l money that is spent in keeping up this trade and carrying out the terms of union, is not entirely to the advantage of Prince ,Edward Island, but is an advantage to all ‘ the other provinces as well. i Now, I have gone over the first three I years of confederation, from 1873 to 1876, ; to show that no effort, practically, was imade to carry out the terms of union. In 2 1876 the Northern Light w_-s purchased and iput upon the route. But. she was not de-

isigued for that service, and consequently , she became a complete failure. So great i was the failure that she was unable toper- ! form the service at all for about seventy ; days each year during the whole time she iwas on the service. In 1881, I think it was she was icebound for so long a period that 1 the crew and passengers despaired of reaching land. Among the passengers were Q several women and children, and the pro- , visions running short on board, they un- , dert-ook to walk from the vessel, n distance got several miles, to land. Night overtook them, and they were subjected to so much icold and exposure that one of the party Q lost his health and shortly afterwards died. Another of the party was crippled for life. § Now, will t.he___,Hon. member for South Lan- ark (Mr Hsggart) say that this was con- , tinuous and efficient communication with ; the mainland? In 1834 a party of twenty- 'two men undertook to cross by the old i method in an open boat, a. method that f was in vogue fifty or sixty years before ,the Island joined the confederation. ' The movements of the Northern Light i were so uncertain that they preferred to ~ cross that way to depending upon the steamer. A snowstorm came on, night overtook them on the ice, and they were iout for two days and one night. Every member of the party suffered from the exposure, and several of them had to undergo amputation of their limbs. Now will the hon member for South Lanark say that this was carrying out the terms , of confederation? Was this placing us in l communication with the Intercolonial 1 Railway and with the railway system of

the Dominion?

Hon. Mr. Haggart, the Minister of Mar- ine and Fisheries said in this House that

, it did.

Mr. Hughes (King`s, P. E. I.) Well I

suppose the hon. member for South Lan- ark is not responsible for what the Minis- ,ister of Marine and Fisheries may have; i said. I suppose the hon. member for South Lanark has a mind and intelligence

iiof' his own, and he knows, or ought to _know, whether that was efficient com- lmunication or not. Now. so inadequate l, was that communication by the Nortm-rn , i Light that a. committee of parliament in , ` 1833 made this report! Y l The committee of parliament further re ,- ' commtnled that, inasmuch as the evi- dence taken before them went to show f ` that the Northern Light was fast becom- ing untitfor service, another suitable stea- ' mer should be provided to take her place. ` \Vell., another suitable steamer was not ,provided for five years after that. and yet |` in face of this testimony it is said by hon- f gentlemen that the terms‘of confederation A were carried out. As the Minister of Mar~ ine and Fisheries stated this afternoon, so ‘ impressed was the government of that time with the inadequacy of this boat, ` with her uuseaworthiuess, that an order was issuedifrom the Department of Marine and Fisheries limiting the number of pas-

V L_ _ -of A

sengers that :she was allowed to take on I any one trip. Now, Sir, do you think, in

lover fromthze Island to or1B32, and no

has any idea of the hardships to which we were exposed None but the strongest and most robust men would undertake the pas-age, none but people who were com pelled by \ome grave reason would un dertake it at all They had to be strapped to the boat, so that if they fell overboard, as wasa. frequent occurrence, they could be draged up again by some of the other passengers or crew . K

Now vvhil-~ provision was made for

carrying the mail in this an' iquatcd way, no provision was made by the Govern ment for bringing passengers across even in open boats. The passengers had to pay whutever fare was demanded, and to work their own way. Then when they ‘ got to Cape '_"orn1-:utine they had to drive fotty miles, over the winter roads. in open Slcielis, to Aniltcrst before they cou‘d untl.c connection with the Intercol- , im...l Railway. It was provided in the terms of the union thatfrom the date of union, nn nfflcient and continuous steam comniuiilcntion, winter, and summer, should bc preserved between the Island and the Mainland. But, will any man who will read the history of this question say that the Dominion _ Government maintained the terms of the bargain? They did not even do as was recommend- ed by this committee in 1883. The committee recommended that P when people were obliged to cross in an open ho_.t, h~-ses should he built on each side ofthe .~f»--.'t~i, so that when passen- gers got to flu-ir destination they might have some pl.-tc to which they could go and warm themselves and change their clothing; and that there should he on each side some place where boats could he hauled up and put under over, and be in a fit condition to commence the service the next day. Although that recommendation was made in -1833 by a parliaxnentary committ "e, it was not car- ried our. There was nothing done in that respect for three years afterwards. This is what Sir Alexander`C impbell, speaking in the Senate in 1884, said:

I am surprised to heat-Strom my Hon.

friend opposite that the boat-houses have not been built. I called the attention of the Minister of Marine (Mr. McLellan) to the matter last session, and he told me that the boat-houses would bc provided. Ishall again call his. attention to that question and to theivarious suggestions that have been made.

