JONES, ALFRED GILPIN (1824-1906)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 498 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JONES, ALFRED GILPIN (1824-1906) , Canadian politician, was born at Weymouth, Nova Scotia., in September 1824, the son of Guy C. Jones of Yarmouth, and grandson of a United
Empire
  Loyalist. In 1865 he opposed the federation of the British American provinces, and, in his anger at the refusal of the British government to repeal such portions of the British North America Act as referred to Nova Scotia, made a speech which won for him the name of Haul-down-the-flag Jones. He was for many years a member of the Federal
Parliament
 , and
for a few months in 1878 was minister of militia under the Liberal government. Largely owing to his
influence
  the Liberal party refused in 1878 to abandon its Free
Trade
  policy, an obstinacy which led to its defeat in that year. In 1900 he was appointed
lieutenant
 -
governor
  of his native province, and held this position till his death on the 15th of
March
  1906.
