It was further provided that no future,. t . conf[scations should be made, that . imprisoned Loyalists 'should. be released, arid' that no.further -persecu- tions should .be permitted: . Congress, accordingly, 'sent recommendations to. the States concerned, but without ef- fect. Instead of due restitution, petty annoyance and persecution followed, severe ordinances and statute`s ' were passed against the .Loyalists, and an exodus:• froth, the country was the on- ly relief left ,open • to •them. Loyalists resident in ' New York went to Britain, Nova Scotia and Up- per Canada. An estimated 2,000 per- sons crossed the, Atlantic between 1775,,, and 1785, but a number of them afterwards came to Canada. The im- migrants to Nova Scotia included sol- diet's, 'farmers, merchants, profession- al men, men of various trades and of no trade.• From 1776, small parties of Loyal- ists began to locate there. Early in 1753 agents were sent from New York City to choose sites in the territory from Annapolis to St. Marys and re- port -thereon. Emigration .on •a large Scale then began. The total number who settled in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island is placed' at not less. than 35,000, of whom 30,00 probably, came from New York. Britain furn- ished as many as 33;682 rations and on November .30, 1785, was still sup- plying food for 26,317 refugees. Several general•routes were, taken by the Loyalists in --coming to Can- ada. Five of these were by the Hud- son River to points 'between Oswego and - Montreal. Some went by way of the. Atlantic and River St. Lawrence, while others went •. across' western New York State. ..In 1782, the refu- gees in Canada were-_ so _numerous that •.monthly returns were. made of them, and by 1791, the English popu- lation of Lower Canada had grown. to about 20,000, due la$gely to the 'influx of Loyalists, In Upper Canada (Ontario), 10,000 Loyalists arrived in 1783 alone. The next year the population had doubled and by 1791'was estimated, at, 25,000. `Britain undertook the task of cam-' pe•nsating them for, _ losses, -or at :east . to. restore, lb some extent, their lost fortunes. The civil authorities received the Loyalists with open arms, even though their -investigation of claims was rigid and sometimes severe. The general policy was to reeeive• all Loyalists, help the needy, encourage the .mento enlist in the army, arid make 'all as self-supporting' as possible. To the refrigees, lands, tools, pro- visions and seeds were given. ']o the influential citizens, army officers, of- ficials and churchmen were given lar- ger land grants, positions in the army, state or .church,' or pensions. Actual tosses were made good in proportion to services -rendered. All who suffer- ' in their '"rights, ' properties and i otession for the sake of loyalty, were 'recoghi ed.as having a claim 'to compensation. -! Many endured privation's in good feeling. But some felt the pinch: "All our golden promises vanished in imoke,".wrote one of them a year lat- er, "We were taught td believe this place- was not barren and foggy as had been represented, but we find it ten times worse. We have . nothing but His ,Majesty's rotten pork and un - baked flour to subsist on . It is the most inhospitable clime that ever mortal set foot on." The' -treatment of Loyalists in.Up- per and Lower Canada and in the 'Maritimes was :similar. So far as possible, compensation was to be made in land grants. Surveys were hegun..in 1783. There was no uni- formity in the size of the grants, though the -rule was io give every 'adult male and every widow 200 acres. Civil and military officers received larger grants, some as much as 1,200 acres, • • In Upper Canada, 3,200,000 acres were granted. to Loyalists 'who settled there before 1787.' About .730,000' ac- res went to militiamen;' 450,000 to discharged soldiery and sailors; 225,- 000 to magistrates, and barristers; 136,000 to executive councillors; 50,- 000 to five legislative councillors; 37,000 to clergymen; 264,000 to sur- veyors and helpers ; 500,000 for schools and 93,000 ,to officers of the' army and navy and smaller. tracts to prominent persons. The movement towards the newly- surveyed settlements began in March; 1784, and by July the settlers were drawing lots and locating on their lands. ' By 1789, about 17,000 Loyal- ists were settled above Montreal: The settleinent was still iris, progress in 1790, by which time, it was estimated that at least 25,000 Loyalists were lo- cated in Upper and Lower Canada. In addition to' feed, ' clothing and blankets were furnished the Loyalists from 1783 :to'1787. T•he' practice wad generally adopted of •Supplying them until they could support themselves. Although, Loyalists ,were welcomed from the United States, after 1784, they were not entitled to provisions, in their work of building houses, clearing and cultivating the land, the settlers received assistance from the • ::4 ti. • Myra. i•. 4'1•,Ileachruan)) • :,So?ne time ago. I3 'V. 1110e, of the Onetaville. Forester, one of theany bright country editors of the Province Of Ontario; pt out '.a story in which: he suggested` -khat we should have the sa};re policy at home as • abroad, that is all,pa,Zties 8houid unite on a com- nson purpose, while the dear old par- ty^ system walked out of the window, To Allis I replied that criticism was worth retaining, we should develop it rather than repress -it and .that chin- ination of criticism might be the death of good government. Now. Mr. Ria& comes back with these wo{ds: "Werenot persuaded a p waded Chat the values Of criticism, as we know it in the House of Commons,, are such as to justify the many weak- nesses of our party„ system. We place a party in. pew®r because it has a majority of followers in the House pledged to. support its platform. Any member adhering to such a party, who daresto criticize' the leadership, or. breaks , from the •,pellicles Laid down by caucus vote, is ostracised, and us- ually read- • out -bf the party par- liamentary group. In other words, for him, Criticism is fatal." I want to get this matter -clear. So long as Brother Rice and I continue. the fight there will be nothing done about it, so in a spirit of conciliation I offered to go 50-50 with Mr. Rice. My contention is that if all parties were abolished how could theybe Prevented from being born again. Men, with common views would group together in order to carry out their purpose so that all Mr. Rice's effort would be lost. Now here's where the 50-50 comes in.. The •two old parties are coming together. The differences .between Liberal and Conservative are no long- er clearly marked. If a man from, Mars came along and studied- the sit- uation for a few years he would have difficulty in distinguishing which was which, in time the dividing line is likely to disappear,, Under these conditions much time is wasted. The House spends time going back over past history, living en the ancient grudge which once ex- isted and never dies: Join• the' two. old parties in wedded bliss and let Mr. Coldwell take the others—he will have his hands • fall which will be good for him, Mr. Rice wit.. then have what he wants, less .talk and more action—and this .is important— I shall have the pleasure of writing 'bout it, telling the funny things which are certain to happen. If I am right in this contention, union is inevitable. The narrower the dividing line becomes the easier Government. Requests for tools, how- ever, although readily granted, were 'pronounced extravagant. At • first, arms were 'refused, but later some guns were distributed "for the mess- es, for the pigeon and wild fowl sea- son." . Livestock also., which was not giv- en at ,first, was finally allotted, one cow to every two families.' As time. went on, the farms were well cleared, yielded. good crops and livestock. be- came more plentiful. Probably $4,- 000,000 was spent in surveys, official salaries, clothing,, food, , tools and stock before the Loyalists in Upper and Lower Canada were established on'a self-supporting basis. In November, 1.789, Lord Dorches- ter requested the Council at Quebec "to put a,' mark of honor- Open the families who adhered to. the unity • of the Empire aad joined the Royal Standard in America before the treaty of separation in the year 1783." The Council concurred, and there- after all Loyalists were "to be dis- tinguished by the letters U.E. affixed to their names, alluding -to their great principle, the uriity of the Empire." A register of the U.E. Loyalists was ordered to be kept and for 20 years names were added to the 'list. The British' Government was urged by the King to heat the Loyalists with "A due and generous attention," hence that body appointed a: commis- sion of live members in July, 1783, to classify the losses and 'services.
