Saturday quoted the

Huntington Gleaner,a Liberal newspaper,

| | in Opposition to the measure, and today the

, following from the Monetary

papercr: dited with being favorably disposed

towards tbe Liberals, is respectfully sub- mitted :— :

my : i ‘Under the constitutional act which

; a) qn created the existing Canadian cor fed

; ‘3 ¥ eration, & redistribution of the cunstituen -

3 ciee which elect membere to the house of

il} j commons, must take place after the taking pe i

of each decennial census. The next census

will fallto be taken in 1901. The prin- ciple wich ought to guide she dietctbeaton of the re presentation 18, as nearly as prac- | ticable, eqvality of population to members. | An «8 juz] number of people in any part of | the couutry are entitled to au equal re- | presentation. This was called, io its in

ception, representation by population. To consecrate this principle as a rule of con- stitutional law and practice, the country was agitated and convulsed for a number of years, till at last che principle becoming sacred in the eyes of the people, swept away al! opposition and met what was practically and universal acceptarce. The | simple thing to do, in & | cases of redistri- bution, is to adhere to this principle, to give it first place, to make it supreme. Adherence to county boundaries, in the formation of political constituencies, is desireable, 1p giving supremacy to the principle of representation by population, aod no farther. To safeguard the princi ple of representation by population it would bave been weli if the constitution had provided against the creation of up- equel conetituencies by the process of redistribution.”

The Halifax Herald says this statement of the Monetary Times is eminently cor~ rect, and comments as fcllowa :—

“Adberecce to cov: very well, so long as the principle of representation by population is not too flagrantly violated; but when it comes to giving 15,000 people as much representa tion as 50,000, adberence to them is noth- ing sLortofan outrage. The central idea of representation should be representation, and, as near as possible, a vote in one dia- tri et shoald have exactly the same force {aaa vo'e in any other dietrict. Neitber } county boundaries por anything else ebould stand in the way of equal and just representation,”

THE FUTURE OF CANADA.

Mr. Foster, ex-minister of Finance, spoke elequently of Canada end her resources.

Regarding the future of Canada he said :— “We in Canada are patriotic and intend

We will stay in our nortbern part ofthe continent and work out our own gcvcrnmental salva- tion. We hope that we will not | always be a colonial poseession | with no voice in the great movements of the empire.
