White, on the subject of Continental Union, Mr. White makes ont about as strong a case an can be made out on his side of.the question, but still we cannot see that he shakes one iota the position THE EXPOSITOR takes on this subject. All the benefits he depicts as likely to result from Political Union, would be attainable by . reciprocal trade relations .between the -two countries, while the natural affinities which . he poinu out as existing between contiguous portions of the two countries could be avail- ed of as fully and to. as great advantage to both under a reciprocity treaty. In this way, as we have frequently said, Canada would derive all the advantages of Political Union and would not be subjected to -any of ,-.� the serious disadvantages. We- could re- - tain our own political institutions and work . , - them in our own way, and at the same time collect our revenue in Bach a manner as might seem best to our- own interests. The Americans. are . � just as likely to assent to Reciprocity as they are to Annexation". By adopting a free trade policy and giving to every country free access to our markets that would extend a like favor to us, we would not be - offering any menace to the United States, and would. not be giving them any cause to retaliate. If they should see fit to accept our offer, which we believe , they would, we -It and good, it would be to the, mutual ad -vantage of both. If, however, they should take the contrary course, and decide to keep up the tariff wall on their side despite the overtures thus made to them, the fault would be their own'if they shatuld find it difficult to prevent the smug- gler from climbing over the wall. As to their resorting to ar M-9 to force as to keep ; up our tariff fence or protect theirs, as Mr. White seems to think they might do, we would h . ave to run the risk of that. Mr. White should bear in mind that Canada has behind her a power even greater than the American Repablic, great.aB it is,,,and weak u Canada is in itself, Bilother Jonathan is too Gate a eustorner to try to enforce her compliance with unjust demands, knowing that he would have to deal not alone with Canada bat with Great Britain also. So � that we fancy Mr. White need have - no ' further fears on that score. We are in just as little danger from earn- ' mercial retaliation no long as we do what is . right and &at only a neighborly part. The Americans are quite as anxious to trade with I us as we are with them, and Uncle Sam is not such a fool an to bite off his nose to I spite hia face. Besides this, our railways and canals are equally as essential to him as his are. to us. In reference to the enviable financial position occupied by the United States,- and to prove which Mr. White quotes figures : This but shows one of the great defects of the American system as well :8of our own, and which we desire to rem- dy. The Government, in order to protect and appease the combines who practically have the control, collect far more money from the people than is required f9r the /11 proper government. of the c*htry, and, consequently, it is wasted in riotous and ex. travagant expenditure. The masses are tkus not only bled by the combines . but by their own -Government for the benefit of - practical, boodling politicians of whom there ^ . is a large army. And what is worse, ' by long persistence in this iniquitous system, the monopolists and the boodlers have both politied parties there by the throat, so that the prospect of a change is not even in eight. Mr. White ta,kes entirely' too gloomy a view of Canada's position. Revolting at the I dishonesty and extravagance of his party leaders, and seei . ng the futility and injustice of their cherished fiscal policy, he evidently becomes discouraged and flies to an opposite extreme. Canada is not the poor,miserable, barren waste that he now seems to see it . It is true it has suffered and is still suffering , severely from bad mitnagerrient,-in fact,had it been less resourceful it is possible it would ere this occupy about as bad a plight as Mr. White thinks it does. The fact that it has hold its own so well under the plun. dering system it haa been subjected to for the past fifteen years, speaks volumes for its natural resources. it - is, by nature, one of � the brightest, fairest, most fertile spots on the face of the e%rth. Its soil and climate cannot be excelled; its water ways are sec- ond to none in the world, while its inland seas and rivers teem with inexhaustible wealth,and underneath our feet there is a mineral deposit which only needs developing - to make her not only - wealthy and prosper- ous but powerful, There is no other coun- try in the world. more richly endowed by nature, and bat for the evil machinations of man there is no country that would be more prosperous. Corruption and Restriction are the blots that block our progress and mar our prospects for prosperity. Free Trade and Direct Taxation will remove these ,- the first b,y admitting the pure, free light of competition and the second by cutting off the supplies and enforcing legitimate and none but legitimate expenditure. This