and if his resigwtion waa necessary toparily
the political atmosphere *1 became ueetw ary
Gr the leader of the Government to reoou-
atruct his 1:overomen(; ee that an effectual
guarantee would be proses ted to the peo-
ple that the etaagere which threaten the
country from immoral p'httwl methods
would came, Such • reasstruct,n accord-

Canada has not been effected, .ad 1 feel it

regarded as the too lenient view taken of it
by the (lovernme.t. Iaat season revealed
much to justify the apprehension that more

auotry were bewe male sources of party
e molument. It was not desirable to perpeta,
rte such • system. The hon. gentleman
then went on to examine why it w5. that
Canada bad retrograded ass nationality. It
was because of appeals sow being made to
the lower eternal& d our nature to keep
tbemeelres in power. The flay had oome
for .base who loved Canada to speak out
