l money that is spent in keeping up this
trade and carrying out the terms of union,
is not entirely to the advantage of Prince
,Edward Island, but is an advantage to all
‘ the other provinces as well.
i Now, I have gone over the first three
I years of confederation, from 1873 to 1876,
; to show that no effort, practically, was
imade to carry out the terms of union. In
2 1876 the Northern Light w_-s purchased and
iput upon the route. But. she was not de-
isigued for that service, and consequently
, she became a complete failure. So great
i was the failure that she was unable toper-
! form the service at all for about seventy
; days each year during the whole time she
iwas on the service. In 1881, I think it was
she was icebound for so long a period that
1 the crew and passengers despaired of
reaching land. Among the passengers were
Q several women and children, and the pro-
, visions running short on board, they un-
, dert-ook to walk from the vessel, n distance
got several miles, to land. Night overtook
them, and they were subjected to so much
icold and exposure that one of the party
Q lost his health and shortly afterwards died.
 Another of the party was crippled for life.
§ Now, will t.he___,Hon. member for South Lan-
ark (Mr Hsggart) say that this was con-
, tinuous and efficient communication with
; the mainland? In 1834 a party of twenty-
'two men undertook to cross by the old
i method in an open boat, a. method that
f was in vogue fifty or sixty years before
,the Island joined the confederation.
' The movements of the Northern Light
i were so uncertain that they preferred to
~ cross that way to depending upon the
steamer. A snowstorm came on, night
overtook them on the ice, and they were
iout for two days and one night. Every
member of the party suffered from the
exposure, and several of them had to
undergo amputation of their limbs. Now
will the hon member for South Lanark
say that this was carrying out the terms
, of confederation? Was this placing us in
l communication with the Intercolonial
1 Railway and with the railway system of
the Dominion?
Hon. Mr. Haggart, the Minister of Mar-
ine and Fisheries said in this House that
, it did.
Mr. Hughes (King`s, P. E. I.) Well I
suppose the hon. member for South Lan-
ark is not responsible for what the Minis-
,ister of Marine and Fisheries may have;
i said. I suppose the hon. member for
South Lanark has a mind and intelligence
iiof' his own, and he knows, or ought to
_know, whether that was efficient com-
lmunication or not. Now. so inadequate
l, was that communication by the Nortm-rn ,
i Light that a. committee of parliament in ,
` 1833 made this report! Y
l The committee of parliament further re ,-
' commtnled that, inasmuch as the evi-
dence taken before them went to show f
` that the Northern Light was fast becom-
ing untitfor service, another suitable stea-
' mer should be provided to take her place.
` \Vell., another suitable steamer was not
,provided for five years after that. and yet
|` in face of this testimony it is said by hon-
f gentlemen that the terms‘of confederation
A were carried out. As the Minister of Mar~
ine and Fisheries stated this afternoon, so
‘ impressed was the government of that
time with the inadequacy of this boat, `
with her uuseaworthiuess, that an order
was issuedifrom the Department of Marine
and Fisheries limiting the number of pas-
i
V L_  _ -of A
_L , ‘ , ' _ , y view of all these difficulties I havenar-
I . 1 ` ` ii' - J' . - rated, that the communication then pro-
* 5 - i ~ I ~ i - ' I Lvided was conductive to trade and travel `
I between the province and the mainland
sengers that :she was allowed to take on
I any one trip. Now, Sir, do you think, in
lover fromthze Island to
or1B32, and no
has any idea of the hardships to which we
were exposed None but the strongest and
most robust men would undertake the
pas-age, none but people who were com
pelled by \ome grave reason would un
dertake it at all They had to be strapped
to the boat, so that if they fell overboard,
as wasa. frequent occurrence, they could
be draged up again by some of the other
passengers or crew . K
Now vvhil-~ provision was made for
carrying the mail in this an' iquatcd way,
no provision was made by the Govern
ment for bringing passengers across even
in open boats. The passengers had to
pay whutever fare was demanded, and to
work their own way. Then when they ‘
got to Cape '_"orn1-:utine they had to drive
fotty miles, over the winter roads. in
open Slcielis, to Aniltcrst before they
cou‘d untl.c connection with the Intercol- ,
im...l Railway. It was provided in the
terms of the union thatfrom the date of
union, nn nfflcient and continuous steam
comniuiilcntion, winter, and summer,
should bc preserved between the Island
and the Mainland. But, will any man
who will read the history of this question
say that the Dominion _ Government
maintained the terms of the bargain?
