The disloyal characteristics of our

Fofu?i^g*words to the rebels with; an
^unblushing falsehood : “ From
/ many previous facts it is quite clear
' that had the Government taken or .
dinary, precautions and redressed
_ the grievances of the' half-breeds,
the rebellion in the Northwest would
never have taken place,'.’ . From
well known facts that statement is
a downriglit untruth- The public
records shqw. th,a,t every reasonable
.. precaution had been taken; that^ the"
° half-breeds had been given more
than they werq entitled to, see GoV,
Dewdney’s report; that they had
urireasoniihle concessions made to
■ them; that unreasonable claims were
ahont being inquired into by a com-
, .mission; that the mounted police

in such a manneLas not to excite.
the.apprehension ot the jealous half

whetherthp Governmentconsidered his

have received seed, implements, etc.
to enable them to support tlTem-*
selves, and in the meantime they
liive”.Been supplied "wiHFfoUd—suf-“
ficient at feast to keep - them from
. .starving. What more would, you
have the Government do, 0 ye. dis-
loyid’'press writers? ■ . ;
— When the Governrrient of-this
Dominion will so far abnegate its
functions as custodians of the public
d(5uiain and’of tlie public :fund8 of
the people as.to give them away to
half-breeds, or •. Indians, or whole-
» breed white rebels, it will be time,
for it to step down arid out. /Tf,
there is one thing more than.anol her
that the present Government ...des
serves credit'for it is its resistance to
attacks upon- the public property of*
the people -which have-been commit-
ted' to its charge. • ■
The giving away of the lands of
. the North west to those-who have
ijo equitable right, ’to it; would not'
have cost the; individual members of
the Government anything ;, they
could- have been liberal at the ex^
prose of the. people; they braved the
, -calumny of a rebel- sympathising
press to protect the.people’s proper-.
X,“But,” says the disloyal press,
“had the Government pursued a
R^Mfcruore -liberal policy-tn.v’&ards-.r tlmfi.

can only get it on tlie saiu.e condi
tjone as whites. You must' comply
with those conditions and then we
will give you your deed the same as
we«would,to 'a hite people. <■
Instigated by Riel and. a few dis
loyal white political charlatans, the
half-breeds say we must have a dup
licate” of our first land grants uncon>
dilionaUy, Thejr object being to
again sell ,it without having* got a
title by improving it, They could
thus go on indefinitely—getting
free- grants from time to time or
just so fast as they could dispose of
them.
The Government very properly
say they cannot permit the state'to
be robbed in this way. And the
loyal people of Canada, Conserva
tive and Reform will support the
Government against .any _ such
system of iniquitous plundering.
Then tlie unprincipled GriUpress
have the audacious temerity to say
that the half-breeds are supported
by “large numbers of white settlers.’
We do not know that concentrated
lying could further go. • For the
very same papers have published the
official report of the killed' in the
first, and only collision at time of
• - « <ywriting, which .states that of tho
twelve killed by Riel.and the rebel
half-breeds, ten were volunteer jvhite
settlers, Anil authentic daily dis
patches do contain accounts of the
white settlers in all parts of the ter
ritory arming and anxious to take
part in suppressing the.rebe,ls,- while
" we they do not mention, even as'a
rumor, one single instance in which
white settlers haVegi.vp.iieither moral
or material “support” to the rebels..
But' says the local .mouth piece of
the rebel element of. the- Reform
party.:' “When the Globe and Ad
vertiser first announced the uprising/
the Tory organs strongly asserted
that there waS nothing in ,it, and
that these papers were unpatriotic
in circulating broadcast, the startling
etc.” The Tory' press were quite
right nfasserting;there was “nothing •
in it.” They stated the positive and
^bribluteTHrifir w h'driTbey said there
was “nothing iif jt.” And the most
rigid “scrutiny. by any unbiassed
mind will foil—to find' that there is
WIT—-- • . . tri • ' . * ‘
anything im it—any..legitimate cause
for a. rebellion. There is nothing in
it or behind it but the unpatriotic
longing of the Gr.it' element of the
Reform party to avail itself of tli.e
influence of--the murderer Rfbl with
the hal f1 breeds, to crea te ci vil-waif’for

