ICUI \J|-Ill llklklll .I.|Jl\.?L' I will briey sketch my parliamentary course,` the support which,I `have felt . bound to -give the Government of Sir John A. McDonald since_ you . last hon- ored me with your condence and what has been accomplished in that period. These are matters it iswell we should talk to one another about. It is proper that I` should hear your views and most neces- - sary that you should hear frmn me what It havo done, zmdtlxat I should be able to justify the course Ihavo taken in support- _ rlaiui for the`administration of Sir John ~ iug tlioprcsciit ad:ninistr:1t.i:-IL I (lo not i\Iel).n..l:l, nor do I claim for iny-at-lf, i 1h:i:`in il11V`.`ih`|r\'1h'LIi\,(`(1(.IUzI~II(.1 all I ll.tVC; done in our 1`especti\'e public capacities, is free frm1Af'.iult and free from lJia.ll.|0_. All 1 can hope to tell you and all I can claim is. that we have endeavored to dis- cllax{,re-mil` re.~:pective duties to the best of I our ability, and with an honest desire ' to promote the welfare and. p'rospe.rity of Hill`Cfllllllldll.Clllllllfy. (Applause). I therefore desire to review the past, but of courseit must be very briefly. To attempt to cover the ground with any ve1'y.great minuteness of detail would be impossible with the time at our disposal _ this evening. The most appropriate stzirtiiig place it appears to me is to coni- mcnce with the last election, and to pass' briey in review a few of the chief mea- sures which have since become the law of the land, and the chief administrative -`act, which have since been accomplished by the gory first and foremost and most import- ance is the successful completion of the Canadian` Pacic Railway. This has-been. a question which has troubled the repre- A sentatives of the people for a number of years past ; one which has `taxed the , in- genuity of the Government; onewhich has wrecked I think, two administrations --it certainly was the cause of the down-, fall of Sir John .McDonald si administra- tion in 1873,iand it `had a very great deal to do in the destruction of-`tho adminis- tration whichifollowed, namely, .M[-_ MG.