They did not even do as was recommend-
ed by this committee in 1883.
The committee recommended that P
when people were obliged to cross in an
open ho_.t, h~-ses should he built on each
side ofthe .~f»--.'t~i, so that when passen-
gers got to flu-ir destination they might
have some pl.-tc to which they could go
and warm themselves and change their
clothing; and that there should he on each
side some place where boats could he
hauled up and put under over, and be in
a fit condition to commence
the service the next day. Although that
recommendation was made in -1833 by a
parliaxnentary committ "e, it was not car-
ried our. There was nothing done in that
respect for three years afterwards. This
is what Sir Alexander`C impbell, speaking
in the Senate in 1884, said:
I am surprised to heat-Strom my Hon.
friend opposite that the boat-houses have
not been built. I called the attention of
the Minister of Marine (Mr. McLellan) to
the matter last session, and he told me
that the boat-houses would bc provided.
Ishall again call his. attention to that
question and to theivarious suggestions
that have been made.
That was in 1834. In 1386, the next
session the same gentleman said:
My hon. friend from Prince Edward
Island, who introduced this subject to
ground for complaint, I am sorry to think
perhaps against myself, alth ough really.
as he has almost admitterlt. I am not
responsible for the non-execution of the
measures which from time to ti'me,I have
been authorized by the Government to
promise in this House. I remember quite
distinctly the undertakingwhicl1~ l gave
that the boat-houses should be construct-
ed one on each side of the ferry. I made
that promise with the authority of the
then Minister of Marine and Fisheries,
and as is my constant practice, the very
day tlie promise was made, I wrote to- the
Minister of Marine and Fisheries-_,f>at;
pursuant to what he had told wou,§"’-keep
it in mind. I afterwards called attention
to it, and there were reasons
which wen more or less sonndt-
Icau hardly say sound-which made the
delay more or less excusable. It was
Forthree years after the promise had
been pointed out by the parliamentary :
committee, no boat-houses had been erect-
eral years before the Island came into con- _
if
tempt was mane to carry out the terms of' i
union in th-is respect and consequently a
of equity and justice, claim against the 
Dominion government for the non-fulfil- 
ment-of the term:-I of union. There is no-gl
question that the people of the Isl-and '-
suffa-reds very severely in consequence of 
this matter. As has been already shown in 
the debate, the people of Prince Edward i
Island were obliged to send their agri- ,
cultural products to the provincial and g
other markets during a short time in the '
faltli of the year when the markets were at '
their lowest.. They had no communica-
tion with the mainland during the winter..
