THE PARLIAMENT OF CANADA

Nicholas Flood Davin Heard From.

THE GOVERNMENT FALSE TO ITS PRINCIPLES

Corruption in Quebec --Richardson, of

Lisgar, Thrown Down.

[SpectaLto tHe Examixer]

Orrawa, March 25.—A _ five hour speech on the address was delivered by N F. Davin.

He charged the Governmeat with be- ing false to its pledges.

“Where,” he asked “is the Liberal party today? Its leaders are in power, but the party is in opposition,—for its principles have been betrayed. Wanting sincerity

and wanting insight they have touched , nothing that they have not deformed.

Rufus Pepe eaid that he saw signs of a: general election in the threat of the gerry- u ander bill. He warned the Government that the Conservatives would not leave t' e House of Commons until they sould go to the pol!s on even terms. The acts of the Government would be closely observed and iuvestigated if it took all summer. Canada, he declared, is at present sufferiag from a rule of corruption such as has never before been known.

The powers of the Liberal party had been used in Quebec to crush out prohibi- tion. More than forty thousand votes had been cast in Quebec against prohibition after the polls had been closed.

Mr. Richardson, M. P. for Liegar, has been thrown down bv the Liberals. They did not invite him to the caucus of the westerners and substituted Bostock as the western liberal whip. This, it is said, has been done at Sifton’s diztation, his ani. mosity againgt Richardson being very etrong.

TARIFF TINKEERING.

Liberal Promises in Opposition not Kept.

Hore George E. Foster iv the course of bis speech on the address said :

“The next thing, he says they did was toreform the tariffand to reform it to the great ealisfaction of the peopleof this country, @ great majority at jeast. Bat is he explicit enough when he thought the only daty he had coasistent with his pro- mises was to retorm the tariffin ihe way in which he has doneit. Of late it has beew customary for someof the Ministers and some of the party press to take the bold ground thatthe Government have carried Out in ite entirety their whole pledge tothe people with reference to the tariff and fiscal policy. Mr. Siften aud

opportuuity of reading the opinions of a | few ot them fiom the report of the Domi- niou Liberal convention, out of an authori- tative publication. What was the opinion | of Sir Oliver Mowat? He was brought in asthe good man with Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere to seize on the other more wicked members of the Government end make a fairly reputable administration if they came into power. Sir Oliver Mowat said: “After the next general election, I

hope it may thoronghly understood by the

whole country that it wae at the Liberal conven'ion, beld at Oitawain June, 1893,

that protection and bad government and consequent political unrest amongst our people received their deathblow.” In the very beart of that great convention of

Liberals, whea the opinion of that convention was known and canyass sed and when its pronouncements

were decided upon, the Premier declared

Mr. Mulock have taken that ground in speeches which they have made very late ly. They have declared openly te the people that the Govermment have formed everything which they led the electors of the couniry before 1896 to be- lieve that they would perform.

PUBLIC FAITH BETRAYED.

Sir, ihis is aquestion which cannot be jeft just in that conditione It isa matter

which invelves the good faith of public |

mep. It is a matter which involves truth ani honesty in high places. It is a matter which involves the demoralization or the

ennobling of the public life of Canada,and I ‘

lay it to the charge of my right hon, friend and the gentlemen who sit with him, that they bave been guilty in this respect of set- ting into operation in this country a malign influence from the very highest poiats cf politics which is eating down into the honest and straightforward principle in all ranks ot society. With what holy horror he would draw his skirt» away from amen who would beso buse and dishonest as ‘co take a couple of dollars for bis voile. My hon’ friend to belive him, even though he associated wth the Merciers aod with the Pacauds, would draw away in holy horror from a man who would be so abandoned politically as to take a two dollar bill out of his pocket and offer it to a poor man for hie vote. But he sits in his high position and holds hie head aloft and looke as innocent as a cherub when he has, a+prime minister now, and as the leader formerly of @ party that went from ove end of this country to the other saying: “Gentlemen, the Government of the present day bases its tariff policy upon the principle of protection which ia a robbery aud afraud. Put them out and put us in, and we will base our tariff upen a policy which has every vestige of protec~ tion taken out of it”— And when the honest eleciorate of this country took him at his word and elected him and his fellow nmem-~ bers and they became a Government, they utterly repudiated that policy and snapped their fiugers in the face of the honest elec~ tors who believed them then, but who will not believe them afterwards,

