Unfortunately for him and, as it turned out, for Mary also he found some free-traders at his abode awaiting his return. They had few goods for trade in their outfit, but they had a keg of fire water, which has ever been the scourge of the Indians. Robinson informed them of his success in shooting the deer and that it was even now being brought in.
They went to school together, and then to the fishing, and afterwards they sailed together with the free-traders over to Mount's Bay, and good seamen the both, though not a bit alike in looks and ways. Abe, the elder by a year, was a bit slow and heavy on his pins; given to reading, too, though he seemed to take it up for peace and quietness more than for any show he made of his learning.
"Nonsense!" said Strange, laughing. "We don't carry our business war as far as that. Why, we want to show you free-traders what a fine place we have, so we can crow over you a little. Anyway, you dined with Mr. Gaviller, didn't you?" "John Gaviller would never let himself off any of the duties of hospitality," said Ambrose cautiously.
How the Monopoly of the Fur-trade affected the Men engaged in it. Fight with Free-traders at Tadoussac. The Founding of Quebec. The First Bitter Winter. Champlain starts on an Exploration. Discovery of Lake Champlain. Fight with a Band of Iroquois. Its Unfortunate Consequences. Another Fight with Iroquois. Montreal founded. Champlain's most Important Exploration. Lake Huron discovered.
Formerly the Indian sat humbly on the step with his furs until the trader was pleased to open his door; whereas now when the Indian landed, the trader ran down the hill with outstretched hand. Far and wide Minot & Doane were known as the "free-traders"; and some of their customers journeyed for three hundred miles to trade in the little log store.
But you shall not hear one word respecting the political organisation of your country; the meaning of the controversy between free-traders and protectionists shall never have been mentioned to you; you shall not so much as know that there are such things as economical laws.
'For as the babe, whom rising storms molest, Clings but the closer to his mother's breast, So the rude whirlwind and the tempest's roar But bind him to his native mountains more." My story next came upon the tapis; and the sketch of my capture by the free-traders was listened to with polite interest. "Very possibly I may have some irregular neighbours," was the prince's remark.
Chafing under the loss of trade by reason of an independent post that had been built upon the shore of his lake some ten miles to the southward, his wild Metis blood called for action and, hastily summoning a small band of Indians, he attacked the independents. Incidentally, the free-traders' post was burned, one of the traders killed, and the other captured and sent upon the longue traverse.
Say whatever you please about me, but there is no need to mention Barclay or Burford; and it would not be fair to the honest free-traders here to explain where their Chine lies.
That such a policy should be subscribed to by Free-traders, and that a Free-trade Government should advocate a change in the relations between the two countries, under which such a system could be possible, is indeed surprising. To use Imperial credit for such a purpose would be midsummer madness.
