The ice fetters of the inhospit- able shores of Hudson Bay have caus- ed the Joss of many valuable lives and a great deal of treasure, so that some men have thought it would be better if explorations ol these Arctic hod never been undertaken. But, since they have, it will be neces sary for us to examine this subject in a calm and deliberate manner. State ments have been made here which | claim cannot be proved; some of them ] are entirely out of the question. For instance, the honorable gentleman from Prince Albert, to whom my hon- orable friend from Halfax expected me to make a complimentary refer ence, made some statements which could not be easily sustained. He stated that this route was necessary for the city in which he. lives. How large the city is I do not know, but he says the Hudson Bay is closer to his home than Winnipeg, and that it takes more time and money to reach Winnipeg. than to reach Hudson Bay. He said also that a road to connect existing railways with the shores of Hudsor Bay wauld be about 400 miles long, of which 200 could be built as a colonization road, and that there are ten million acres of land of the most fertile chogacter, equal to the best land in the North-West, that route. The other two hundred miles he said should be undertaken by the government. The government has done a good deal, for those people in the North-West, and 1 cannot sav that they are very geverous or even patrio- tie. 1 venture to say that this hon: tleman has never taken up he 'was there during , 1 presume, to defend his try. I never heard that he was in the front rank nor the rear rank, and | presume he was one of those who remained at home. He savs there are 7,000,000 sores of land under cul- tivation in the NorthWest, ihn aver thirty to the prog That. would give 210,000,000 Bushels. Now, supposing these 210. 000,000 bushels sold for only twenty cetrts a bushel it would realize $42. 000,000, And if the people in the North-West would perform one generous act to Why Pay Duty ? 3 e tothe detriment of your ownpurse, without any improvement in quality?

I think the govemment would do that if the voles of this senate honorable gentleman from Prince Albert--and I am sorry he is hot in his place to-day-were Erastus Wiman, for example. There is along quota- tion from him. What on earth' could he know about the navigation of Hudson Bay? 1 veslure to say he could have no . reliable. informa- tion on the subject. Erastus Wiman was a telegraph or in Canada, and subsequently aime a partner with Mr. Dun, when the firm was Dun Wiman & Co. I never heard that his opinion was worth a brass button on such question as this. He maker ar assertion that the bpav and 'strait would be open for a defigite length of, time, and says that some ships that had been caught in the ice by the early closing of navigation, was due to two ican. captains who wees intoxicated, and quarrelled. He brought forward , another gentleman whom we should know, a gentleman called Arthur Dobbs. He calls Kim Sir Arthur Dodd; his name, as I un- derstand, is Arthur Debbs, I mention this name with particular interest, be- cause a gentleman has mentioved the name of the ancestor of our Mr. Le- moine. 1 believe that Mr. Dobbs is an ancestor of a prominent and learn- od honorable gentleman in this house. 1 did not get his corroboration of it, because it would be im) inent to ask it. 1 mention it her, use 1 know he has relatives of thet memw in Ire land. Dobbs was an Jeieutnan, and a man of t energy enterprise, For a oi Hime he held favor of the admiralty of England and foally got up an opposition company, which un- fortunately did not get a charter. He also urged anew the offering of the prize of £20,000 sterling to. any n who would discover the Northwest passage. He reviewed that project, or at least put it on a fim basis, and wus the means of stimulat ing a great deal of exploration. He charged the Hudson Bay people with neglect of duty. 1 have mentioned that in my opinion he was related to a prominent member of this house. I shall read a short extract from what he said of Hudson bay in order that hon. members can sce whether there is any similarity between his uiter- ances, and that of the hon. gentleman in this house. He attacked the Hud- company with such persis tency that they were put ta a great deal of expense, He said : . It wouid lead us far beyond our lim- its were we to chronicle all the rea- sons urged, and the ati ts made, to find out the short easy Par sage by the morth-west, which we hith- erto so long desired." - Under the gus- pices of the 'Ol * weally-- phongh - or nobles--up ros w ings, queens rose a a men daring and enthusiastic, whose names would add homor to any country, and embalm ite history. And then he gives a. list of the names. This shows how strong an op- ponent he was of the Hudson Bay company and how partial his words would be. Then he says : Commencing with Cabot, end inctud-| ing Henry Hudson who, in 1610, was so cruelly murdered by his mutinous men. - Thus, in the course of sixty year-- now breaking the icy fotters of the north; mow ined by them; now big with high hope "of passage,' then deg by the ific obst as it were guarding it---notwithstand- ing, these men never falieced, never ai of fimally accomplishing it. names are worthy to be held in remambrance; for, with all their rave, calm amid most dan- oo what they did In a ly, as far as their limited means went; tach added something that gave us more extended views and 5 better ac quaintance with the globe we inhabit --giving especially" large contributions Jnning . with Cabot and those after him undertook to these | Don't Condemn Yourself yearly solely because people 'won't heed pature' h aches mean Kidaey Trouble. hands and ankles, and Bain in the ie.

