Mr. WILMOT said to entirely relieve from all imposition of dutics thoss who had realised more capital than had been realised by any other braach ot industry in the Maiâ€" tim« Provinces, in order to put those duties upon ether clasess was a policy to which he was not prepared to sabmit, _ Mon, Mr.MIPCHELLâ€"Should we tax every article that enters into the construction of vis<«l4s, as well as refase to give bountics ? ent.tprise of the people. Shipbuilding had always been encouraged in past times, and the Do:ninion Government now ew it by allowing the principal articles used in shipâ€" building to come in duty free. This is an advantage they do not have in other countries, an ! nothing more should‘ be asked for that bra 1ch of Ind\ufi":’lr“ country. lion, Mr. WIL said that shipbuilding bei :g in a depressed condition in Quebec,was no exceptional case, for precisely the same at»‘~ of things existed in Ireland and on the T\ am6s, where a great number of ships which co«t twenty pounds sterling a ton, have been of. red fur twelve pounds, which was less than the cost of construction. He hoped bounties wo ild not be given to bolster up the shi buiiding interests of Quebec, as he !houglg; there was vory little profit to be made from shi pbuilding in"British North America, Shipâ€" boi‘ding in 8t, John had never prospered unâ€" til they had adopted the principie which was car ied out in Nova Scotia, of having every in~« from the captain down to the cook iu. te: «ted in the succers of the vessel4 in that w» â€" shipbuilding had been built up, and moâ€" nc. made out of it. Getting their ships reâ€" lion. Mr. #EESOR thoucht that from the fact that the schools of the Dominion were entirely ander the control of the Local Gov. ernments, those localities which were interestâ€" ed in having naval schools, should encourage them. . If there were no schools in Quebec or any other of the ports of that Province, where young men could be educated to take comâ€" mand of a ship, it was time they made some change in their common and grammar school education. The system adopted in Nova Scotia had worked admirably, and the same system prevailed from the State of Maine to Ithode Island, llon* the coast, and such a system should prevail in Quebec. He did not believe it was right to give bounties to encourâ€" age shipbuilding in a time of depression. Wiat would be thought of the farmers if they had asked for bounties upon wheat, horses an: sheep, because there was a lailure in the crops to some extent, or because prices were very low in Kurope ? If these bounties were given, the Government would soon have nething to pay with, and besides this the sysâ€" tem would have a tendency to destroy the Hon. Mr. RYAN would say one word in regard to some statements which, if not cor= rected, might produce a false impression in rexard to the ship.owning interests of Quebec being in a depreased condition. He believed the nhipbuilJ;:g interests were in a far from prosperous conditioa, owin“ to the building | of ag many wooden ships all orer the world ; vut «hip owners were carrying on & profitable business, and accumulating money. One great cause of this depression in shipbuilding, which had beer overlooked by his hon. triend (Mr. Tessier), was the unwillingness of the working people to submit to less wages when the state of trade is depressed. «There had been a strike among the laborers emâ€" ployed in shipbnilding at Quebec causing the shipyards, in many‘ instances, to be closâ€" ed. _ While they talk of schools for the educaâ€" torn of the army and navy, they should educate the working classes, and show them those combinations are an injury to themâ€" selves and a destruction to trade. * We have been told that farmers, lawyers, and arti~â€" sans of évery description were owners of ships in Nova Scotia; and that the Captains geâ€" nerally, had & share in the vessels they comâ€" manded. He thought it was an admirable sy»tem and was carried out to some extent in Quebec, but he would like to see the ¢ustom more _ extensively . adopted. He ‘might . mention that: the greater part _of those ""mm called the Allan line, was in Montreal. The Minister of Marine had expresged his willingness to lay all the papers before the House which would give them all the informâ€" ution they required, at the same time he did not see how he could give bounties to one class of ships built in a particular way, and not give them to all. He (Mr. Ryan) agteed with the views expressed by the Minister of Matine, and he thought it would not be wise for thein to give a preference to a particular cla«s of vessels, as that matter should be left to the choice of the shipbuilders themselves. Hon. Mr. MITCHELL asked whether the shipping interest laboredâ€"under any disadâ€" vantage whichcould now beremedied by any action of the Legislature? Hon, Mr. BENSON said it labored under many disadvantages which might be removed, not a>) much by any legislation now, as when the Reciprocity Treaty came up. 3 S.ates, its provisions miglht be profitally eatended on both sides, ard in that cars he hoped the Government would not loose sight ot the shipping interest which was of so great importance to Canada. H lion, Mr. BENSON said with regard to the number of men leaving Quebec for want ol employment, a great many of them might h ie found profitable employment in Ontario in that branch of business, us they haa «lways flound a difficulty in getting a sufficient uimber of men, 'i'ho shipping trade had not reccived that attention which it should have received, and it labored under a great disadâ€" vianlage. _ In the event of a new llecigrocny Treaty Lbeing negotiated: with the United (Continued.)

