me sel a DOMINION EXEIBINION, 1884, THE ISLAND’S RICHT TO Ii : Hall. Discussed in Market RINGING SPEECHES DELIVERED And Strong Resolutions Unanimously, i. ‘ - Passed. > luge meeting held in evening to Hall last ) Market consicel and means of holding a Dominion Exhibi- tion in Charlottetown, in the year 1854, | was laree and influential. Great enthusiasm | prevailed, I the proposal to hold the | Dominion Exhibition here seemed to meet tl ‘ views ‘ f I There was nothing in it and the best of order prevailed throughout Henry Longworth. Esq., High St eriff of Queen's County, occupied thejchair, and Archibald McNeill, Esq., was appointed Secretary. Ine CHAIRMAN, in opening the said it was to the great interest . | t j : +? , f POUbICAL IN LES ASPeEct, ; meeting, of Char Ge Pe 8 ee Om ene, ne ane the erpedcie ney, ways jand E DA Jvper Hensrey, in support of the reso- lution, said that as it was a matter for the veneral good o the country, and not a litical’ mette:, he therefore could take part in the Work. He could not see that, if an exhibition was a good thing for Halifax and a good thing for St. John, that it would not be a good thing for Onarlotte- town. It would no doubt be a good thing to have an exhibition, but in having one would we not exert ourselves too much. Assuming that we get the Dominion grant and that2we make out a good case, the diffi- culties are not great, and we have the foun- dation for a good claim for the exhibition. Now, if we get it, His Honor wanted to know (1) could we manage it, (2) is their steamboat and hotel accommodation for those who would come, and (3) have we public sympathy to back it up? He felt warmly on the matter, and would therefore like to know if we had those three essen- tial points. How. D. Lairp said there was another point—-we require exhibition buildings. We ‘know that last year it cost St. John—in addition to those already built—$20,000 for buildings. Therefore the least we would want in Charlottetown for buildings would be $25,000. He further wanted to know if the Local Government would be pre- pared to erect those buildinys? Hon. D. Fereuson, Provincial Secretary Treasurer, thought Mr. Laird had lottetown, and the Province, that. a Domin-| magnified the point raised. We have to on Exhibition shovld be held here in|erect our, buildings the same as they did 1834. Dominion Exhibitions had been|in the other Provinces. In these Provinces held in all the other Provinces, (in some|they obtained grants from the Federal twice), and Prinee Edward Island was the} Government the Local Governments and only old Prevince of the Dominion that | the City Corporations, and with those grants had not | favored with one. Now, as/and the gate money they paid for the Deen we competed Dominien Exhibitions taken part, it was therefore right for us to demand that tl should be held here. @ coming one will never get it again, and we therefore never have suitable buildings for holding exhibitions. Farming on P. E Island was only ia its infancy. We have a great deal te learn about it, and one of the best ways to educate ourselves is by having a friendly interchange of ideas and an | exhibition of our products. sheep than P. E. Island. our stock were large and increasing,and our | present stock is good. Viewing these facis he thought it was time anda necessity that | a Dominion Exhibition should be held here, and he hoped the meeting would be unanimous in its resolutions to have it held in 1884. Sexaton Hayruorne was of the opinion that we could accomplish the object for which we met this evening. Doubt had been cast upon it, but he had no doubt re- garding our success, and the good effects such an exhibition would. have on the Province. He referred to the Australian Colonies, and showed the great effects of exhibitions there, and how, by their mag- nificent expositions of machinery and agri- culture, they had attracted the attention of the whole werld. Calcutta observing their success, followed im their steps, and is about to holding a grand exposition im that place. He also showed the great im- provement made in the Madras Presidency through exhibitions. Farm machinery, he said, was now sold in Canada for more money than it was worth, and by a Dominion Exhibition we could bring the farmer and manufacturer face to face, to show up the faults of their machines in price, quality, ete. It had been said that the Dominion Government weuld not assist us inthe Exhibition. Certainly they would not if we do not ask. But if we ask for it properly through our representatives there is no doubt we will succeed. That we could compete more than successfully on our own yrourds with the other provinces, he had no doubt, and he thought the full extent of our agricultural wealth would not be known abroad until a Dominion Exhibi- tion was held in our own Province. He therefore moved the following resolution :— Whereas, It has been the practice to hold am annual exhibition of the agricultural and other products of the national industry, in one of the Provinces of the Dominion, the expense of which has been defrayed in part by an ap- propriation of public money voted by Parlia- ment for that purpose; and Whereas, Each of the older Provinces of the Dominion, except Prince Edward Island, has enjoyed the advantages of holding such exhi- bitions within its boundaries, and some of the Provinces more than once; and Whereas, The industry of this Province has been worthily represented by the live stock, cereals and other tproducts sent by her, at much Sexpense and inconvenience to the Dominion Exhibitions, held at Montreal in the year 1880, at Halifax in the year 1881, and at St. John in the year 1883; Therefore Resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, the Provinee of Prince Edward Island is now justly entitled