Canadai's history. : They serve :is the As a rule, history builds itself a- round certain leading figures, or per- sonalities, in our thoughts. Par in- stance, tnettion of the War of 1812 invariably brings to our reminds the navies of Brock, Laura Secord, and De Salaberry; the Rebellion of 1837 centred around Macz1 enaie and Pap- framework or structure around which the story of the years between the featly forties and the years which marked the beginning of a new group of political leaders, ._.about 1911,--- Imay be built, IThe early lives of these three Cana dian Prime Ministers differ widely. In 1the careers of MacDonald and Laur ler, however, there are certain points lot similarity. „ Both were members' o the House for almost a decade before they attracted much attention; For both of them, this was a time of study and preparation. Both, also, had re- markably long parliamentary careers, -MacDonald's extending over a per- iod of forty-seven years, and Laur- icr's, forty-five years, John Alexander MacDonald was born in Scotland in 1815, the year of Waterloo. His parents carie to Can- ada when he was very young. At the age of fifteen, he began: the study of law, and some five or six years later, he had opened a law office in. Kings- ton ingston in partnership with him were two other young men; Alexander Camp- bell and Oliver 1blowat, It is interest.. ing to note that twenty-five years lat- er, all three were Cabinet Ministers, Another twenty-five years, ' and one was Prime Minister of "Canada, one was Prime Minister of Ontario, and one was Lieutenant -Governor of that: province. MacDonald was elected to Parliament in 1844, at a very unsettl- ed period in the country's political history. As a result of the Rebellion, Lord Durham's subsequent report, and Great Britain's action upon it, party politics were m a chaotic state, The Tory party and the Reform, par- ty had each split into two wings. Dif- ferent attempts were made to esta- blish a new party, but these were un- successful. MacDonald brought a- bout the solution of the problem by bringing together the more moderate factions of each party -those who saw things more nearly alike -thus forming what became known as the Liberal -Conservative Party. .As lead- er of this party, about 1864, he joined the ranks of those favouring Confed- .eration. With his political enemy, George Brown, he worked earnestly to bring it about. In 1867 Confed- eration became a fact, and Lord Monck called upon MacDonald to be- come Canada's first Prime Minister. As such he faced many and difficult problems, A coalition ministry was formed, consisting of thirteen ' mem- bers, -five from Ontario, four from Quebec, and four from the Maritime Provinces, The North West Terri- tory was 'bought from the Hudson's Bay Company, the Washington Trea- ty with United States was drawn up, British Columbia becanee a province of the Dominion in 1871 on condition that a railway be built linking her with the East, and Prince Edward Is- land,. after some indecision, also came into Confederation. At the election m 1872; MacDonald was returned to power, but with a re- duced majority. Shortly after Parlia- ment convened, Mr. Huntington, a member of the Opposition, brought startling charges against Sir John, al- legingthat he and his party had re- " ceived money from the Canadian Pa- cific Railway during the recent elec- tion campaign. MacDonald resigned, and in 1874, the Liberal .Party went in with a large majority. The new Prime Minister, the Hon- ourable Mr. Alexander MacKenzie, was also Scottish by birth, but the story of his early life differs from that of MacDonald. In Scotland, he learned .the stone -mason's trade, and followed it for some years after com- ing to Canada, In. Kingston and in Sarnia to -day, � d y, on e may see buildings, some of the stones of which, were cut and laved by MacKenzie, Later, he went into newspaper work, and then was elected to Parliament. During his career as Prime Minister, while a guest of the Governor-General • at Quebec, he wrote an interesting letter to his wife in words to this 'effect,- "I sit. here at the window while I write, enjoying one of the finest views in all Canada. Looking down, I,. can see the dock where thirty-five years ago I landed, an immigrant lad, with five shillings in my pocket." MacKenzie came into power at a time when the country was suffering a financial depression similar to that of to -day. Then, as now, it was a world-wide condition, the result of wars, -the Americen Civil War, and others. MacKenzie's policy and ad- vice to the people was to save money, Canny Scot that he was, he "sat upon, the fid of the Treasury," A commit- tee` on the Depression of Trade was formed, but it accomplished little, As a remedy the National Policy was ad- vocated, and in 1878 the Conservative Party came into power with this as the principal plank in its platform, In 1880, MacKenzie was asked to resign, and: 131ake became leader of the Lib- eral Party. Sir John MacDonald, apparently crushed by disgrace of the Pacific scandal, had been merely biding his time, Shortly alter his return tb.pow- er, conditions did bogie to improve in Caneda,- a:ed the, rest of the wort([ ss 19111dW11161Ill di1i0111191911011115111111139111911111111111111011119i111i111p3fl11911191111Ph 1 t91 tit dl At the Peacock Cafe Full Course "•'`It cal Noon Service, Tea and Ice, Cream DANCE!

