CARTWRIGHT, SIR RICHARD JOHN (1835 )

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 436 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAR-CAU
CARTWRIGHT, SIR RICHARD JOHN (1835 ) , Canadian statesman, was born in Kingston, Canada, on the 4th of December 1835, son of the Rev. R. D.
Cartwright
 , chaplain to H.M. Forces. In 1863 he entered the Canadian
parliament
  as a Conservative, but soon after federation in 1867 quarrelled with his party on the question of their
financial
  policy, which he considered extravagant. By 1870 the breach was complete, and in 1873 he became finance minister of the Liberal ministry of the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie. His honesty and
economy
  were undoubted, but the latter quality was sometimes pushed to extremes. From 1878 to 1896 he was the
chief
 
financial
  critic on the side of the Liberal opposition, and on the accession of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier to power in 1896 he became minister of
trade
  and commerce. In 18981899 he represented Canada on the Anglo-American
joint
  high commission at Quebec. In 1904 failing
health
  led to his retirement to the senate. He acted in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's absence at the Imperial Conference 1907 as acting premier.