to demand that a Dominion Exhibition be held at Charlotte- town in the autumn of 1884, aided by an appropriation of public money. Patrick Buake, Ese., M. P. P., had much pleasure in seconditig .the motion. He was fully in accord with Senator Hay- thorne’s remarks, and believed it was a matter of great importance that a Dominion Exhibition should be held in this Province in 1884. It was a well known fact that we contributed largely tc the success of the Dominion Exhibitions at Halifax and S:. John. This was a proof of our right to an exhibition here, and why we wil! not get the grant from the Dowinion Government, as @ province and a contributor to the Dominion Exchequer he could not plainly see. He did pot helieve in the objections raised regarding hotel accom- tmedation. If we did not hold a Dominion Exhibition until. we erected first. class hotels, we would be a long time without it. This hotel, as well as the other diffictiltics raised. could be easily surmounted, and he thought with a grant from the Federal Government, a grant from the Lucal Government, another from ‘the city, we would he in a first class ~posi- tien to bold a Dominion _ Exhibition. Che benefits of such an exhibition would be very great. Since we competed success- fully abroad the price of our stock has gone up Cc nsiderably, and if an exhibition was held here it would stimulate our farmers to | Success in agriculture and stock raising.

If it costs as much for buildings as Mr. Laird estimates, he would say ‘“‘give it up at once, we cannot afford the amount.” Mr. Ferguson then referred to the first Domi- nion Exhibition held in Canada at Ottawa. A prize list was for it adopted to suit the whole Deminion, but notwithstanding this our Ontario. From that time to the present | the exhibitions passed around to the differ- ent provinces, and was held im Torento, Montreal, Kingston, St. John and Halifax. This being the case, we, as a Province of the Dominion, are entitled toit. By getting the grant and holding the exhibition here we would receive many great advantages. One would be; Farmers from the leading agricultural districts of Ontario and Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, would be likely to send the best stock here for ec mpetition, and our farmers would be enabled to select the best pure- bred stock among them, and keep it here amengst us. The difficulty of accommoda- tion, ete., would, he thought, be small. The only practical question was the finan- cial one, and that being the case, we must *‘eut our garment by our cloth.” He did not know what action the Government would take in the matter. We are here for moving governments. If the Govern- ment see good hearty sympathy behind our action there is no doubt they will give us their sympathy. Cuaries Parmer, Esq., Q. C., remarked that if the Local Government was asked to pledge themselves to a grant, that would “squelch” the whele business. If such were asked he would not like to be in the Government. Mr. Palmer showed from figures that it was sheer nonsense to talk about $25,000 for buildings. He believed, from reading the statements of accounts of the St. John Exhibition, that in Char- lottetown we could manage the business much better than they did in St. John, and that we could “cut our garment by our cloth.” The resolution was then put to the meet- ing and carried unanimously. Pr. Jerkins then moved the following resolution: Resolved, That it is expedient that applica- tion be made without delay to the Ministers of Finance and Agriculture, setting forth the claims of this Province to enjoy in her turn the advantages of a Domivion Exhibition, and of a vote of money in aid thereof. He thought it clear that this Island had a claim to the Dominion Exhibitions. Other Provinces had them in rotation, and it was but right that our Province should have theirs in 1884. Not only this our people with undumitable pluck took part in the exhibitions held in most of the other Provinces, and carried off a goodly share of the spoils. These are strong arguments in favor of holding the next Dominion Exhibi tion in this Province. The advantages to be ceriv;d from holding exhibitions are very great. Sir Walter Scott said that he never met a man so humble or poor but he could extract some information from him. That being the case, what value can be placed on the interchange of ideas which take place at large or even small exhibitions? He did not think it would take a large amount of money for buildings, nor did he think there ' would be much difficulty in accommodating | visitors. With proper organization, we -econld accommodate 5,000, and the snm of $7,500 would bethe largest amount re iqnired for building purposes. We must ‘not think we can. attempt a grand exhibi- tion Jike St. John. It is a large city com- | pared to Charlottetown. Again, they were celebrating acentennial, and that was an additional assistance to them, financially and attractively. We can, he believed, have a grand agricultural, but not a me- chanical exhibition. With regard to prizes he thought they should be confined chiefly to stock, and that successful exhibits of manufactures should be awarded diplomas, as they were more beneficial to the manu- facture than a small money prize. Hon. Neitz McLxzob seconded the reso- lution. He believed that the sense of the meeting was in favor of holding a Domin- ion Exhibition in Charlottetown in 1884, if the Federal Government would grant the sum usnally given to the other Provinces; and as we have good grounds for demand- ing the grant; he felt confident the Govern- ment wovld give it. We, therefore, must take into considération the good: effect of Our Government have | aa . | The exports of | fact the competition was chiefly confined to | | tural interests and improve our stock.

