' , Three well-informed Conservatives. lately had a dispute as to the birth- place of Sir John Macdonald, says TL: Canadian Courier. They were yachting dawn Kingston way, and the talk turned upon the suggested me- morial to the late Conservative chief- tain to be erected at Adolphustown on Hay Bay. __ . n â€"â€"â€"_‘ ‘:-.- ‘-" â€"â€"J V Olne of the party. a Conservative journalist who knows Kingston even better than the cit}: _he 1ive§ i3. gaid: “It think you’re wrong." said the Ontario ll.P.P. “He was' born in Adolphustown. . “I believe you’re both wrong.” and the third. also a member of the AL bany Club. “But I can’t set you right. I don’t know where Sir John was born.” All three of these Conservatives had begun to be young political workers about the time Sir John Macdonall died, twenty-one years ago. They knew a great deal about Sir J ohn’s political life and- character and his place as a nation builder. They knew rafts of the stories told or said to have been told by the weirdest character that ever came 4m the stage of Canadian politics. _ I‘ -L.’_ _- wvvvv- vwâ€"w 'vvâ€" “But why not it kingston? Sir John was barn there?" They had a most vivid recollection of the dramatic events in Canadian public life centered about the chief actor. They had heard the old chief- tain speak man a time. They knew his personality tter than they knew that of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. or Premier Borden. But not one of them remem- berel. even if he ever knew. tl.e exact glace where Sir John Macdonald was rn. Merely as a matter of fact, Sir John Macdonald was born at neither King- ston nor Adolphustown. He was born in Glasgow on January 11, the year of the battle of Waterloo. His father was a manufacturer who, as a young man, moved to Glasgow from a Suth- erlandshire village in the Highlands. The boy John, third of five children, was five years old when he came with his parents to Canada. They settled first in Kingston, which was then im- portant as a military and social centre. The elder Maedonald failed to sue- ceed in business in Kingston, just as he had failed to succeed in Glasgow. The family moved first to Hay Bay, then to Stone Mills, on the Bay of Quinte. From ten to fifteen years of age the boy John was a pupil at the Kingston Grammer School, which was all the formal education he got. As he once remarked to a friend, “I had no boyhood. From the age of fifteen I began to earn my living." At the age of fifteen he began to study law as a junior clerk on a small salary in the office of George Mac- kenzie. a friend of his father’s in Kingston. At twenty-one he was call- ed to the Bar in Kingston. The fol- lowing year he became almost famous at the hands of subsequent politic“ biographers by his connection with the defence of Von Schoulz, the Polish revolutionist ‘ L10 had joined the rebels of 1837 in Canada. In 1842, at ”the age of twenty-seven Macdonald made his first visit to England, and for the first time ne- visited Scotland, the Highlands and Glasgow. Two years later two hun- dred electors presented an address asking him to become a Conservative candidate for Kingston. In his first address to a Canadian constituency. Macdonald said : -v-.. v “I therefore need scarcely state my firm belief that the prosperity of Can- ada depends upon its permanent con- nection with the Mother Country, and that I shall resist to the utmost any attempt to weaken that union.” He was elected by a huge majority as member for Kingston, which, with one short interruption, he represent- ed from 1844 till-1891.. He was the first Premier for Canada after Con- federation, of which he was at least one of the “fathers.” In 1837 his gov- ernment was succeeded in oflice by that of Alexander Mackenzie. In 1878 he reaffirmed his British connection plank and added to it the bigger one of a national policy of protection for Canadian industries â€" since endorsed and adopted by the late Liberal Gov- ernment, along with the British pref- erence. By a big majority he was re- turned to power, which he held until his death in 1891. gion (the southern part of the old district of Keew'htin) are found in the 1911 report of the Director of Forestry. published as part of the annual report of the Department of the Interior for 1911. _ _ .... .