That was in 1834. In 1386, the next

session the same gentleman said:

My hon. friend from Prince Edward

Island, who introduced this subject to

ground for complaint, I am sorry to think perhaps against myself, alth ough really. as he has almost admitterlt. I am not responsible for the non-execution of the measures which from time to ti'me,I have been authorized by the Government to promise in this House. I remember quite distinctly the undertakingwhicl1~ l gave that the boat-houses should be construct- ed one on each side of the ferry. I made that promise with the authority of the then Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and as is my constant practice, the very day tlie promise was made, I wrote to- the Minister of Marine and Fisheries-_,f>at; pursuant to what he had told wou,§"’-keep it in mind. I afterwards called attention to it, and there were reasons which wen more or less sonndt- Icau hardly say sound-which made the delay more or less excusable. It was

Forthree years after the promise had

been pointed out by the parliamentary : committee, no boat-houses had been erect-

eral years before the Island came into con- _

tempt was mane to carry out the terms of' i union in th-is respect and consequently a

of equity and justice, claim against the Dominion government for the non-fulfil- ment-of the term:-I of union. There is no-gl question that the people of the Isl-and '- suffa-reds very severely in consequence of this matter. As has been already shown in the debate, the people of Prince Edward i Island were obliged to send their agri- , cultural products to the provincial and g other markets during a short time in the ' faltli of the year when the markets were at ' their lowest.. They had no communica- tion with the mainland during the winter.. The merchants were obliged to import all the goods wanted forfive or six months, ahead in the fall and to pay interest on , there large importations. If you want to fully realize what- the Island did suffer on

account of the non-fulfilment of those i

terms you have only to turn up the records ` of traflic that have been made since the two steamcrs were put on this mute. The trade of the Island has been so great, that as the Hon. Minister of Marine and Fish- eries showed here to-night, it has gone on developing and increasing every year since an honest effort was made to cal'l'J’ 005 me terms of the union. We have still further proof that this effort has developed and increasefl our trade. ~Last year the net earn ings of the Prince; Edward Island - Railway, in consequence of the facilities that were given to trade with the other Provinces of the Dominion of Canada dur- ing the winter seiscn,were $7,000 and over greater than in any other period of the' his-tory of this railway, and this year, in consequence ofithe two t-teamers being put- on the route and greater facilities bc- ing supplied, the _net earnings of the rail- -

*way willhe between $l5,».0`.l and $i’.J,(lI)3 p greater than the year bet'-.vt-e. The net

earnings of the Prince Edivard island

Railwnyévill, if they go increasing astncy have been increasing during these last two years and as they are likely to

o that in that respect alone the Domi- nion of Canada will lose nothing by the transaction. That shows clcnrly that hen the Dominion government provides ucillties for the trade and commerce of

the country between different provinces and between Canada and other countries, it is pursuing a. good policy, n paying policy, and a. policy that will always give an adequate return directly and indirectly to the people of the country. If the earnings of the Prince Edward Island` Railway were $7,000greatcr last year than in any pre- vious year, and if this year they will a mount to $15,000 or $20,000 more than they were last year, it will give Hon. gentle- men an idea of the loss that the province sustained during the sixteen or eighteen years when these facilities, which were stipulated for in the terms of union, were withheld. I am sorry to think that there Trnuld be any r-‘ec'ional difference in this m..tter. I trust that the Hou. member for Lanarkttfr. Hagztrt) does not voice the opinion of'many Hon. members from Ou- tario on the other side of the House. I hipfe and ti-u~t tint this resolution will pass the ll-,-use hya. very large majority. I belit-ve that the Government of this country is to be congratulated upon having sctxleti this' question fairly and eqllilably, an-i I it lievc that Parliament will ratify tn t'. settlement., and that Hon. members fr im Ontario. from thc west aid from the Maritime provinces will admit that it is a fair and reasonable ar- rangement. Perhaps it may he thought by some Hon. gentlemen that this is a new question, that it has only then brought up now or since the present government camo into power, but such is not the case at all. From the year 1881, right along to the present time the government of Prince Edward Island have memoralized and petitioned, time after time and year after

question. Wearying and despairing al- most of getting any redress of their griev-~ ance, as it was pointed out this afternoon they carried the matter to the foot of the Throne and so impressed thc justice of their claim upon the Colonial Secretary Lord Granville, that although he stated that the Imperial government has had no authority to interfere in the matter he suggested that the Dominion government should undertake the buil- ding of tunnel beneath the Straits of Northumberland: at an expenditure of $7,000,000 or $8,000,000 in order to over- come the difficuilty of carrying out their agreement in thm respect. The people and the_Governrnents of Prince Edward Island never allowed this matter t0 rest, although the government that had been in power from l878right along for many years did nothing more than make a bare acknowledgementof the memorials and petitions that were sent to them. But the people of Prince Edward Island hoped for the time when a government would be in pewerin Canada thahwould dothem justice in this matter, when a Government would bc in power to which they might appealed with confidence. Well, they have appeal and they have brought: this matter _before the present Government. and I am proud and glad to be able to say that the appeal has not been in vain. - I believe that the Government has considered the matter fairly, reasonably and equitably. It may be, as my Hon. friend (Mr. Lcfurgey) stated, that the amount- is not suliiciently large, but I believe that the Government have taken a fair and reasonable view of the mntteiand that they did what they believed to be fair in- the interest not only of Prince Edward Island, but in the interest. of the people of Canada as a whole. I believe that this Parliament endorsed by the people of the Dominion will ratify this agreement. I_ hope and trust that when the vote is taken a. large majority of the members of the .House will Support the proposal; indeed I hope that the House will be unaminous in its
