There was growth in population until 1891 when it reached a maximum of 109,- 078. but the population steadily de- clined until 192. the time of the lust census, and it was then only 88,617». At. lirst glance a bad show- mg; but it was due largely to the introduction of machinery on the farm. The Island had no large cities or large factories to absorb the population thus released. Un- fortunately three-fourths of tho emigrants went. to the United States and were lost to Canada. In 1864 the question‘of Maritime l'nion was under consideration at the tlharlottetown Conference. This scheme was not found to be prac- ticable and visiting delegates from tlanada induced representatives of Prince Edward Island to attend the Quebec Confederation Conference. But the Island was flourishing, it had a govrnment system to its lik- ing. import. duties were low, and it had no public debt. The leaders of public thought felt it would be wise to let well enough alone, and in 1865 the Assemby by a vote of 23 to :3 decided the terms offered were neither “Liberal nor just" and would haw nothing to do with the Confederation scheme. In 1866 and 1870 the Assembly again went on record against Confederation. . But. the Island began railway building. The tlm'ernnient. mum found Itself in a precarious finan- cial position.

Few Canadians were greatly thrilled, the world at large was quite indifl'erent, when the Arctic Archipelago was added to the Doâ€" minion by Imperial Parliament. in 1880. Yet this was the culmination of a history as thrilling as any chapter in the exploration of the unknown world. Since Frobisher in the days of‘ Queen Elizabeth made the first held dash into the Arctic, carrying St. (,ieorge’s Gross where no flag had ever been seen before, British ships and British lives have been lavish- ed on heroic attempts to discover the secrets of the North,â€"â€"partly in the. hope of finding a new sea route for commerce from the At- lantic to the Pafitlc, but often in the purely scientitic desire to com- plete man’s knowledge of the globe he lives on Other nations at times had join- ed in the search, but. none with anything like the persistent enter- prise of our empire.