are drenched with the blood of the

-It may be said tliat when they
gave moral'support, and for all we
know material support,- to Riel that
they only intended to embarrass the
Goygynriienfr so that it Would be
■ placed in the dilemma of yielding to ,

intentions they say were good, bu.t
the road to a hotter sphero than the
■ Northwest in • mfli-winter is said to
paved with go'cjd intentions.
‘.‘For. two years past,” quoth , pur
potem., “the ‘liberal’ press, have been
championing the. wronged people of
Manitoba arid the r Nprithwest-’’
This in plain Saxon means that tlie
disloyal Grit press-have for that.,

For if it prosper, none d'arq call it treason.”
And prosper it will not. So be

dians, driven from our soil by the
incompetence if not wilful wicked
ness of Mackenzie and Blake, are
taunted" with the sneering allusion :
^.‘Why ■ did they not) remain umier
‘the grand old flag that has braved
tbe.battle and the breeze ’ ? ” The
insulting inuendo that the “old flag”
could not afford them protection is
quite gratuitous. In the grandly
heroic ' lines of McAlpine Taylor,
formerly of Clinton, and whom' the
Era seemB to have a natural antipa
thy to, we mighp say ;
. . ' — “Behold!
There floats the flag triumphant o’er tlie

Dishonored never by tFe stain of shame,—
The flag that never fell, while British blood.
In British Hearts remained beneath its
shade,—
The flag that rules the azure )vavo, and

In sympathy, the universe of mind,—
The lion-guarded flag of Britain I”
Aye/aiid^o the end of time there
will be British .blood td guard the,
“old flag” and to assert' its suprem

means that during the Mackenzie-
Blake reign it was uncertain Whether
the Canadian Pacific Bril way would
be built during the next half cen-*
tury, if ever, and consequently the
almost involuntary settlement of
those who preferred “the grand old
flag that has^braved the battle and
the breeze” and will brave the fetid
breeze of an army of Clinton Eras
on our native soil. It means and is
a standing disgrace to the poverty
of ideas and lack of enterprise of
Canadian -Grit. rulers. It means
that Yankee immigration companies
have made only too good use of the
speeches of Blake -and Mackenzie
decrying their own country declaring
it either a country of swamp and
mubkeg or of inhospitable moun
tains. Jt is most damning evidence
of the hrirrii public men of a country,
such as Blake and Mackenzie,can do
it. It means that when Yankee
immigration companies published:,■
Grit laudatory speeches of American
soil, climate, resources and govern!
ment, and defamatory speeches
Canada, they kuew what they were
about.
The settlement of many Canadians
in Dakota is chargeable* to^» large
exterit, to the publication by the Grit
'press of such •qntruths'as the Globe
has published from time to time and
which have been repeated by such
satellites as the Clinton Era : ‘That

and unjust,’ whereas they are far
more liberal than those’ of Dakota.

Many of the •titles have been crying'
out for almple justice and .asking for the
settlement of legitimate claims, but the
government have been deaf to abeir ap

Burden after burden haa been imposed

A Hundreds of Canadian settlers were
Wtlven out of Canadian Territory by the
UDjust operation of land laws, the mon-

