to the temperance people, and they eaid to this committee: Save us or we perish. I shall not refer to the means adopted in the province of Quebec, and which have been referred to by several gentlemen already, bat these means were not creditable to this or any other Govern

ment. I would ask permission, however,

to Fead the opinion of the secretary of One of the temperance of ®anizations in Mont- real or the % ern townships — I reter to Major Bond. This is what he has said with reference to the conduct of the plebiscite by the Goverament, and Mr. Speaker, Majus Bond is not a Conservative, bat a Liberal, But be isa sincere temperanc not afraid to give eXpression to bis opin~ ion.

A large majority against prohibition in the province of Quebec was gained, not only by undue influence and appeals to race and party prejudice, but by flagranily corrupt methods.

However, when the Government came to sum up the whole ibing, they found that the majority was in favor of probibition, It will be worth our while to pause a mo- ment to ask ourselves what constitutes a majority. My cootention is that a maj- Ority »#@ that portion ofany body of men which rules and we dnd in every public gathering, from a covntry school~bouse meeting to a meeting of the floor of Parliament, that it is the majority that rules. Whether it be a Governmert or small country meeting, the majority car- ries theaay. Why, then, should this case of prohibition be made an exception of by the Government for its own purpore? Although there was a very large majority in my Own country in fav~ our of prohibition, what did the Govern. ment tell us? They eaid: Oh, it is the minority that rules, the majority does not rule at all, and the majority mus. submit. That is about where the matier stands just now. While referring to the methods that were used to carry the election in the province of Quebec, it is only fair that I should ‘Say a word with respect to the position of that province on the temper- ance question. What is its position?

THE GENERAL IMPRESSION

€ man, and

is that the province of Quebec is not tem-~ perate. This, however 1s a common fal

lacy and an error, because we find tb at the 932° rural municipalities, outside the cities and large towns in the proviuce of Que- bec, have a local option law. We tind that ali these municipalities bave the power to prevent the issuing of licences, and out of the 932, there are 603 in waich the cale of liquor 1s entirely prohibited, Lam in- debted to my hon. friend from Westmore- land (Mr. Powel!) for these figures, and I think theyare well worth submitting to the Houee, #0 as to place the prov nce of (Quebec in ite proper light before the country on thie question. In my eprnion, that ie one more rezson Why the Guvern-

ment should have grant ed siubibitin. afier tne result of the ‘plebiscite, kn: w.og, as they did, that the provioce of

largely temperate, al- strictly in favor of probibition. Bat, Sir, the Goverumect said totheir frience in that province and elsewhere: If you assist to carry through prohibition you will destroy the Govern ment, You can see what an immense mo- tive power that was to induce peopie to vote againet prohibition ; but severtheless, in the face of such a powerful appeal, there was a large majority in iis favour. Th: people seemed to have forgotten that ihe right hon, leaderof the Guveroment had said that the Goveroment would go in ¢ Op- position rather than defeat the willef th bythe plebiscite, and further,in my opinion,the Govern ment is to-day holding office by reason « the promise of its leader that probibitior carried out, even if it cost th | L’beral party power forever. Were it not forthe temperance vote thus obtained,

ee STAMPER’S CORNER i

these bon, gentlemen would not now be sitting on the Treasury benches. Sir, the temperance peoplein my province are sincere, earnest meno, and their op nion may be summed up by the expression of a leading temperance man, when asked: What do you think the Government will do, now that a majority has voued in favour of probibitice 2? Oh, he said, there are hovourable men and will give us pro- hibition, And whet will you do, if they donot? Qh, he replied, 1 will

CRANGE MY POLITICS AND VOTE AGAINST IT’

I believe that the expression of that gentlemen was sincere and thata very large nuwber—not ali, hecause sone will [ swailow their principles and stick (6 ibeir party—of the earnest and respectable advocates of temperance inthe Liberal party will poll their votes against the Goverament which made such promises and failed to fulfil them. ‘Now, in the face of all the direct promises of the Gov- erument and the right hon. First Minister, in the face of the probibition plank in the Liberal platform, on the strength of which the Government obtained the tem- perance vole, in tue face ofthe pledge of the whole Liberal party that even if it cost them power forever they would give us prohibition, we fied an apostle of tem- perance in the person of the hoa. member for Colchester (Mr. McClure) baving the temerity to assert that prohibition was never promised, What does this al: amount to? It amounts to just about this, that we are told by the right hon. ieader of the Government: Oh, I did not meas what | said ; | was only playing with you ; I was poking fun at you; there was an implied agreement. With whom, pray? It was not with the bon. member from Yarmouth (Mr. Flint), as far as we know. It was not with the Minister of Agriculture, eo far as we know. It would seem that it must bave peeon with a gbost; but, if so, that ghost will arise in the person of the in- dependent and insulted electorate of this country in the next election and call the Government to account. Where is the hon. Minister of Agriculture now ?

Ar bon,.member. In cold storage.

Mr. Macdonald (King’s, P.E.1) One gentlemen suggests that he has been put in cold storage to keep unti! this blows over. I hardly think that. Where are the temperance supporters of the Govero- ment? We used to find them very pug- nacious when a question of this kind came upin the House. Wede not bear a word from their lips now, except when they make excuses for the failure of the Gov- ernment to carry out their pledges » th respect to prohib.tioa, Surely they do not expect an outraged electorate to overlook such political depravity as this.
