The natural result of this system is inefficilancy, corruption -and extravagance, as is manifested by - Dearly . every city corporation in the United States, as well as many of the rural ones. One of the principal sources of Canada's troubles is, the indirect method of collect- ing the -public revenue. This trouble would be intensified if we joined the American - union. Another of our troubles -is high fed- eral taxation ; in this respect also, Annexa- tion would be leading us out of the frying-, pan into the fire. Our third greatest trouble in Canada is the monopolies and combine*. We would not got rid of them by joining I the American Union, but would be placing I our necks still more firmly under the 1 monopolist's yoke. We have many and great 1 evils to contend with,.in Canada, but politi- . cal union with the United States is not the I remedy for them. Free Trade And itS 0011- ' comitant, direct taxation, would bring us all the benefits' that annexation woul8, and I would notsubject us to any of the disad- vautages. Besides thip, we have no guaran- tee that Great -Britain would permit no to annex ourselves to a foreign country, and ..we have as little reason to suppose that that country would accept us, even if we offered ourselves. In advocating annexation, even .1 if otherwise unobjectionable, there are al- ways theme elements of uncertainty. The power to lay down our tariff walls and to direct the mode in which our revenue shall be collected,rests entirely with ourselves. There � in no doubt as ,to whether or not we can get thesi reforms. They are open to us so soon &a a majority WiI18 that they are wanted and - I desirable. They would bring us extended trade, new markets, honest and economical government, and would work even a greater revolution in our country than annexation, while we could still repose in comfort, pros- perity and happiness under the ample folds of the Old Flag. Let the Globe, the Signal and a few other leading papers join with THE EXPOSITOR in demanding Free Trade and Direct Taxation-, and we will soon be enjoying the blessings and benefits which they will bestow. The country is ripe for .the change. All that is wanted is good men . and journals to champion the eause. . I I A Remedy. . A correspondent of the London Adver- tiser makes a very. sensible suggeation in ce to the gerrymander bill now be- fore Parliament. If the Opp . oodtion would adopt some such proceeding they Inight ac- complish something practicable. It is said, however, that they intend to fight the measure line by line, and day by day, even ' if it takes till midsummer, What they ex- � I ' pect to accomplish by such a course we do not know. They may all talk themselves � hoarse, and what will it amount to? When they are --done, the" brute majority" will vote them down, and jeer at them. .rhe ' . only thing accom,prished will be a waste of. ' time, wind and money.- -Some time ago, when Sif John Macdonald and Hon. Alex- ander Mackenzie were leadere of their re -i spective parties, and after a long and heat- . ed debate, a 1%rge -number of the members of both sides met in 'One of the ante-rooffis, and as usual were engaged in good-natured badinage �ith each other. To see them then one could scarcely distinguish Grits from Tories. Mr. Mackenzie remarked to Sir John that he must surely admit that they, the Grits, had had the best of the argument. Sir John, in his jaunty way, and with a wink of the eye, replied: "Yes, I dare say you had the beat of the argument.' but we bad the most votes." So it will be with the redistribution bill, or I any objectionable measure the 'Yovern- ment may determine to force through the House, The Opposition may have ALL the. argument, but argument does not bring votes in the House of Commons. If oar colonial connection is worth any- � think at all to us, it should protect the minority from being imposed upon by an unscrupulous and partizin blinded major- ity. The correspondent says: "I propose that the Reformers of this Province should respectfully petition Her Majesty, showing how they are wronged under form of law by a servile and corrupt majority in the House of Commons. Let full. particulars of the outrage of 1882 be given. Let the carving up of the constit- uencies, the biving of the Reformers, and the practical disfranchisement of thousands of voters be fully shown, then let their dis- graceful measure now before Parliament be explained. Let it be stated that justice * cannot be obtained in a House of Commons of which the majority owe the seats to the gerrymander, the Franchise Act, and the red parlor bribery funds. Let us ask for a GovernorwGeneral who will be instructed to require his Canadian ministers to introduce a redistribution bill for the whole Dominion, referring the re -arrangement of the eon- ctitueDCieg to a non-partisan commission of superior court judges whose report shall be