Only a few weeks ago all the Empire rang with the Views that at last after a long weary period of negotiation, the several states of. South Africa had amicably settled their differences and had formally signed the Union agree-. meats. Just a few years since the Australian provinces did the same. thing and made out of their broken SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD. • He was .the man .who• realized the Value of .a Provincial Union and threw : himself into the work of bringing •it about. His was ` the task of taking• charge when ,the work was complete, _ and steering the. now ship of State. up,. , jarring communities one .great • commonwealth, And , Canada, the elder sister looked on with interest, res , for it was a moment of satisfaction to her in all the glory of her forty : odd years •of confedera- tion, to Watch the younger units of the British Empire solving their problems of nationhood along the• same • lines as she had followed. A Difficult Task. It is no easy task; this one of peace= fill federation and a couple of genera- tions ago there were very wise men who said it could not be done. Fed- eralism under the monarchy was im- possible, they declared, With widely separated interests the provinces would never hold together, their de- sires would conflict .and they would be, eternally falling out. Thus much in Canada, Over in the Mother Noun- try there, wee men who said that federation of provinces meant the end of the tie between Britain and her north American colonies. They would combine, gain strength enough to stand alone and • some day the Gov- ernor-General would be sent .packing. That was half a century ago, Only a decade ago, clever scientists said that men would never fly with a ma- •chhte heavier than air. To -clay anent are doing it. And•to-day, aged forty three 'years -mere infancy as nations count their years -Canada stands firm in every member, the lustiest child among the nations. The tie with her mother, that was adjudged so fragile is stronger than it ever was in' the day of isolated colonies, where expen- sive governors and their suites were sent --frequently to misgovern. Durham's Attempt. It was a big and intricate problem which faced any man of the first half of the century who should try to make a united rana'la. Lord Durham made the that effective .attempt at it. In those days there were two classes of society, the people and the officials; who were a little bit better than the people and had control of the governs meet° These men constituted the Family Compact of blessed memory to the school -boy. When the uprising in 1837 against the abuses of the system had been quelled, Lord Durham re- ported to Great Britain on the state of affairs in the colonies and .Among other things he recommended that the provinces be united. There was a shout of disapproval from the seig- pours of Quebec and the gantty of On- tario, but in 1841 they regretfully watched the union of Upper and Low - 4X C,„ dada. Even so little was st 'bi step. The Maritime Provinces stood aloof front the anion for various rea- sbns, some of which are quite obvious when one considers the state of the country at the time. The coast ooun- try•had little in°common with the in- land provinces. There were no rail- ways to link them up either cornmer- ciallyy or sentimentally, all Lower Canada with its French lay between the two English-speaking •sections, and, after all, the Bluenoses were a self-contained little nation all by themselves with their shipping and their timbering and their fanning and their culture brought up by boat from Boston. East Stood Aloof. ' With a bit more of imagination at their disposal they might have fore- seen that the centre of 'population was going to go far west, and that they would have to get an early start to be the gateway for the vast reaches of land that expanded to the Rockies. Bat they looked upon the prairies as a waste of snows, sparsely inhabited by strangers and too cold to ever amount to anything. A .pardonable ertor after all, and one that has been made many times since with less jus- tification. So they stood aloof and watched the result of the Anglo-French combina- tion. It did not thrive very, well. On- tario was growing rapidly and Que- bec was standing still. The repre- sentation in. the Union Legislature was unfair to the new -comers in On- tario, ntario, and, dreading that the Tipper Province should get any more voices in the assembly, the French members discouraged immigration, It was now that men began to rea- lize the necessity for a wider federa- tion, which would help to solve the eternal see -saw of the two races. And here, too, was developed the idea of the Provincial Legislature, which is after all the secret of the success of the whole federation system. .When the Union Parliam cit met the mem- bers carne forty-two versus forty-two, the representatives of each race bear- - ing ear-ing a sheaf of bills .for its own de- velopment and evelopment.and the result was a dead- lock. . How long this could last to- day is a problem,but in the days of the Union • it lasted for twenty-three years, from 1841 to 1864. The Work Begins.. In that, year was begun the serious Work in behalf of the assembling of the provinces, 'which resulted three years later in the achievement of 'a Dominion of Canada. The Maritime Provinces '-- Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island began to see the ad- vantage of -combining their force-- just the three of • them. So they ar- ranged for a convention at Charlotte- town. Amongst the men who gather- ed there 'were some whose names have become household words " throughout • the greater Dominion. From Nova Scotia came Charles Tupper, W. A. Henry, R. B. Dickey, Jonathan Mc. - 'Cully, and Adams G. Archibald. From New Brunswick were Samuel G. Til- ley,' J- M. Johnson, J- IL • Gray, E. B. Chandler, and W. H. 