The size of the book is an all-sufficient excuse for defects of- that kind. The election record, which is the principal feature of the work, has never been attempted before in this form, so far as we know. Fault will be found in many cases, no doubt, with the political labels attached to the candidates. If these were intended to describe the political opinions of the candidates, no de- fence could be found. But this book is designed not for keen politicians, who recognize fine distinctions of opinion, but for the great mass of the people whose inter- est is centred in the struggle between the great parties.* The effort has been to indicate, as well as a few letters can do it, which side was victorious, and which was de- feated, and also whether or not either party received any considerable assistance which may fairly be designated an *' independent ** vote. In many cases, especially in the early elections in the Maritime Provinces, when 6 rose's POLITICAL HAND-BOOK. parties were completely broken up, it has been found al- most impossible to say on which side of the Dominion party line the victory rested. The editor has been guided by the best information within his reach. If this little work answers some of the thousand and one questions that constantly arise in political discussions^ it will have accomplished its object.

The opening Speech informs Parliament why the members have been called together. As the Governor-Gen- eral speaks only by advice of his Ministers, the Speech at the opening is a declaration of the measures which the Gov- ernment will bring down during the Session, or of the policy which they will pursue respecting any matter. The Speech is one of the first things debated during the Session, and if an amendment to it is carried it is usually regarded as a vote of want of confidence, as asserting the preference of the ma- jority of the people's representatives for a different policy from that proposed. In order to assert its independence, and its authority to discuss matters not brought forward by the Viceroy, each House — Senate and Commons — usually considers formally some measure which is not dealt with fur- ther than its first reading. In the Senate, since Confedera- tion, *' An Act relating to Railways " has been the Bill thus introduced, while in the Commons it is " An Act respecting the Administration of Oaths of Office." The Speech at the closing usuall} refers to measures which have been passed during the Session just closing, thanks the members for their attendance and diligence, and announces the prorogation of Parliament. The following statement of measures named at the opening of Parliament each Session since Confed- eration (except the Supply Bill, which is passed every year) will suggest the character of the several Speeches from the Throne. The names of the Bills not carried tthrough during the same session as announced, are printed in italics : 1867-8 — To assimilate the laws in the newly-united Prov- inces relating to Curreucy,Customs,Excise and Revenue, gen- erally ; To provide a uniform postal system ; To provide for the management of the Public Works and properties of the Donunion ; To provide for a scheme of Militia and Defence ; To provide for the administration of Indian Affairs ; To pro- SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. 11 vide uniform laws respecting Patents of Invention and Dis- covery ; To provide for the naturalization of aliens ; To as- similate the Criminal Law ; Law relating to BanJcruptcy and Insolvency ; To provide for the construction of the Intercolo- nial Railway ; To provide for Western Territorial Extension ; To protect and develop the Fisheries and Marine interests ; To define the Privileges of Parliament ; To establish unifo^'tn laws relating to Electv^ns and Controverted Elections. 1869 — Respecting t. p acquisition of the North-West ; Further to assimilate the Criminal Laws of the Provinces ; Election Law ; Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law ; Patents of Invention and Discovery ; Banking and Currency. 1870 — Government of the North- West Territories ; Bank- ing and Currency ; Elective Franchise and Elections ; Coasting Trade ; Supreme Court ; Census. 1871 — Admission of British Columbia ; Canada Pacific Railway ; Horth- West Lands ; Currency ; Extension to Man- itoba of Dominion Laws ; Elections ; Weights and Measures ; Insurance Companies ; Savings Banks ; Inspection. 1872 — Agreement to the Treaty of Washington ; Improve- ment of Canals ; Baie Verte Canal ; Re-adjustment of Re- presentation ; Relating to Superior Court Judges ; Public Lands and Mines in Manitoba and the North-West ; Public Sealth. 1873 — Collection of Statistics ; Election Law ; Law relating to Controverted Elections ; Merchant Shipping ; Pilots ; Salvage ; Trinity Houses of Montreal and Quebec ; Secretarif of State arid Secretary fm- the Provinces; Criminal Law ; Weights and Measures ; Inspection. 1874 — Ballot Act ; Supreme Court ; Controverted Elections ;.

