I understand the special characteris- tie of your club and its members to be, T love for Canada; and you desire as I do that our Canada shall exist as Canada for a nation's life time, and therefore for many generations. and shall so ex- ist in some form as a political organ- ‘ism You desire as I do that our Can- ada shall be a prosperous country, and you want it to be some day a. great »country, as well as a prosperous one. " You are satisfied as I am that Canada "s big enough, and has undeveloped re- sources:enough, to become a great country, and that it has a climate and other characteristics fitted to develop and maintain a great people. We have these aspirations and opinions in -common. and I hope that all here shall have them always. However kindly we may think, or some of us may think l of the United States, I suppose that I may assume that, with your Canadian sentiment, you do not, as a club or oth. erwise, want annexation to that coun- try. You and I do no not want to blot ~out forever the name of our Canada from the map of the world. (Hear, hear, and loud applause). We all want perpetual friendship between Canada and the United States, and between The empire of which Canada. is part and the United States. We all want, also, to have as much commercial and other intercourse with our neighbors as we can have consistently with our res- pective and varying notions of nation- al interest and duty. We have natives of that country living amongst us who are such good citizens and such good friends that we Want no better. We personally know others resident in the United States whom we like so well that wefshouid wish to make them Can. adians if we only could. We know by other means that there are multitudes of others, natives of the great Republic and residing there, who are so good and excellent in every way, and so friendly, . that if the whole population were like them we could hardly keep separate from one another, however much we should try. But notwithstanding all this, we do not want to give our coun- try to another natior1-(loud applause) _ nation too that may be at any time , in a condition of active hostility to the fatherland. We do not want to leave teeny other nation, friendly or un- friendly, the development of our coun- ; try under the flag of that nation, in, stead of its being developed under our l own institutions and our own fur,. We , do not wish our country-half a eonti, ( nent-to be swallowed up in any other , country, however great the population i of that other country may be, and how- . raver rich, and whatever good We may ', Fthink of any of them. While you and t I do not favor annexation, I suppose ( that on the other hand I may assume l that you do.favor British connection as i the best thing for us, for at all events the present. Whatever our varying tt views may be (so far as we have any L. views) as to the more or less distant N future of Canada, I believe that you a are all glad, as I am, that Canada is 1 still part of the great Empire. (Ap- i please.) You are glad, as I am, that N Canadians are stlll citizens of the Em- C Fire, and subjects of its Queen, and as! t truly such citizens and suirjvct' 2 ;..-; g“, I fathers were before they " l ' (My V», I ct the suit Atlantic. is: -' wr' [ l f, i I an), to know that all lfririxzh him-m: I You have referred to my strong Can- adian sentiments. There has been no portion of the world so dear to me from my youth up as Canada has been; there is no portion cf the world’s in- haltitants in whom I feel so great an interest as I do in those to whom Can- ada is home, whether home by birth or home by adoption; and I am glad that I have been able to devote twenty-one ~0f the best years of my Me to the ser~ vice of such a country. At the time I received the invitation to this gathering I was not up co my ordinary vigor, but I accepted, expecting to be all right by -the day named. That expectation hns not been quite realized; and I am told that I have been over-working myself in the past, and need now a. longer rest than I have yet had from care and excitement as well us from work. But the Canadian Club bad been so kind, and I had been so often before invited to its annual gatherings when other public dnties prevented my accepting, that I thought T must keep my engage- I went to be here to-day, even though there should be more or less risk con- neeted with my breaking into the rest which I was trying' to give myself. tOne thing that I cannot help saying is this/that it I were announcing the end of my political life, an event which in the case of a man in his 74th year Can- not be long deferred, there is no occas- ion on which I should like better to 1 take leave of public life than at a great gathering like this of Canadians as such --(hear, hear) -. Canadians irr'espective of party, nationality, creed or sex. bound together by the one grand tie of attachment to Canada, and met to fos- ter and promote Canadian sentiment. That sentiment binds together all here, whatever else may separate us from one another. SIR ULIVEB T0 CANADIANS. The Future of Cangda and the Pre- sent Duty ofHer Sons. The battle of Queenston Heights was recently commemorated ot the Canud. ian Clubat Hamilton utwhiuh gathering Sir Oliver Mowat was the central fig- are and delivered a stirring and patrio- tic address. He said:-- ritish rhis'tory 'We differ About politieal parties, and about party measures, and will oontur. ue to differ about them; but, whether we are Conservatives or Reformers, we all may aim to secure for Canada the best Government, Federal and local, in the world; Conservatives, it they will, to secure the best Conservative Governments, and Reformers to secure the best Reform Governments alike be good Governments, dimming only. on Lsrtsic'u:,sc-s of politicatl policy? Wlry illui‘uld not the Cunadian Club help to make them so? (Applause) You see I have no very definies word for you as to Canada‘s future, con- stitutionally or nationally. This must be developed by the events of the fu- ture. But there are perhaps things which as lovers of Canada we may be doing meanwhile, in addition to what you have. made prominent objects of the club hitherto, and have done such good work in advancing. What I mean is presenting prominently before the public mind a high ideal of a true Car1udia1r--what he may and should be what we want to beCanadian character- istics evevywherer. V The Canadian sentiment now and then shows itself in regarding favor, ably the independence of Canada-its independence as respects both the moth. lerland and the great Republic. One [ thing I should like to emphasize here, as I have done elsewhere in addressing those who want this independence for its own sake, and not as a stepping stone to annexation, namely, that it is essential for their purposes to keep in mind that the time has not come for seeking or for working for Canada's be- coming an absolutely independent na, tion in this sense. With our seat- tered population of at present tivre mil-. lions, and on