took with that which prevailed today the facts were recent a to bo in the minds of all Applause Since June 189 when the incompetent Government who hod brought affairs to a stand still arid had driven thousands ayo a million of people from Canada were ousted smiled upon this country and even the sun today seemed to be endorsing the ac tion of three years ago Since the last general election the people had given of political sagacity and there was no doubt that tho first step which wan taken in to set Cana da forward on path of progress would Imj repeated be it sooner or later showing that appre ciated a good thing whether in Gov ernment or otherwise Applause A former speaker continued Mr alluded to the development of Canadian interests Ho alluded to the Premier I ask whether the Pre mier has not verified the expectations of the people upon one great question and one alone which threatened the destruction of Canada After our pre decessors for some six years had failed to solve the great Manitoba school question which then threatened almost tho destruction of Canada what did the Premier of then say Give mo six months in office and there will bo union among the people The Manitoba school question will then have been solved by policy of con ciliation rather than coercion and this country will have the chance to make use of its great natural opportunities My friend Mr alluded to the Conservative press today JUDICAL HATRED We find the Conservative press of today again endeavoring to divide the country by their shrieks their frantic mad shrieks about meth ods of carrying on war in Trans vaal The politicians who know as much of managing a campaign in South Africa as the children unborn would make political capital out of events oven if it involves again the awakenings of racial fires in Canada Sir that is not the aim of the present Administration and the Minis ter today will no doubt if he alludes to it at all fully justify in tho of all fairminded men the action which this Government is taking in standing by the empire in her endeav or to advance the cause of civilization in South Africa Cheers Mr then passed on to re view the condition of the postal service On my appointment as Postmaster- General three years ago he said I proceeded to study the whole subject of mail the work then being done by tho department and the work that might reasonably be expected of it and in this connection subject of a reduction in the rate of postage not only within the limits of broad Canada buc between Canada and the empire THE FORMER DEFICIT I confess that at first the prospect of such reduction was not promising inasmuch as there had in the eight preceding been a deficit between the revenue and expenditure of the department amounting in the total to and which for the number of banks has been increased from Cheere such reduction not withstanding large increases in the services we reduced the deficit from to in Thus the deficit which two years before amouuted to about a year and had caused Mr Foster to postpone the reduction of the letter rate to the dim- distant ha1 been so far wiped out as to enable the Government to see its way clear to bring about the reduction in our letter rates a boon to our people taken advantage of already as shown by an increase of about 10 per cent in the number of domestic letters an increase of probably 100 per cent in the number of letters to England and the other parts of- the enpire a pro portion to be still further increased in the immediate future when the penny rate will carry from lov ing friends and relatives in the remot est par of vast Canada to a thousand brave Canadian sons serving their Queen and country in far oft South Africa Cheers A Friends all good citizens must de plore war with its attendant passions sufferings and deeds of violence The Boer war has been forced upon Great Britain by a misguided people who have refused to administer laws amongst her Majestys subjects and have rebelled against her Majestys authority Believing as I do that civ ilization will Ik- best promoted by the establishment and maintenance of Brit ish laws and institutions from Cairo to the Cape I rejoice that Canada has been permitted by the Imperial Gov ernment to join with her sister colon ies in upholding the the em pire in the present struggle Our political opponents are endeav oring to make capital against us be cause of the terms upon which the Can adian forces are being furnished to with the possibility of differences in the rates of pay pensions and com passionate allowances Those who argue that should not have submitted to the Imperial condi tions set up their judgment against that of the home authorities and of course would not have sent Canadian troops at all that is the al ternative Well however our politi cal opponents would have acted we have not the home auth orities in this the hour of anxieties by refusing a contingent except upon our own terms but Save loyally promptly heartily and tjfe full rc- to their suggestions and thus given a proof gratifying we trust alike to the mother coun try of Canadas willingness to hoi- duty by Cheers Hon Wrti

points through- da and the rest of the empire appeared I out Canada increased facilities for have considered the question us not positing their savings and I am sure within the regions or things practical you will be gratified to know that it his clear that his Government if it owing to the increased prosperity of had continued in office would have the country and of the establishment allowed Canadas postal affairs to jog of these increased facilities there has along in its old rut jbcen an increase of over six and a half Hear hear and applause million of dollars in the deposits of the Now

postal note branch whereby greatly extended the usefulness of the i small sums from up to S5 might great branch of the public service to cheaply and safely transmitted which I am referring and I trust through the mails and though the with due regard to economy system had been practically in Speaking of economy we as a Gov- force for about twothirds of the fiscal ernment find it somewhat dilficult to year ending on the of June last satisfy our political opponents on the still within that short period pub- general of our expenditure In their opinion we spend too much or too little or in the wrong way al though the Opposition has never yet since we took showed their sin cerity in their own criticisms by divid ing the House on any item of expendi ture by calling for the yeas and nays yet they continue in a general way to criticize the amount of our expend- lie had availed themselves of it to the extent of having used of these notes As to the carriage of we are continually extending that branch of the service the growth since we took office being so great that the years mileage by stage and railway through Canada today exceeds the like mile age when we assumed office by the Chcers A TO SOUTH whilst in the same breath they amount of 1677790101163 demand new and vast expenditures on such schemes as the building and con struction of a Yukon railway coating millions a wildcat Chignecto ship railway and other undertakings and so while shrieking for economy they condemn the application of in the Department Cheers CRITICISM In these and various other ways the department has endeavored to extend its usefulness to the people and the postal revenue shows that they have been taken advantage of I do not j attribute the increase of our revenue or even to any very material OP ECONOMY I extent to these reforms but first and When because they were not re- chiefly to the increased prosperity of quired I relieved the taxpayers of a the country Doubtless they have large number of employees in the some bearing on the revenue but tho Department when in or- proportion is not material Suffice it dot to comply with the postofiite act to say that notwithstanding

South Africa should be paid by Canada should under a Canadian Colonel held together as one battalion and not available in such a manner as those Imperial offi cers who arc planning the campaign consider will serve the empir-2- as a loyal Government we have not felt justified in disregarding the wishes or views of the Imperial Government They have doubtless studied the subject anil with the as sistance of the greatest military minds in her Majestys service have we as sume some sound views as to the best methods of conducting the war Therefore theCanadian Government have felt it their duty to respect the conditions of the home authorities made applicable to the contingents from all the colonies without excep tion and so far as we know condi tions arrived at without previous con sultation with any colony SIR CHARLES AS A WARM Oil It is not for us to challenge the judgment of the home authorities- If they are of the opinion that discipline efficiency and success will be best at tained if all the forces whether Im perial or colonial are subject to the Queens regulations without distinc tion of any kind either in respect of pay pensions compassionate allow ances command or otherwise Canada has no middle course but must either send her contribution on the terms upon which Great Britain will receive them or not send them There is no middle course Sir Charles according to this mornings press pro tests against our action in having complied with the wishes of her Ma jestys military experts by allowing them to manage the campaign He if in military command would have ordered it otherwise or if in political control of Canadian forces would have kept them at home unless her Majesty would receive them on his terms The Canadian Government clothed with the responsibility of action deem it their duty to accept the advice of her Majestys War Office and Govern ment rather than that of Sir Charles It is not permitted to Canada or to any colony to send troops except in strict compliance with Imperial condi tions In the field all forces whether Imperial or colonial become for the time being Imperial troops all under the Queens regulations and pay the same source the Im perial chest for the home authorities do not propose to run the risk of any dissatisfaction or discord amongst the various forces by reason of the men Turned in a Blanket Pain Too