Mr. REESOR said this money: was paid for carrying the mails,which wasan espe» cial service. 3 Hon, Mr. TESSIER ra‘d the sâ€"tvice cou‘d Le done without giving such an amount, as they could send their mails through the Bri tish Packet Line, yet he thought this annual grant was rightly given by the Goveramen, and it was for the interests of the country that it should continued so long as necessary. He had not made an especial motion in rcâ€" gard to thesubject before the House, as his object was only to call the attention of the Government to the depressed state of shipâ€" building in the Dominion, and to the large emigration to the United States which was taking place, and ho would leave the subject in the hands of the genilemen on the Treaâ€" sury benches, whom he thought compâ€"tent to deal with the matter, In conclusion he reâ€" ferred to what had been said in regard to the prosperous state of shipping in Nove Scotia, which he said was prospering under Confedeâ€" ration. Hon. Mr. LOCKE :a‘d it was prospering in apite of Confedcration. _ Hon, Mr, ‘TESS1ER said he did notask that this system of giving bounties should be perâ€" menent, or that it should be limited to Quebec, He had not expressed any opinion in regard to the principle of giving bountics. Je admitted it was wrong, exceptit was done to give enconâ€" ragement to a new branch of trade. The building of composite ships would require expensive machinery, and thel{ would have to get skilâ€" ful workmen from Europe in order to intro. duce that kind of shipbuilding. It was in order to remunerate‘the first man who skhould introduce this. system, by which all men in the end would profit, that these bounties were acked. His: ll:on. friend (Mr. Price) had stated the matter very clearly when he said " Let the Domirfton ot Canada grant four dolâ€" lars per ton for the first ten composite ships: built in the M‘“d&!fld&,fl&l‘her in 8t. John, Quebec or anywhere clse, and let no | other ‘bounties be given." His . hon, friend, (Mr. Reesor) had said why not a¢ well give bounties on wheat? ‘The old Government: ot Canada bad always given an annual grani of £50,000, for the encouragement of agriculâ€" ture, as prizes to the producers of the best wheat, cheese, &¢., and the £25,000 given to the steamers plying between Montreal and | Liverpool was a bounty whicis was also very | favorable to the trade of the country, and it | was> given upon the «ame principle as the | bounties now asked for. L the United States, the privileges which wo desire from them, without stipulating for any reciprocity on their part. ‘This increased the difficulty in nogotiating a treaty for reciproâ€" city, Me thought it was better‘t» bave no reclprocity at all than not to have included in it the privilege of the coasting trade, and the registration of cclonial ships in the Unitel States market. British Government had already con dOoTsE OF COMMONs Ottawa, Canada ded to P d Hon. Mr. DORION represented that the effect of the passing of the amendment would be to assute the representatives of Nova Scotia that the House were not inclined to give even ordinary consideration to the complaints of Hon, Mr. JOHNSON opposed the motion and attacked Mr. HOWE. "\â€"3ir. MORRIS, trusting that Kova Scotia would yet consent to give the Confederation the fair trial to which it was entitled, moved in amendment, "that the House do not now go into Committee on the said resolution, but that it be resolved that in the opinion ot this House the intsrests as well of the British empire as of the Dominion and the several Provinces of which it 1s composed, would be best promoted by the maintenance and con. solidation of the existing Union, and that this House confidently trusts that a due attention to the requirements of the people of the whole Dominion, and a wise and judicious course of legislation, will result in a general acceptation ot the Union, by all the inbabitants of the Dominion, as will conduce to the w ell bein and adn‘r‘soement of the whole commnnity.",l ty C weame is 00 t t 1 " a scheme from the impossibility of finding any Nova Swotians of ability or influence to eudorse their policy,. ‘The measures of the present Session had been such as to plunge the country into liabilities that would be found overwhelming. At the date of Conâ€" federation the Union started with a debt equal to that of the whole United States at the close of the first six months of the war. Since then the administration had inrugurated schem»s of expenditure so reckless as to compel the resort to measures of taxation herctofore unâ€" known, which wery to be applied to drain the lifeblood from the commercial vitality of the country. ‘They had been told that time would cure all the evils of which they complained. Time had as yet only shown them the admitâ€" ted mistates of one tariff attempted to be remedied by the more oppressive impositions of another, It had been said also that Nova Bcotia would have‘ been compelled, in any case, to increase her public debt, but even it this was so, she would ha so wi e management of this debt §# % and with here to deal with it, And it : said in addition that Nova Scotia got more money out of the confederacy than she paid into it. In this case, he would only ask what advantage her reluctant and compulsory adbesioun could be held to bring to Canada? ‘lhe fact -n? however, that the question was not one of mere comâ€" mercial advantagesâ€"â€"it was one of human libertics and of political freedomâ€"it was the question of a choice between the right and the wrong.