final. William Lyon Mackenzie could not persuade the English Government of the tyranny of the Family Compact until he went to England with a petition signed by 27 000 electors. Let us follow his example. A us get out on Le ' r wrongs in a petition, signed by 100,000 electors, and I believe that Her Majesty and Her Ministers will heed our prayer and see that, at least, no further gerrymandering be permlited in Her ,Majesty's name," � - IT would be a good thing for Canada if she had in her Parliament a good many more nien o4' the stamp of Mr. John Charl' ton, ' who represents North Norfolk. Her people would need to blush leks frEquently for her political boodlers and bribers, and we would have vastly better laws on ourstatute books than can now befound there. .Nilr. Charlton is always foremost in the advocacy of every moral and social reform which has for its ob- i - ject the promotion of religion and the up- lifting of humanity,' and, despite the scoff- ings and snee.rs of those who desire darkness rather than light, he never wearies in well - doing. He again this session introduced his bill providing for the better observance of the Sabbath, but, as might be expected from a Houee constituted like the present one, it received scant support. "This bill aimed at the suppression of Sunday papers, the pre- venting of Sunday excursions by boat or otherwise ; the operating of the canals and railways on Sunday, and so on. It is sup- ported and earnestly desired, and has been petitioned in favor of, by the various religi- ous bodies in the country, but, for all this, when the question came to a test, the bill was smothered under a majority of more -_ . . oruc Ul 10f0tKI CV than two-tbirds,of the people's representa- tives. The great railway and steambdat . corporations are opposed to imob legislation, and, this being the came, Parliament, under � the circumstances, could scarcely be expect - I ed to support it. Vembers can stand, off I - their constituents on one pretext or another,, . . but if they go against the railway companies they lose their passes and other special . privileges which these corporations so liber- ally bestow—for a consideration. Again, a few days ago Mr. Charlton made a motion favoring a vote of the people on the Probl- bition question. This, also, be had to with- draw in order to save it from defeat, as at : � the session of Parliament a,year ago a Royal Commission was appointed to enquire into thesubject. It is not expected by any ,per - BOD that the Commiabion will fesult in any- thing ba - t expense, We hope, thereforep that next session Mr.. Charlton will bring forward both his measures again, aDd that the morality loving people of the country will see to it that he has a stronger support -in Parliament than he has yet received. A plebecite on the prohibition question is just what is needed. The politicians say they are willing to vote a prohibitory law so soon as the people are prepared for it. How are they to know whether or not the people . are prepared for it unless they try? . � FOR LONG the—Toronto Telegram cham- pioned Mr. D'Alton McCarthy, the some- what erratic member for North Simcoe,-7- : the gentleman who makes great pretensions to Protestantism and extreme political in- dependence, but who never allows his Protestantism or his independence to em- barrass his party, but 'it has now become disgusted with him, as it well may, and gives him a partiag- kick, as follows : "In his heart D'Alton McCarthy knows what he is fit for. His legal genius does not enable him to outgrow the stature of a back beach partisan, but he has tried to play a better part, and all unwittingly has been the means of accomplishing mueggood. The member for North Simeoe- is well used to giving ad- vice, but it for once.he could take inste�d of give, he would drop the part of a high- souled independent. The necessary alti- tuie of soul is lacking in his make up, He is a narrow and not too scrupulous partisan, and the smartest stroke of business h6 ever I �lid in his whole life was when he buncoed journals that ought to have more sense, in- . to advertisinig & petti-fogging politician ag a Great National Hero." - � . Tim Dundas Banner thus graphically . de- ecribes the absurdity of the position taken by the Dominion Government on the Edgar charges. It says : "The Government of which Sir Adolphe Caron is a member has itself picked out the charges on which Sir Adolphe is to be investigated, after which the evidence-takeu by the commissioner id to be handed over to the' Government to de- termine the verdict. It will be an odd thing to see Sir Adolphe being investigated before a commission of his -own choosing, answering an indictment of his own frarldiag, giving evidence as his own witness, and finally revising the case and de!iveriDg the verdict after the commission has handed in its report. Poob-bah in the play was