Mr. Speaker annotEnt m,•
electoral district of East York, caused by
the death of Alexander Maenzie, •and-
announeed that he hid- issued his warrant
for a new writ to be made out.
Mr. Prior said he was informed • that a
week ago the Empress of Japan, sailing
from China, `canis into British Columbia
with smallpox on board ; also that 518
Meese were on board, and that the quar-
antine accommodation was totally unfit
for any large number of invalids to be
treated. He asked if the Government knew
of this.
Mr. Carling said the vessel had arrived,
and there was a case of smallpox.
r. Steven$on's bill to incorporate the

goods.
Mr. Gillmor shared with the members
from St. John in their excessive loyalty.
He believed in the •mainteance and inte-
grity of the Empire,but he did not see why it
could not as well be maintained finder free
trade as under protection. He would vote
fo t3 resolution of free trade with the
M er Land. He would as soon expect to
•se ngland go back to African slavery as to
.protection. Protection was a selfish, wicked,
sinful, thing.
Mr. Macdonald (Winnipeg) expressed
himself as cordially in favor of the resolu-
tion. He dwelt upon the material advan-
tages to Canadians of British connection,
but went 011 to say that it, was upon senti-
'mental grounds after all that the Canadians
favored connection with the Mother Court-,
try. When Richard Cobden began the
great campaign •which 'ended in the over-
throw of the corn laws in 'Britain, he had
only a few men about him. In Britain there
were already • a hundred members of the
House of Comnrons who had voted in favor
of preferential trade arrangements with the
colonies. There was a strong feeling of
distrust of the future on the part of the
British workingmen. They found them-
selves sufferition.
Such a m asure rforeign
would tend tot afford
relief. But above all it would advance the
interests. of Canada, which should be the
first consideration with Canadian public
men.
Mr. Watson denied that the Manitobans
were afraid of being' flooded out by . the
products of the United States, for in their
natural products they did not fear competi-
tion with he world. As to manufactures
they had none, and therefore had no inter-
est in protection for manufactures. In the
Last general election there was not a Con,
servative candidate dared to face the trade
question.
Mr. Foster, after congratulating the
member for North Bruce on his speech, and
thanking him for introducing his resolution,
stated that although in his opinion it would
be a good thing for Canada to have reason-
able trade relations with the United States,
and although it would be a better thing to
have the advantage of a proposition of this
kind, he did not believe that the future of
Canada, its progress and development, de-
pended upon either one or the other.
Mr. Davies said
s
of the Finance Ministen
r would onderous hardly be
taken by the promoters of this resolution as
compensation for the cold water which, for
the greater part of his speech, the poured
upon it.
He moved in amendment' that all
the words after " that " be
omitted and the following substituted :
" Inasmuch as Great Britain admits the
products of Canada into her ports free of
duty, this House is of opinion •that the
present scale of duties exacted by' Canada
on goods' mainly ' imported from Great
Britain should be reduced."
A division was taken on the amendment,
resulting as follows : Ayes 64, nays 98.
The original motion was theft carried as
follows : Ayes 97, nays 63.
Sir Richard Cartwright 'asked if the
tenant far ors' reports were ready to bring
down, as understood they were to be
brought do the day after the last discus-
sion on immi ration.
• Mr. Carling said that the report of
those delegates who visited the Maritime
Provinces had never been received. He
supposed they had been sent to the High
Commissioner.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the bill respecting United States
fishing vessels. .
Mr. Laurier suggested that the second
clause relating to the issue of licenses by
Newfoundland should be struck out.
On motion for Committeeof Supply,
Mr. Watson rose to call attention to the
subject of the duty on binding twine. He
stated that petitions against this duty had
been received, by the House from the
Patrons of Industry and the' Dominion
Grange, representative organizations of the
farmers of this country. It was as good as
admitted that the biudertwine manufactory
of Canada wad controlled by the National
Cordage Com any of the United States, by
which frame ' great binder twine monopoly
of the Unite, fates was known. He had
been informe : y one of the leading dealers
in Manitoba that it was about a toss-up
with his firm whether they should import
American twine and pay the duct+ or buy
Canadian twine. This was proof positive
that the farmers had to pay tribute to
the Canadian factories to the extent of
the duty. There was no revenue from
this article, so that the Government would
• not lose anything by removing this
duty. This tax was particularly onerous
upon the people of Manitoba, because they
cultivated a larger quantity of land per
capita than the people of the other Prov-
inces. He had gone into a careful examina-
tion of the prices on either side of the line,
and found that the additional price to Can-
adian farmers was about 3 cents per pound.
On the crop of last year this would repre-
sent a tax upon the farmer's of Manitoba of
$117,000. Upon the whole of Canada the
tax amounted to $400,000. It might bo
denied that the National Cordage Company
was owner of the Canadian Mills. But he
found in a favorable notice of this company

