Of vhf the nonunion of Canada will to Morrow Complete Iho first decade of its existence As the greatest and most important Anglo Saxon dependency of Britain and to May be pardoned Abr the Opportunity to gratify a sentiment of patriotic Pride by reviewing the history of Tho land live in and glancing at the political and com Mercial Progress Wheeli has been accomplish of since the Dominion became an accomplished fuel. Canada was first discovered in i by be i asian Cabot but the first made by was in at 1 Orl Koyal. Acadia now Annapolis. In in nos a permanent settlement was made by Champlain upon the site of quo Bee. Canada then being called new l Rance jul the Mode of Semi religious Between 17b Acadia several limes by the British and again restored to France but in tiie last named finally became a Liritis Possession together with Newfoundland the first legislature of Nova Scotia met in in Tho following year the illustrious Wolfe captured Quebec and Tho country waa then for a Jiin Ter of a Century governed by military Rule. In 1771 a legislative Council consist ing of Twenty three members was appointed to Tho cover dior. After the revolt of the american colonies now forming the tinted states an army of rebels invaded Tho country but received a Check at Quebec where Montgomery in in i7si the present limits of new Urmi Viek divided from those of Nova erected into a separate i olmec by a special constitutional Bhartur t a Ion of Cable but. The delegates were unanimously of opinion that a Union on a larger basis might to effected. On Tho proposition of Tho Canadian delegates a further conference was agreed on to consider Tho possibility of accomplishing a Federal Union it Mot at Quebec on Tho appointed Day and after a session of eighteen Days the Schomo of Jon federation was placed before Tho Public after a time it duly accepted Sii cos Sivov by Tho Legislatures of Nova Scotia now Brunswick and Canada bal not by Newfoundland ind Prince Edward Island. Dele Gates Woro next sent to Tho Union act was submitted to Tho Imperial Parlia ment Pas Sod that body on of March the of july. Tie act. Old is67, and on the 2 2nd o May her majesty s proclamation was issued that the Dominion f Canada should come into existence on l the terms of s divided into tie two provinces of Ontario and Quebec for the purposes of local legislation. In is7d the government of the Dominion was extended Over the North West territories out of which Ili i i ovine of Manitoba was erected in 1871, Over i Columbia and in 1s7 Over i once Wodward Island. Newfoundland still chooses to remain out in the cold for the the tendency of events is decidedly in favor of her shortly coining into the confederacy for the vexed question of Trio treaty rights of the French a respect of the fisheries and several Oiler lessons Point to the consummation of this policy at no Distant Date. Having recited the history of confederation no some length it now devolves upon us to consider what has the country gamed by this amalgamation of interests und sympathies during the ten pc ars. So far notwithstanding some Hiilei pm o of opinion state of t1i1c people Are prone to Over Rato Tho injury caused by any special disturbance of Tho usual order of nature especially if Tho sur face a elected to out of sight of those refer ring to it. This a Iho Case in Tho matter of Tho of eol of Tho Lato Rains upon the Tho growing crops. Tho weather for us to the usefulness of tit it ution upon Tho leu Lac institution Senate the on legislative and of the Dominion arc founded have certainly their pin pose admirably. It Snow impossible that us time on circumstances May Ren Der it expedient to Institute some Modifica Tion in present t oui but at rate there no pressing , Resi Illing Horn tin Canadian Constitution Flint de mands present agitation for its a ii Iov us or mitigation. Ishio a or indie per i Vily self governing not Iii on the lace of month past has been exceptionally wet and Tho i Are consequently in almost impassible condition and in certain localities considerable water is lying upon the crops. Hut careful Init airy leads to Tho coir delusion that thus far it is Only in a very few places where the crops have really suf fired from Tho superabundance of rain. Doubtless a few settlements will lose largely and a hold Here and there elsewhere will to injured but if the weather clears up now As it bids fair to this year s crop May be reasonably expected to be a Good one. All advices Are to Tho etl oct that a great portion of Minnesota and Dakota have had oven a share of rain and the Central and Southern part of the state is being entirely Deva sled by Grasshoppers. In Mani Toba there is not a Grasshopper and not withstanding the wot weather the principal evil attendant thereupon being an inconvenience in getting about this j Rov Inco May he regarded As the most Lav need spot in the settled Ortli it it.

Three yearn later Tranquility was restored Tho f an Adas being United in by Ati Al act under one administration responsible government being definitely established in is ii. There were then a legislative Council to which the elective principle was applied a legislative Assembly composed of Ajo members being from each Section of the province a Cabinet responsible to Tho legislature and a Cio Vurnor Fien Oral appointed by Tho Queen. The lint milled parliament met at Kingston in june i-41, but in 1s11 the Lover Mont removed to Montreal. In is however tie Parlia ment buildings there wore destroyed by a mob and Tho seat of government accordingly removed to Toronto. Then was made Tho arrangement under which Tho ses Sions of parliament were to to held for four alternately in Toronto and Quebec. This system being found very inconvenient parliament resolved on a permanent site but being unable to agree As to its location the selection was left to Tho Queen and her majesty in 1s5s fixed upon Ottawa formerly known As i town. About this time party government became Well nigh impossible. In the successive elections which had been held during the preceding years Tho hostile majority from either province in parliament had increased rather than diminished in Iii a Tho feeling of came to a crisis but the out come of this situation was the dawning of an altogether brighter Era.

Tho country Luib during tie first ten of confederation experienced six oars of government under the conservatives and Lour under Trio reformers. The former had the advantage of holding Oll dec Eon Sineni Onjo Jod general Prosperity while Tho hitter have had to govern during a period of protracted depression. In Mani Toba they have had to extricate lilo lands of the province from tie tangle into which they had Boon brought by a reckless and wholesale setting apart of reserves a nuisance has proved such a orious discouragement to the Settlor. So far As Pacific railway construction is con. Corned Manitoba surely Little to com Plain of. Tho whole expenditure upon the undertaking at present being made upon that portion which will Givs Ogress to Immi. Grants and afr Ord an outlet for the products of Tho province while British Columbia after All Tho other that s no raised is doomed to a protract of suspension of expenditure in construction pending Tho final determination of the Impo Ilant questions of terminus and route on the Pacific. In con Fer the existing difficulties the Reform Lead delusion to need but remark that if Canada ers made overtures to sir John Macdonald suggesting Tho adoption of a federative sys tem. These overtures were cordially to chive cd and a coalition government was formed pledged to Tho introduction of such a scheme. By a fortunate coincidence within a month after Tho formation of this ministry a conference was being arranged at Charlotto Tovin to discuss the expediency of a Union of the provinces of Nova Scotia n new Brunswick and Prince Edward Island under a single government and legislature. The Canadian government asked permission to Send delegates. Was granted and they duly Mot the maritime Dele Gates. The conference had met to discuss a legislative question with which the Canadian delegates had no authority to Deal. The proposal to unite Tho maritime provinces was looked upon As Imp act is just now suffering from depression like Tho rest of America it is not a misfortune resulting from her political institutions but due to purely financial and commercial causes chiefly of exterior origin. As an. Off shoot of a free nation the Canadian nation of free work out their own destiny. They ire Well contented with their present status As scions of the great British family they live to cherish the connection with the Mother country and we Trust that Many years May pass he fore if Ever any proposed change of Tho present mutually satisfactory relations be comes a live question unless indeed some promising scheme May to suggested by which Tho confederation of All the colonies with Tho United kingdom can be accomplished to meet the views of the wide spread dependencies interested.
