| Title |
The Case of 'Canadian Homes'
|
| Abstract |
The author describes the background of the novel "Canadian Homes; or The Mystery Solved", written by British immigrant Ebenezer Clemo (c. 1830-c. 1860) under the pseudonym Maple Knot and published in 1858 by Montreal printer and publisher John Lovell (1810-1893), Clemo's employer. The novel tells the story of a group of poor Londoners who immigrate to Canada only to find that, because of the lack of a protective tariff to encourage Canadian manufacturing, there were no jobs. The author describes the book as a thesis novel, part of a campaign mounted by Lovell and others for the adoption of a protective tariff to help wrest Canada from its "great commercial distress" by "the establishment and encouragement of her home manufactures."