a resolution

Mr. Mulock seconded the resolution,
He read a letter from Robert Wilkie, Secre-
tary of the Ontario Grand Lodge of Patrons
of Industry, to the effect that binding twine
was increased in price in Canada by about
the amount of the duty, or almost 30. per
pound. The duty in the United -States was
only a tenth of one cent per pound. When
the duty was removed from sugar the
Finance Minister declared he had relieved the
peopiefrom taxation,and the fact was proven
by an immediate drop in the price of sugar.
Why mould not the eagle result follow the
removal of the duty on twine ? Now that
this in&&ustry was in the control of a mon-
opoly ' f foreignera, it was surely most
uupatrijtio of the •overnment to leave in
the halals of these men the power to tax so
heavily /he largest class of the Canadian
industrial population.
AFTER RECESS.
Mr. ,Sutherland, continuing the debate,
quoted from a report of the president of the
American Cordage Company showing the
faotor'es oontrolled were 49 in number,
w ' ch included all the factories in Canada.
Th profits of the combine for the year were
$1, '6,000, while thedividends paid to
stoc polders amounted to. $1,30000. No
argil ent could be advanced in favor of

Mr 1'Brien said the resolution was made
in sue a manner as to be 'objectionable to
gentle en on his side of the House, how-
ever ' osed some of them might be to sup-
port t principle embodied.
Mr. ristie, aaid he must raise his voice
agains, he iniquitous system which had
fostere ;o many combines. The time was
come There re.this duty should other combiines

Mr. ‘Mullen said, the Government had
decline to allow the original motion to
stand o the order paper, and hence the
menthe Marquette was compelled to
take th means, by moving an amendment
to the ' tion to go into supply, of bringing
his mo before the House. He was sur-
prised t the member for Muskoka would
not au ort the resolution. His loyalty
should duce him to favor 'the English
manufa rer of binding twine, as would be
the ca if this resolution was carried.
Bindles -ins was 'as much a raw material
for the • er as twine for fishing was for

because ile the fisherman's twine would
last him several years, after the farmer

Mr. F• airn said unless the previous
speaker ''d show that the American
farmer wa :ceiving his twine cheaper than
the Caned was getting it, he had no case.
He had g `, this subject a good deal of
study, and was bound to -say thathe had
affidavits a ing that the Canadian farmer
was paying more for his • twine than was
the Americ• armer.
Mr.' Mehl (Huron) said the gentleman
who had spo on the other side acknow-
ledged that • •e could be made out if it

dian farmer Ile quoted Mr. Massey

in Canada. • T might be some excuse
for. a duty wh • he money went into the
treasury, but it went to a combine

