Should the Insolvency Act be
Repealed!?
Should the Insolvency- Act be re-
pealed ? This is a question which
is at the present time creating con-
siderable agitation and discussion
throughout the country. The matt
ter has also recently been discussed
in the House of Commons at Ottawa,
and a Bill entirely abolishing the
act has passed its third reading.
During the discussions on this Bill
degree of odium. He immediately
loses his position in society, and is
looked down upon • by his fellows.
We maintain there are few business
men who ?would undergo all the
odium and disgrace attached to
failure in business if they could
avoid it. Well, under the old order
of things, if a !business mew/once
failed, there was but little chance of
his ever getting his head. above
water again, so long as he remained
in the country. In the first place,
he was stripped of all he possessed,
and SO soon as he again made a corn=
mencement in life,. the law vas such
as to permit of any relentless
creditor pouncing upon. him arid
0 e„.
again clearing out his effects, very
probably at a great sacrifice. Thus
Ie was continually kept under and
ground down by the despotic heels
of his creditors, whereas, if he had,
been allowed te work his way up in
the world again, he could soon be
in a position. to liquidate ell just
claims against him and become a
flee Man. This privilege is afford-
ed him by the Insolvency act He
certifies upon oath that .he has given
up auto his creditois, when he can
again commence the world ianew,
and, by thrift and perseverance, in
time, regain the position he has lost
If he has not given up to his credit-
ors'his entire effects, and has made
a false oath, the law gives them the
power to severely punish hien. If
they do' not do so, the fault is with
them, and not with the law.
It has also been urged as an ob.-
jection to the continuance of the
insolvency act, that the expenses of
winding up an estate under it are so
great that the heaviest portion of
thelassets fills to the share of the
Assignee. We do not see how it
can be more expensive to wind up
the affairs of a 6ankrupt estate un-
der the Insolvency act than the
old way. By the former method,
the fees of none but the Assignee
are taken out of the proceeds of the
estate. By the latter, the whole
paraphranalia of the Courts had
to be invoked, and the ex-
penses of which, together with
the fees of Sheriff, Bailiff and an
innumerable host of 'legal gentle-
men, had to be deducted therefrotn.
And any person who has ever had
dealings with the professional and
official gentlemen named, know that
they are by I'm means -backward in
the matter of levying and collecting
fees. This objection, therefore, dces
not carry much weight
We fear that there is some other
object sought to be gained by the re-
peal of the Insolvency act than the
general public good, and the preven-
tion of rascality. Probably, if their
were fewer legal gentlemen in the
House and in the country', there
would not be so much fault found
with the working of the act. It is
a well. known fact, that since the
law came in force, the incomes of
many of these gentleme,n have been
very considerebly curtailed, and its
repeal woiild be to many of them a
much.greater benefit than to either
the unfortunate creditor or debtor,
over whom so profuse a,"flow of croc-
odile tears 'is being shed.
Mr. Colby's bill -has now come
befote the Senate for its ratification.
It is reported that there is a very
strong probability of that body
throwing it overboard. We sincere-
ly trust , they may. By so doing,
they will show that they have some
little independence left, and that
they are really of some benefit to
the country.
in the Reuse, it was apparent that
a great diversity of opinion exists
.
among members. Public epinien
throughout the country seems equal-
ly divided. On a subject like ehis,
however, self-interest has 'great
deal to do twith forming at mari!s
opinion. This faCt was made
notably apparent by the discussions
- which took place. in the House on
Mr. Colby's Bill. The majority of
th.ose who supported the Bill, and
favored .the entire) .repeal of the In-
solvency act, were members whose
business relations and interests had
been affected by this act. On the.
other hand, many of those who op-
posed the bill and favored the eon-
tinuanc of the act, were wholesale
traders and others who, in their
business connections, had felt the
benefit of such a law. But a ques-
tion such as this should. be viewed
in a broad and eoraprehensive light,
and entirely apart from! any business
or personal considerations. -
Those who favor the repeal of the
Insolvency act maintainthat it holds
out a direct iiaducement to reckless
business habits; and operates as an
incentive to rascality and evvindling.
Now, we cannot view " it in- this
light. Although we :cannot say
that the present Insolvency act is
by -any means perfect, yet we cone
Sider it 'much, better than none at
all, and we,also believe that has
. accomplished much good and pre
--
vented much suffering. It is true
that men have taken advantage of
the Insolvency a,ct when they had
no need to-do so; Rut there always
has been, and always will be, tin-
prinetpled men who are willing to.
stoop to any mean action, and who,
would even perjure themselves for
the sake of gain. We believe; how-
ever,i that such individuals are few,
and that by far the larger propel -
tion Of the business men -of our
country would scorn to take advan-
tage of the benefits of the Insolvency
act unless they 'were actually com-
pelled to da so. Although a law be
ever so good, or so just, there can al-
ways be found individuals -to trans-
gress it if an. opportunity offers.
But this is no reason Why it ehould
be abolished. Rather endeaver to
improve and" stre„ngthen it, in order
to lessen, as much as possible, the
evasions of it. That the Insolvency
law at present in force in this coqve
try is a just law, we fancy there aig
few will clispute,—the objection to
it being that it is ttiken advantage
of by dishonest me -n. In order to
remedy this -objection, it is pioposed
by those ;who oppose it, abolish it
altogethete-t—thus making the many
honest suffer, that the few dishonest
may be punished. '
As we view it, the law, as it ex-
ists, is beneficial alike to the credit-
, or and debtor. Before this law was
enacted, if a Person -failed, ,,one
creditor had an opportunity of see
curing his entire effects, and COM
-
polling the other creditors, no 'matter
how just their claims might be, to
go without a cent.' Thus one man,
simply because he happened to hold
the first judgment, might be paid in
full, while another who, perhaps,
was more lenient, towards the
debtor, and, therefoke, more justly
entitled.to share in proceeds of the
estate, was compelled, as a reward
for his humanity, to lose his en-
tire claim. Those who can call this
justice or honesty, must certainly
hold strange ideas of what, these
-virtues are. Under the Insolveiace
act, however, all eteditors have an
equal claim and all receive an equal
share of the proceeds of the estate ie._
t, proportion to the' claim. This, it
must be admitted, is the only fair
and honest . mode of dealing with
such an. estate. Again, let us look
at the.position in which the deb. tor
was placed before th,i8.act came into
force. AIL mere in business are
jiable to be unfortunate and to fail,
no matter how honest or virtuous
- they ma' be. Failing in business
always brings upon a man a certain
tiouid and bait their hooks, well.
That they bave1 ucceeded the divi-
sion list which we print elsewhere
too plainly shows. The bait used
was of the most attractive and al-
luring kind. In the first place,
they eecured the Imperial guarantee
for4 certain SUM of money. This
rno ey is to be used in the con-
struction of the Canadien Pacific
Railway, and will all be placed at
the disposal of ethe Government.
During the construction of this rail-
way there will be many fat con-
tracts, all of whicn will be in the
gift of the Dominion Government.
There are representatives in the
House to whom a Government rail-
way contract would be a very ac-
ceptable thing,—if not for them-
selves, at least for a relative or relit
able supporter. If, therefore, a
contract of this •sort could be se-
cured by so trifling a sacrifice as re-
cording a vote in favor of the Gov-
erncoent, even at the expense of
conscience and the violation of
pledges to constituents, why be so
foolish as to let it slip'? In the sec-
ond pleceethe Government staked
their existence upon the ratification
of these provisions of the Treaty.
H d th t ratified them

