 Ian. I iiiid water Btretobes, which if carried

 In Kuinuier i.uly a slight improvement on the

 water on the brain so marked as to prevent 
 thuiii' ill authority from aeeing and compr*- 
 beudiiig llic requirements and possibilities uf 
 the great country with which they were, by 
 accident, called upon to deal. For five long 
 years the Qrit party straggled with this am- 
 phibious creature, spending twelve millions 
 and creating obllgatlans fbr millions more, 
 and leaving absolutely nothing bnt two 
 widely separated piece* of road andar con- 
 tract, a hole djg at the coat of handredi of 
 thonsands of dollars at Fort l^rancis, a slab 
 and sawdust hotel at Neebing, for which, with 
 the 8tump and brnsh surrouudinga, ever 
 ■eveuty thousand dollars were paid Into the 
 pockets of active members of the "party of 
 parity ; " these, with pile* of nuty rails iMsat- 
 tered over the coaatry, was the rMolt of fire

 twnlve milliona|)ald, and millloni more of

 The Liberal-Consarvatlve party from the 
 very outset grasped tha situation and realised 
 the political, commercial aod.national impor- 
 tance of baring unbroken oonneotlon 
 throagboat all onr 'errltory. Against In- 
 fluences of every nature th^ Llberal-Oonaer- 
 vative party, led and enooaraged and soi- 
 talned by the Bight Hon. Sir John Haodonald, 
 fought ita way; working with one hand 
 whilst the other grasped Ute twoctt, happily 
 accomplished their purpose. The anormona 
 piles of speeches and resolations, la and oat, 
 of PvlUunent, by Edward Blake and hla 
 party, canialn a sad and melancholy reminder 
 of party prejadlce and energy mitdiieoted. 
 Most pitiable perhaps of all was tbaoomblnad 
 action of Blake and Hackenaie In the MMlon 
 of 1880, when they divided their labour of 
 paity hatred : Blake spending two days, Ifith 
 and Ifith uf April, in attempting to show 
 that nobody wuald go Into the cnuutry ; that 
 the Uerman Hettled In the Caite<t Stales, and 
 Ibat tliu IriHhmau, hostile to Britain, avoid- 
 ed II I'uuntry under her Sag, w if by chance

 company In 1881 was for thn ccnitruotlon 
 within ten years of about 2,000 mile* for a 
 sabeidy of $25,000,000 in cash and twenty- 
 five mllliens of acres of land. By a subse- 
 quent arrangement a part of the land was ex- 
 changed for 910,000,000 In oash and the roed 
 has been completed in five years, whilst the 
 company has expended in the period named 
 on the main line and ii< branches 9105,000,- 
 
 000 eiclueive of their fapenditare on the On- 
 tario A Quebec, tae Atlantic * Northwest, 
 the Manitoba k Southweatern and any other 
 lines built and acquired under separata 
 charters. 
 
 The expenditures of other companies In the 
 Independent branches and lines which are the 
 outoouii! of the construction of the main line 
 haa also been enormous. During the period 
 in which the Canat^lan Pacific was under con- 
 struction the company paid for labor $36,000, 
 000, and their contractors In the same period 
 $'iS,000,000, making a total of 9a(),000,00C. 
 ToCanatiiitn merehantsand mauufaitiirers for 
 malurialH and supplies there has been |>ald by 
 the ^oiu|>any and wmraetora $31,000,000. To 
 the Domioion and Ptovinoial Oovernments 
 there haa iNjen paid In dutiee and dues 
 $1,. '•00,000 by the company These oon- 
 stltiitu some of the more Important Items of 
 expenditure In this country lo construct a 
 road which will give continuously an enoi- 
 mous expenditure for mainleuaaue and mau- 
 agement. 
 
 MM aMru>Tiu. 
 
 During the year 1886 the company bad a 
 force of men and officers employed with an 
 avbijire monthly (lay roll of $600,000 In 
 Heplumber the number was about 22,000 men, 
 
 01 whom 14,000 were pernutnent and 8,000 
 construction men. In addition to pay roll 
 there will be In the next five years an iistlm- 
 aleri average expenditure for supplies of 
 $3,000,000 per annum And what is most 
 gratifying of all Is th«l our own mechanics and 
 hcti les can, and lio now, supply within a

 Befgrring to some of the foregoing figure* 
 It will be seen that the sam ot $66,000,000 
 has been expended in Canada by the Canadian 
 Pacific Bailway company, for labor and sup- 
 plies on tae lines embraced in their original 
 contract, over $17 for each peraon in the 
 Dominion, and if there is added to that the 
 expenditure oi the Ontario A Quebec, the 
 Atlantic 4 Korthrresl, the Manitoba A Bouth- 
 weatern, the Manitoba k Northwestern, 
 Chtlt's NorChwest Goal line and several others, 
 all of which are the outgrowth of the 
 Canadian Pacific, the expenditure will reach 
 more than $20 per head of the entire p')i>ula- 
 tlon. 
 
 TBI imcT. 
 
 And then consider the enormous numbers 
 required to maintain and operate all these 
 .oada; from 20,000 to 25,000 men at least 
 will find steady employment on the lines, lu 
 the workshop and the mines. An army 
 greater than nany thai have decided the fate 
 of empires, but an army with no hostile in- 
 tent, skilled only in art<i that make peace, 
 procFess and development of country. That 
 great army of workmen represents more than 
 the average number of families In liie other 
 industries, because the nature of the work 
 oalla for all able bodied men, and it may 
 falr'y be assumed that the men who find per- 
 manent employment on all these lines 
 will represent a population of one 
 hundred thousand! maintained by them, 
 dependent upon the Canadian &rmer for their 
 daily food. For bread, butter, beef, cheese, 
 p^rk, mutton, vegetables and other agricul- 
 tural produce, forty dollars per head for the 
 year is a very low estimate, and yet, low as It 
 is, it aggregates a nuu'ket of 90rfour million 
 dollars a year for the Canadian farmer ; equal 
 to about one tenth of the whole export ot 
 agricultural produce of the Domlninn. Orit 
 pollticlaus strivo to have the fairmer believe 
 tliat be had no market worth seeking other 
 than the foreign. Forty millions will cover 
 the average export of agricultural and animal 
 produce from the Dominion, wbilat the home 
 consumption reaches three hundred millions 
 a year. One hundred thousand added to the 
 farmers' home ctutomera for food is an enor- 
 mous advantage to him. In addition lo this, 
 every train of passengers that passes to and 
 from the far west is fed by Canadians, where- 
 as previously they passed through the United 
 State* and paid tribntj to the American fai - 
 mer. 
 
 •xAao scocaaa. 
 
 No man nor party ever brought its plans 
 and policy to grander snooess than has Sir 
 John and the Liberal-Conservative party. 
 T*<e aim was to unite all the provlnreu of 
 this Dominion by unbroken rail, and form 
 the bonds which grow from intercourse ami 
 commercial exchange to construct a trunk 
 line Irom which there would be an outgrowth 
 of braiohes and snbsldlaiy lines. To opeu 
 up tor settlement the great NorthweHl, 
 to quicken the wheels ,>f Indiialry 
 in the older provinces in supplying th« mar- 
 kets ol the newer, and to gladden the heart 
 uf the Ikrmor by giviug him more customers. 
 This baa been done, and when the laal link 
 abortening the distance to llalllax and St. 
 John la eompletiHl, as It will be this autumn, 
 anil when fiwt lines uf steamers shall ciiniieit 
 us on one aide with Kurope and on the other