Lemoine, D'Th- erville, and a host of others, La Salle, Duluth, the great Verandrie, Cadillac names are well- to history. They were men who would do' honor to any country and to any cause. The hon. gentle man referred to Lemoine of Iberville. I took the trouble to go over to the library and get a history of the Hud- son Bay company, written by a pro- fessor in Manitoba named Bryce, not the gentleman who is ambassador in Washington, but Prof. George Bryce. That gentleman stated exactly the facts concerning this man Lemoine as were stated here. Some descendant of the Gaelic race in this house should rise and hurl back the indignity, cast upon him. I did what I.could to draw the hon. gentleman out, he insinuat- ed that the words uttered by the hon. gentleman from De Lanaudiere were ridiculed by him and held up to the scorn. of every one. 1 do not know whether they felt it so, but I felt it to be 50, and in order to show you that the statement was incorrect, I will just read two or three words from Mr. Bryce's report, describing the expedi- tion of Iberville to Hudson Bay. He says : In 1697 the bay again fell into the English hands, and D'Iberville was put in command of a squadron sent out for him from France, and with this he sailed for Hudson Bay. The expedition brought unending glory to France and the young commander Though one of his warships was crushed in the ice in the Hudson straits and his remaining vessels could nowhere be seen when he reached the open waters of the hay, vet he hrave ly sailed to Port Nelson, purposing to invest it in his ome ship, the Pelican Arriving at his station he observed that he was shut in on the rear by three British 'men-of-war. His condi- tion was desperate; he had not his full complement of men, and some of those on board were sick. His vessel had but fifty guns; the English vessels carried among them 124, The English vessols, the Hampshire, the Dering and the Hudson Bay, all opened fire upon him. During a hot engagement a well-aim- ed broadside® from the Pelican sank the Hampshire, with all her sails fly- ing, and everybody on board was lost; thé Huddon Bay surrendered uncondi- tionally, and the Dering sweceeded in making her escape.' After his naval duel D'Therville's missing vessels ap- peared, and the commander, landing a sufficient number of men, invested and took Port Nelson. The whole of the Hudson bay territory thus came into the possession of the French, The matter has always, however, been looked at in the light of the brilliant achievement of this scion of the. Le Moynes. 7% I mention this to show how base it was for the hon. gentleman to ridicule it, and I think taking action in this way will have a tendency to make hon. members more cautious in their statements, whether they are guoting somebody else's words, or whether they are making statements op their own responsibility. If senators were allowed to make false statements, it would be the greatest blow this cham- ber could receive. This is only a pre- face to what I intended to bring be- fore the house in this debate; pertin- ent to it is the question of transpor- tation. It is for transportation only that hon. gentlemen intend to urge the opening up of this port. I live in one of the oldest cities in Canada, and one of the most beautifp], and that city was in the past the entrepot for the trade which came from Quebec, Montreal and the west, previous to the construction and enlargement of the St. Lawrence canals. It did a very large trade, but when the railways were built, and the St. Lawrence ean- als were construct, the glory of Kingston, to a great extent, dgparted.