is a better, an easier, a shorter and in every way a more .satisfactory road to national pros- perity and greatness than Continental Union, even were it all that Mr. White believes it to be, and we should like to see our worthy young friend &band -on his will -o -the -wisp . . - - scheme and devote . his splendid abilities to- wards moulding public opinion in this. di- � rection, and with a view to the accom- plishinent of such a splendid result. -We might &Is,) say a few words here to our esteemed friend Mr. Wright, another worthy Tory who hag' sense enough and p96- triotism. enough to be dissatisfied with things as they are. Mr. Wright, however, places ezitirely1oo much stress on the recent elec. tion utterances of Lord Salisbury. There are, no doubt, a few in England who would , � like to have their industries protected, but - they are evidently very few. Lord Salis- . bury is, just now looking for votes and is anxious to get them frorn any quarter, and his extremely guarded utterances were made solely with the view of tickling these par- ties and securing their good-wiii. He has - done the same thing before. The reception accorded his utterances by the masses, how- ever, shows that Protection can have no lodging . place in the minds of the British people. And, why should it? England has prospered under Free Trade as no nation on the face of .the earth has prospered, and she would be fo O'lish indeed to'discard the.policy that has made her grest,wealth - y and power- ful. If Canada could only secure a tithe of the prosperity that England has achieved, the exodus which Mr. Wright deplores would soon cease. I . , dir EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY,"� Sir Oli- ver Mowat gave to the people of Woodstock last week, and we have reason to be proud of a Christian Premier, who champion@ the faith. But there is a fly in the ointment, and a black -bottle fly at that. It is no evi- dence of Christianity for Sir Oliver and his Government to be in partnership with the devil in prosecuting the most prolific and successful business of hell. Sir Oliver can prove his right to a chivalric title and giv . e a stronger evidence of Christianity than all the'lectures of a life time by simply dissolv- ing partnership with the cursed liquor traffic, and declaring that if it must exist it shall exist without his' sanction and CODsent. There is no power in the empire to- compel Sir Oliver to issue a single license or privi- lege to the baneful business. The above choice morsel is from the Tem- pl&r, a temperance paper recently started in Hamilton, and which seems to be conducted with greater zeal than discretion. As may be seen from the above sample it is more addicted to the use of strong language than 0 logic. It should practise what it preaches, and cultivate moderation, in language as well as in other things. -It should also be j uet, even if it can nothe generous, towards those against whom it seems to have a grudge. It is quite true there is no power in . th-e empire to compel Sir Oliver to issue lic.enses, but what would the Templax have him do ? So . long as liquor is made it will be cold and consumed. Sir Oliver or his Govern- ment have notthe power to prohibitits manufacture, They have to deal with the matt . er as ,they find tit. They have only two courses open to them. The one is that which they have adopted, viz.: To regulate and keep it'in check by the licensing system ; the other is to allow it free scope, without ' regulation, check, or hindrance of any sort. With all due deference to the opinions of the Templar, we affirm that the former is im. measurably to be preferred in the interests of temperance and morality, and it has the ap- prov &I of many� who are just as sincerely op- posed to the traffic as the Templar is. The sneers of the Templar at a gentleman of Mr. Mowat's moral and religious standing come with very bad grace from a journal of its professions, while its continued abuse of the Ontario, Government, the only Govern- ment in Canada that has ever done anything substantial to aid in the suppression of the traffic, looks very much as if it is actuated by other motives than a desire for the ad- vancement of temperance principles. This suspicion also is strengthened by its ap- parently studied silence concerning the course of the Dominion authorities in balk- ing every proposition' that comes up having for its view the encouragement of prohibi- tory legislation. -If the - Templar does not look out, it will be classed in the Same cate- gory, and deservedly so, as some of the I Equal Rights agitators, who rode the old Protestant horse at his best gait, so long as they thought ' they could run down Mowat, but, when foiled in their object, they quietly dismounted and turned the old animal out on the commons to starve, as they had no further use for him. � I . . . : . I I I TH %Toronto Empire says : " There i4` hardly a section of country where evidence I does not present itself that the National Policy is building up industries and giving. employment to our people." In support of this statement it quotes from the Stratford