our borders a somewhat aggressive and not always very friend, 'ly nation numbering (33,000,000 of peo- ple, Canada would be independent at their sueeranee only. The clear policy of those who look to an absolutely in- dependent Canada as the goal to be contemplated is to cherish for the pre- sent a sentiment for British connection just as eagerly as we all cherish a Can- adian sentiment; and so to await events. Some, again, like to look forward to a. federation of all the English speaking peoples of the world, including the peo- ples mingled with these, but got speak- ing English as their mother tongue. This idea is a grand ore-a noble in- spiration--and, _as regards our own Canada, would not involve its extinc- tion as a political entitr, but the Crea- tion of such a great federation of na- tions seems very far in the distance. I wish it were not. l Now, if there is to be a modification of the constitutional connection, and not destruction, and, what may the modification be? Imperial Federation? As a matter of sentiment many Canad- ians would like to say, Yes. The chief oi the Dominion Liberal party, a French Canadian, and a British loyalist, has said that the idea of such a federation was to him alluring. I think that Sir John Abbott, while Premier of a Cou- servative Government, said something in the Senate to the same effect; and many of their respective followers have the same feeling. Perhaps many of you present here to-night like the idea. But both of the distinguished gentle- men whom I have jnamed, as well as many others, have pointed out the dif- fieulty of devising a satisfactory scheme for the purpose; and the absence of) any satisfactory scheme has prevented l Canadians generally, of any party, i from taking kindly to the project hith- erto, how anxious they may be to re- tain British connection in some form as i may be. V is still our history; that the civilization and glories of Britain, and of the three kingdoms of which itis composed, Eng- land, Ireland and Scotland, still belong to Canadians asgoccupying part of the same great Empire. You are glad as ': I am that the patriots and statesmen of the old lands, the soldiers, the philan-l thropists, the poets, the philosophers, , the great and good men of the nation, in the generations which are past; vs, well as in the time now present-that l all these still belong to us, as truly as, we belong to any other part of the; mighty Empire of which our Canada l forms an important portion. None of!‘ you probably summer that British con. l nection onjust its present footing can l continuefor ever. Happily, no presrnt‘ practical grievance is felt under the 'er; isting kind of connection. The connec- ‘ tion we have has worked so far with. l out any friction between Canada and) the old lands. Our constitutionmhiclil recognizes the connection and provides i for the character ofit, was devised by l Canadians through their representa- l tives, and it was probably, taking it all l in all, the best that was practicable at l the time of its being devised. There has been no controversy with the par- ent land since about changes in this Constitution, and none as to what, as between the parent land and the Dom, inion, the constitution implies or in- eludes; but T think that, notwithstand- ing all this, the general notion of intel- ligent lovers of British connection as well as others is, that sooner or later something must and will be done to re- move the anomaly of unrepresented millidns being in point of law subject, in legislation and government, to the _ absolute will of the Parliament of the Fatherland across the Ocean, even I though the. legal power may not be aot- l ; ed on; or may be acted on at only at our own request. i I Mr. Michael Boos, traveller of Ram dall K: Roos.

"rye; as you all are, for the future of our Canada and ofits people. Full of that hope, and the wish that helps to cher- ish the hope, l with all my heart, as a Canadian, thank the Canadian Club for what they have done and what they are doingnto manifest and develop a Canadian sontiment throughout this glorious half of the Noxth American Continent. l The fathers of English speaking Cum ada may be said to have been U. E, Loyalists, the men who, for love of British Citizenship, left all and came to Canada when Canada was a wilderness. They were nobly courageous in facing difficulties and privations in time of peace, and they were brave as lions in time of war and in the field of battle. (Hear, hear.) The French population that day, like the French of all times and places, had like courage and like bravery. So with the men of every other nation then represented in small, er numbers among the people ofCanada. The Canadian successors of the early settlers have shown similar qualities as they have had opportunity or occasion In view of these things I am proud of Canadians all, proud of what they have done, proud of what they have Frc00m- plished, and proud of what as compared with other peoples they are; and the facts of our history having been what know, and actualities and possibilities being what they are, I am full of hope; i In most, and perhaps all, of the res- pects which I have mentioned, Cana, dians as a rule do now compure well with other peoples. The success which so many Canadians have conquered in the United States is a. good illustration of this. So the splendid results in so many departments, in competition at Chicago with every State of the Union and every nation of the world, consti- tute another illustration of the, re- sources and capabilities of our Canada and of its people. 1 We all want, to have in Canada the best universities and the best of col, logos, and the best of schools of all kinds. We want to have in Canada the best farmers, the best rnanufsctu_ ers. the best mechanics, the best hunk. urs, the best merchants, the bestjudges the best lawyers, the best doctors, the best journalists, the best engineers, the nest architects, to be found anywhere; and so in every (lepirtment of industry and intellectualacti ity. We all Want, Canadians of every class and condition to have the highest. character every where for efficiency in their work, whatever that work may be, and for probity and reliability as well us will ciency. We want Cinadians to be specially noted as being an educated, n lssv-sshiding, a temperance practising. and in all respects a. well conducted and honorable kind of people. Evers- one of us can do something directly and ind1rectly.in iniluencing others to this great end. Then we all want for Canada and its Provinces the best laws than can be devised, wimtevt‘r party has the devis- ing of them; and we warm the laws ad. ministered, by whatever party it nmy be, with unsurpassed fairness, expedi- tion and fulness, so far as such laws as we have can be so administered. than we did thén LIQUOR COMMISSION, lave been Waterloo County Chronicle, Oct. 26, 1893. is within the reach pf pveil'y PTson who learns tad!) well tho'sth'iu),'s which are nec- essary to make life a success}. .
