Recto, l.l.: Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in the year 1899, / by ELI NASH MOVER, at the Department of Agriculture.

Recto, l.r.: Life of Rt. Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald, G.C.B., etc. / by W.H. Goodwin. / Extract from John A. Macdonald's 1st election card issued Oct. 5, 1844: / "I therefore need scarcely state my firm belief, that the prosperity of Canada depends on its / permanent connection with the mother country, and that I shall resist to the utmost any attempt / (from whatever quarter it may come) which may tend to 'weaken the union'." / Extract from John A. Macdonald's speech on the "Pacific Scandal": / "I have fought the battle of Confederation, the battle of union, the battle of the Dominion of / Canada. I throw myself upon this House; I throw myself upon this country; I THROW MYSELF UPON / POSTERITY, and I believe that I know, that notwithstanding the many failings of my life, I shall have / the voice of country, and this House, rallying around me. And, sir, if I am mistaken in that, I can / confidently appeal to a higher court - to a court of my own conscience, AND TO THE COURT OF POSTERITY. / "I leave it with this house with every confidence. I am equal to either fortune. I can see past the decisions of the House either for or against me; but whether it will be for or against me, I know, and / it is no vain boast for me to say so, for even my enemies will admit that I am no boaster, that there / does not exist in Canada, a man who has given more of his time, more of his heart, more of his / wealth, or more of his intellect and power, such as they be, for the good of the Dominion of Canada." / THE GOODWIN METHOD. / "JOHN A" IN OFFICE / "JOHN A" IN OPPOSITION / E.M. Moyer & Co., / Toronto Ont., & / Buffalo N.Y.
