of the Province, or any provincial author- ty, affecting any right or privilege of the Protestant or Roman Catholic minority of the Queen's subjects in relation to educa tion.” Fourthly, we have the fact that in that same vear (1870) the Legislature of Man:- toba proceeded to enact a separate school the agreement, fill force law in accordance with wh h school Jav remained in and effect for the period of twenty years.

Tue Guardian states that the “ public debt has greatly increased, and the revenue taxed out of the pockets of the people into the public treasury is mach greater than Prob- ably nine men out of tea will agree that it was fifteen or twenty years ago. oar public debt is larger than it ought to be, and that it costs too much to govern this eountry.” Now, the point to be considerd is, will the accession of the Opposition to office lessen the public debt or the amount to be taxed out of the pockets of the }e0- ple? Is there any likelibood that gentle- men who, as members of P:oviacial Gov- ernments, have doutded and trebled the provincial debts and added largely to the burdens of direct taxation, will, as mem- bers of the Dominion Government, reduce taxation 7 have in- eome- the debt of Canada and lessen Government If the Domin‘on creased the public debt, there is thing to show for it,—the Intercolonial Railway, the Canada Pacific Railway, the costly canals of the Great Lakes, includ- ing the Soo Canal recently opened, the lighthouses that bave been erected on our coasts and the publie buildings of brick stone in all our cities and larger But what is there to show for the largely increased provincial debts?

We hear it occasionaliy etated, even yet, that Free Trade would giye us better prices for our eggs, potatoes, horses,etc. It is to be remembered that our voting for free trade will not give us free trade with the United States, where the prospects are for increased protection, and have already free trade with Great Britain. The only vote that is now at all likely to im- that we prove our commercial position is a vote for Preferential Trade. The British author- ities seem to be waiting to see what the Colonies have to say about that; and Sir Charles Tupper by making Preferential Trade a plank in the Liberal Conservative platform has given all Canadian electors a chance te do so. —_ —— -——. + mem AN OMISSION POINTED OUT- Tne Guardian forgets to tell ita readers that the Dominion Government offered to withdraw the Remedial Bill and stop all proceedings if the Government of Mani- toba would but alter the laws of the Province in euch a way as to admit of achool schools in Manitoba similar to these of the Maritime Provinces,—and that the offer was rejected In ite discussion of “a vital matter” our independent contempor- ary oight not to omit the statement of vital fact ee vou THE ELECTORS, What has the Conservative party done for Canada? | J, It has made us a nation. 2.

The last laugh is a goed deal better than the first one, —St. Jobn Sun: In his Charlottetown adress Mr Davies denounced the Canad. adian iron bounties. A prospective col- league of Mr. Davies (Sir Oliver Mowat) does not share this feeling. He has added tothe Dominion Government bounty a provincial bounty to iron made in his own province from Canadian “ore. It would certainly be very wrong for Sir Oliver to spenn Ontario money to increase the pro- tection to an interest already too highly protected Werecommend a conference between Mr. Davies and Sir Oliver. —Moncton Times: For an old parlia- mentary hand sir Oliver Mowat made a curious blunder in his letter promising to take a cabinet offise in the event of Mr. Laurier’s success at the polls. This letter. he addressed to “Hon. Wilfred Laurier, M. P.,” forgetting for the moment that Mr. Laurier is not an M. P, at present, parlia- ment having ceased to exist. The error, says the Ottawa Citizen, is almost as bad as that of Mr. Dalton McCarthy, who told the public that four Premiers of Canada had resigned within five years, of whom three died in office. Montreal Gazette: “In a letter to Mr. Laurier Sir Oliver Mowatt, among other things, say#; ‘It is the general opinion of the party, to whose favor and confidence are owing my twenty-three years of the premiership of Ontario, that the crisis is #0 grave that every personal sacrifice has to be made, and every incidental! risk run.’ Aud therefore Sir Oliver decided that he would stand manfully at his present post in Toronto, with its $5,000 a year, till he saw if Mr. Laurier would be in a position to offer him another one with $7,000 a year at Ottawa. Sir Oliver has mistaken ceu- tion for courage again.” —The United States believed some of the ghost stories the Democrats were tel! ing about protection and elected Cleveland in 1892.