'Mr. Smith (5' Ontario) defended the
duty. If itwas ved we would have to

Mr. Bain said the important point to be

as a tax. He ridiculed the gentlemen oppo-
site for their claims "of loyalty, contrasted
with their willingness maintain duties for
the benefit of a great monopoly of Ameri-
Ar the cans.
conclusion Mr.
the House divided on Mr.WaBton's amend
ment to place, binder twine on the free list,
which was lost. Yeas 64, nays J07.
The House went into Committee of Sup
ply and passed several items relating to
immigration.
Sir John Thompson agreed' to. Mr.
Laurier's request that the debate be resumed
at 3 o'clock on Wednesday next.
Sir John Thompson said he begged to ask
permission to introducers bill readjusting
the representation of the constituencies •in
this House in accordance with' the notice
which stood in his name on the paper. He
was sure the bill would be well received by
the House, if he could judge by the anxiety
evinced by the gentlemen opposite that it
should be brought down. He did not claim
this bill would satisfy everybody. That
was the only misgiving he had upon the
subject, but he thought those disposed to
criticise a measure of this character, apart
from every political consideration, would
say that those who are not pleased are
hard to please. Ontario had in 1881 a
popuiation of 1,926,922, now its population
was 2,112,989 ; Quebec in 1881 had 1,359,-
027, now 1,488,586 ; Nova Scotia in 1881
440,572, now 450,523 ; NewBrunewickin 1881
321,233, now 321,294 ; Prince Edward
Island, in 1881, 108,891, now 109,088 ;
Manitoba, in 18f 1, ' 2,260, now 154,442 ;
British Columbia, in 1881 49,459 ; now 92,-
767 ; Territories, at 188 25,515, now 67,-
'554. The redir i ribu would leave
Ontario 92 members, as at present, and
reason ofuebec 5the as f fat ct that thnt e growth of Nova Scotia,
popu-
lation had not been as great as in the other
provinces, would lose one member, 'and
would" hereafter have 20 instead of 21 ;
New Brunswick, for , the same reason, in-
stead of having 16 would have 14 ; Prince
Edward Island, instead of having 6. would
have 5 ; Manitoba, which new had 5, would
be entitled to 7. The representation of the
Territories was based on an arbitrary
arrangement, which it was not proposed to
disturb. There were now, ail still would
be, 4 members ; British Columbia, according
to the proportion of population, would
be entitled to 4 members, but, under
the terms of the Act of Union, the
province must have 6 representatives
until by increase of population it was en-
titled to. more. In'Prince Edward Island
to give five members instead of six it would
be necessaryy to entirely re -arrange the con-
stituencies. According to the division
proposed West Prince County would have
about 21,000 population East Prince,
20,723, including the town of Summerside ;
West Queen's would have 22,209, including
the city of Charlottetown ; East Queen's
would have 23,466; and ICing;s would have
21,684, including Georgetown. The county
lines were departed from in each case. In
New Brunswick there was first to be noted
the of St.
John. it inge the
tot take one memo r
from the city•and county, making the .rep-
resentation hereafter one member for the.
city and one for the city and county. It
was,.,intended to join the counties of Sunbury
and Queen's. Thus two members would be
out out, leaving fourteen representatives.
The city and County of St. John -had a
population of 49,374. The united counties
of Sunbury and Queen's would have 17,935.
In' Nova Scotia the smallest constituency
was the County of Queen's, with a popula-
tion of 10,610. Shelburne, the adjoining
county to the westward, had 14,954,
while the adjoining county
eastward was Lunenburg, to the
was proposed to unite ta ucounties31of Shel-
burne076. and Queen's, with a population of a
little over 25,000. • The unit of the popula-
tion in the Province would be about
22,000. Comingto the Province of
Quebec, he desred to mention that there
were some leading features not 'connected
with the question of the aggregate of popu-
lation. There were great centres of popu-
lation in the Province which should have
larger representation. The city. of Montreal,
which bad three members, had a .peptllation
of 182,695. Hochelaga had 80,998,•the two
together having a population .of 263,693
with four members. In the opinion of the
Government it was just that the represen-
tation of the city should be increased to five,
and Hochelaga should have two members.
In addition to that, the County of Ottawa
called for an additional representative be-
cause ofincreased population. Under the
new arragement it was proposed that Ottawa
county should bo divided into two coun-
ties, each with a population of about 32,000.
in Ontario there would be very few changes.
Just as in Quebec, it was necessary to give
large centres of population, Ottawa county,
Montreal and Hochelaga, additional repre-
sentation in the House, it was found it
'could not be done without altering constitu-
encies having smaller population, so reasons
called for changes in Ontario of the same
kind. There is the case -of Toronto, which
calla for a change, as in the case of Mont-
real, and requires an additional repreaen,
tative. There is a necessity, likewise for
providing an additional representative for
the district of Algoma. Also they proposed
to give a member to Nipissing district,
known as North Renfrew, and which in-
cluded a portion of Eastern Algoma. In
giving an additional member to the city of
Toronto, the Niagara district would be
reconstructed so as to bring the constituen-
cies about tip• to the average
population. The electoral district of Lincoln
and N iagara would consist of the town of
Niagara, the city of St. Catharines, the
townships of Grantham, Clinton, Louth,
Pulham and Gainsborough, and the villages
8f Beamsville and Port Dalhousie. . The

The Battle of the Flowers.
For some time before the retirement of
watchful eyes of Lillian Russell there was a
slight misunderstanding between the beau-
tiful and bewitching queens of the opera.
When the troupe visited Boston the uni-
versity gallants took especial care to
shower their bouquets apon the charming
Attalle. Floral offerings of magnificent .
design and exquisite workmanship followed
in rapid succession. ' It was difficult to
assign a reason for all this, for Lillian
was- no less attractive in face and
forin than the fair Attalie. But
young inen are fanciftil sometimes,
and perhaps Miss Claire, corning from,
a foreign shore (she is a Canadian by birth
and is now living in Toronto) and being a
a stranger in a strange land, there was
awakened that feeling of sympathy which
blooms perennially in the manly heart for
beautiful atrangers in exile. However this
may be, true it is that, in the language of
the club room the boys went wild over the
lovely Attaile'Claire. But the more wild
the young men became the more Miss Lil-
lian Russell felt that the world was slipping
