Charlton, John. Speeches and addresses: political, literary, and religious. $2. Morang & co.
“John Charlton, member of the Canadian house of commons from 1872 to 1904 ... has collected some of his speeches and addresses on various subjects. Those which will be of special interest here are those on the National transcontinental railway; the Brown draft reciprocity treaty of 1878, which failed to be ratified by the United States senate; Self-protection, reciprocity and British preference. There is also an able parliamentary speech on ‘Irredeemable currency,’ and in the platform addresses there are two of interest as giving a Canadian’s view of Washington and Lincoln.”—Ind.
