MecornoL1. (Heron).—we have COMMeneed at this present time to go es far ae we deem necessary. We have eminencies] the work that we will oom. plate, probably hi 1902. We will be in power in 1002, and after the census are taken, we will complete the work we have commenced, and try and endo all the evil done by the Gerrymander Bill of 1882, This Bill secures to a very great extent the permanency of the oleo• poral divisions, Gerrymanders will be reduced to a minimum. It will secure a fair expression of public opinion on all matters brought before the people, and it has been admitted by those who spoke that the prinoiplee underlying the Bill are good. A large number have expressed themselves in favour of maintaining °aunty boundaries, and several speakers have aoknowladged that the proposal to submit the subdivisions to a committee of judges is of the very best character. IE we wished to take advantage of the Liberal•Ooneervative party, as they took advantage of the Liberals in 1882, could we sot alt down and gerrymander, and out, and carve, and give ourselves an ad. vantage which nothiug could overcome at the approaching election. But, Sir, we are willing to do what we all said was right and feat, We have come bare with fifty live majority, and oan carry any thing we wish, bat we propose to be fair. We say we will restore the Bounty boundaries whioh we have acid we would restore, and after we go that far, we hand the whole matter over to a commission of jadgee, who are above suspicion, and above the influence of political parties, and we say to them : Go to work and rneke the subdivisions in the interests of the country, and not in the intereete of party. It we had taken the opposite comae, we 000ld gain the advantage that the Liberal -Conservative party gained in 1882, but we are above that. The Lib- erals are ready to stay out of power un. less they are sent here by the fair and independent vote of the eleotorate of this couutry. Every Liberal who oomes here as a eopporter of the Government and ae a supporter of my right bon. friend (Sir Wilfrid Laurier) oomes here with the consent, and by the votes of those who gave hint their confidence, and be does not wish to some in any other way, Now, Mr. Speaker, I have one or two more points to refer to. The leader of the Opposition always uses strong lang- uage, and in this case he hurled some very strong epithets against the Bill. I wish him, or any other of hie friends, to try and jaatify the words he used. He told ns the Bill was grossly unfair. In what respect 7 Does it not return to the old condition that existed from oonfeder• ation np to 1882, the oonditidb of retain- iug the minute, boundaries, and in favour of whish Sir lobo Macdonald made snob an elogaent speech in 1872. Is it unfair because it does that 7 Is it grossly unfair because it leaves the subdivisions to the judges of the land ? The hon. gentleman (Sir Charles Topper) said that this was an infamous Act and a monstrous Aat and an o2trege upon the eieotorate, but not one of his supporters who spoke dared attempt to prove that. Does it outrage the electorate by restoring county boundaries, and by leaving the eubdivi• cion to the judges ? If it does not out- rage the electorate, how can it be called aa outrage against the electorate 7 Does it not equalize population ae well as the old Bill ? I have shown that it does that better than the old Bitl, notwithstanding what the hon. member for East Toronto .(Ross Robertson) said last night. I obal• lenge him to prove that the Bill of 1882 made a more equal division of the pope• lotion than the Bill of 1872, I challenge the hoe. gentleman (Ross Robertson) to prove that this Bill is a violation of the principles of representation by papule, tion. He complained bitterly of the Liberal party for not giving Toronto a greater representation. Does not 001 ill give Toronto a greater representation than any other Bill you ever had ? It makes a more equitable distribution of the population of the oity of Toronto than the Bill of 1882. To prove this, I will show yon what the distribution of the constituencies of Toronto under that Bill was. West Toronto had 22,988 • Centre Toronto had 24,867, and Batt • Toronto had 88,565—not a very fair die. tribntion of the population. There were three members given to the oity of Toron. to at that time, whiob gave a population of 28,805 for each. Now, come forward with me 10 years, when Toronto reoeived an additional member under the Redia. tribation Bill of Sir John Thompson. Sir John Thompson was a fair man, and he sought to do the very beet be ooald for the city of Toronto in 1882. Be in• creased the membership for that city by one. The populabiou of Toronto bad in- creased from 86,000 in 1882 to 144,023 in 1892, eo that by Sir John Thompson's redistribution Toronto reoeived allrepre- eentative for every 36,006. That ie what the two Conservative redistribution Bills gave to Toronto. Now, we propose to give that oity five members. We did pro. pose to base that representation on the population of 1891, on whioh baeie Toronto would have a member for every 28,804, or 8,000 lees for oath member than in 1802. Mn• Cum.—Might I ask my hon. friend if he overlooks the fact that by this Bill there is over 30,000 being added to the population from the county of York ? Mn. Mammon (Huron).