which provided for the numbering of the ballots of objected voters, and whichfap- peared as “new matter” in the original Government bill of 1900, was put there in order that information could bs given ‘‘to the candidate,” and he naively adds that sub-section 5 of section 96, which pro- hibits any information being given, would “defeat that object.”” Yes, Sir Louis, you were quite right; your object wou'd be de- feated ualess you could amend section 96. And you were defeated in amending thet section. Youcarried your wily amend» mention the Commons; but the S-nute threw itout. Hereis what took place in the Senate : ‘*On clau-e 96,sab-section 5”

Hon. Mr. Ferguson.--“* Why should the officer be at liberty to know how the‘voter bas voted?”

Hon. Mr.Mills. “We will meet the hon. gentleman’s wishes if we stop at the words ‘ ballot paper,’ and etrike out the last two lines which contain the exception.”

* * 7 * * *

Hon. Mr. Ferguson.—* It*is clear no body at the counting of votes has the right to ascertain the number onthe ballot paper, but this is simply allowing them to do that in order to carry away information that will lead to the discovery of how the vote was polled. The same objection applied to clause 74, Attheclose of the pell no officer has a right ta enquire into that number.

Hon. Mr. Milla, We will take these two linea cut. * * * * J agree to let these lines go for this reason, that if sub- eection 5 does not apply to sections 67 and 74 there ave no others tions of the act to which it does apply, Insicad of \ theee two lines I propose te ‘inger’, 4..er ‘ the words, polling station, the ‘o!lowing : “except toa court or judge lawfully res quiring him to do so.”

Now I wil put toevery Grit and Torv in the audience & common sense qiestion, and you (ar answer it in your hearts, becarse you would noi like to answer it out~ right—the grits especially; Suppose in 1896 tae Liberal-Coaservative party iad g0t into power aad had remained iu pow- er down io 1300, honor bright, do you think we woulda no’ bave exported as mavy bushels of grain?

Do you think there * uld not have been just as puch healthy progress as there hae beea under the Lib- crals from 1896 to 1900? Honor bright, “hat would bs your anewer? You know in ® momert what your anewer ie. Well, ‘batis worth your remembering. Now, Mr. Fielding, when you say that in 1896 the country was not prosperous, and that in 1900 it is prosperous, asd that you were the cause of it to a Jarge extent, will you be kind enough to tell us what you did to briog this about? (Loud ap- plause.) Thatisthe point, Mr. Field- ing, have you bui'tand opened up a sivug'e important railway in the Dominion of Canada from 1896 to1900 which has contributed in any special degree to the development and prosperity of the coun. try? Not one. “Ob, but,’ he says, “yee, there was the Crow's Nest Pasa railway.” Wheo did you begin that? When was it opened ?

How much ef the prosperity of the country from 1996 to 1900 is traceable to the fact of the opening of the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway? It has only bees opened tor general traffic a little more than a year. Butin 1897 before you struck a blow upon it,you declared tu.at the coun~ ‘ry was prosperous. You bad no gzail~ way then. And thisia the only ome you have opened since then. Yeu bave given money for the building of other roads,it is true; but they are not compleied yet. Have you built or deepened a singal canal froma 1896 to 1900 which has contributed to this grcwth and prosperity? Come sow, honor bright ?

Do you know what has been the fate of the bottl--necked steam- ships?

“ It requires 50 por cent. more wheat to buy a stove than it did in 1896.

“It requires 20 brshele more corn to buy a waggon thao it aid in 1896,