the Government would have been
elefeated. They were no tveys back-
wardin keeping this point protein.-
'
ently before their supporters. The
result was that many voted for party

their crstituents and are called'
upon to give explanations. What
excuses they will then offer for their
conduct ;it is difficult to imagine.
They will have one consolation, -how-
ever. Their masters were in equal -
as disagreeable a position, and
wriggled out of it. The Govern-
ment, by their own statements were
at one time, as much opposed to do-
ing what they. have done as mortal
man could be, yet, when. the sweets
of office were in danger, they 'man-
aged to invent an, excuse—although
a, very flimsy oneeLfor their somer-
sanit, and there is little doubt but
their followers will be apt enough
to profit by the example set. But,
that they will be so successful, we
very much doubt The free and in-
dependent electors are not so easily
caught as to be led astray by prom-
ises of railway contracts and similar
favors. They have their own
interests to look after, and we are

modating representatives, who al-

The Vote on the Treatie
The following shOws the result of
The Agony Ended ---Canada
The debate on the Washington
Treaty was brought to a close on
Friday last, and the provisions of
the Treaty respecting- Canada have
been ratified by our own Parliament.
The question was thoroughly and
lengthily discussed, and, upon a di-
vision being taken, 'a majority of the
representatives from each of the
Provinces deliberately voted' to.rati-
fy -the bargain- ancl; sale of their
country inaugurated by the Do-
minion . G-oyernment That these
Provisions are unjust to Canada has
been admitted over and over again,
not only by the members of the
GOvernment*but also by nearly
every member who voted for their
ratification. The question, then,
naturally arises, Why. has our Par-
liament—given its assent to them ?
The secret of the whole elite; lies
in the fact that Sir John Macdonald,
in an eitil hour, gave his assent to
the Treaty by affixing his signature
thereto at Washington. „Having
done this; he could not go back upon
his own signatuae. He could and
did plead with the Imperial author-
ities to let him off easily, but when
they refused to do this, there was
nothing left for him but to wade
through the mire he had got into as
bravely as possible, and drag his
'subservient followers through after
him. This he has done, and the
iesult is that ourecountry has been
placed in the market, and knocked
downat a, very low bid. .
In order, the more readily, to
bring their followers into this hu-
miliating position, it was necessary
for the Government to ang1.-e eau -

Mr". Whitehead to vote with the
Government ori this question, above
all othets, we cannot imagine. He
must have krint,Vri, that in. so doing,
he did not represent the feelings and
wishes Id those who sent him to
Parliement More than this, he
must have known that he was vot-
ing in direct violation of his pledged
word to his constituents the last
time he appeared before them. It
is due to thelleform party of North
Huron, that Mr. Whitehead should,
without a moment'delay after his
return from Ottavea, give to them
fully and freely the reasons whieh
induced him to vote as he did on
this all-important question. Until
such time as he has an opportunity
to make those explanations, we feel
disposed to deal leniently with him:.
But, irt. the meantime, we would
warn him that there must be no de-
lay. We feel that he has grossly be-
trayed the trust which his party
have reposed In him as their ex -
0 -rent, and anless his explanations
he promptly made, we shall be justi-
fied in branding him as a traitor, and
concluding that he has deliberately

country.
