VETERANS OF 1837 8
In the lfouse Mr. Kirkpatrick
moved :
"That iu the opinion of this
House it is expedient that the Gov-
erment should bestow some mark of
recogni:iou upon the leteruns of
1837 8 fur their services to the cuun •
try at that time."
This eminently proper resolution
brought out the latent disloyalty of
some of the Opposition. Mr, Soul
Orville contended that the rebels
and patriots should be treated alike.
Ho held that McKenzie end I'apin-
ean ,r r" uaines that should be rever-
ed. Mr Vasey, anolLor Grit, took
the S3111d view.
It also brought out the fact that
the Reform e:ement of the Opposi-
tion is, an we have always contend-
ed, as loyal as Conservatives. Mr.
Striver, a Quebec Liberal, saint, :
-1 think my hon. friend who sits be-
hind ore S mervitle) went a little
too Err when be asserted that the report
of L rd Uurham, with regard to the
troubles of 1837 38 justified the rebellion
which took place at the time. 1 do not
thins, according to toy tee'lleetion of
that report-whir:h was certainly a very
able cue, and IA :o the adoption in tele
counrry r f m ny important constitution-
al reforms, and to the disappearance of
man; of the abuses which exiet'-d prior
to that time -I do not think the report
went so for as to justify the resorb to
arras on the part of those who rebelled at
that time. It ie ti us that thr report
alleged, and alieged justly, that great
abuses existed at that period, a:,uses
whie', cc, taray j.etificd the in ret deter-
mined constitutional endeavors on the
part of those who suffered from them, to
bring about ri form. I may nay that
while 1 have in my :onstituency a few of
those old veterans, my reasons for sup-
porting the motion of the hoc. member
for Frouteuac ere rather cf a personal
character, more so, . ierhaps, than the
reasons which influence other hon. mem'
bare of this House. I may say that I'am
the eon of a m ret who took up arms on
that occassion. Although he was a Lib-
eral all his life, and although he aympe.
thized to a great' ex eot with the views
of those who west further than he did,
yet, when armed rebellion broke out, he
arrayed hime,If on the side ,,f the000.ti-
tuted author hies, and believed it to
be hie duty to do all iu his power to
maintain, the .oneeet•ion between this
country and the mother country. Wo
must not forget that those who reb, lied
at that time were aimiug nett ea much at
the correction of the abuses which existed
then, as at the. actual d!esofution of the
connection bet aeel, this c'entry and the
mother country I cannot myself see
now, and I never euuld see, why it would
not bee. graceful and a proper and a legi-
timate step for the Ooveiamcnt to take,
to recognize the services which those old
mon rendered on an occasion very trying
to them, and very imt.nrtant to the bast
ietere t of this u,uutry, by giving them
at !east a small antonnr of land:"
Mr. McLennan, a grand Glengar-
riau, took the edge off Somerville
and Casey's deification cf William
Lyon McKenzie, by quoting Mr.
McKenzie's own opinion of what
the result would have been had he
been successful, and his expressions
of regret for the course he had taken.
This extract is taken from a letter
written by McKenzie to Earl Grey
in 1849 :
"A course of -areful observation
during the last twelve years HAS
FULLY SATISFIED ME THAT HAD THE
VIOLENT MOVEMENTS IN WItICH I AND
OTHERS WERE ENGAGED, ON 130TH
SIDES OF TUE NIAGARA, PROVED
SUCCESSFUL, THAT SUCCESS
\\TOI;LI) HAVE DEEPLY IN•
JURED THE PEOPLE OF CAN•
ADA, whom I then believed I was
serving at great rinks. 'I have long
been sensible of the errors committed
during that period. No punishment
that power could inflict or nature
could stsctain, would have equalled
the regrets I have felt on account of
uucfltu.4.I.:rltcl ,rfri(1.,. u1'pte,',:[talcl

Probably the rebels of to -day
know better than the chief partici-
CI•
-
pant in the rebellion of 1837-8
whether he did right or wrung.