‘‘ And, though he said so, not by way of m threat, but by way of warniog informaâ€" tion, it was not impossible that, if the petition of the Legislature were to be rejected and reâ€" turned unheeded, some portion of the populaâ€" tion might be unwise enough to take up armsto resist the enforcement of Canadian legislation. And of such an outbreak, what resu‘t would we have to look for. Rioters sympathised with by the people and restrained. by the authorities, blood flowing ou both sides, rcores of lives wasted when the whole system for which they were to be sacrificedwas not worth one, _A community of 350,000 descendants of the intermingling races of the United Kingdom coerced by the high hand of an armed soldiery would win the assisting lynr.lhleo of na mere bands of marauding rabble, but of the tens of thousands of young Xova Scotian emigrants, who had carried their courage and their enterprise across the Bay of Fondy, but: who had not forgotten the native shores which they had left behind. ‘These were possible consequences which demanded a fair and patient consideration, and such a consideration ‘ of. such solemn responsibiliti=s he invited the ‘ House to accord. ol BQ nslc s oi h hoi 20 s on ioi | ber, 1867, at which the approval or disapprorâ€" al of the Confederation Act was a test quesâ€" tiov, from a memorial to the Imperial Parliaâ€" meont, signed by fiftyâ€"two ot the fiftyâ€"seven elected reprementatives of that Province, and from an @ddress to the Crown unanimously pasee? by the Local House of Assembly at Halifax, praying that the Province should be j restored to the political statug.enjoyed beiore the Act referred to was passed, and also from ' the more recent action ‘of the Local Governâ€" | ment in sending delegates to England to urge | the prayer of that petition upon the Governâ€" lment and Legislature of Great Britain, that | Novs Scotia still avows her nostility to that | Act, and bercarnest desire to be freed from ‘ its operation, * | «_ 5. That no form of Government can be sucâ€" | cexsful that does not command the confidence | and approval of the people snbject to its conâ€" | trol, and to compel Nova Scotia to remain in | n political connection thrust upon her withâ€" | out her consent, against which she now proâ€" | tests, and from which the vast majority of her | peopls have asserted their determination to be | frse, wonld aggravate the discontent and po. litical distractions now notoriously existing in that Proviace, would be detrimentil to the | best int rests of the whule country, and might | even imperii the perce of the. Domlnlofi\ f || Sir, MACDONALD said he did not anticiâ€" | pate any longthy debate to ensue. His main object was to plaze upon the journals of the Houseâ€"such a record, as they had been stated not to contain a record of the dissatisfaction of his Province, whorse representatives were there merely in obedience to the law, with the Confederation which had been forced upon them. The case of Nova Scotia toâ€"day might be that of Canada toâ€"morrow, and the authority which had legislated awry the Constitution of the Province in 1867, might with equal facility legislate away the Constitution of the Domin. ion in 1$69. Confederation had been resorted to in Canada as a means of escane from the sectional jenlousies which had rendsred it l impossible for them to brimg the best talent | of the country into the Government, and even | brought legislation to a deadlock, but in seekâ€" ’ ing for a remedy they had increased the disâ€" cordant clemen(s by bringing in two‘other | Provinces, thus making tour sectional interests instead ot two. There could be no doubt reâ€" glrdiug the ’un&'njmit._y of public opinion in sarding the unapimity of public opinion in g‘ovn Bcotia. ‘The Dominion Government having set out by a determination to regard local interests and claims so far as to repreâ€" sent cach of them proportionately in the Cabinet, had ‘been compelied to abandon such 3. That the passing of the British Noith Amcrica Act by the Parliament of Great Briâ€" tain, without the conuen& of the prople of Nova Scotia, was a departdre from those prinâ€" ciples by which the authority of the Mother Country over these Colonies bas . been regula. ted for the past twentyâ€"five years, unwiss in itself, an unsafo. precedent, aad not justified by any existing e!reumsfances in the Jocal affairs of that Province. 4. That it now appears from the result of the elections held on the 18th day of Septemâ€" 2. That it appears from a pctition to the Buitish Parliament, signed by nearly forty thousand inhabitants of Nova#Scotia, praying that the Act of Confederation should not be passed, until the people might have an opporâ€" tunity to express their opinion at the polls, and also from the reports of numerous public weitings trausmitted to the Culonial Office, that the majority of the . people of that Proâ€" vinee were upposed to the passing of that Act, by which their relations with the British ?lt vernment were t; 6 changed, the autonom of the Province destroyed, and the privilege long enjoyed of regulating thsir own comâ€" mercial affairs and collecting and disbursing their own revenues taken away. 1.

