teachers. More Scots were
needed; to emigrate, as a good
settlement of Scots along the
border of the lakes, facing the
..United States, would help to
guarantee the peace, for the
government -still were not sure
of the loyalty.of the people who
had migrated from the United
States. The war of 1812-14 was
recently over and was still fresh
in the minds of the meinbers of
the government and other con-
cerned 'parties.
Emigrants `from England,
'Ireland and Scotland were
'heeded, to balance the
"population, and in this, the
Government, of the United_
Kingdom readily agreed. Up to
this time the Government of
the United Kingdom had been.
paying the expenses of the
province,. .end supplying the
militia to guard the province.
With more emigration the
province of Upper Canada
would become ;Anon ,,,self-
.: supporting and would be, able
to raise its , own militia, to
stand in defence -of tbe province
in case it was ever again -at-
tacked by the United States.
Many emigrants were sent
out after the Wars, by the
Government of the Unit•ed
Kingdom, and these were sup-
plied with tools, and seed and
free land, .but this, proved a
very costly venture for a gover-
nment whose finances were
already depleted by wars. ,
In discussing the conditions
of Upper -,Canada with John
Galt, 'Father Alex Macdonell
was able to point out, the recent
success - of several new set-
tlements. The Colonel Thomas
Talbot .settlement along Lake
Erie; the Baldoon settlement of
Lord Selkirk; and the set-
tlement taking place in Dum-
fries County by John Galt's
friend, William Dickson,
And in• the . land beyond
Dumfries, was an ever-growing
settlement of Mennonites .from
Pennsylvania, who had pur-
chased land in'Waterloo Town-
ship, commincing in. 1800. They
were pacifists, self-suffi�cient
farmers and good settlers.
From this visit of• Father
'Macdonell, Joh'n Galt realized
the settlers of Upper Canada
resented the wild lands of the
Crown and • Clergy Reserves •
and , wanted themsold, and
both governments, the "United
Kingdom arid Upper Canada,'
were aware'of this fact.
Both governments were
desperately in need . of cash,
and there were business men in
London who could be contac-
ted. These men ' had money to
invest and were still looking for
a good profitable venture:
Both governments saw the
emigration fror•n the United
'Kingdom and Ireland as a
• solution • to their balance of
population problem.
John Galt wrote, of Father
Macdonell',S information regar-
ding the Canadas, ' "from this
circumstance the Canada Com-
pany was ultimately formed."
- To ,promote this idea, John
Galt wrote to the Chancillor of
theExchequer, on Dec. 16th,.
1823.
'Sir,
Father .Macdonell, of Upper
Canada, to whom I have.given

Ten Nights in a Bar -Room is
a melodrama depicting . the
`evils of drink. •It was first
produced in England more
than a century ago. Audiences
were swept into states of
despair and sorrow, upon
viewing the destructive influen-
ces of "spirits' ' on the youth
and• the "sight of men in the
throes of the DTs .Today,
audiences may sit back 'and•
delight more in the satire of the
situations presented, cheer the
-return of sobriety and relish the
grand style 'of 'traditional
melodrama.
