The Montreal witness
Fortement imprégné de sa mission chrétienne et défenseur du libéralisme économique, The Montreal Witness (1845-1938) est demeuré une entreprise familiale durant toute son existence. [...]
The Montreal Witness: Weekly Review and Family Newspaper voit le jour le 5 janvier 1846 à la suite d'un numéro prospectus paru le 15 décembre 1845. Le Witness, comme on se plaît à le nommer, est l'oeuvre du propriétaire, éditeur et fondateur John Dougall, né en 1808. Écossais d'origine, il émigre au Canada en 1826 et se marie en 1840 avec Élizabeth, fille aînée de la célèbre famille Redpath. Ce mariage lui permet sans doute de s'associer financièrement à cette famille et de tisser des liens avec la haute bourgeoisie anglophone de Montréal.

Le parcours littéraire et journalistique de John Dougall est étroitement lié aux mouvements évangéliques puisqu'il a été membre fondateur de la French Canadian Missionary Society, « organisme opposé aux catholiques et voué à évangéliser et convertir les Canadiens français au protestantisme » (DbC).

La fougue religieuse de l'éditeur a provoqué une réplique de la communauté anglophone catholique. C'est ce qui explique la naissance du journal True Witness and Catholic Chronicle en 1850. Le Witness suscite tellement de réactions que Mgr Ignace Bourget en interdira la lecture aux catholiques en 1875.

The Montreal Witness est demeuré tout au long de son existence une entreprise familiale. John Dougall, propriétaire et éditeur depuis 1845, cède l'entreprise à son fils aîné John Redpath Dougall en 1870 qui, à son tour, passe le flambeau à Frederick E. Dougall en 1934. Ce dernier sera propriétaire et éditeur jusqu'à la disparition du journal en 1938.

The Montreal Witness a connu différentes éditions (hebdomadaire, bihebdomadaire, trihebdomadaire) et plusieurs noms. Outre son appellation initiale, il paraît sous Montreal Weekly Witness: Commercial Review and Family Newspaper, Montreal Weekly Witness, Montreal Weekly Witness and Canadian Homestead, Montreal Witness and Canadian Homestead, Witness and Canadian Homestead ainsi que Witness.

En 1938, à la veille de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, les conditions économiques sont désastreuses et le nombre des abonnements diminue constamment. Malgré de vibrants appels aux lecteurs pour soutenir le journal, celui-ci doit cesser de paraître par manque de financement. Le dernier numéro, paru en mai 1938, comporte de nombreuses lettres d'appui et de remerciements. Ainsi se termine une aventure journalistique qui aura duré 93 années.

