was devoted to the discussion of Mr.
Flint`s resolution in favor of provincial
10031 option. and of the two amendments
the adoption of prohibition throughout
Canada, and the other by Mr. Parmelee,
that the result of the plebiscitc vote did
not warrant the introduction of prohib-
itory legislation.
The result was the adoption by a large
majority of the amendment proposed by
Mr. Pai melee, with ii further clause ad-
ded, on motion of Mr. Douglas, -in favcr
of enlarging the scope and perfecting the
machinery for the enforcement of the
Canada Temperance Act,otherwise known
as the Scott Act, which will have the sup- 1
portrof the government.
After Mr. Flint had spoken to his mo-
tion, Mr. \Vallace charged the govern-
ment supporters with shilly shallying,
and said that if he got a chance he would
propose an amendment in favor of com-
pensation to the liquor interests affected. i`
Quebec was the most intemperate pro- 
vince in Canada. His position was in `
favor of prohibition with compensation.
Dr. McDonald (Huron) said the scope
of the Canada Temperance Act should be

ready for prohibition or it is not. If it is

want it. If not, let us act accordingly.
For my part Ihave come to the conclu-

“I do not wish to make an invidious com-
Darlson between one province of Canada
and another, but I think I can fairly
aim that the province of Quebec is at
least as temperate as any other province,
and in some respects I can claim that it
is more temperate, because there is more

in 1898, before the taking of the plebiscite,
to show that it was distinctly under
stood it would Sequire more than a bare
majority to secure passage of such a law.
There was no misunderstanding among
the teinperance people, They knew that
I. small vote would defeat the object of
the plebiscite. This had been urged in
every temperance journal of Canada and
after the vote had been taken such strong
temperance advocates as Rev. Dr. Potts,
Mr. J. S. Robertson, Secretary of the
Canadian Temperance League, Mr. Craig
M. P., and more recently Rev. Dr. Good-
speed, of Toronto, had freely expressed
the' opinion that a. prohibitory law based,
on the prohibition plebiscite would be a
mistake.
Mr. Fielding put the question ilatly
to Mr. Foster, leadingthe Opposition to
define the position of the Conservative
party on the prohibition issue. '
The Finance Minister paused fora
reply, but Mr, Foster was silent.
Mr. Bergeron (Beauharnois) said that
he would liketo see a division on Mr.
Mclure’s amendment. though in
favor of temperance he was opposed to
this amendment. '
SirLouis Davies recalled Mr. Foster’s
declaration of policy in 1891 that in “a
moment of weakness" he had voted for
immediate prohibition. In the absence
_of any subsequent change of front this
was Mr. Foster’s position to-day.. Sir-
Louis argued that from a constitutional
standpoint it would not be competent to

visable.
There was no unanimity of opinion
among prohibitionists, and three or four
different opinions could be distinctly seen. a
There was Mr. Flintfs view that the vote
polled did not justify national prohibition 1
but would justify provincial prohibition.
Another view was given by Mr. McClure,
who favored absolute prohibition through- I
out the Dominion. Then there was the
view of Mr Craig, to whom he must
give the credit of having always spoken
consistently and honestly, who was in
favor 'of prohibition,' but was also of '
opinion that the time had not yet come
for its enactment. Mr. Wallace was of
opinionthat a prohibitory law would be
advisable if coupled with compensation.
There was also the view of Dr. McDonald-I
that the cause would be best promoted by
perfectingthc Scott Act. All these gentle
men were pronounced prohibitionists, and
no twoagreed. Under the circumstancesl
he was more than justided in claiming
that the government had rightly inter- _
ixeted the verdict of the people when
they had decided that the time had not
yet come for the enactment of a prohib~
itory law.
The House had three propositions before
it, but practically only one, as he thought
he might put aside Mr. McClure’s amend-
ment. Practically the only proposition
was that of Mr. Flint to enact a pro-
