The circumstances under which that platform wae prepared were never divulged to the public. The temperance peor le of this country were never given to understand that if they had a majority at the olla probibition would not be intro- dveed. The impression given to the people was that if the majority,of the votes | recorded were cast for prohibition, the government won!'d give effect to the ex- pressed will of the people. Whereis the proot of that? If any other policy had been decided upon by the government, it was their bonnden duty to give the country to noderstand that the result wae not to be the same as in every other vote—- that the majority was not to rnle—that peop'eé who vever voted al all weve to govern the actions of the governmeot in this matter. How isitin thie chamber? Does not the majority rule bere? The Speaker, in deciding a question, takes it for granted that those who do not vote at al! orexpress their views assent to the motion when put, and if they do not diszent from it then it is ondersteo! that those who do not vote arein favour of the meas ure. [ have seen votes taken here when there have not been two yeas in favour of the measure, bnt the Speaker bas de- ceded the motion carried. Who carried it ? How many times do we take a division on an adjournment of the House? All who do not oppose the motion are considered in favourofit, ani we have ae much rigbtto assume that thosewho did not vote on the plebiscite were as much in favorof prohibition as though they had voted ; and, notwithstanding the statement of the hon. gentlemen from Halifax, we must reckon them all as not being op- posed to prohibition. On the question of the understanding when this matter be- came « partof the platform of the party in power, I will read to you what the Mon. Mr. Fisher said at that convention. This is from his own speech delivered on that occasion. He said: “T propose to read the reso'ution which pledges the Liberal party, if returned, to give the people of Canada an opportunity to express their views on this question, and the governmeut in power must neceas sarily carryout the express willof the peur le.” When the plebiscite vote was taken, anda majority of those whogave exs pression to their views voted in favour of prehibition, it -as “the expresred will of the people.” Does the hon. gentleman from Halifax, or do the members of the government, ma'ntain that those who ‘expressed’ no opinion are to be ‘regarded as having given “exores#ion” tothe will of ths people ? It was the “expressed will of the people” who voted, not the willof the peeple who did not “express” any Opinion at all that should have bees accepted. The Liberal party pledged themselves to give effect to the “expressed will” of the people, and the expressed will of the people was in favour of a prohibitory law. [sav when this government refused to introduce such a law they are not fulfilling their pledges to the country on thie question. Thea, there is anotuer matter which I think requires a little consideration. It has been stated since the vote on the plebiecite was taken that, at the convention of 1293, there was an understanding come to between the members of that convention that unless there was a large preponderating majority in the favour of prohibition, the temperance peeple would abandon the idea of probibi-« tive Jegislation altogether; butif there was a large preponderating vote in favour ot prohibition, a law would be introduced. if there war any such understanding at that convention, the temperance people, if they were dealt honestly and fairly with, should have been told what that majority would haveto be. If it required one-half of the electorate, or two-thirdse of the electorate, or three-fourths of the elector- ate, whatever it waa, as honest men deal- ing with asincere and honest people, v ho were anxious to ree prohibition carried out in this country, they should have given them te understand what their decision was iu the matter. The bon. Premier in the other House, in his speech thi# session, said: “That aresoiution was introduced and inserted in the platform, by which the party pledged themselves that if they came into office they would havea plebiscite on the question of prohibition, so as to obtain the honest unbiased opinion of the people on that great question, Let me say this: When we put that plank ia oar platform, there was an implied agreement be- tween the members of the party who be~ heyed in probibitiow and those who did not believe in prohibition. The implied agreement on the part of those who did out believe in prohibition was that if the voice of the people spoke unmistakatl,, f it should be showa that tne great ma- jeri'y of the eleciorate were in favor of vrobibition, then those who did not be- lieve in it would surrender their views to those of their brovhere, and would work honestly for the success of that policy. On the other hand there was an engage- meot on the part of those who believed ja probibitiog, that if the voice of the Seema pe oer eee oe, -woman may look out at @ beautiful lands~ ther poliew is adopted, the peopie them- selves who had the votes to give, ehould have heen told of it in time, [ honeatly helieve, and I sorry that this proposi- tion fora plehiscite was simply made to »oolwink and decive the temperance peo ple, that the hon. gentleman opposite were pever sincere in promising to carry out the noliey, but they thought todeceive the temperance people, aud sesure their votes, and they eucceeded in doing so. What a contrast between the course pur- sued by the present government rt their predecessors. The temperance peo- ple then were as anxions for prohibition as | they are today. They asked Sir John} Thompson for a probilitory law. What was bie answer? It was honest, manly, and straightforward. Hesaid: “Ido not think the country is ready for prohibition.” The temperance people respected bim for his candor, but they said “ we have to look to the Libera! partv.”” What did the Liberal party promise? Thev prongieed a plebiscite which cost the taxpayers over $250,000. That is whatthe decept'on practised upon the temperance people bas cost the country. I think the vote polled on the plebiscite was a very fair re-~ presentation of public opinion, bar-~ ring the result in Quebec. I must say the vote in Quebec is a mystery tome. I cannot understand it. I believe the people of Cuebec are at least as temperate a people as any in Canada, andI think, if the question had been fairly put before them, there would have beea # mrijority in favor of prohibi~ tion in Quebec as there was in every other province.

The number of people leaving Uniced Kingdom porta for Canadashow an increase cf 24 per cent. over the corresponding year of 1898, while emigration to the United Staves shows a decrease of 15 per cent., and that to other British Colonies, including South Africat has practicaily remained stationary or showsa slight fallire off. Doctors now agree that consumption is curable. Three things, if taken to- gether, will cure nearly every case in the first stages; the majority of cases more ad- vanced; anda few of those far advaneed. The first is, fresh air; the se- cond, proper food; the third, Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver oil with hypophosphites. To be cured, you must not lose in weight, and, if thin, you must gain.