This railway now runs from Quebec to Halifax, N. S,, and St. John, N. B. A road from Quebec to 8t. Andrews, N. B., was projected by Henry Fairbairn, in 1832, seven years after the opening of the Stockton and Darlington (Eng.) line, the fest railway in the world. An association was formed, which sent out two explorers, Messrs. George H. Smith and E. R. Hatheway, who explored a line from St. Andrews north to Woodstock, thence up the valley of the St. John to Mars Hill, 120 miles from St. Andrews, and then struck westerly to the line to Quebec, previously explored by Captain Yule, Royal Engineers. A feasible route was found. Further explorations were made, and negotiations carried on between the Provinces, and with the Imperial Government, which it is nqt m cessary to detail. The Ashburton Treaty of August, 1842, ce«ting to the United States the thers among them. The British North America Act, constitutiny; the Domin- ion, contained a distinct provision that united Canavla should build the Intercolonial road, commencing within six months, and finishing within four years, and the British Govenmient guaranteed the int^'rest on a loan of £3,000.000 to he raised for the purpose. Surveys were continued, aiid long and bitter controversies waged as to the route to be chosen. The Chief Enginner, Mr. Fleming, favoured thn northern 14 rose's political hand-book. " , line. In the House of Commons, on December 3rd, 1867, Sir John Macdonald moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole to consider certain resolutions rela- tive to the Intercolonial Railway. The resolutions submit- ted passed providing for raising a loan of £3,000,000 sterling, to build that part of the line from Riviere du Loup to Hali- fax still left un constructed, the loan to bear interest at four perce.it. guaranteed by Britain, and with sinking fund of one per cent. ; also that £1,000,000 sterling more be raised without Imperial guarantee to complete the road. On Dec. 4, Hon. A. Morris, chairman of Committee of the Whole, reported the resolutions, which were adopted by the House, , and a Bill based on the resolutions was read the first time •' the same day. The second reading was carried Dec. 17. On motion to refer it to Committee of the whole, Dorion moved that the location should not be finally adopted with- out previous assent of Parliament After discussion, the amendment was rejected by thirty five yeas to eighty-three nays, and the Bill was passed through Committe, and (De- cember 19) read the third time, the Royal assent beint^ given December 21. The Act, as it appears in the Staiute Book, provides for a railway, with a gauge of five feet, six inches (subsequently changed to four feet, eighi and one-half inches), to be constructed under the charge of four commissioners, who were to have full power to locate and construct the line, pro- vided that contracts for $10,000 or over should be sanctioned by the Governor-General-in-Council, the loans to be raised as above stated The Commissioners appointed were A. Walsh, chairman, Hon. E. B. Chandler, C. J. Bjydges, and W. F. Coflin. On the resignation of Mr. Coffin, Hon. A. W, McLelan was appointed to succeed him. The work was divid- ed into four districts, as follows : — ??t. Lawrence, 1*29^ miles ; Restigouche, 128 ; Miramichi, 117^ ; Nova Scotia, 124|. These were sub-divided, each sub-division being covered by one contract. The road was ready throughout for traffic 1st J uly, 1876. The capital account of the road has never been closed, and it is impossible to decide what portion of the ex- penditure is for construction, what f(ir permanent repairs, &c.

This Ddpartment has charge of the North- West Territories, Crown Lands in every part of the Dominion, Indian Affairs, and Geological Survey. By Act passed in 1880, the Department was divided, the " Department of In- dian Affairs " being specially constituted, but with the Min- ister of the Interior as " Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs,'' and head of both Departments. This change was objected to by Mills on behalf of the Liberals, on the ground that it would lead to greater expense, which was unntCvasary. In 1883 an Act was passed providing that any Minister of the Crown might be Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs. The following have been Ministers of the Interior : — Sir A. Campbell, Senator, appointed Jst July, 1873, resigned 6th November, 1873, with Cabinet; Hon. D. Laird, M. P., ap- pointed 7th November, 1873, appointed Lieutenant-Governor N.