Herald, in which mention is made of the great prosperity of the North Ameri-can ,Mill Building Company, of that city, of which Mr. J. P. Macdonald, it says, has re- cently been appointed r,resident. The es.' . .. tablishment, the Herald saye, - is running night and day and a great proFortion of the orders come from Manitoba and the -North- west. Now, we are sure every person will be pleased to know that Stratford has so prosperous an establishment. But, is it true that it owes its prosperity to the National Policy? We fancy there is room for doubt on this point. The President, we are sure, does not think so. He is an ardent and ; I able advocate of Free Trade. Re ought to be a better judge in matters of this kind than the writer in the Empire and if he t - hought the prosperity of the establishment in which he is so deeply interested was due to the National Policy it is scarcely reasonable to suppose that he would be so strongly oppos- - eff . to that policy as he is. He is a shrewd, thinking -man and his knowledge is not has - ed upon theory, but upon experience and he knows that the contentions of the Empire are erroneous. Re, no doubt, knows that . his business is prosperous in spite of the National Policy and that instead of its being aided by that nostrum it is only hamp- ered and hindered. He also, doubtle3g, knows that if the various articles which compose the raw material for his machinery were admitted into this country free, that he . I could produce that machinery so much cheaper that he would be entirely -independ- ent of the National Policy, and that instead of having to send his finished product so far as Manitoba and the Northwest he would be able to sell it in the adjoining States of the neighboring Republic. In this way he would make a�p much money; and his. pres. - ent customers in Manitoba and the North - � I west a uld purchase their machinery nearer home ad save, not only the heavy cost of trannportation, but the duty levied under the National Policy, an well. The origival producer, who, In the long run, always ban to bear the burden, would be immensely ! . benefitted and the ODly ones injured would be the wealthy railway corporations and the useless, tax-eatiDg Government barnacle wad ! boodler. Sonoma" REFiERRiNa to the binder �twine question the Dundas Banner soyij: 11 We hear that the Mowat ! Government is considering the question of coming to the rescue of the farm. ing community by starting the manufacture of binder twine in the Central Prison. There �re always several hundred prisonern in that institution, whose labor must be utilized in some way if they are not to be kept in idle- ne8s. In 1875 the Opposition made a great outcry because prison labor was allowed to come in competition with outside labor. In the binder twine industry this would not be. The only factory'is in Halifax, there being none in Ontario'at all, and even the Halifax factory is I under the control of the American monopoly. What a capital move it would be in the interest of the farming community it Mr. Mowat would set the inmates, of the Central Prison at work making binder twine' which coul& L be. sold at a very little over, the cost of production, There is no work at which the inmates could be put which would come less in1competition with outside labor . and none through which a better turn could be done the agricultural class. We hope thd Mowat Government will go ahead with the idea and carry it to completion, giving the farmerB of Ontario, and the other Provinces as well, if the supply can be turned out, relief from at least one of the intolerable ' burdens placed upon their shoulders by the Ottawa Government which it persistently refuses to lift. If Sir Oliver Mowat will! give the farmers cheap binder twine in sphe of the Government at Ottawa, he will add one more to the many good turns he has done them." .- HoN. EDWARD BLAKE haa, published a I I sAlatement to! the effect that he has decided to accept the invitation of the Irish Home Rule leadera and if they secure for him a safe constituency he will run for it at the approaahing general election in Ireland. This, no doubt, will be done, so that it is in every way probable Mr. Blake will be a member of the British House of Commons . � after the elention and in the - event of the success.of the Liberal party he will be a member of the Government. The State- ment is also made, although not confirmed, that Lord Salisbury has intimated to Sir. Charles Tupper that the Under Secretary - .ship of State for the Colonies in his admin- ietration is a ' t his dispoeal, if he will eecure a constituency. -Latest advices State that 1N,fr. Blake has been offered and has accepted the candi- dature for South Longford, Ireland, and that he will leave Canada shortly to prose- cute his canvass in that constituency, . . - � MR. WELDON, a Conservative, condemned the gerrymander of 1882, but said he was consistent in'opposing its repeal because its repeal would crqate confusion and because several general plections' had taken place under the bill of 1882. . - I So says a Parliamentary report. This Mr. Weldon is a top