\Ve prefer his own deliberate and
matured estimate, that, however
well meaning his intention. he "deep
ly injured the people of Canada•"
Aud it does seem that it would be
eminently proper to reward the lis- t
ing veterans who prevented McKen-
zie's further Beceess, which he ad-
mits would have deeply injured the
people of Canada, without includ-
ing those who tried to do that in -
jet
ry.
WHO PAYS THE DUTY,
It requires no ru•gluuent to prove
that au importing country which
buys from a foreig,n country articles
of prime necessity which it
cannot ae;,t doss not see fit for
economical reasons to produce, and
puts a duty on them, itself pays the
duty.
Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
au American statistician and econo-
mical writer of national repute, in
writing to the Chairman of the
Commercial Union Committee in
New York, remarks :
"Las- year the imp ,rte of fish into this
U,ited S-at':s were valued at two and a
y3.rter million d,•lla:s. We taxed the
fisc five handr..d teuusand dollars.
Who pave it? Mainly thu working
paopte r f New 1$vgland, wm, need the
fish most, and wh.. barn rhe least where
with to nay it We .mported !set yeiar
8650,000 worth of p -t -.t• e . ; we taxed
them $292,010 A few years ag-, when
the crop cf potatoes in New England
was very Short, the people paid io that
year a tax .an Canad`tri and Irish ta-
toes of over $1,250.000. All these taxes
on fish, potatoes, barley, horses etc., which
Canaria provide.✓, for ifs, ender directly into
the cost of the mann facturing and
mechanical art., in the United Slates."
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Last welek it cost 13 cents to carry
wheat from Chicago to Liveapool ;
this -week it costs 15i cents.
The public of the United States
have to pay $15,000,000 bounties to
home produced sugar. We do
these things better in Canada.
In 1890 there were 97 votes count
ed against unrestricted reciprocity
on a vite in the Canadian House
of Commons. in 1891 there were
11.4 counted against it on a division.
\Vith the kill -all McKinley bill
in force, Canada exported the past
year $26,179,136 worth of the pro.
ducts of the forest, as against $19,-
511,575 under the last year of the
Grit weak-kneed policy.
In amendment to the Dominion
'Elections Act it is now provided
that money deposited with revising
officers or any other officer under the
Act may be made in the bills of
any chartered Canadian bank.
Ex -Senator Iugalls placed hire-.
self on record the other day as a
prohibitionist—a Kansas prohibi•
tionist who hover takes a drink
when he cannot get one, and that
.he found he always could get in
any prohibition state.
Last week eggs were selling in
Hamilton, Ont., for 17 to 18 cents,
same day they were selling in
Buffalo, N. Y., for 16 to 17 cents.
If the American duty of 5 cents hai3
caused the price iu Canada to be 5
cent less than Buffalo they ought to
have brought only 11 to 12 cents in
Hamilton.
The Government pays fair salaries
to its employees and those who are
proven guilty of making money
illegally whether by the acceptance
of bribes or by false representations
should -be,. made—to -walk as -plank
outside civil service. This genuine
Conservative policy, we are pleased
to see, is being carried out.
\Viteau's broilers seem to be at a
discount in the 60 millions market.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press quotes
spring chickens, 121- to 15 cents.
A good many of the Globe's
charges against its political oppo-
nents are entirely original—made
on time plan the buy made the
wooden ship, "all out of its own
head."
The prospect of good crops in
Canada has caused calamity Cart-
wright to give a large order for
Burdock Blood Bitters to tone up
his system so that he can hear up
under the strain.
11 was a cold morning for the Op-
poratiou at Ot.lawn when the trade
policy of the Government was sus-
tained by a voting majority of 26.
The coolness reached even to Clin-
ton. Itis not often we have frost
in the latter part of July.
The Pharisaical press that are
rolling up their oyes in affected
horror at the Ottawa departmental
irregularities should have a more
scrupulous regard for the most
fundamental of all moralities—
veracity—when reporting the evi-
dence given before committee,
The Stratford Times says the no-
tion that the rain falls upon the just
and the unjust is an exploded one,
The Times has probably not noticed
the fact that an Ontario Grit firm
had received an order for 200 harv-
esting machines as the outcome of
the reins of last month.
