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.

CHAPTER XI FIRST PERIOD OF RAILWAY PROMOTERS Within a few years after the chartering of some of these initial railway projects, their promoters had transferred to themselves from the treasury of the Government of the Province of Canada, then composed of Ontario and Quebec, the aggregate of nearly $22,000,000. Appropriated first in the form of loans, almost the whole of this sum was either soon or gradually converted into the equivalent of a gift. Nor, judging by current standards, was it a modest gift. Compared to the extremely slim population of those parts of Canada at the time, and the great purchasing power of given amounts as contrasted with the far lower power of today, that $22,000,000 represented a sum perhaps equal to ten times that amount in these more enhanced years. But, as we shall see, this was by no means the only cash bounty. Subsidies totalling nearly $10,000,000 more were, in that infant age of the railways, obtained from counties and municipalities in what are now the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The prodigality of these money advances can be somewhat adequately estimated when the scanty population and the paucity of developed resources of the Canada of that time are recalled. These subsidies, moreover, were merely the cash largess. Many of the railway charters specifically allowed the free appropriation of timber, stone and other necessary construction material from the public domain. Besides the cash subsidies, the railway promoters contrived to get from municipalities extensive gifts of city land for approaches, terminals and stations, all of which land became of ultimate enormous value. In every direction, by force of law and often out of law, many of the politicians and their allies and associates were...

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...