fled frum their villages in every direction.Any where, any whers to taway from {he plares where they had bien cooped up for weeks fare to fare with hideous death.And along every road, from fumily, mane fell asthey went, and died where they full English merchants and American missionaries did what little was in their power to relieve the sufferers, feediog all whom they could.They appealed also to Christian le everywhere for help, and their publia ters were so full of eickenitæ accounts of need that at last.after 150,000® people had died, the Turkish (iuvernment began to move to relieve the slintress.A at co umission wan ertablished to administer the relief, snd contributions were glowingly announcedas received from the provinces suite generally.Asthe only hopeof checking the injury enused by famine lay in goveromental interfersane ou w'larpre scale, n general feeling of relief was experienced at this tion of ad cn prislly as reports of grain ship) aud o Fentributions Prose pradually supplanted in the pa reports of misery and want.And, finally, the announcement was made that she famine was coded, wo that ons migat Lreathe freely again.3 Just at this time government officials, with move zen] than discretion, undertook to collet hy foree an offering of the charitable people of ute of the mflering districts in aid of the ually starving le of another county.in atfair produced a disagreeatile impression, that perhaps the rest of the 200,100 pounds ru.Ly Government as * contributed\u201d by Tarious cities of the empire had been contribat- ed in « peculiar sense.Then it begas to leak out that the officials in charge of the first shipments of grain made by the relief commission had impressed muleteers anl canal drivers on all sides 10 carry it into the interior without pay, sud that, sccordingly, later shipments wero paying storage at the ses coast, or rutting on the beach.The governor of & large proviace blushed no blush as he told au American traveller, already heartsick with twenty days among the starving, that of the money relief mnt seventy-five cent.ra mained in the porkuta of Thoso cutrusted with îte distribution.Nor bad this officer the power or theinclination tu remore from offire the barpies in whose clutch the te were.But ;rometirars a pretence oF ald did take re.In one place the villagers were in- ormed of a mnnificent Government donation of about a peck of barley per head in be had by going ninety miles to fetch it! Bumetimos a measure or tno of grain was put into the hands of each one of neveral hundred rofugecs who ware aceking refuge in the atrectaof nome city, and then the mam were driven out into the ficlds at Lho point of the bn t, and told never to dare\u201d come back egain.Commonly the grain offered wea offered ne an advance against good pecurity, and when applicants were unable to produce accurity the wheat \u2018was quit tly handed over to the regular dealers, whose yranaties ulready contained all the reserve wheat in the district.Time would fail to tell of all the sufferings of the refugees who had tora down their own houses bit by bit for fuel, or to sell for broad, whore farms were waste, whose cattle were dead, while they themnelven were treated al.moet ar public enemies by the le to whom they looked for wid.At the Cilician gates, in the Taurus mountaine, a specinl gu.of Im- nl troope druve the fleeing population ck upon their deserts.And in lerge towus round about guards were placed over the ovens to prevent the refugees who had money from buying broad, leat the townspeople should bo stinted.Every day of this long summer men, \u2018women - ay, little wailing children, have dil in the srectn of these great cities \u2014died ne dogs die.The apathy of the Mahometin population toward these poople has only bocn more marvellous than the apathy of tho Gov.aument toward them, A hile all this was going on, the aesured that all wne well in Asia the papers which published letters from American misjonaries and others narrating these facts, incurred the displeasum of the Bublime Porte, The story told in private letters brought aid from England and America: and after that was all used up, the Govera- moat at Int decided to send out a commission to sce if it wan all true.And aîter hundrede nf villages bai been doe populated and great districts had become doe sett, oficial notire was taken of the fact that famine still existed in Asta Minor.Moreover, Government announced that in ita fatherly tendernere for its subjects, it had decided to remit the taxes duc from the sufferers, and still further that a free gift of oxen would bo made et once to all farmers whose cattle had perished, Amin it secracd that the Government xd roused to the importance of the crisis, snd that Axia Minoe's fairest pleine would again biing forth.t pretty soon one of those meddlesoms Americans, who had already caused so much trouble to the authoritios by stating what wes to be aren, began again to look around in out- of-the.way places.His accounts of the situs.bite Were inor, and \u201cThese Ivan oral Taner aiven by ih0 Levent Merald in 0 Heat inssrtion, wip Ge.por line after insertions on outside pag Tri-Weekly and Weakly, (Og, rst - TRI.WEEKLY tion varied widely from the Government ru- ports.Whatever of ostentatious relivf was given wus renderuid at large cities where for.ign merchants and consalur axcots could re.pat it, uothing whatever wus boing dune at points more difficult of accoss and nuire sacure from obecrration.Insteul of cattle being given to the people thut the winter whout might bo sown, tax-gatherers wer: forcing the people 10 sell what cattle wore 1uft to them iu payment oftazes.\u2018Laven, instead of being re- taitud, were being nollected with eedoubled vigor.Feoplo who had alittle pile of grain frum the pitiful harvest of this your deliburate ed whether to eat it snd risk starvation next year, or to plunt it and risk prosent desth.But such calculations were red unnecessary, snd the question settled in favor of atar- vation in any caso by the appearance of tho tax-gutherer, who scized twelve and a half per cent.of the little crôp this year, instond of the wal tithe.In a city where people wore snd are still dying every day from starvation, it was found that the Goverment was oollet- ing taxes of the wretches, and sending the money thus obtainod to the saltpotre works of Conia, The publivation of these details shamed the Government and after all possible taxce had wen rollectod, the order to collost me mere was actually sent out.Cattle, too, were really collected and sent into Asis Minoru groat num- bers-after the wintir snows had minde vse of them impossible; and then it became known that these cattle had boen noizod by force frou the Bulgarian puasants luckless enough to livo peur tholine the Huumeli railway, mking wnathcr involuntary contribution \u201cfur the famine.\u201d \"THE GRASSHOPIER PLAGUE.The region of country devastated by the druught and grasshoppers erabraces the lower uarter of Dakota, afifth of lows, all of Ne.teurks, Kansas, Colurgdo, and the ladiin Territory, the bulk of Missouri, and parts of Illinois and Kansas.En Knnuss and Nebraska the corn rrep was & total failure.Tho drought comuenced in June nnd continued till August The ground was perched, and it rracked open in many places, leaving bolos half nn inch wide and two fect deep.Grass wus dried to hay, and Bren raged where cattle ought to > grazed.Wells and streams dried up.the beat was intense, and the com silked outin a eickly way, and then tassel and silk dried.\u2018The grasshoppers came in July.They in.verialdy enme from the west, from the mountains.A fearful drought had dried up every vestige vf living vegetation beyond Colorads, und the graehoppers were driven eastward into the cor fields.They appeared first in t'aloradu, then swarmod through Ksnsas and Minouuri, tle last ones dying in Indiana, near Vincennes, The grasshopper was like the or.dinnry insect «con in New Fogland, from au inch to an inch wud a bal in length.It wae 8 ravitious eater.Jt would eat four times its awn weight in 8 day.Itecerued to be a little mill to grind up feud.\u2018The natives liken-d it to « sausage machine.Îte favorite diet was prencorn.When this was gune they ate tho lewves off the trees, green apples, and Jie, and rather than go hungry they would devour wach other.If one died, a dozen mourners would gather at the funeral and eat him up.Near Topeks, Kansas, | talked with a farmer who planted a thousand acres of cor, but did not gatheran car.Last year he sold rqrn for 17c., and this yoar he was getting it from lows at §1 25.He ant on his balcony mourning the utter dostruetion of his crop.\u201cHow did they come\u2014the grasshoppers!\u201d I asked.\u201cThey came like a shower, sir,\u201d he replied.\u201cTbey came in à greutshuwer from the west.They filled the air, They darkened the sun.They covered the stulk of corn until it was black.Them they ate every luf, ate the stalk down to the youny ear.and then ate the tittle «ar, tou.\u201cCub and all, sir\u201d \u201c Yes, coh and all.\u201d Why, dun't you sen that thousand acres of ourn out therc now?\" he Sacluimed \u2014\"anding like broken whip Mock?\u201d « What elso did they catt\u201d T asked, + Why they ate every leaf off of the peach trees, ate the yonng peaches, leaving tho stones, and thers stood my tres Tesflace, hore.ing a crop of peach stones.They ate little cotton-wuod limbs an inch thick;

