Mr. Martin's Triumphal Defence

} REVISING BARRISTERS. |

[From Haneard.]

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries —1 will not go beyond my own province, For years and years the law was adminis- tered in the province of Prince Edward Island by the county court judges; yet, be- cause they administered it fairly you dis- misecd them from their positions and ap- pointed the president and secretary of Liberal Conservative associations. Mea who came fromthe committee rooms of the Tory party sat upoa the bench to deter- mine what men should vote for them.

Mr. Sproule—I wou ld like to ask the hon. gentleman if he is aware that nine out of every ten of the revising officers in Ontario are county court judges.

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— Iam rot aware of if; and, as faras they are county court judges, no unfair criti- cism can be passed upon them. 1 am speaking of those I know of.

Mr. Sproule—How can the hon. gentle- man say a large m* jority of them?

The Mini-ter of Mariue and Fisheries— Because I believe the majority were so. I waa not aware that the majority of the revising Officers-in Ontario were county court judges. I am told that in the pro- vince of Quebec it is not so. But 1 am speaking of the part of the Dominion 1] know of.

Mr. Sproule—The hon. gentleman spoke of them as a whole, and said the large majority of them.

‘The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— Well, the hon. gentieman can give his explanation so far as the Province of On- tario is concerned. I can make my State- ment so far asthe Province of Prince Edward Island 1s concerned, aod I know what I speak, and the same rule applies to many parts of Nova Scotia. : Mr. Powell—Will the hon. gentleman state what constituencies in Prince Edward Island his statement applies to?

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— Fast and West Quaen’s, West Prince, and

K ine’s— every one of them. There was not a county court judge in avy one of

these ridings ijn the Province of Prince Edward Island who wae not dismissed, end there was notarevising officer ap- pointed whom they did not take right out of the committee rooms—some of them the secretaries and presidents of the Tory Associations in Prince Edward Island.

Mr. Macdonald (Kinga, P E. I.,)—-Is the hon. gentleman aware of apy wrong action having been done by any of these offi-

8?

The Miniater of Marine and Fisheries— I am not talking about wrong actions.

Mr. Macdonald (King’s, P. B. I.,)— They are just as honorable as you are, sir. The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— Lam not talking about the class of men tney appointed. I am talking about what they hoped to do—what there intentions were when they appointed them; and I say that when they gerry mandered the Island and appointed these revising ottivers they had only one object In view—

Mr. Macdonald (King’s, P. E, 1..)—To give you a good, safe, conetituency, wasn’t it ? ;

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— But they did not accomplish their object, owing to the independence of the people. Mr. Martin—Will the hon. gentleman allow me to ask him a question 2. Wie he please tell “the House what president and what secretary of @ Liberal Conserva- tive Association were appointed revising officers ? '

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries — Mr. Smallwood was the secretary of @ Liberal Conservative Association for the paet ten vears. -

Mr. Martin- Where “was he revising officer ?

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— Either in East Prince or West Prince— Mr. Charles R. Smallwood.

Mr. Martin—Whe was the president ?

Tne Minister of Marine aud Fisheries— M r. McQuarrie and Mr. Scewart,

Mr. Martin—Neither statement i* true.

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— Well, there is no use of bandying a lie across the House.

Mr. Martin—Neither Mr. Stewart nor Mr. Smallwood was a secretary or presi~ dent of a Liberal-Conservative Associa- tion.

The Mivister of Marine and Fisheries — I know whereof I am talking. Mr. Mc- Quarrie was the president of the Prince County Association, and Mr. Smallwood has been secretary tor the last ten years.

Mr. Martin—So far as East Queen’s, the district I represent, is concerned, the hon. gentleman 18 mistaken.

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— I am not mistaken. I ran in West Queen’s myself, and Mesere. Smallwood and Stewart were the two revising officers —one for the east and one forthe west.

But we need not get down to parish poli- tics,

An bon. member—Come out of them.

