He introduced the Premier who after a few introductory remarks spoke of the Groat pleasure be Felt in meeting the electors of his county on Tho same plat form with other members of the county. To would pass Over Tho grievous dereliction of duty charged the pre Vious government a Gross perversion of duty of which they wore convicted. Tho Liberal party assumed office with affairs very much deranged and he pro posed to t Eicr very briefly to the affair that attracted attention at the time to assumed office. He first took up to Washington treaty and trouble in the North West. Where a War of races seemed imminent and at this time he Dee in of i t his duty to take such Sterns As leave Al act on to a free Pur Liam ont. The duly was to obtain the election of a. Ref Orr. Parliament. He had an opinion that it would be bet Ter to first of secure u election jaw but it had been decided to carry ont to e election under Tho old Law. To to the Steps taken to secure a now Law and called attention to the fact that the election s were ordered to to held of the same Day except in such places where their geographical position made this impossible. The rigidity of the now election Law was pointed on to and the fact adv ened to that Many men had been unseated without Auy serious violation of the Law. Tbs. However would make if. Impossible to practice in future elections. We have been told that the Law been detrimental to ourselves but even if to Are willing to Advt his it would not deter him from Avdoc torn is now at Issue in the Dominion of Canada and. Be would like to see such a system in operation in All the colonies. This however he believe Possi ble. The Colony of Canada is to do its own work but at the Ojamo time to to the Foremost Aily of in Braiu air. Mackenzie Pastou of to consider the questions of Protection and free Trade and. Took the ground that neither is to be considered in the abstract. Incident Al Protection the considered a stupid phrase at Best and to freely admitted thai if Tho circumstances of the country and of the manufacturers permitted to would inaugurate a system of which connection he gave some figures showing the relative position of manufacturers in Canad and in . The principal cause of complaint has been that Canada has been a h sacrifice Market but to have never admitted u. S. Goods at the prices they wore willing to Bell. There was imposed the current Oil swindle. He had stated in the House that his Only connection with this was to Send a Telegram to sir John Hose asking him to have nothing to do with it and be related an incident that happened in England wherein sir George Elliot had said to him that to that Telegram he had owed Tho saving of Sterling. He closed by banking the people of Lambton for the Confidence reposed in him and by assuring them that so Long As the affairs of Canada were confided to his hands he would act Asho deemed most suitable for the Public interests. Loud applause according to a letter written by a citizen of British Columbia to col g w Powell the commissioner of Indian affairs of the territory a copy of which letter has just been received by our government the aborigines of both Alaska and British Columbia Are threat ened with ruin. By Tho use of a now intoxicating drink. This liquor was first i made at a ranch called Hooch Noo in Price at which they were sold in to boil own country. A stagnation in Trade had Arisen from Over production. Protection would never prevent such Stag-1 admiralty Island and derived its Namo nation. Tho government had adopted 1 Hook Hoo irom that place. Its Man Tho policy they had advocated in Oppos-1 of Acturo is very simple. All the appear that tie Revenue of Tho country hiatus Juu of consists of two empty Oil should to derived from the duty on Irrl and a piece of kelp and these Arti ported goods and de no in the country difference Between on spirits m Anu Factor cles serve a8 boiler receiver and worm. V. In this there was materials Are molasses and sugar with potatoes and Sweet berries. When and Tho government of which he was the Leader. To exploded Tho fallacy of putting an import duty on wheat and she Only Grain on which an import duty to wild be placed was Corn. The argument however was Only got up to in Cuenco those who really form Tho pubic opinion of the to next or acceded to speak of the Pacific flail Vay and the policy of Tho government n relation thereto. At Tho last general election to held that it was n physical his opponents w potatoes and Sweet berries when a a these i curing such measures As would pre vent the Treney of electoral corruption we witnessed Vrin such pain in Iho electoral of 1872. Tho feeling icis had excited he Bioko of in the Umed states and said that believed int Canada had tie f Root and most democratic government in to world. From this Bep Asbed on to con Sider the Washington treaty in its de tails the re Tuff being to inf while Tho English comr mss Onori agreed Tore irn Burso americans Tor the ravages of the Alabama i he claims of Canada for dam Ages caused by Tho fenian wore Ditre gained. This gave us on Tion As a nation and Lud us liable to further impositions. In regard to the treaty he hold it almost e to Avoil blunders a tast Rous in the r con he passed on u spank Ofa diplomatic o Fider a under taking the Pacific and guaranteeing Obi d it in ten years where As considering the number of men now employed we could see Tho Absurdity of the undertaking or even of undertaking to build it in the time stated. This gave the present governor enc a serious task not Only m the failure to build the Road but in Tho necessity to make bet Ter terms. When Tho present govern ment took office it found a Lari re Section of the people of Manitoba opposed to any punishment being meted out to Kiel and his associates Aud when it became known that secret negotiations had Boon going of Between then surgont and the government the Only course to pursue was to a Ai wik pursue was matter As Best would Case to Deal with Tho Samo meet the and at i i same Deal out Justice to the lawbreakers Ioka f to a fair and Wise Crit those who object to the course Somp eurs 0.