The merchants were obliged to import
all the goods wanted forfive or six months,
ahead in the fall and to pay interest on ,
there large importations. If you want to
fully realize what- the Island did suffer on
account of the non-fulfilment of those i
terms you have only to turn up the records `
of traflic that have been made since the
two steamcrs were put on this mute. The
trade of the Island has been so great, that
as the Hon. Minister of Marine and Fish-
eries showed here to-night, it has gone on
developing and increasing every year since
an honest effort was made to cal'l'J’ 005 me
terms of the union. We have still further
proof that this effort has developed and
increasefl our trade. ~Last year the net
earn ings of the Prince; Edward Island -
Railway, in consequence of the facilities
that were given to trade with the other
Provinces of the Dominion of Canada dur-
ing the winter seiscn,were $7,000 and over
greater than in any other period of the'
his-tory of this railway, and this year, in
consequence ofithe two t-teamers being
put- on the route and greater facilities bc-
ing supplied, the _net earnings of the rail- -
*way willhe between $l5,».0`.l and $i’.J,(lI)3 p
greater than the year bet'-.vt-e. The net
earnings of the Prince Edivard island
Railwnyévill, if they go increasing astncy
have been increasing during these last two
years and as they are likely to
will return- to the P

Orders had been given, und that. ’

as their have increased since the facilities
for trade have been been improved, they
will in a very few years represent

o that in that respect alone the Domi-
nion of Canada will lose nothing by the
transaction. That shows clcnrly that

the country between different provinces
and between Canada and other
countries, it is pursuing a. good
policy, n paying policy, and a. policy
that will always give an adequate return
directly and indirectly to the people of
the country. If the earnings of the
Prince Edward Island` Railway were
$7,000greatcr last year than in any pre-
vious year, and if this year they will a
mount to $15,000 or $20,000 more than they
were last year, it will give Hon. gentle-
men an idea of the loss that the province
sustained during the sixteen or eighteen
years when these facilities, which were
stipulated for in the terms of union, were
withheld. I am sorry to think that there
Trnuld be any r-‘ec'ional difference in this
m..tter. I trust that the Hou. member for
Lanarkttfr. Hagztrt) does not voice the
opinion of'many Hon. members from Ou-
tario on the other side of the House. I
hipfe and ti-u~t tint this resolution will
pass the ll-,-use hya. very large majority.
I belit-ve that the Government of this
country is to be congratulated upon
having sctxleti this' question fairly and
eqllilably, an-i I it lievc that Parliament
will ratify tn t'. settlement., and that
Hon. members fr im Ontario. from thc
west aid from the Maritime provinces will
admit that it is a fair and reasonable ar-
rangement. Perhaps it may he thought
by some Hon. gentlemen that this is a new
question, that it has only then brought up
now or since the present government
camo into power, but such is not the case
at all. From the year 1881, right along to
the present time the government of Prince
Edward Island have memoralized and
petitioned, time after time and year after
ti
question. Wearying and despairing al-
most of getting any redress of their griev-~
ance, as it was pointed out this afternoon
they carried the matter to the foot of the
Throne and so impressed thc justice of
their claim upon the Colonial Secretary
Lord Granville, that although he stated
that the Imperial government has
had no authority to interfere in the
matter he suggested that the Dominion
government should undertake the buil-
ding of tunnel beneath the Straits of
Northumberland: at an expenditure of
$7,000,000 or $8,000,000 in order to over-
come the difficuilty of carrying out their
agreement in thm respect. The people
and the_Governrnents of Prince Edward
Island never allowed this matter t0 rest,
although the government that had been
in power from l878right along for many
years did nothing more than make a bare
acknowledgementof the memorials and
petitions that were sent to them. But the
people of Prince Edward Island hoped for
the time when a government would be in
pewerin Canada thahwould dothem justice
in this matter, when a Government would
bc in power to which they might appealed
with confidence. Well, they have appeal
and they have brought: this matter _before
the present Government. and I am proud
and glad to be able to say that the appeal
has not been in vain. - I believe that the
Government has considered the matter
fairly, reasonably and equitably. It may
be, as my Hon. friend (Mr. Lcfurgey)
stated, that the amount- is not suliiciently
large, but I believe that the Government
have taken a fair and reasonable view of
the mntteiand that they did what they
believed to be fair in- the interest not
only of Prince Edward Island, but in the
interest. of the people of Canada as a
whole. I believe that this Parliament
endorsed by the people of the Dominion
will ratify this agreement. I_ hope and
trust that when the vote is taken a. large
majority of the members of the .House
will Support the proposal; indeed I hope
that the House will be unaminous in its