His own attitude on the subject of Confederation was no secret, and he had no desire to make it so. When Confederation was debated in his own Legislature, he liad contended from first to last that it was a quesâ€" tion upon which the rense of the people should be taken. ‘That opinion he had no reason to alter, and he believed that it was ofe in which the majority of the public men of the country would coincide, But all sitch questions must be looked at in u national as well as local light, and the time for a broader consideration has arrived, when the rupremo authority of the Imperial Government ned legally perfectâ€". o4 an enactment in the intercets ol theempire which it was now sought to supersede or set: aside.

He referred to the presenceâ€"of Xova Kcotia representatives in the House as their unvolâ€" untary protest aguinst the admission that they were to be compelled to give n slavish submis. sion to the dictates of their coustituents, and went on to commend the recent tariff modiGâ€" cations as the best evidence of the desire of the Government to conciliate ths people of | his Proviac:.

Imperial withheld consent, which nied their l‘y-pdnlu. It would be seen far he still maintained*the principles of â€" mer speeches. He went on to argue the statements so often advanced upon the other side that Nova Scotia had received a greater amount thar she had paid since Conâ€" federation, argaing that she had been only made toappear in such a light from the unâ€" necessary augmentation of salaries and creaâ€" tion of office with which she had unwillingly been burthened. _ He belioved that it the moâ€" tion were to be voted down, it would be found to contain a principle of rstribution to rise np!nnt them ut some tuture day . *.\ir GEU, E. CARTIER resamed his arguâ€" ment againsi the motion of Mr. E. 4. MACâ€" DONALD, repeating that this House could not be expected to agree to the proposition, that the people of Nova Scutia had given no conâ€" sent to the Union, which had been based mpon the actiou of their own legitimate mouthpicce, the Legislature of the Province, which it was contrary to the principles ot the British conâ€" stitution to ignore in favor of appeals, which no Ministerial crisis had rendered necessary, to the judgment cf the constituencies. To lay down the ruie that Parliament should thus abrogate its fuuctions upon each ozcasion of ‘unusual moment would be to assume as governing principles theories peculiar to pure democracy. ‘The proposition of the hon, memâ€" ber for Chateaug:1ay scemed to assert that the 1mperial â€"Government . had dealt diffeâ€" rently with the @#everal Maritime Proâ€" vinces, and evinced a consideration for Newâ€" foundland and Prince Edward‘s Island which had been denied to Nova Scotin. Such had not been the case. Lach Province had been dealt with, and this principle was specially laid down in the Union act, in accordance with the expressed desires® of their several Legislatures. _ This question, bowever, was not one coming fitly under discussion bere. If it could be contended that this House had : inflicted injurious legislation upon Nova K:0â€" | tis, they might properly be called upon to ' consider the consequent complaints, but they could not be held responsible for the actionâ€"of | the Imperial Government, into which they could bring no enquiry capable of carrying l redress. 4.

Mr. HOLTON thought that 1t was the daty of the House, in their~ desize to inake Confederation generally acceptable, to show a fair regard for the expression of Nova Scotian opinion upon a point so serious as the manner in which they hnad been legislated into the Union, to which, unlike their countrymen of Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island, their corsent had never been invited.