The building of the Canadian Pacific Railway was resumed and fin- ally completed under immense diffi- culties, financial ifficulties,'financial and otherwise. Apart - from his work in helping to bring a- bout Confederation, the building of this railway was, without doubt, Sir John's greatest achievement. It was first used in transporting , troops to the North West in the Rebellion of 1885. This struggle made itself felt in many ways, even after its suppres- sion. There was much discussion as to the punishment to be metedout to Riel, the leader of the Rebellion, and the decision that he was to be hang- ed was the cause ofconsiderable rac- ialfeeling in Canada: The Parlianmentry debates on this. subject were the means of bringing into the limelight the brilliant young Drench Canadian, Wilfrid Laurier. Called upon to speak to an ' oration which was warmly complimented by political friend and foe alike. He was born in a little village. in Quebec a- bout the year 1840. He was a deli- cate child, and indeed, his health was not at any time in his .-life, rugged. His father, a farrier and land survey- or, seems to have ..itad•some-premon ition that his son was destined for a political career, forhisearly_ life: and" education . was such as to make him broad, - He lived for some time with a Scotch Protestant family named Murray, and he often spoke admiring- ly in later years of the Christian life in that home. He reoeived a splendid education, and :as a young man he practiced•law. In 1874, he was elect- ed a member of the Dominion Assem- bly, and; several years later, was made Minister of Inland Revenue. He spent much "time of these first ten years or so in study and indeed, as long as lee lived, he was an: earnest student. It was his custom, when times were duly in the House, to sum- mon a page, who in a few minutes `Would return and deposit on the .desk in front of Laurier a huge dictionary, As long as no important debates were pending, there he would sit, carefully conning its pages. Thus enriched an - already extensive vocabulary. It has often been remarked that - Laurier and MacDonald were alike in many ways, that even certain manner- isms were common to both. In Pro- fessor London's opinion, this was not surprising. Edward Blake, for some years the leader of the Liberal Party,, though a man of splendid ability and: keen intellect, was hardly the man for leadership in politics. It was natural, therefore, that Laurier after MacDon- ald, a man of dominant personality - and an astute politician. - About 1888, Mr. Laurier became the leader of the Liberal Party. Ii spite of his delicate health, the. 'fact that he was a French Canadian and a. Roman Catholic, and the popular - stand he had taken regarding Riel's. execution, Blake insisted that he was, the man to become his successor. MacDonald's death, in 1891, after a strenuous but successful - `election campaign, marked the beginning of the Conservative Party, Sir John J. C. Abbott, Sir John Thompson, and Sir - Mackenzie••Bowell, followed MacDon- ald, but m 1896, over the Manitoba&. School - Question, the Government - - came to grief. The Liberal Party' was victorious in the election' held: that year, and' Laurier became Prime Minister, which position he held for the next fifteen years, until 1911. A- bout this time, it might be said that a new era in Canadian politicshad dawned, New names began to be prominent, -those of Borden; Meige hen, King and Bennett. This as the speaker remarked in conclusion brings' us to a time when Canadian politics are no longer a matter of history, but have become live issues within the memories of most of us, and therefore they, cans scarcely be 'discussed in a. non-parti- san organization such as the Canad- ian Club.
