Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Canadian Wealth, Vol. 1 The rapid concentration of wealth in Canada is no mere fancy. Already, it is estimated, less than fifty men control or more than one-third of Canada's material wealth as expressed in railways, banks, factories, mines, land and other properties and resources. To say that this small group of individuals control so vast a wealth and the agencies of its production does not imply that they own it all. Between ownership and control there is a difference, yet the reverse of that commonly sup posed. By means of their control of financial markets and distributive systems, a small number of men may effectively control sources of wealth which still may remain under in dividual ownership, as witness the case of the farms, of which control farmers throughout Canada are bitterly complaining. Also it is not necessary for magnates to Own all of the stock of railroads, banks, factories and mines; much of that owner ship may be distributed among small shareholders, yet by their predominantly large holdings of stock, and through their power of directorship, those magnates can and do control those diversified, and often financially interconnected, sources of wealth.

Download or read book A History of Canadian Wealth written by Gustavus Myers and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 1972-01-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering work, Gustavus Myers lays bare the corruption, swindling, land deals, and bribery that are at the basis of Canadian history. This is Canada's past seen through the eyes of a muckraker, and in it the heros of other histories appear in quite a different light. This book was first published in 1914—in the United States. It has never before been published in Canada. Canadian historians have mostly ignored, suppressed, or mocked it. But history is not the preserve of apologists for big business and the political parties, and A History of Canadian Wealth is certain to be widely read and recognized at last as a classic. A landmark revisionist history of Canada, A History of Canadian Wealth remains as lively and startling as it was when first published.

Excerpt: ...often issued for stock jobbing purposes, advertised their connection as a guarantee of the prominence and stability of these enterprises, and as the best assurance that could be given that the whole power of the state could be infallibly depended upon to pass whatever additional laws were necessary, and to give gratuities in loans, bonuses and land grants. The Church Subscribes for Stock Charters were, therefore, easily rolled through the legislative grind, but to get the funds for construction from private sources was often a very different and an arduous task. The charter of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad Company, incorporated March 17, 1845, gave specific power to the ecclesiastics of the Seminary of St. Sulpice of Montreal, or any other civil or ecclesiastical body, to lend money to the Company or subscribe for its stock; this was the first instance of authority of this kind given in Canada. Timmins, secretary of the provisional committee of the Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Railway Company, wrote from Fredericton, N. B., January 7, 1850, to Earl Grey, at London, that he had been canvassing the parishes contiguous to the line of railway for the purpose of enrolling stockholders. "The venerable Archbishop Signy," he wrote further, "having supplied me with letters to the Catholic clergy, his name has been like a tower of strength among them.... In proof of the zeal shown by the clergy in Lower Canada, I have the pleasure to tell you that the name of every rector, vicar and cure for the whole distance is entered in the Book of Enrollment of stockholders and the proposed applications for shares, and the enregistered amount in Canada and this province to the present time, including the 35,000 offered...