—Well, we will take the present /reputation of about 180,000, whioh would give a basis for eaoh of the five members of 80,000, Sir Jobe Thompson in 1892 made the basis 80,006, and you did not blame him. You did not cry aloud In the various papers belonging to the party. You made no fuse at that time. Mn. LANDmnxm,—Damb 11,8 oysters. Mn. MACDONALD (HOron),--)311t new, When the Liberal party are giving you tyre some reproeentation by population whioh you received ceder Sir John Thompson'e redistribution in 1892, you blame no. Mn. CLAnmm,--Will the hon, gentleman now kindly give to the liguroe for the comity of York 1122, Moeoosaoo (flares),—I have sopa. rated the oity of 'Toronto wholly and en. tirely. As I said before, every cement. nenoy that has a oommunity of intereete atonic] baae P art'tod from others that are different ; that is n fundamental prin. oiple in making eleotoral division°. A farming community should not be allied with a city community, because the coin- munity of interest among the fermata is wholly and entirely different, and no man oan represent the two at the sante time benauee they are opposed, Na. CLAnutt,—If the lion. gentleman has no objection, however, it would be intereeting to have the agurea regarding the twenty of York put beeide those WltiolI ha hue given of the city of Toronto. Ale, MVfacuusatJ, (lionoN)...-j have mit the figaree of the twenty of York. I am answering the argument made by the hon, member for Bast Toronto (Itoss Robertson) last night, whet' be claimed that Toronto was not ttuflieiently repro• vented ; and the bon. gentleman (lir. Olathe) is drawing a red herring across the trail in order to avoid a rebuttal of the argument of the bon, member fur East Toronto. Another thing said by the hon. member for East Toronto loot night was that wben we are on this side of the HMG said that many members Ifvicon in the oity of Toronto and repre sooting other oonetituenciee would look after the intereete of the city, we might ae well say that they would look after the intereete of this oity because their post o0lce addressee were here. I ixpeuted a sounder argument from the hon, gentle • matt than that. Although our poet oflloe addresses are here, our interests are not here, whereas the interests of a large number of gentlemen who live in Toronto and represent other oonatitneuciee are in Toronto. They itre manufeotorers, money lenders, or are engaged in various kinds of boeineee 1,1 that city, As Toronto proapers they prosper; costae gnently, their iutereet becomes identified with the interest of Toronto to some ex- tent, and therefore, to my mind Toronto is better represented in Parliament than any other division in the entire country. We have four able bodied men—and I speak literally when I say that—from the city of Torouto. Three are sitting on the opposite aide ; one 1 ant glut to say is sitting behind me, and probably two or three more will do eo after the next election. We have four members from the pity of Toronto — Mr. Olathe, Aar. Bertram, Mr. Robertson, Mfr, Osier. These gentlemen are specified by the electorate to come here end look after their interests. Bat in addition, we have Mr. Aiulook, whose interests are more largely in the oity of Toronto than in North York, and who, while not neglect• ing North York, will certainly look after the interests of Toronto. Then we have Mr. Maclean, whose whole interests I be• sieve are centered is the city of Toronto, although he represents East York, and he will certainly loolc after his intereete in the city of Toronto. Then we have our honoured and highly respected Speaker, who presides with smolt diguity over us, and who today represents a rural constituency, bat whose business in• tereete are in Toronto. Then we have the bon. member for North 3imooe (Mr. McCarthy), who represents that oonetit- uenny well ; but that does not prevent him also representing the intereete of Toronto, whioh I am sure be will stand by when necessary. Then we have Mr. Craig, who I understand has gone to live in the city of Toronto, and who will look after its interests. Toronto has a right to olaho a proper recognition. An hon. Member.—It wants the earth. Ma, MACDONAL DHuron —M ( )• Y loo. friend says it wants the earth. It bee already a good deal of it. Iu addition to these hon. members, Toronto is very largely repreeented iu the other House. We have eeuators there who will look after the bad Bills of the House of Com- mons, as they call them, and give them the six months' hoist sometimes, ee- peoially if the interests of Toronto are involved. There are Senator Allan, Sen. ator O'Donohne, Senator Cox, Senator Reeeor and Senator Aikens, all from Toronto. There are fourteen able-bodied men representing the interests of Toronto, and still these hon. gentlemen will get up and declaim against this Bill on the ground that Toronto ie not fairly represented on the floor of Parliament. Do you want two or three more citizens of Toronto down here to look after its intereete 7 I can tell hon. gentlemen opposite that if Toronto eenda men down here who will give righteous support to a righteous Government in dealing with the affairs of this country upon broad and statesreaolike prinoiples, they will get more for Toronto through the application of those principles than they can by op. posing a Government that seeks to do the beet 0 oan for the interests of the county, Mn, OLAara.—That ie the principle. Mn. MACDONALD (Huron),—Aad remem• her Toronto is awake ; Toronto is on the tip -toe to shake off men like the hom member for Bast Toronto, who makes short speeohes of fifteen minotee, taking seven and a hall minutes to condemn the Conservative party, and seven and a half minutes to condemn the Liberal party, and,condemned alt parties when he has damned b o art'ea and shown that they b y cannot do anything, he sits down without suggesting any. thing himself. I have remarked hie speeches, short and oonoise ae they are, ae if he had them by heart, I never heard from the hon. gentleman any sug- gestion as to what he would do on any peblio question, 0 he were elected to lead either party in this country. I believe in a man finding fault and nritioieing the notions of any Government or party which he does not approve, but if be is capable of oribioiem, he ought to be capable of giving c.sonde solution of the questions leis dieoaesing, 1 have never yet beard, however, a solation enunciated by the bon. member, 1 have never heard from him anything but a sondem• nation of either party, just as the whim takes him, when be rises to address the House.