In the matter of controverted elec-
tion the law is amended so as to have
petitions tried before two judges in•
stead of one. Hereafter a candidate
will not be liable for corrupt acts of
his agents committed against his
express orders, and where the can-
didate also took reasonable means
for preventing the commission of
corrupt practices.
Last year Canada exported one and
a half million dollars worth more of
products than the year before, and
we imported half a million dollars
worth leas. This means that Lana-
is two millions of dollars better off
under the operations of the McKin-
ley bill than we were before it came
into force. Three cheers and a tiger
for McKinley i
"A great disgrace to Canada" is
what some eminent men term the
wrong doings of some of the civil
servants at Ottawa. It is nothing
of the kind. It is a disgrace to the
delinquents. It is monstrous to as
sea that a few rascally understrap-
pers in the public service can dis•
grace either Canada or the Conser-
vative party.
. The principles of the Conserva-
tive party aro not compromised by
the misdoings of office holders.
These offences the Conservative
party will not condone, as did the
Grit party Speaker Anglin's illegal
receipt of $20,000 contract money
from the McKenzie Govj'nrnent
and when Minister of Militia Vail
received $25,000 illegally.
Mr. John Robson Cameron. edit-
or of the Hamilton Spectator, has
been successfully showing that some
of the statements of :lir. Cameron;
M. P., of Huron, and truth are as
far apart as the poles, The Toronto
cele,grana.,Adroitly ...mixes...the two -
Camerons together in an endeavor
to prevent the public from knowing
"which from tother."

Mr. Dearness, school inspector
fur East Middles.lx, who has been
rusticating in Essex, Ont., heard a
farmer there sty he had au offer of
$8,000 for his crop of peaches on
an orchard or 51) acre.. 'I'I:is, while

The Fanners' Alli+luees through-
out lire Western States are discuss-
ing whether it will pay to hold
their wheat ur sell now. It is calcu-
lated that it is worth one per cent a
month to bold it, And statistics
are given fur 21 years showing that
iu only seven years out of the
twenty-one did the tanner gain by
holding his wheat until December.
fn eleven years he gained by hold-
ing it until May es against ten years
ill which he lost by holding it,.
There was a large balance in favor
of selling iu September.
The difference between the Grit
policy of nurestrictad reciprocity or
free trade and the Conservative
policy of reciprocity, is the differ-
ence between downright gift and
even exchange. Conservative re•
ciprocity means that each country
gets an equivalent for whatever con-
cession is made. Unrestricted
reciprocity is unconditional cum-
u,ercial surrender, which patliamei:t
has just voted down.
Mowat's inspector of registry
offices has boon complimenting the
management of the one in Halton
at the expense of the others in the
Province. lIe reports : "The regis
try office in Melton is in every way
admirably conducted, a statement
which I do not often make." Could
lie not have pointed out the defalca-
tions in the Waterloo registry office
without talking a drive at she many
well conducted offices, such as the
one in Huron for instance.
Why should Canadian Grits be
working heaven and sheol to get.
the Americana to remove trade re-
strictions which are working injur-
iously to the Yankees. The platform
of the Democratic State Convention,
adopted recently, contains this
plank :—"We favor close commer-
cial relations with Canada, and the
removal of the embarrassing and
annoying restrictions which only vex
our people without yielding any sub-
stantial revenue to Dur Government."
Let them alone and the fruits of
their "squeeze Canada" policy will
soon come home to them.
Sir:John Thonrpson's amendment
to the Franchise Act provides that
a voter must at the time of voting be
a British subject. The old form
said he must be a British subject by
birth or naturalization. ]erring
the last, and we presuuli former
elections, men voted who were Brit-
ish subjects by birth ..and yet had
become American subjects and were
such at the time of voting yet took
the oath because they were British
subjects by birth. This fraudulent
evasion of the law will not now
work. And the revision of the ,rye•
liminary lists is extended to the 15th
of August.
The American Government gave
$554,558 to sectarian schools among
