Smith PF.‘ 1 FENELON FALLS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, FEB. 5TH, 1897. play of confidence calls for an occasional public speech in explanation of his pub. lic acts. Many important public mat- ters do not become the subjects of con- tr0versy between the contending factions in Parliament, and the public hardly hears enough about them to know what their interests are in these matters. Our Provincial legislature fills a large book of laws each yearâ€"far too much, he often thinksâ€" but people should en- deavor to keep themselves posted in all questions. The interests of this county are his special charge, but since under- taking thc greater responsibility of a cabinet minister he has found that Our county interests are identical with those of the whole country. The Province of Ontario will at some future day be the home of a large pop- ulationâ€"many millions. We have n glorious heritage, both in extent and resourscs. If one were to step on one of the fastest express trains at Montreal and start at its greatest speed for the north-west boundary of the Province of Ontario. he would continue for three. whole days and two nights before reach- ing his destination. Just think of it! And in all this vast territory there is not one foot of ground or rocky mount beneath which there does not exist im- mense agricultural or mineral wealth. There is treasure hidden away every- where, and it is but very recently that we have commenced to learn its extent and value. Undoubtedly agriculture, mining and forestry are to be our great pursuits for the future, and a properly representative Government must devote great energy to the developemcnt of these interests, but there are many other things of perhaps minor importance to which the attention of the legislature is constantly caled, and these to some extent he will try to deal with in this address. He does not wish to be looked upon as representing agriculture alone. Every interest in this Province and Do- minion has the highest interest for him. To help the weak is one of the high- est functions of Parliament. The man who toils for his living often has to wreck his health working under unsani- tary conditions. We have good factory laws, but still every day cases turn up to which they do not apply. For in- stance, take the departmental stores of Toronto. They have restaurants in connection, but their employees are not allowod to lunch in them lest the swell customers of the establishment be horri- find by the presence of saleswomen and men eating in the same quarter. As a consequence hundreds of those girls, who work for the very smallest pay, are daily turned out from these stores to obtain food under all sorts of objectiOn- able conditions, while the aristocratic customers are rendered comfortable by every attention at the lowest figure pos- sible. This is a subject calling for legislation. Last winter a deputation of bakers waited upon him, as head of the department which controls the labor bureau, and explained to him the abom- inable conditions under which they wrought, and under which the bread supply of a great city was being produc- ed. Thc work was being done in poor- ly lighted and poorly ventilated base- ments, which were badly drained. In some cases there was so much water and mud in these basements that thick planks had to be laid down for the hands to walk upon. Rats infested the places and often tumbled from the sleep- ers above on the dough. The men were not even provided with towels to wipe their sweaty faces, and the drops of perspiration fell into the dough. Under such conditions they worked from ten to eighteen hours a day, according as the heartlessness of their employer led him to be more or less exacting, for if cue man would not suffer the miserable N0. 51. useless bills‘and combine the good ones in ageneral measure which goes open the statute book. The most important change of recent years is the County Councils Act of last session. This cuts down the number of county councillors. and thus saves much expense, and prob- ably time; whilst at the same time re- serving to the county council all the powers it formerly exercised. Some who sought for this change favored a council composed of one member from each municipality, but allowing each the number of votes his municipality had under the old arrangement. He (Dryden) had not been able to see how one man's judgment from one part of the county could prove as good or as useful as that of two, three, or even four from other parts of the county. Mr. Hardy in introducing the bill had in mind two objects: (I) lessening the number of members; (2) separating the minor councils from the county council. Giving a member a wider dis-- trict to represent enables him to broaden his ideas. Another law of importance passed last session was that to protect the pub- lic against fraud in the selling of fruit. A heavy penalty is now provided for dealers who sell a barrel, basket, box or other quantity of fruit which has worse fruit underneath than is shown on the top. Our apple market has been seriâ€" ously injured in England by the action of farmers and shippers in packing dis- honest apples. The Americans lost their choose- !!Jarket in the old country by shipping over there “ filled " cheese. For years the spraying of fruit tl‘Ct‘S has received special attention of govern- ment, and we'must give more and more attention to it. This process is useless unless done at the right time. Blights that were formerly supposed to be disâ€" eases or lightning strokes, are now known to result from the presence of insects. Much timeis spent on farmers institutes, the system having been en- tirely reorganized. The old Agricul- tural and Arts association has been dis- solved, and in its stead breeders‘, fruit- growcrs’, and dairying associations formed. We have recently learned that there is an immense tract of fertile soil in northwestern Ontario. He had visited that territory and had established :t Provincial headquarters there, which his colleagues had insisted should be called Dryden, in spite of his protests. A whole township was sold to settlers coming in last year, and several more will be taken up as soon as surveyed; Everything appears to grow as well there as in Manitoba, and besides this fall wheat does well. The land sells for 50 cents an acre, and he believes new settlers there should pay something for land the some as they did there. There is a village of eight or ten houses at Dryden, situated where there is an immense water power on a river. The government last year established a bureau of good roads. 'l‘hero is in connection with it a chief I'lla’ltnttliCl‘, whose services may be had free. any- where, provided the case can be so preâ€" sented to him that his services are to be of advantage. Mr. Dryden here gave a most laughable recital of the means at present adopted to improve roads, exposing all the inconsistencies o!’ the constant changes ofovcrsccrs and ideas. In five or six years he believes everv road in the Province will give material evidence of the advantages of this new road-making department. The hon. gentleman wound up with a funny story about a parrot, which had been left at home alone with a sour. sleepy old dog. The parrot sat on his perch and shouted " Sick him ! " several times, but the dog slept on. The bird became angry at. being thus ignored, .. ....;e-au’m:.. w. . - .__.~.,.,,.... A. .. < ,..., .. . ..... I pzllu.