lofty Supporter of theGov- arnme'nt from New Brunswick. He used to be an " independent" Conservative, some. thing of the Kirkpatrick pattern. He has, I however, of late been losing his independ- ence and this Session he has beei� as sub- servient a supporter of the Government as Dr. Montague, Sam Hughes, or any of the other professionail politicians who in- . feat the House, and while talking one way, hag frequently voted the other, Now, we would like our readers just to keep their eyes on this Mr -Weldon and see if before very long he, d � oes .not drop into a snug Gov- ernment berth with a salary of four or five thousand dollars a year. He is , shaping in that direction. . . - THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT � � (133, Our Special Correspondent.) OrrAWA, June 20th, 1892, The time of the House during the whole of last week was, with the exception of a few hours, devoted to the Gerrymander. This measure is being fought steadily and determinedly by the Opposition, but it in scarcely defended by Miniateiialists who simply Bit a.nd ehout " Question " each time an Opposition spea,ker sits down in order to force another Opposition speaker to his I I - feet, or, in ddault of that, to force the Bill i I through. - I - XV ]5UVW LHU tyrannical and outrageous nature of this Bill it is only necessary to quote the extreme language in which the i Opposition are compelled to frame their warnings of possible consequences, Indeed one of thek trusted leaders of the Liberal .party hinted that if this bill was forced through in its present shape it might be nec. essary to re8ort to physical force in order that one of the great parties in the Stat I a . might obtain a recognition of its just rights, It was the Hon. David Mills -who said, 1, I do not know, if this measure be adopted, what may be the consequences of it, While you may begin the contest by an intellec. tual fight in Parliament, it is very likely to grow to something far more serious, as this is an attempt to establish by unfair means the permanent supremacy of one party over the other; In my opit,ion it is absolutely impossible to maintain this union if this policy of one of, the great parties in the State making war on the other great party is to be sanctioned." Mr, Mills pointed out ' that Confederation was established irr ac- cordance with the spirit and principles of � 1 British Parliamentary institutions, w3d to use the power of the Executive to establish� . the ascendancy of party was un -British, and violated the spirit of,the Constitution, He declared that this Bill tied hand aDd foot, I not only the minority in this House, but prevented the electors of the Dominion from - gi-ving a free expression to their opinion. He warned the Government that their course was calculate d to degrade public sentiment and further embitter public life, Hon. H. L. Davies, the Liberal from Prince Edward Island, described the provi- sious of the Bill applicable to his Island, as drawn solely with the view of promoting the interests of the Conservative party in that Province, which is so liberal that in the last Parliament tfiere was not a single Conserva- tive returned from it. His own county was so gerrymandered as to be twisted out of all shape, and if he himself were not defeated it would not be the fault of this Bill. A vote was taken on Mr. Somerville's amendment to confine the Bill to those' Pro- vinces where the census made it imperative. This was rejected by 95 to 60, a Government majority of 35. The main motion -for the second reading of the Bill was then put, and Mr. Laurier called for another division, — I I � � I which resulted in a straight party vo o to 60, a Governmelat majority of 37. tV§ the Government claims to havd�'a total majority in the House of 66, it is evident that! they could not whip up more independeaht,Vrided Conservative members to swallow t � Bill. Messrs. Dalton McCarthy, O'Brien, Adams, and McNeil were among the promit)e6tpon- I � . servatives who refr ined from voting, but it would have been m:re to their cred live remained in their seats and voted straight against the Government in accordance with their convictions. The House then went into Committee on the Bill and passed the first clause, which declares that the House of Commons shall consist of 213 members. That was o I nes- day night, and when the House adNrned on Friday night they were still discussing the second clause, 'absolutely no progress having been made, except in the.wayiof de- bate. It is a misnomer however, to call it " a debate, for, with the exception of an oc- casional member anpporting the Government, no one on that side of the House attempts . a defence of the Bill. There was just one speech, and that from Sir John Thot'npgoii, in which he attempted to answer the ques- tion why the outrageous bill of 1882 7as not being repealed, by saying that it wiks ten years old and he did not wish to disturb the lines or'boundaries under which thr4 gen- eral elections had been held. i Mr. Mills, of Bothwell, moved an amend- ment to the effect that Ontario should be di- vided into municipal counties