'Stevens." Col. Gray, •0 Palmer, W H. Pope, G Coles and A. McDonald • represented Prince Edward Island, About• this time things were becom- ing acute the Union Parliament and• George Brown, editor of The Globe, had a committee appointed under his chairmanship to consider a way out of . the difficulty. The result of the deliberations was a recommendation that a federal system with separate local houses " be founded or that a more comprehensive schme of union of all'_the.British North American pro- " vinces be, arranged, ,,,_,,,,•g•w Brown Intervenes. • By reason of his disagreement with the policies of both parties, Brown was a bit of a pariah at the time, ' EARL OF DURHAM. The first Confederatiorii'st. His re- port in 1838 foreshadowed the merg- ing of the Provinces and resulted in the first Union of 1841. and when at last the woest crisis was reached he came forwa d with the olive branch which he tondered to both leaders or to either. These' were the great Macdonalds,'akin by name but mortal enemies in politics, the first, Hon. Sandfeld Macdonald, Pre- mier, and the other John A. Maedort ald, leader of the Opposition, a man destined to become the Premier of the Dominion and foremost statesman of his time. John A. saw the trend of affairs, and he was quick to take the proffered twig of olive, At a histori- eat meeting in Quebec he and Brown W. H. Kerr & Son, Editors and Publishers met and settled their differences. They lounges coalition Government and for the rtrst time since 1841 ap- proximate peace reigned. Then came the Charlottetown con- vention. • This was the long sought opportunity. Permission was asked for an Upper and Lower Canadian delegation to attend the meeting, and when it was granted, eight members headed by Brown and Macdonald went down the St. Lawrence in the Govern- ment steamer Victoria. The old feel- ing still existed, however, and the eastern representatives declared that they were not authorized to discuss the larger union. The conference de- cided to wait till October when they could get new instructions from their respective Governments. But when adjournment was taken the Confedera- tion plan was as good as won. And HON. GEORGE BROWN. The Great Liberal Journalist and Statesman, who seized the critical moment that made for the success of Confederation and saw it to its comr,!ation. - just to show by what little things big issues ±bare directed, the thing that turned most of the eastern delegates in favor of a full union was the trou- ble they foresaw iris, deciding which of . the Maritime Provinces should have the capital. The "Thirty-three." In the month.of October, 1864, there met in theancient city. of Quebec thirty-three men who constituted the most important' conference in the his- tory of Canada. They were all 'veteran statesmen, twelve from Ontario . and Quebec, five from Nova 'Scotia, seven from m New. Brunswick, i swick,: seven from. Prince Edward. -Island-•and-two.-:from , Newfoundland. Sir E. P. Tache was elected president of the gathering. For eighteen long clays the debate was carried on behind closed doors, and what difficulties arose are known only to the ''delegates, but at last things were smoothed over, and when they adjourned oonfederation wasadvanced a stage. It was not yet settled down, east. •In Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick, Prince Edward Island and New. foundland. in the first named prove ince the objection was that they did not receive a sufficient proportion of the Dominion revenue to meet the expenses of government. They there- fore shelved . the whole matter. In New Brunswick feeling ran . highand an anti -unionist Government was returned. The Lieutenant•.Governor, however, took the matter in his own hands, and in a speech fa'sroring union he. rallied' around him all the sup- porters of •the project. The Ministry resigned,' a general election took place and a unionist mat vfetory.was secured. This sudden .change had its effect on the Nova Scotians and its Govern- ment again approached• the subject. . A Long Debate, When the upper provinces met in February, 1865, confederation was the. sole topic. Lord Monck advised the House to give the . matter its most SIR WILFRID LAURIER, Who succeeded Sir John in his title of "Grand old Man," and who has built himself a monument in the G.T.P. that will stand beside Sir John's beloved Canadian Pacific.