The head of the Department is the Postmaster-General, appointed under the Great Seal of Canada. The Department has control of all matters relating to postal arrangements, money order and post-office savings banks, subject to Acts of Parliament. The postal laws were amended from time to time and consol- idated, and again amended in 1875. The rate for letters be- tween points in Canada was fixed at 3 cents per ^ ounce, and has since remained the same. In August, 1883, Mr. Auger asked whether the Government intended to reduce the rate to 2 cents, as in the United States, the reply being that such was not the intention. In 1883 Mr. Charlton moved for the papers counc)l, to authorize the building of the road through some other pass than the Yellowhead Pass. After a discussion ranging over the whole Canadian Pacific Railway question, the Bill was read the second time and passed in Committee of the Whole, 19th April ; read third time, 20th April ; passed in the Senate without amendment and received the Royal Assent, 17th May. Session of 1883. — Besides many debates on minor subjects relaiiing to the railway, and the general discussion begun by Sir Charles Tupper's general statement of the position of and affairs in relation to the enterprise, a bill was introduced by Hon. J. J. C, Abbott, 24th April, giving the Canadian Pacific Railway power to lease the Credit Valley and the Ontario and Quebec. The bill was accepted by the Government, and althous^h a number of amendments were moved, it was passed. On 27th October, after the session, an order-in- Council was passed, under which the Government was to receive from the Company cash and securities for $24,527,245, and allow 4 per cent, interest on the cash, and pay out $1,500,000 a year for ten years as 3 per cent, dividend on the $100,000,000 of stock of the Company. Thiti was afterwards modified to cover a similar dividend on only $65,000,000, as $35,000,000 remained unissued. Afterwards the Company asked for return of the $1,000,000 cash and $5,000,000 guarantee bonds, a postpon- ment of payment of part of the cash, under order-in-Council referred to above, and a cash advance from the Government of $22,500,000. Session of 1884. — On 1st February, Sir Chas. Tupper sub- mitted resolutions to the House of Commons, carrying out the OANADIAir PACIFIC RAILWAY. Ill laHt proposals indicated above. An immediate cash payment of ^,000,000 was provided for to pay off the floating debt and the right of possession by the Government was made to depend upon the failure of the Company to pay 12 months interest, and it was provided the balance of the $22,500,000 should be paid as the work progressed, the whole to be secured by mortgage of the whole line. In moving the House into Committee of the Whole on the resolutions (Feb. 5), Sir Chas. Tupper made a statement regarding the position and progress of the work. He submitted data showing that on the line between Callander and Port Moody, the Company had expended $23,743,305 over their receipts from Government subsidy. He expressed the belief that the line would be completed in five instead of ten years, and the hope that it would not be necessary much longer to enforce the monoply and said, " Such is the confidence of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, in the power of the Canadian Pacific Railway to protect itself, that when the line is constructed north of Lake Superior, the Govern- ment feel it will not be incumbent upon them to preserve the position they have hitherto felt bound to preserve, that of refusing to consent to the construction of lines within the Province of Manitoba, connecting with the American railways to the South." The Bill was opposed by the Lib- erals and many amendments moved, all of which were voted down. Session of 1885. — On 10th June Sir J. Macdonald moved for Committee of the Whole to consider resolutions (1) authorizing the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to issue $35,000,000 five per cent, first mortgage bonds, to be a first charge on all the property of the Company, except the land grant and the Algoma branch, the bonds to be delivered to the Govern- ment ; (2) on the delivery of the bonds the Government's mortgage should cease and the shares held by the Govern- ment be cancelled, provided that the Algoma branch should still be held as security for the repayment of the loan advanced by the Government ; (3) the whole loan of the Gov- ernment to the Company ($29,880,912) to be repaid 1st May, 1891 ; (4) 8S security for $20,000,000 of the loan the Govern- ment ahould hold bonds for that amount, interest being com- 112 rose's political hand-book. puted, so long as no default was made, at 4 per cent. ; but if default were made, five per cent, to be allowed, and after twelve months of default the Government to take over the property covered by the mortgage, and to administer the same for the benefit of the bondholders generally ; (5) for repayment of the rest of the loan, the Government to have a first lien on the outstanding land grant bonds and of the un- sold land, and if this be not sufScient upon the revenue of the Company after fixed charges have been paid, any addi^ tional receipts from lands to be additional security for the repayment of the 820 000,000 ; (6) the Government to make a temporary loan of $5,000,000, to be repaid on or before 1st July, 1886, with four per cent, interest, $8,000,000 of bonds to be held as security ; (7) if there is a prospect of an Amer- ican line eastward to Saulfc Ste. Marie the Government may release the Algoma branch from the lien of the Act of 1884, and may authorize the mortgaging of that lino in order to raise money. A number of amendments were moved, but only slight modifications were made in the original bill which was passed.