Sir, the crime of corruption by the dollar bill is a veniel and unmentiona} le thing in comparison with the crime of corruption of public men who will make such pledges as that, and will utterly flout and scorn them after getting into office. My hon. friend poses as a man who would not. What did he say? What hesaid was he would to God that he might never get power by meaus such as he referred to in the case of members on that side of the House. He has posed in that light of purity for a great many years What lower depth of degradation can a public man sink to than to make his solemn and honorable prom- ises to the people at large in their confi* dence and get their votes and then ensp his fingers in their face and refuse to carry out those pledges? . Would to God. he said, that he might never have power if be had to get it by dishonorable means. He sits there to-day and his followers sit with him, because they got volea, got money, got in- flaence in a dishonoratle way and used it to their own profit aud theirown advan~ tage.

MR, SIETON AYSWEKED. They have fulfilled ell their promires,

said Mr, Sifton. They bave not fulfilled their promiscs at all on the tariff question, and they will not deceive the people by getting up with brazen faces and decl sring sgainst

the fall ligbt of the people’s knows ledge, that they bave kept promises which they have notkept. What were the pledges made by them—the pledges of their con- yentions, the p edges of their leaders? I am going to give you some of them. But first Jet me have # word with my hon. friend, Mr. Sizton, who is uothing, if not subtle and somewhat ingenious. He has cogitated in the course of ihe interm be- tween last session and this on the question of getting out of pledges, aud in the end he hit upon a very ingenious method. He said to himself, in the silent watches of the night : Laurier isnot my leader. He and those men whosit around him, their pledges count for nothing. Bake is my leader, aud I go back to 1887 and 1891 and I find what Blake was going todo andl fiod tha: we have done just exactly what Blake was going to do. Therefore, we have fuifilled al) our pledges. That is ingenious, but it ie harély arguable, and I do not tain« it will hold bef re the intelli- penee Ofthe racks “© *: * * -* *

LIBERAL PLEDGES IN OPPOSITION. It must be forgotten that there were

other leaders besides, and I shall take the

r-:

that this convention, when it resulted in

‘ultimate success at the polle was to du

what? strike a death blow at the principle and practice of protection ‘Well, what did the present rrime Minister at that , convention ? He declared this : Mr. Chair~ man and gentlemen, 1 submit ‘o your judgement that the servile copy of the American system which has been brought amongst us by the leaders of the Conserva~ tive party is, like ite prototype, a fraud and a robbery. I call upon you one and all to pronounce at omce, altoge:her, your verdict andemphatic support to the pro- position that we shal never rest until we have wiped away from amongst us the system of f-audand robbery uader which Canadians suffer.” On another page of that publication he followed that out. He said that he objected to the Government and to their policy. “They want to reform the tariff and st li retain the position of pro~ teetion. I submit to you that not a cent should be extracted from the pockets of the people, except every cent goes ioto the treasury of the people, and notinto the pockets of avybodyelse. I submitto you that n> duties shou'd be levied for pro- tection, but levied altogether and only for the purpose of filling the treasury to the limite required. I submit to you that every cent that is levied should be levied upor the luxaries of the people. I sub- mit to you, therefore, that under the system which is maintained by the Government, they are levying tribute on the people, not for the legitimate expenses of the people, but for @ private and privileged clase, which should be condemoed without qualifisa- tion. Let it be well understood that from this moment we have a distinct issue with the party in power. Their ida is protec- tion ; ours is free trade. Their imm -diate object is protection; ours a tariff revenue only. Upon this issue we intend to appeal, and I ask you never to desist until we achieve victory, until we have freed the country from the incubus which bas been weighing it down for fifteen long years.” ldo not want to multiply instances of that kind of assertion. Stronger, ivfinite- ly stronger than that, were the etatements made by the then leader of the Opposition

from one end tothe other. No one wiio has heard bim epeak, no one who has read the proceedings of that convention, no one who has followed the discut- sions _ before 1896 had any other than the s rongest and most ficm idea that what he pledged him

self to do 1a the way of tariff reform was to eliminate the principle of protection and base his tariff upon the exact opposite, (Continued on page 8.)
