As the law 'now stands the legislative power of the Territories is restricted. Separate Schools are absolutely imposed upon each and every locality. I think in the additional powers which must be granted to the North- west at an early day in the next Parlia- ment, its authority on Educational matters should be absolute and tunrestricted; leaving it to its Legislature to determine whether Separate or denominational schools are or are not required in the interest of the people for whom they have authority in I o!her local matters to make law. ` The disallowance of . the Manitoba School Act and of an Act of the Legislature of the Province, doing away with the French as an oicial language, is sought for by a large portion of the French Canadian peo- ple, and is made an issue on which several of the elections in the Province of Quebec may turn. My view is that this legislation if within the power of the Province to pass, and so far the Courts have decided in favor of the Provincial right. that ought not to be interfered with by the Dominion author- ities. It is important, however, that there should be some representatives in the new Parliament who, irrespective of party allegiance, will uphold the rights and privileges of the Province in this respect.

'_ No one_can,donbt that the establishment of a"French Canadian` nation on the banks of the St.` Lawrence would, if successfully accomplished, lead not to the consolidation but to the dismemberment of Canada. Itcannot be gainsaid that openly by many and secretly I am bound in my belief to say by the great majority of the French Canadians .tha.tthat is their aspira- tion. It is for that consummation the French Canadian politician assisted by the French Canadian Hierarchy has struggled, and without doubt successfully "contended in the Province of Quebec. I seek` in op- position to that policy to abolish the `use of the French as one of the official languages in Manitoba and the North \Vest. I do so because the use of his language is claimed by the French Canadian as a means, and un- questionably it is the most potent inuence perpetuating his distinctivenationality, and of separating him from, and `keeping him from assimilating with the other races of the Dominion, rendering the hope of an in dependent French nation a seemingly possible dream. Therefore the oicial re- cognitiongof the French as a language of Canada should not be found in.the constitu- tion of either Manitoba or any portion of the North West Territories _of the Domin- ion. As you know, I moved for the repeal of the dual language `clause in the. North West Act. So far I have not succeeded in my object, but if elected as your represent- ative, I shall renew the attempt on the first tting opportunity in the new parliament. And I ask you to support me if for no other cause than to emphasize your views on this ' important subject. mu, 1- n 4- .1 ll -. 1 n. u TORON'1'0, 21st February, 1891, D Alton McGarthy. 4_A:bv:`t_I: 1: my bamo: - Last Friday evening the society had an enjoytblef evening with Dickens.

It is, however, absurd for any person who is con_versant_with the gures respecting our trade returns to imagine that any great `or extraordinary improvement in ournationai well being can be -expected from a fuller trade intercourse, no matter how free, with a country, which, like the United `States, consists largely of `agricultural producers, iwhlhil. likewise up industry or can. But it is now plain that the chief pro- meters of this policy, both within and with- out the Dominion, have, and do intend that its adoption should bring about that event. I have no intention of charging that the great bulk of the Liberal party of this country are disloyal, or are desirous that Canada should merge the proud position which she now occupies by becoining part of the American union, but it is, neverthe less, clear to me, and I think cannot be doubted by any fair-minded man, that a treaty which would practically give to the Americans our exclusive trade and deny to theother portions of the Empire all com- mercial relationship, would not he submit- ted to bythe` people of Great Britain, who, in reason. could hardly be expected to bear the burdens which their connection with Canada entails, while deprived of that inter- course which the great trading state of the world values most highly of all.

That being the Vsubstantiul difference be- I tween the different policies of reciprocity which are offered for your approval by the Governmnet on the one hand and by_'the Op- position on ther other, I have no hesitation in seeking your suffrages to say that I do so on thepground that I am absolutely op- posed to any treaty of reciprocity, which should in terms or in eect involve discrim- - ination against Great Britain. . ' The question which, alone, in my judg- ment, justified the Government in advising the Governor-General to dissolve` Parlia- ment, is one of momentous consequences to the future well-being of the Dominion. It involves not merely the determination as to whether a treaty of reciprocity conned to natural products alone or of a wider scope and. embracing manufactured articles as well. should or should not be entered into with the United States of America, but whether such treaty of reciprocity should be concluded on the understanding upon the part of the Dominion. that Canada would discriminate against the rest of the world, including the mother country and her sister colonies in favor of the United States. GENTLEMEN :-lV-The dissolution of Parlia- ment has again reinvested in you the right to select your representative in the House of Commons of Canada, and I have again the honor of` being a candidate for your suifrages. I have been nominated as such at a conven- tion cf the delegates of theLiberal Conserva- tive party of the riding, and I accepted such nomination. at their hands on the dis- tinct understanding that I should be at liberty to follow in the future the course which I have adopted during the last two sessions of the Parliament just dissolved, irrespective of the. consequences which such action upon mypart might have upon the life or fortunes of the present adminis- tration. |uoImI mnme. or smcos.