I.wasone`o,f_. those who-..felt that responsibility, not merely on my own ac- count, notmerely that I would have a diiculty in explainingto my constituents the|propriety and the iustice of m vote on that proposition, when the wi em `and I the justice of that vote might very fairly and properly be called in question. e other hand to" take much of the roadhad beenibuilt, somuch of the money had been spent, so `much of the line was also to be awarded to them, had also been handed "over, and it ap- peared that that enormous undertaking- because considering the resources of: this young Dominion, no greater undertaking was ever entered upon by any nationality, was on the eve `of failure. The `question was, Was it better that this great work should fail, or was --it the part of wise statesmanship, that additional aid `should be given to those who had then, engaged in the construction of the work 2` Sir, as you `all know I took the responsibility of` supporting the government proposition and that proposition was_ that this aid should be given by a loan of this large sum. `The proposition of the Syndicate, you may remember was that they would build the road with 100 millions of dol- lars added to the aid they were to get from the government, or rather with the proceeds that they should realize from 100 million dollars of stock of the Company. ' They had already converted and sold, or disposed of in the neighborhood of 65 millions of stock when the market refused to take any more. The other 35 millions upon which they expected to realize in the neighbovhood, as they thought, of about 70 cents on the dollar, and which according to their calculation, would en- able them to build the road and full their engagement with the Canadian peo- ple could not be .sold ; no` purchasers were to be found, the market was glutted and the stock on the market instead of raising in value was every day falling lower and lower, until stock. that had been put on the market at somewhere about 55 cents on the dollarfell to about 40 or 42 cents in value. What was the action the government took? What was the proposition that was offered for our acceptance`! , The company offered a. mortgage on all their, property, on their lands, theirstock, their plant. everything they hadrif the government would step in and give `them the sum of money which they had expected to realize trom the sale of the 35 millions of stock still undisposed of, and in return that 35 millions of stock was to be -handed over to the govern- ment, andwas handed over to the gov- ernment so as to prevent it being issued, and any difculty arising in that way. Now we were told by the opposition that we were giving away this sum of nearly 30 millions of dollars ; that therewas no hope of getting it back ; that `above the 25 millions we had _originally promised to give, over and above the portions of the railway completed" by the government, over and above the, 25` million acres of land we were also to give, we were `to 1 add to these enormous subsidies 30 mil- lions of do_llars which we could never ex- , peet to receive back. That was the policy 1 of the two parties. On the one hand, the I oppositioii without any responsibility .sail if you give that money it will be l lost ; and on the other -the government I said, we have to see that this undertak- in; does not fail by coming to the assist- aneo of the synrliezite, or else we must lmild the road ourselves. As you know` l the money was voted and only one year had rolled round when the railway Uo. , was bark again to the doors of parliament | wantingmore aid. 1 need not tell you `that to the supporters of the this was no pleasant demand. Only one short year after we had handed over those, 30 millions of dollars, which it was then anticipated would enable them to build and complete the undertaking, and their plans appeared so Vfarto have failed, their calculations appeared so far to have been ' astray, that they were back again requir- ! ing relief. ' pu Well, sir, that was done. After a de- hate in the House of Commons in _which the leader of the opposition, Mr. Blake with all his well known and untiring industry delivered a six hours speech in opposition to the ._ proposal. A bill was { carried through parliament by which the iarrangements I have indicated to you, I hope with sufcient plainness, was con- summated, and railway bonds were issued ' to the extent of 35 millions, charging the` '"`i3}ZZica11y therefore. you will see the e`ect was, that the railway was to be at liberty to borrow from the public 15 mil- lion dollars more, and that that 15 mil-i lions was torank with the .Government s 20 million dollars, and to that extent would reduce the value of the. security` which the government held. The Presi- dent of the road pointed out that although the-road hadrbeen complete, or was in course of completion, and that in the most perfect way, there were certain works required to make the road an un- doubtedsuccess, and that there was -a willingness on the part of those who held the 65 millions of stock to put it behind the 35 millions, proposed to be raised in n this way, because they had sufficient faith in the undertaking to `be satised that the result would justify, -notonlylthe ac- tion of the Government, but on their own part the placing this additional - charge ahead of the protless stock". - ' . - `ITTII l Well, gentlemen, the Government hesi- 1 `rated, and no one could blame them for doing that. . Weeks rolled around into months, and everyone knew that ..the C.P.R,, was on the eve of failing, which event would perhapsvhave brought about the greatest. nancial crisis this country has ever, seen, when the government de- cided to come to their relief. They did not propose to give them any more money, but they proposedto take the mortgage which oovered the Company's property and divide it into two parts. One por- tion of the mortgage was to be charged on the railway property, the other - por- tion to be charged on the lands and the Company as a measure of relief was to be at liberty to issue bonds holding rank with that wh:ch-they proposed giving the government, to the extent "of another 15 millions. -' ' - .-iit'ic{z}1iihaiia<,itailing railwhy as! to the present time show, have been earn- ing over and above the `working expenses -suicient net earnings to pay theinterest on all the xed charges ; upon the Govern- ment debt of-`20 millions, upon the Gov- ernment debt of 10 millions- `charged on the land, upon the 15 millions sold in the London market, and on the other charges which railway men will understand by the term of fixed charges. If then the railway Company has been enabled to earn some 3 millions over and above run- ning expenses in its first year of operation I thlnk we may say the result has justi- tied the Government policy in giving the nishing aid to the C. P.R. ( Cheers.) . I hope, sir, before being called upon to solicit the surages of the men of _ N orth Simcoe again, I shall be able totell you . the published returns of the railway up I that the 20 millions for which we hold the l_ railway bonds willgo back in the public! treasury and reduce by so much the gross f amount ol the public debt which it has 3 helped so largelv to swell ; for the remain- ing 10 millions, I think I am safe in saying we have thevmost undoubted security on the 20 million acres of land in the North- West, in addition to a charge on the rail- way itself. (Applause 3- I think there- tore I can congratulate you. I can con- gratulate every man who takes an inter- est in the prosperity of Canada that we have to-day a railway from ocean to ocean, `that the great scheme (`of accomplishing the actual union of the Pacic colony with the colonies on the Atlantic Coast has been accomplished. (Loud cheers); that _it has been carried out in the manner in which it has, reects the greatest credit on the men who undertook to build it, and on the Government who instructed them how to build it. (Cheers). When I have stated that to you, I have stated the chief work which the administration has accomplished. The gures are so large that one would hardly succeed in grasping them, bu_t when you think of the enormous expenditure we have made to open up and acquire the country, when you think. that Canada with its less than 5,000,000 of people has undertaken to col- onize and settle the North and West part of this great continent, when you think that thathas been done by the sacrice of the men of this country for no other object ex- cept the grand one of establishing an empire here under the glorious ag we are all so proud of. (L )ud cheers). When you re- member that we have done that at very great. loss in the deterioration in the value of our property here by, as it were, flooding the market with the fertile lands ' of the great North-West, the country I more than its statesmen has reason to feel proud that-it has had sullicient patriot-; ism, suliicient desire for the perpetimtion ` of the race of which you are e.\ :uuple.s to ` bring this grand work to cowipletiou.