just claims.
More have been killed in the short
time, the rebel I ion has existed than during
the whole of the uprising of 1837.
Riel. it said to have six-nieces of can
non with him where did he get them ?
Hpw did he get such into, the country 7
with five hundred mounted police fe pre
serve Jaw and order.
Here then are the charges made, and
the questions put, and for these we may
easily find a truthful answer, Let us now
, .take them seriatiom : , _
The first charge is that “he has not
redressed the. grievances of the-half?
breeds.” This refers particularly to the
Saskatchewan half-breeds. Now, it is a
well- known matter of fact that on the
organization of the Northwest a most
liberal provision was made for the half
breeds of Manitoba, bur many of. them
could not, or would not abandon 'the
hunter’s life, and having sold their allot
ments, migrated to the hunting fields
once more and squatted on the North
and South branches of the Saskatchewan
River, wbioh have their sources in the
Rocky Mountains, thence diverging till
they became about.,300 miles apart, then
gradually approaching they meet £50
miles eastward from their source, From
the point of junction to Lake Winnipeg
is 282 miles. To the Saskatchewan dis? J
trict these men, as we Bay, migrated
when the land was an open prairie, and
they squatted once more.- Here they remained. Others who had no prior
claim for compensation settled along
the batiks of the river also, and it it
were not for the subsequent construction
of -the Canoda Pacific Railway the lands
ns such would have been valueless to.
them; anti subsequent half-breed 'claims
could not have had existence. They
squatted itr fh~e usual half-breed and-
French-Oanadian fashion,—cultivating
land m narrowjtripri fronting the river,
<which strips could be yun back, indefin
itely. When the railway was laid out
and the country surveyed, the bounds of
tbesh squatters claims were-of course
ignored, but the question of compensa
tion and squat er’s rights remained for
aTier consideration^ Such of^thesamen
as* had already received compensation
grants in Manitoba—and sold their laiid
grants—cc-uld have had' little, if any,
claim for compensation subsequently,
and it’hecame necessary to scrutinize nil
claims for compensation in a careful
manner. , The question has been one of
long-standing with the Government arid
of much difficulty . ( .
The question first came before the
Grit Government in 1874 when Mr. Mc
Kenzie. waidn the pleni tude of his power.
In 1875 Mr Laird, theri -a member of that
Government, confessed that although’
Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Mills had "applied
themselves earnestly'* to the settlement of
the claims, no progress had Been made.
The opinion of the . Minister of Justice—
Mr. Blake, l think—had been obtained,
. and some of tljem, it was thought, would
have to be recognized arid tlio Govern
ment agent at Winnipeg liad been di-,
rected to . mnke_.fi return of. all’ these
claims to tfie Department in order that
they might be withdrawn from the half-
breed lands, At-the end of 1878, af’Cr'
waiting'four yeaijs for these refnrns, the
House was informed by Mr.'.Miils that
the paperslladndt yet arrived and. -noth-;
ing had been done, and such was tlie
position of these claims" when .in Novem
ber,'1878,; the ^earnest' application" of
the Ministry wob relieved by'their dis
missal- from -office, by the voice of the
intelligent electors of the Dominion of
.-Canada.'.
-Thus, after five years “earnest anplica7
tion” to this queslion by Mr. McKgnzie
and bis Government, the details could
not even be got-in, and.o£ course nothing
had been done towards settling them
The Government of Sir John Macdonald
have a different record to show". Since
then! the claims have:been got,in, some-
hate been considered as ^tenable, some
are .deficient in proof, and further.evi
dence :b»p* been . Called for; b-s-' regards
some there is n.ot yet,a particle of evi-.
(tehee, and the most clamorous for a de-
O cision are those of the latter class, but
in order to dispose oftbe question for ever
a Commission has been appoin’ed and is
about to proceed to - the locality to hear
evidence and- adjudicate -upon.them.
• ..We may.tiiu^ contras' the five vears^want
of action of the McKi-tpZie Government
from 1875 to” 1879, wberi they shotfhd
the- best.- mode of “dijng nothing.”
Whilst in the five years .since then-the
Macdonald. Government have got, in the
. claims and have nearly reached the point
at which the final adjudication anddis-
postil of them Would talce plftce . ’
Yet this Jb the moment, when the
actual grievances of these men are on
tlw point of being aedressed,- that the,
claimants, or some-of them, have been
instigated, to. rebel against. the consti
tuted authorities of .the land and take
=JUlJmris^gamjstU.b£H^^yjeiriigrtf?th.u b=
virtual Iwby an act of treason forfetvig
any valid claims which they may have ever
had. ' ’ , .
In answering the first question T con
sider the second one is virtaia'ly disposed
of, namely, that the Gov'ernrrfont have
. been deaf to the Appeals of the'settlera
for simpleriju-tied That is true from"
1874 .to 1879, when the Grits-Were in
power, but from 1879 to 188.4, as I have
shown, the (question was earnestly ■push
ed forward to its present stage*, by the
Government of Sir. John Macdonald. .