not, -such a remarkable character after all if you only know where to look for him." - - THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT I . . (By Our Special Correspondent.) CrrrAWA, May 16th, 1892. The Redistribution Bill is on the cards of the House of Commons programme for this week. A day has yet to be fixed, however, for the beginning -of what will be the longest debate that has taken place since 1885, There is a report that Sir Adolphe Caron has prevailed upon the Government to agree to extend their Gerrymander to the Quebec District,but this of course is strongly oppoii- ed by the Ministers from the Montreal Dis- trict, Messrs. Chapleau and Ouim�e'. who wish to come into the next Parliament with . a large and important following drawn part- eral counties out of which the Bill euchres the Liberals, and do not de- sire tbat the leader in the Quebee District, Sir Adolphe CaroD, shall be auything like a rival in the importance of his following, One effect of the Bill was to arouse the electors of the -township of Clarence which is gerrymandered into another county than th� one to which it belongs and lead them to. ome up five hundred strong through a pour - F . ' ing rain and protest to the face of Sir John Thompson and Mr; Haggart against the pro- posal which, they sbewed, bad DO founda- tion in the excuse which ' Sir John Thompeoa offers for the attempt to� cut off the political head of,one of the Opposition. The whole Bill is an attempt to deprive ' the Opposition of re- presentatives to which they are entitled by virtue of their majority In the.eountry and is therefore a most tyrannical and unconstitu- tional measure of so grave a character that any other but a law abiding and conatitu- tional party would never allow a brute ma- jority in Parliament to: *pass it into law. Much less than this hag ended in a revolution, but the Liberals will continue to appeal to the moral sense of the people for support.,no matter how much that is blunted by the rude weapons of political warfare which the Government party are -using against them, I advise your readers to watch this forth coming debate and decide what reliance to place upon the Government which imposes upon Parliament by the will of a iubservient majority a measure which exceeds in in- iquity and shamelessness -_ the notorious Gerrymander of 1882. It is safe to say tbatq if it takes months, the opposition will fight the measure line by line and clause by clause and stubbornly oppose it at every stage. 1: MR. MCCARTHY'S COWARDICE. . ' . It was fully expected on both sides of the House that the second reading of Mr, Dal- ton McCarthy's Bill relegating to the North West Assemblythe, exclusive control of edu- cation and the use of the French an an offi. cial language, the order for which was so oftenpostponed from we convenience of Mr, McCarthy, would not have been moved . without due notice being given. It was, however, moved without an� preliminary notice and thb question put when two-thirds of the members were out of their seats,and in fact out of the buildiog al- together, for it was only a few minutes after the dinner hour and the absent members relied on the time being taken up by the mover and seconder giving t�ho House some reasons for the motion they *ere making aud by the leader of the House in stating the attitude of the Government upon the queg- tion. To the surprise of everyone, however, Mr. McCarthy sat like a dumb dog and con- tented h�mself with calling for the yeas and Days, w4ich resulted in thirty-three mem- bers voting for the Bill and one hundred and thirty- two against it. No member of the Government voted for the Bill,but one of the Liberal leaders, the Hon, L, fl, Davies, did, The proportion of the members was about the same between the two parties, Next day, Mr, McCarthy, --having learned of the, I row that his management of the affair had kicked up, tried to explain that he had been ' taken by o urprisewhen thememberswere call- ed in and said that he had intended to speak onthe Bill. He moved torestore the order for the second reading to the Order Paper. As the majority of the House was against this, Mr. McCarthy agreed to withdraw the mo. tion, but Mr. Armstrong, of Middlesex, and , . - i ) I I I I 1 3 — , - ,_tl - ­ — - �11_ - - �,__­_ I I ­ -1 - � � � � - - oi7v . �t I— I . ,_ ��7 , - . r . � � i I - - : I I . � i I - . . � I - I . __ � I Mr. Soriver, of Huntingdou,!Liberals,ob- t q , � i . � 14� mills it is not to be supposed that I I I I ,-when the report was presented and made a disclosures made. jected to the withdrawal an4 the motion these men will return. i, i strong comment on the -uelty, he said, The most subtle cases of ct was then put to the House and was lost by a winning the highest respect of all. 1dr, Pomeroy still survives, although in very EAST YORKo i I I I seemed to be perpetrated by persons of ap- large majority.