Applause he could scarcely conceive How it could to possible to f v carry on Tho government try in any other Why. To carry out the mad of action of Tho late government and is ,9 his duty to see what modification of that scheme could be obtained without increasing the taxation of the people. For hat purpose Tho people of British Colum a Are entitled to All consideration 10 called attention to the fact that his Sui or or argument would not to effect d by the statements of Tho tory press who took the ground that while the government should not break the obligation of their Bredec Ossers they hould not spend too much Money. He difference of routes was shown heroin the past government had in Ert Akon to build 260_ Miles of needless Railroad Over a route on which the Ridging alone would Cost be negotiations up to this time were Dvor Ted to it being shown that lord Jet Narvon to whom the matter had Een referred said that the proposal of he present government was r Vasona in although for the Sake of peace he advised that two millions should be pent yearly instead of one and a half millions. At Tho present moment the position of Tho Pacific railway is Sim ply this to obtain an Entrance to the Northwest territory As soon As it can by obtained and before Tho end of next season to will have in operation at a cheaper rate than railroads wore Over built in Canada 150 Miles Between Lake Superior and Tho Lake of Tho Woods. Gross insinuations had been made in the Public press but it Only remained for these insinuations to be put into Plain terms to find their proper test in a court of Law. To believed that by the year if90 connection could to obtained Between the Waters of Tho East and West and a Good Deal of info Rev Tion had been obtained As to Tho Ter of Tho country. Not one Mio How Ever would to Pul under contract till it would be shown that the route selected wits Tho Best. Ninety six Milos have Boon running for time and it Hay Cost exactly forty six thousand dollars to earn eighteen to regretted exceedingly the tone adopted by borne of Tho people of British Columbia but trusted that when Tho Road is completed it will prove the great from Tho West to the . From the railway to passed on to consider the canal system showing that Tho Wei land canal is Tho Only one that has paid its own working expenses although it is proposed that As soon As the full works Are completed a Revenue will be produced paying some interest on the original investment. In Tho meantime it is affording work to a number of our people. Or Mackenzie then took up of t t l l1. _ i i or of this coun the the treaty which Hon George Brown had negotiated in connection with which he kid All manufacturers but one had said they could compote successfully with the United states if the markets of that country were thrown open to them. There have been two sessions of parliament Sinco his govern rent took office and to would venture to say in no two ormer sessions had business Boon to expeditiously disposed of. Fio summarized Home of Tho. Principal measures Portal act the insolvency Law and Tho supreme court act. Then to considered the measures taken for upholding the majesty of the Law in the North West and reverted to some of the provisions of the Bill look ing to that end and Tho Means Takon ibo punish Law Breakers there and to prevent the introduction of intoxicating liquors into Tho country. Col Mcleod had made some seizures which will have the effect of preventing any further Viola t ions Btl be Law. In that referred to a charge that had been made in that he had in Soho Way Tho Federal sys connived at what was called the Prince Tro in season. From such sub stances and such rude machinery a very Strong liquor is distilled. The liquor has All Tho dangerous and intoxicating properties of Tho vilest whiskey and if its use is extended in Tho North West its results will to deplorable. It will destroy the indians and ruin Tho Trade in furs. Its introduction among the indians of Alaska is wrongfully Attri buted to the prohibitive policy of the United states government in the newly acquired territory. It is admitted that the indians of Alaska would have Acque Oscedo in Tho Laws an regulations imposed upon them by our govern ment but Many of the Whites would have liquor and As its importation was prohibited they Sot about devising Means for making it and As or an ardent desire which is equally imperious is Tho Mother of invention they very soon hero then is the real cause of Tho evil. Prohibition was not sufficiently enforced. Tho Whites instead of aiding the govern ment took measures to subvert their policy. It will be difficult now to Stop the traffic. Although the British and american authorities May limit Tho Quantity of molasses or sugar which Tho indians May Purchase for distillation dealers at posts will dispose of All that May to needed in Exchange for furs. But Tho cause of the evil being known to remedy seems Clear. Severe punishment should to meted out to both Indiana and Whites found with liquor in m Rel t a i a ii it i i their Possession. It to Complete cure for the ruin now this will limit the some extent but a threat ened can Only to devised by those quite familiar with the habits of Tho indians in Alaska mud the peculiarities of Tho situation and communication which May to called into Aid in entirely sup pressing the and use of the now y.