Now we know that-' this last Session of . Parliament was prolonged for a period of nearly if not quite three months by the openly boasted factions opposition of the gentlemen who opposed the administration. I think I am entitled to say, when these men come back and ask for the condence of the peo- ple of this country they will` be required to account for the waste of the people s money caused by their policy of attempt- l ing by mere brute force to prevent effect being given to the will of the majority.

N o'v if this country is ever to be a nation, if we are to become a united people, a people who recognize that they are members .of the same nation, if they are to _believe that their brethren dwell not merely in one province but in the entire Dominion. (Cheers), if in. pointpof fact, we are ever to rival the great cmntry to the-south. of us, tis only by bearing in mind that we are not provincials, merely, but that we are men of the Dominion of Janada`. (Vollies of cheers) Tis only by bearing the Dominion is necessary to the welfare of the whole, that we are concerned to a very large extent in, the prosperity of every province of the Dominion as of our own, that while the provinces will do their best under the law which exists, and "with reference to the power conferred on them by the charter under which we all exist, The British North American Act, that the people of Canada are not of one pro- vince hu-t of the whole of Canada. "We are therefore interested in the class of men they send to parliament from Prince Edward. Island, Manitoba, British Colum- bia and Quebec, and they are interested in the class of men we send from Ontario, and what can be more necessary if that be so, than that the parliament of Canada ~ should say Wll0 are the men that are to be the electors to send representatives, not merely for this county or that or for this province or that, but who are to make laws for the peace, orders and `good gov~ crnment of the whole country (Cheers).

So in the ei;_;l1tceI1tl1,_\,'e:-.1` of Con- feleratio'n, in my hnnlble judgment --al- though an earlier occasion n1i have been tal time had arrived when it ~ was due to the people of Cztlllltld. to pass a uniform flanchisc act. Some people op~ posed it altogether, others said the pro- Vinces ought to make the franchise, but on what principle I would like any person to explain, for as well may it be said that the County Councils should fix the fran- p chisc for the Legislative Assembly of Onta- * rio. There would be just as much reason j for it. (Cheers). Not many went that 1 length, but they objected to the appoint- } ment of agentleman called the revising 3 oflicer (laughter), and you read so much about him that you are doubtless sick of them. N ow, gentlemen, if there was to be a franchise act there must be the machinery 3 by which it could be operated, and j the machinery the government` proposed 1 was copied from the English system . It. l has been in force there for_ very many years and has worked to the satisfaction of all parties. Some people said the govern-_ merit were taking power to appoint bar- risters of five` vears standing,` who would be chosen not fortheir tness for the` posi- tion, or honesty of purpose, but that they - would put John A's. men on the franchise list and leave Blake s men of. ' But what is the fact -? The result has been that ; wherever possible or practicable the county. ` judges have been`app_ointed as revising of- cers. They have been so appointed in; Simcoe,._ J edge, Boys for this. and the south V riding, Judge Ardagh for the east l riding, `and I think the cry has been_:ef- factually answered by the appointments lithe government have made. These gen-T tlemen; hold their positions in such a way that they could no -more abuse their oice } than, violate _ their oath in theirij udicial 1 capacity, and. it w`o,u_l_d be under. pain and perilfof the loss of oice Should they prove ; unfaithful or vrecjreant to their trust.

Among other things what did they do? ' In Nova Sootia shortly before the last general 2 election they altered the franchise. not for I themselves but as there was the standing law of the j Dominion,` that whatever franchise was in force in the provinces ' should also be the- franchise of the Do- } minion parliament, on the eve of the last 9 general election, the government of Nova ` Scotia brought down a bill into the House l of Assembly there to `alter the franchise ' for the very purpose of injuring the Do- -minion government and of depriving men who up to that time had the right to vote and whom they suspected would vote for the Dominion government to prevent them having the opportunity of casting their ballots. Nor was this all. In the several provinces the electoral, franchise differed widely. In Prince Edward Island the franchise was almost universal suffrage, and here you know a property qualica- tion is required to entitle a man to vote. N ow if the character of the representatives depends on the class of persons who send them to parliament it is certainly .as plain as it is possible for any proposition to be, g that the class of people who elect their re- E presentativ -s should be the same in Nova l Hcutia, in Q;iel>ec,'in Ontario, in British E U--lmubia, and all tlirough the Dominion. i (ll Hltl cheers) \\'.. t...-... . ....ol.....,.n n lV(\V\I\II `It was that crescendo outburst of Miss _ He Watched his Opportunity; ` < ` I ve a. dreadful headache, Bromley.
