There are some good points in it, but more weak ones. Let us see

presentation by population. |

.|how representation by populatioa would

affect Cavada.

There are now about 315,900,000 | British subjects, 5,000,000 of whom is a large estimate for Canada. Repre- sentation by population would give us one member in 63 or 10 numbers in the entire Parliament of 649, and you would have to adopt a desperate plan to give P. E. L any representation at all. But 270 million of these subjects are not white. Give them representation and they wonld swamp the 45,000,000 whites, (and a corresponding number of native Christians) and if they are asked to assume a share of the cost of Gowernment, British fair play must give them representation. “If they could agree,” says R. E. Gosnell,“ upon a standard of idolatry, they are numerical- ly strong enough to set up their gods in the streets of London, and compel Chrts- tians to fall down and worship them.”

Again, let the representation be ac- cording to the following table compiled by Geo. Baden Powell, where population, commerce, industries, earnings, and ex- penditures are tabled and averaged, British North America being 8 per cent. of the whole :

It will be neticed that in many respects this table is below the actual mark. So that in a parliament of 640 members, of which England would have two thirds ot the whole, British North America would have 8 percent., or 51 members, and Prince Edward Island only one.

If wealth be made the basis of repre- sentation, England would swallow the colonies, but if intelligence be made the basis,Canada might swallow up England-

What guarantee have we that in a Federal parliament our most vital in- terests might uot be legislated away? Might not India, with 59 members, out- vote Canada’s 45 on vital questions ? So many diverse and scattered races to satisfy would create a howling wilderness of factions, each clamoring for spoils, Sectional or colonial predelictions would inevitably be thrust upon it, degrading it to the level of a lecal parliament. The voice of each individual colony would be drowned. While our gain would be nil, our political independence would disappear in the glamor of Imperial statesmanship, or be voted away by political marionettes.

Members of such a_ parliament would represent interests as wide asunder as the poles, people differ- ing in race, tongue, creed, and color, as varied as the * productions of the skies under which they lived.” Some might call it a political millenium, but I fail to see that Canada should risk her glorions rights and privileges and liberties merely to keep up the prestige of a nation now pastits zenith, Let her not mistake the romantic for the practi- cal. She has Responsible Government, independent Courts, a Free Press, Muni-

may say. England would assume our Debt and Public Works, but then we would only be laying down our present burden to take up a heavier one. It will be no advantage tous to keep np Evgland’s Army ard Navy, Dock-

yards, coaling stations, etc., when we are

Jat peace with all the world ; it will be

no gain to us to help her in her foreign wars in countries with which we have no quarrel. And that is just what Im- perial Federation means to a large extent. Let Canada profit by her prac- tical independence, keep pace with the age, develop the country, and occupy no subordinate position.

“It we look to history,” says George Baden Powell, “* we see that it is neces- sary for the just administration of De- pendencies that the paramount power epjoy actual material superiority of a force and kiad that almits of no chal- lenge.” So that, outline the Parliament in apy manner you may, Powell has struck the keynote, and shown us that English influence would outweigh Colovial, two to one, in that Parliament.

Then, what would be the work of that Parliament? It is difficult to determine. “The common affairs of the Empire,” say the Federationists; but that phrase admits of many interpretations Finance, Trade, Defence, Foreign Policy, War and Peace, the Army and Navy, Diplomacy, Consulariates, the General Supervision of Colonial Governments, Justice, the Rights of Citizens, &.. and very few of these righis are endangered in Canada under our existing iustitutions.

Would Canada be willing to give up her Customs duties and resort to direct taxation to carry on her Government ? I think not.

Under Imperial Federation, England would insist on supplying the Colonies with all their manufactured goods, taking in return raw material, food staples and cash. This means Coloniai markets for English manufactures, which, in a short time we will be in a position to do with- out. It means the shutting down of Canadian manufacturing industries. “Smaller Britain must look to Greater Britain for a livelihood,” say Feder- ationists, “for the home markets afford butan uncertain seiling place for our manufactures.” Let us by all means sup- ply England with a part of her raw material and food staples, but let us at the same time protect our own manufac- turing industries. Nature has provided Canada with every facility for manufac- turing. For instance, Nova Scotia has exhaustless supplies of coal and iron, and immense shipping, and P. E. I, cau sup- ply her manufacturing towns with food. Carry out the dreams of Federationists and you destroy these fair prospects, Here is a short statement, compiled by Sir Leonard Tilley, of the Dominion manufacturing ;industries, from the re- port of Commissioners employed for the purpose :

Capitaljiny’td 37,819,931 67,293,373 20,473,442 77.96

Free Trade between nations is an im- possibility, except where they largely depend upon one another for supplies. England is looking for new markets. She finds the United States competing with her in her own markets, killing her trade and depressing her industries, and she turns to her cclonies tor help. But we can do our own manufacturing, and when we fail in that, the natural gravita- tion of our trade is towards the United States. It is with that nation we want closer and more uviform commercial union.

Newfoundland is one of England’s

cipal Institutions, the control of her own revenue, the regulation of her trade, aud, “free discussion of international and) intercolonial questions in the House of Commons,” as pictured by Howe twenty years ago, and what can she gain by | Imperial Federation ?

We would be asked to share the. National Debt, which in England is about $101 per head, and in Australia about!

nearest colonies, and we would expect to find her exporting mainly to that country, but what are the facts? In 1883 her total exports were $4,725,960,

Balance to other couniries. How does England regard her? ‘Jn

$204 per head, while our own is only $51 ‘the present day,” says Hon. Mr. Justice per head, thus increasing the burden of Pincent JD. C. L., ‘the position aud con- interest. We would have to contribate dition of Newfoundland are little known to a National Defence Fund, to help de-' or regarded in the Mother Country.” fend the kingdom against all foes, which Newfoundland is not fairly dealt with in would add avother burden. Then take the matter of treaties, and the protection the question of taxes. The tax, direct of her fisheries. This brings us to and indirect, per head in England is now guother point.