I was not in them, but I was trying to pull those out who got themselves in. arguing that the Government were no trying to gain any polit adopting the provincial franchise. provinces of the

Mr. Macdonald’s Apt Inter-

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries—

is under Conservative rule, and government, neither L iia! nor Tory but a mixture of both, so thatthe Li

party are not the ruling party ip the uiffer- ent pruvirce 8, nor have they .he contol of the lists in those provinces. 1 say that the introduction and carriage of this Bill weuld involve the surrender of powers which the Government of tbe day now possess under the Dominion Franchise Act, with respect to the appointment of

revising cfficers and all the other extraordinary aud indefensible powers conferrd upon the Goverament of the day. There are many good

reasons for our adopting the provincial franchise. In the first place, because of its simplicitv. The lists are made up by a class cf offisials who live in and under- stand the couatry and know the peuple. They are made up with little expense, and there is no danger of confusing the elec- tors by having two different kinds of franchise. Everybody will admit that it is for the benefit of the electorate that the mode of voting and the means of ascertain- ing whether a man has a vote or not, should be made more simple, and if you have the one list which entitles a man to vote under the provincial franchise and under the Domiuion franchise, you simpli- fy the matter so that 1 comes within the knowledge of the meanest and poorest elector. He is not confused by being told: you are on the provincial franchise but not on the Dominica franchise. Again it is desirable to adopt this measure because it is a much more expensive

plan. Hon.gentlemen opposite concede that. Our present law has cost this

country for ihe imperfect revision we have | had during the past, few ycars—not @

revision every year but every tw) or three l ycars—over @ million dollars of public money, and that does not begin to repre- sent what the revision has cost the peop'e. Tam speaking within bounds wLen I say that it cost from $200 to $500 to the indi- vidual candidate himself for each revision besides th2 millioa dollars spoken of as a cost to the country. The burden has become intolerable, and it was largely on that account that the Liberal party adyocated the adoption of the pro- vincial franchise. This meastre should be adopted because experience, the best test in the world, has shown that the principle of adopting the provincial frag- chise isa good one. From 1867, when confederation was first called to existence, up to 1885, that system was in vogue and it worked without complaint. If experience bas proved ita good system, if it is inex- pensive, and simple and easily under-tood, it has three qua iizations which ou sbht to recommend it to the people. Under these circumstances I bad the honour in this House, some years ‘ago, of moving that if the provincial lists were not adopt- ed as the basis of a Dominion franchise list, if the House was determineed to retain the making up of those lists and the appointment of officers, [sad thatl for cne was in favor of manhood suffrage as the franchise which should be adopted, and I adhere to that view now; but inas- much as the great province of Quebec is wedded to its own system and will not accept manhood suffrage, | cast my vote in favor of the adoption of the provincial franchises. We will thus save a million dollars s{uandered in this attempt to build upa ath hist, aad will introduce a simple, plain, easily understood system, under which the electors, as a whole, can record their votes in favor of the cand- dates of their choice.

MR. MARTIN 8 DEFENCE.

Mr. Martin.—Mr. Speaker, I wish to call the attention of the House for a moment to a statement made by the Minister of Marine and Fisheries as regards Prince Edward Island. I du not suppore that the hon. gentleman (Mr. Davies) intended in- tentionslly to misrepresent the facts in Prince Elward Island, but he evidently was o eager to make a point in favour of the Bill which he supported, that he went down to the province of Priuce Edward Island for arguments and perbaps uninten- tionally misrepresented the facts. He told the House that the. presidents and the secretaries of the Wir nl Coneeryativ associations were pitchfurked into the positions of revising barristers in that province, and he instanced the name of Chas R. Smatiwood. Now, would the hon. gentleman (Mr. Davies) be surprised to know that Mr. Charles R. Smailwood was not a revising barrister atall. I think the hon. gentleman, in his eagerness to make out a case, fell into a mistake, and I would advise him to be a little more care- tul. Ibavethe report of the Auditor General, and I will read to the Minister ot Marine and Fisheries, and to the Hou-e & list of the revising barristers in Prince Edward Island, and if he can recowcile that list with the names of supposed gentle- men which he led the House to believe were revising officers in that province, J shall leave it for him to do so. For King’s, the name of the revising officer is John S. 4 Macdonald. Was he either the president or the secretary of a Liberal-Conservative association in Prince Edward [sland ?

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries— I believe he was.

Mr Martin—I leave it to the }on. mem- ber for Kings (Mr. Macdonald) to answer that question, but my information is that he was not. In East Prince Judge Mac- leod is the revising officer. Was he president or a Secretary of a Conservative association? For West Prince N. Me- Quarrie is the revising officer. The bon. gentleman may say something about bim— I do not know, butat least in four ports out of five he is wrong —