the potato rot wañne Ireland ; the cuemm.ber bug breaks up the twenty.acre fields of encumbers in Russia.\u2018The wheat crop eanaped this year in Kansan and Nebraska, It was maturod before the drought ur grasshoppers came, but it ware very moall crop.nd now the farmera have learned the loan that to prosper thoy must raise different crops \u2014wheat, oats, awoet potatoes, wool and butter and cheese.Then the destruction of one erp will not bankrut them.I notice this year tho ficlds of Kanase and Nebrarkaare green with winter wheat, snd neat yeor the wheat crop of this country will 10 augmented b: millions of dusbule.The poor of the Kast need not look for a decline\u2019 in pork and corn this year, for the destroyed crop of 8 conniry acven times ay large an Naw England must tell upon the whole world, Eu l'anciss.HOW ROME DRIVES HER FLOUK.Mr.Gladetone's a 1 to the patriotism of English Roman Catholics in having 8 madden.ine effect upon Archbishop Manning, and other l'itremontaniet evelend in Kagland.Foar- ing that if strong measures are not applied to them, the English Catholics might find their sllegriance to their nativo lacd stronger than their aîlegiance to the Vationn, Acchbishop Manning hes resorted to an attempt to corece them through their superstitions fears.Oa a recent Bunday he caused the Roman Ostholio clergy of London to read, during the relebra- tion of High Mass, 8 notice which set forth that, * Whosoever doce not in hle heart receive ond believe the doctrine of the Tmmamiste Conception and the doctrine of the Infallibilisy of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, na they have been defined by the enpreme authority of the EDITIO?mas Church, does by that very fuct cosmo to bon Catholic.\u201d Not content with this general rlatement the arrogant peelato slmod 6 particular Liow at Lords Aston and Camoys, Mr.Henry Petre and Sir Uoorgs Bowyer, and th we whom they t, who, au our readers are awsre, have nonounced that while thoy are Catholics they are yet Eaglishmen, and canuot put the right of the Rupe to interfere with their alleginuco ns suc! avy interpretation that Le muy put u i fed of infallibility, It pow remains to Le whether the gentleman we lve nad sud theese wlio acientiousiy think as pi do, are ti be driv into onfuimity by the threat of cvcommuni- «ation, When we remember the unpurallcled pusit.laniniity of tha Roman Catholic prelat., worly & hundred in nuwler, who viguroudy proteated against and oppined, by proches un l writlen arguments, the dujina of Yatallibility while wus under discussion im the Vatiomn Cuuneil, but who either cravenly ahiented Wemselves snd meskodaway from Rome when the final voto was takes, or rotracted their arguments aud yielded their objections when the pupal thumb.serew wasapplicl,we 1 uld have but slight « *pectatin {au exhibition of moral courage the + against whem Archbishop falominate od & threat of cavummunicstion.if they wore not Poglishmen and lay.teu.The prosurs that wax brought to bear upon Bishops Ken.rick, Hefcolo, Rauscher, Bayley, Parcel, M+ Clon] Duparloup, S-bwarzeubery aud their | ursociates, and to which they succumbed, fortunately, Ia onc that cannot be brought to boar on Engliah laymeu.They have nover taken the outh of allegiance to the Lupe by which every Romish bishop manacles his soul and Rupprosees his manhood aloug with his individuality, when he awcars at his consecrstion \u201cto premrve, défend, increase, und advance theright, hunors, privileges, and authority of the holy Homan Church, of ourlord the Loge and Lis suercsors.\u201d Neitherare they tortured und persuaded by fears of ecelesiastion] degradation, deprivation from the ministerial office, and the utter ruin nnd poverty which deprivation and degradation would bring, ns were theso wesk-spirited bishops.We may, therefore, rensonnbly look for greater persistence and independence from the Fuglishlay Catholic: und if this expectation iv disappointed, it will only furnish additional evidence that the Ftoman Catholic faith has an inevitable tendency to emasculate the munhond, and to cu- slave thie wills sud consciences of all mon who eshrace it.\u2014Christune Into tigen.>, 1 THE FRENCH-CANADIANS, Liv.J.N, Willinme, reneral missionary of the Baptist Homo Mission Society in N Englund, writes toa Bapti to feel our great per- nat cet way before the throne of Hla who anus boluee Lvey ave egaceirest Tthivk this slew {a sustained b;
