The great question of Church Union
its nearly over, What will the people
who write letters by the bushel deo
when it is over.
,ledging by the result of the E'tlu
national Association's meeting last
week, the country is not prepared to
jump from the ;trying pan into the fire,
by accepting the township board in-
stead of the sections, This question
was brought up a .great many years
ago and meet a similar fate,
just after April had persuaded
every one that it was going to be
good and behave in a correct way, it
spoiled its -good name by a reckless
disregard of the proprieties, by a big
storm- of wind, rain, lightning and
' frost and snow. It will take much
good conduct to repair its good name.
Just like many people, who after
many years have 'built up a fragra•tt

the country in the summer time t'he
auto truck is carrying a, great deal of

Ontario, and the auto truck is con-
tributing practically nothing to their

to keep up _the roadbed as well. A
revaluation of the National railways
to my mitred would be 'a great step
towards reducing railway rates at the
present time. Some people would
say when it is proposed to reduce
r
rates in Canada that they are Ione
here than they are in the United
States. But is it necessary to take
such a fact as that into considers-
tion? Personally- I -ars in favor of
Canada running her own affairs and
letting folks across the international
boundary line do the same. The
amalgamation of the two great rail-
way systems in Canada has been ad-
vocated in order to bring eabout
economy, and the -hon. member for

that the gentlemen attthe heed of

Sir Henry Thornton are two as able
man as canbe found in the world. I
think 'these two great railway heads
should get together and see- what
can be done in that direction. I am
told that there are districts in Can-
ada -where the two railways are run-
ning parallel and that 10 some cases
there are six, or eight or 'ten trains
running in 'each direction every day.
This must involve an enormous •ex-
penditttree and anyone can see -What

that we should have not more than
one hundred and sixty members after
the next elation. I would also cut: the
number of senators dawn to the ex-

probably one of the biggest problems
this government has to deal with to-
day. I am not one of those who be-
lieve that we should not have immi-

immigrants will flow into this:

twenty-five million people in Canada
today, which we should have had 'if
this land had been governed aright, a

of our debt, for instance, would be
solved without any trouble. also the

I am sorry the Acting Minister of
Finance (Mr. Robb) is not in . his

BLACK ON WHEAT EXPORT.
Mr. William Black (South Huron):
Mr. Speaker, in sly few criticisms
very
' end to be
budget I ink
the
of
brief. I alit inclined to think that in
this House there is too much criti-
cism of a destructive kind and not
enough constructive. Sometimes I
fear that members have lost the
great visions of our statemeti of the
past, the Faith that our forefathers
had fifty years ago
in the destiny
of
hon.
Canada. when S hear ar certain
gentlemen in one breath disparaging
their country and in the next breath
wondering what is going to happen.
The great problems that we have to
face
today are debt,
taxation, unem-
ployment, railtays immigration, and
probably labor. I feel that we in this
corner of the House are in a very
happy position in that regard. Speak-
ing for myself, I have supported the
government in every measure they
have brought down that I thought,
was in the interests of the Dotniniott,
and when my judgment told me
otherwise I voted against the govern-
ment. \\-e all realize the tremendous
national debt that we have to carry
today. a debt of two and a half bil-
lion dollars, which almost staggers
the people. But, Mr, Speaker, when
we read itt the press of certain politi-
cians all over the country saying, as
the leader of the opposition Mr.
Meighen) said at Stratford last Oc-
tober: "Working men banished --
homes boarded up—factories closed—
stagnation in business—despair in
the hearts of artisans—+these are the
fruits of the present government
the tariff had closed two thousand
factories and had driven 300,000 Can-
adians across the line."
Wheel we 'read such doleful state-
ments, we wonder when hon. gentle-
men to our right tell us that the re-
duction in the tariff last year did not
reduce the price of farm implements,
If that be the case, I should like to
ask theist, what was all the hulabaloo.
about from them, or from the inane -
lecturers rs rhemseles Why, 4
h • Mr.
Speaker, hon. members to our right
say in one breath that the country is
going to pieces on account of the re-
duction in tariff, and in the next that
the farmers will get no benefit on ac -
coma of that -reduction. I may say
that at one titre I was a free trader.
In the late eighties and early nineties
I was as strong a free trader as there
was inthe land. But things have
t s
changed in the last forty years, and
I am a low
today, although very a
tariff matt. I do not think I emit(' at
this time support free trade. The hon.'

Now it seems to me that instead of
tailing the country down we should
do something to•build k up. I had to
examine the Parliamentary Guide to
see, -when the hon. member for Fort
William 'and Rainy River came to
this country, and I found that he was
born here in the early eighties. He
would'be a young man in the nineties,
and if he had lived and worked on a
farm at that time as I did, he would
have little to say about, hard times
today. I heard the 'hon. member for.
Dufferin (Mr. Woods) speak about
selling pork and fat cattle at $3.50 or
$3.60 a hundred. .I well remember