without break- ing down the boundaries of any c6unty or of any city, and giving to each county the number of representatives to which it would ,be entitled by population. This wan n the I principle for which Mr. McCarthy, a ' )romi- Dent Conservative, strongly contende( ' . Mr. McCarthy, who was in the House, en lorsed the amendment, and then turned his atten- tion to the Minister of Railways, and lenied . that he was responsible any more th a any other Conservative member for the ;ill of 1882, as Mr. Haggart had charged t at he wets. I Mr. Haggart, wit regard to who I Mr. McCarthy had d 01' red he had not7fallen so low as to reco;ni e as his -chief, to'd the House something Ech will bring i�. Me- Cartby greatly into discredit, namel � , that Mr. McCarthy, during last session, af �� r the death of Sir John McDonald, urge Government to bring down the Re-Distribu. tion Bill at once, b!causa a number o.� bye - elections were coming on and the Govern- ment would need to be in a position t i meet them. The Minister of Railways co�demn- ed Mr. McCarthy for making his 'motion , earlier in the debate, a direct want-of-confi- deuce motion. This brought Mr. McCarthy I . again to his feet, who declared. that he was not to be the obedient slave of any party in that House. If the Government did.not want him to he a follower -they had onfyTto Bay so. He supported the trade andgeneral policy of the Government, and if he thought there was any danger to the trade policy of the Government he would not be embarrass- ing them as he now was. I . . Sir John Thomp�son lectuted Mr McCar- thy mildly, and acknowledgM I that' he was not a slave of the party. He -rather caught Mr. McCarthy, who had said that the Gov- ernment was strong, enough to do ri ht, by saying that this iml,)Iied that if the �overn- ment was weak, ib might do wrong The Minister of Justice announced that tqe Gov- erDment had determined to drop the i clause 11 in the bill transferring the township f C ar- ence from Russell Jnto Prescott, th uJ aban- doning one of the 3vorst features of th Bill. This is the first fruit of the persiste t fight in which the Opposition have engagel ever since this Bill was introduced on the 9th of April last, I � I , Mr . Laurier pointed out that as no;rcagon was given for the transfer of Clarenc when it was proposed, and now it was ubandoned without any reason being given why it was abandoned, it was clear there was no princi- ple underlying the Bill., and that the changes in it were arbitary changes rl�ade to I suit the purposes of the Government,�, ,,,. Mr.. Patterson, of Brant, showed t _ � . lowness of Sir J?hn Thompson's pre4tisions that he did not wish to disturb e�isting boundaries, by asking why, if that w�s the case, they disturbed 21 seats in Ontatio and 25 in Quebec by this Bill ? Sir John thomp- son replied that it was in order to gi Ye ad- ditional represents,tion to thecities, But Mr. Patterson met thi ' a by Showing ttat the three or four additional representativ3s giv- en to IM ontreal and Toronto could ha% e been supplied by the union of counties whiah had only oDe-half the required population, but which small quantities were left undisturbed because they were Conservative. So the discussion went on until midnight on Friday, the Opposition having the Oiscus- sion pretty much all in their own , ands. ,,�,v( Oucasionall there was a little e, spat I across the 2oor of the House, general� good natured, but sometimes a little bitter� , as in the following instance. Mr. Wellon, of Albert ' New Brunswick, was telligg the ' House that he considered the bill of 11882 a gerrymander for party purposes, and ,trying to,explain that he wa ' s consistent in surport- ing the present bill which re-enacts t9e in- � fairly of 1882, when he was asked a! quea- � tion by -Mr. Pattereon, of Brant, and refus- ed to reply. Mr. McMullen, a Liberal, said, 11 It does not suit his purpose fo re- ply," and Mr. Weldon, evidently annoyed at being cornered by Mr. Patterson, poured the vials of his wrath upon Mr. McMullen by Baying that he did not propose to bandy words with the member for North Welling- ton, as he remembered the Spanish rproverb " that it was waste of Soap to scrub an ass' head with it." Mr. Weldon, it is well known, was once confined in the lunatic asylum, and Mr. McMullen did not propose to sit quietly under that gentleman's insult- ing epithet, and so he rose and told the house that no one would use such language as Mr. -Weldon had used unless he ere a half cured lunatic. The shot told, a d Mr. Weldon got up and left the House. Sir John Thompson, annoyed at not being able to force this bill through in short or- der, has given notice that he will as the House to sit in the mornings and all ti rough the day, late into the night, commencing on Wednesday. This is an attempt by the , L Government to use their big majority to bear down the protests of .the Opposition against a bill which is nothing short of an act to stifle public opinion, and which re. enacts an Act now admitted by Conserva- tives, as well as Liberals, to have been a partizan, unjust, and cowardly gerry- mander.