In our own local exhibitions we can see inimense ad- vantages received from the advertisement they give our stock. Many have felt bene- fits by these; and greater benefits are, therefore expected from a large exhibition, having a Dominion aspect. Regarding thé cost of holding a Dominion Exhibition, Mr, McLeod believed it would be one-sixth less than St. John. The resolution was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Cc. C. Garviner, Es@., in moving the resolution which follows, related his ex- perience as Commissioner of the Exhibition held in Montreal, where the Island first made an exhibit of live stock and came off successful beyond expectation. Stimn- lated by their success at Montreal, the Advisory Board selected a superior exhibit for the Halifax exhibition and carried off a large number of prizes, and followed up their achievements with greater success at St. John last fall. He said all this goes to show that we need not be afraid to go from home with our stock or compete with others on our own grounds He also spoke of the great advantages the English people receiv- ed from exhibitions, and said the great success of England as the leading stock raising country of the world, was owing to competition at exhibitions, Resolved, That a committee to consist of the Honorable Donald Ferguson, Henry Beer, and Archibald McNeill, Esq’s., be appointed to draw up the application tothe Ministers referred to in the preceding resolution. Owen Connotiy, Esq., was in favor of the exhibition. He did not come to make a speech, but he had much pleasure in seconding the resolution. Being put it was carried unanimously. The following draft was then read by Hon. D. Ferguson, who moved its edoption : lo the Honorable Sir S, L. Triugy, K. ©. M. G.; C. B., Minister of Finance, &c., &c., and to the Honorable Joun Henry Pops, Minister of Agriculture, &c., &c, ‘Thememorial of certain inhabitants of Prince Edward Island assembled at a public meeting convened by the High Sheriff of Queen's County, and held in Charlottetown, on the 'Sth December, 1883, sheweth : 1. That your memorialists desire to submit the followieg considerations in favor of hold- ing a Dominion Exnbition of Agriculture and other industrial prodacts within the limits of their Province in the autumn of the ensuing year, and of asking Parliament to grant a sum of public money to defray in part the expense thereof. 2. That no Dominion Exhibition has yet been held in the Island Province; but she has been a successful exhibitor of live stock, cereals, and other prodacts of the industry of her people at the Dominion Exhibitions held in the Provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia and. New Brunswick — thus contributing materially to the snc- cessful results of those exhibitions. Her own successes, however, gratifying as they were, were attained at no trifling public and private expense and at much inconvenience and afford no adequate idea of the extent, variety and value of her resources, which would be fully displayed if a Dominion Ex- hibition were held on her soil. 3. That the climate of the Island Province differs materially from tbat of most rarte of Quebec and of Ontario; seed time and harvest being from three to five weeks later on the Island; thus a large portion of her cereals all her fruit and root crops are stil] immature at the period when Dominion Exhibitions are usually held in those Provinces, 4. That this Province consumes large quanti" ties of textile fabrics and other industrial products of the Dominion, and that the culti- vation of her soil, the mowing of her hay and harvest, is to a large and annually increasing extent accomplished by the implements manufactured in the other Provinces, and that to bring the producers face to face with their customers, the consumers in Prince Island at a Dominion Exhibition, to be held in Charlottetown, in the autumn of 1854, would conduce to their mutual advantage. 5 That eachof the older Provinces of the Dominion except Prince Edward Island, has enjoyed the aavantages of such an exhibition being held within its boundaries, some of them more than once; it is, therefore, but just to Priace Eward Island that the Dominion Exhibition of 1884 should be held at Char- lottetown. All of which is respectfully submitted. Hunry Beer. Esa., M. P. P., seconded the motion. He thought the arguments contained in the draft would not only meet the approval of the meeting but of the people of ihis Province in general. He re- ferred tothe benefits which the exhibition would be to 6ur farmers and our mechan- ics, and said if it is held here we will show the Dominion that we are able not only able to compete with the other Provinces but surpass them as we did before. He approved of keeping politics aside until the exhibition is over, and advised them to then renew the struggle. Hon. Davin Larrp said when Senator Haythorne concluded his speech he felt considerably elevated. He thought the Local Government, City and people were going to put their shoulders to the wheel, and that we would havea grand exhibi- tion. Now, in St. John the exhibition buildings cost about $50,000 altogether, and Dr, Jenkins, in his speech, said they would not think of going higher than $7,500— just about as much as it cost to build the Stock Farm stables. If we cannot do better than this, then, he said, for our own credit, we had better leave it alone. He objected to the prizes being confined to live stock, a few cereals, a large turnip, ora squash or two. He also raised objection to the accommodation afforded to visitors, and said that if sx thousand came toacity like Charlottetown, with a population of twelye thousand, he did not see what they were going to do with the women and children, unless they sent them out to camp in the country He was not, he said, against an exhibition, but if it dwindles down to a small matter, it would be better not to have it at all. SenaToR CaRVELL remarked he was sorry the gentleman who had just sat.down had not the good form of mind of his prede- cessor on the platform, and had left politics out altogether. He did not speak of polli- ties, it is true,—but actions speak louder than words—and all was small when Sena- tor Haythorne sat down. The Senator spoke at length df the capabilities of the Province, and the advantage of an Agricul- tural College would be to it. He was in accord with the object of the meeting, and would give the movement his hearty sup- port in Parliament. A. B. Warevurros, Esq, moved the following resolution : Resolved, That the Local Goverhment be requested. to transmit a copy of the said Meworial to the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Agricalturg, together with 9 protkdiiugs OF thty meting. ativentays to afl whl ary engage dn oprix repors Of the by Mr. Laird was too high and that stated | by Dr. Jenkins much too low, He spoke of the accommodation required by visitors, and said that if one of the results achieved would be the erection of a first class hotel in the city, one great end would be gained. R. R. Frrzcerarp, Esq, Stipendiary Magistrate, seconded the resolution. He looked upon the Exhibition asa right to the Province. We are, he said, an agri- cul.ural people, and we want the Exhibi- tion to teach our people more than we want it for the benefit of Canada. This is a selfish aim, to all appearance; but no one will say that they cannot come here to learn something from the farmers of P. E. Island. He believed that, when the people of the Island took hold of the matter, all arrange- ments would be made satisfactorily and the Exhibition would prove a success, W. E. Dawson was in entire sympathy with the movement. He believed it to be within the power of the city to hold a first class exhibition such as we speak of. With the Dominion Government grant, and the grant from the Local Government, we can accomplish all that is desired. He moved the following resolution ; Resolved, That the Representatives of this Province ,in the Senate and Howe of Com- mons be requested to promote the views ex- pressed in the foregoing resolutiovs and memorial. T. A. McLean, Ese., in a few brief and witty remarks seconded the resolution. It was then put to the house and carried unanimously. ArcutpaLp McNett, in a lengthy and ringing speech, related his experience as Secretary of Exhibitions for thirteen years, and a witness of the Dominion Exhibitions held in the Maritime Provinces. He felt confident we could raise the funds and make the Exhibition a success. Cuakne; Patmer, Es@., moved the fol- lowing resolution :— Whereas, The holding of a general Domin- ion Exhibition in Charlottetown would greatly stimulate the agricultural and local industries of the Province, and the trade of the city ; Therefore Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, liberal grants in aid of the said Exhibition should be given by the Provincial Legislature, and the corporation of Char- lottetown. He saw by the newspapers that they were agitating to have the next Dominion Exhi- bition held in Winnipeg, Man. He showed by a comparison of the census of Manitoba and Prince Edward Island that our claims were far saperior to Manitoba's, without taking into consideration the difficulties of travelling to an exhibition at that place. Joun Newson, Esq., seconded the reso- lution, He asked the question: If we do not have an exhibition this year when are we going to have one? If we erect buildings this- year, we will have the Exhibition in our turn forever afterwards. He gave figures showing the great expenditure of money a Dominion Exhibition would cause in the city, and showed that it would be to the best ad- vantage of Charlottetown to hold it. It might be a difficulty, he said, but no great achievement can be overcome without a difficulty. The resolution was carried. Senator Howlan, F. de St. C. Brecken, Esq., M. P., and L. H. Davies, Esq., M. P., then addressed the meeting. They were in sympathy with the movement, and promised to give it the strongest support in Parliament, The chairman was then presented with a vote of thanks, and the meeting dispersed in the best of order.
