In asking the aid of a professional man, the first question muwhhttt:bility, â€"not as to his pos: «ession, and t seemed to have been overlooked in this case. In England, he w«imitted there should be some relation between representation and taxation, owâ€" ing to the old custom of laying on a land t1x on the boroughs. But here the chief part of the taxation was indirect, and the man who smoked a cigar, or whowore a shirt, pid taxes and could claim in this way the right to be represented, and thereâ€" fore it was unphilosophical and absurd to say that only the pnxeny of another should be admitted as the qualification. He could not understand why such a rule should exist" in municipal {:odnu which dealt only with questions of property, but :}o:l that it should be ldd.‘down for a, body dealing on a subject affecting personal rights and liberty, It was dd‘ that every one should have a stake in the country, nd this he admitted, but this ever sober, industrious m«n had, and such a one might take as much l"u;umt in :‘he Governmen.d‘ht s the men w at w k The member for I:fumt-i-lo fl;mplnn «d that the Bill did not g far enough, that w1 rge number would be disfranchised nd that on the fround of intelligence men should be admitted to the franchise. He (Mr. Mills) admitted, with the Minister of Justice, that the franchise was not a ~ight but a trust.. But he could not see what right they had to exclude those who could show (by. their intelligence, they: were qualifiel, for this intelligence,not the mere accident of property, should give such a right. There were many reasons why they should extend the franchise here th t did not exist in Britain ; there was an unlimited area ; there was no class noeesâ€" sarily |rmpo°t-, and there was no more inâ€" dapendant class anywhere than were the ted as â€" did also the responsibility of || those who governed and &trouu{ soâ€" | . ciety in the welfare of society. Such a | franchise unite all classes, and not cut adrift th¢e lower ch-a from those |. above them, levelling, but a levelling up, not down. The greatest obstacle to the advance of the ooun_'rz,‘mpmooodod not from those who would be fited by the franchise, luEby the wealthy chu:; who formed rings wornâ€"out leogisâ€" lation.. Wou! mwammmnt insist on such conditions ‘from those who might be called upon to enter the militia, as they did from those who sought th uuln&: Gladstone observed that the success of E }.\'orthom Republic in the late war, was due to the extension of the franchise, beâ€" eauce whether the people had (!;no- perty or not, it had a voice in the Govâ€" ernment of the Country. The excellence of representative institutions, was not that [better laws could be made. A few able men might make these better. A dug might have a cheaper Government than Minister of Justice gave them. But a representative Government: was a great school for the people, yet they proâ€" posed to let the most important time pass nmo:x:ho class whom this Bill proposed to exclude. tt was the yonn% men, under 21 years, who without debt or responsiâ€" bility . wot::l! to whom they refused the franchise, offered it to them when the cires of life and its struggles prevented ltlwgn from giving such attention to the ; subject they wâ€"re called on to vote. The :pm&omy of thtoount‘r‘{‘:“unotduo to | the tisheries or to :flc alone, but | the education of . All the | evils spoken of as e the United 'm were drawn from New York, which was not the United States, and for this the immense emigration. Even with this he thought the country, with the extendâ€" _ ed sufirage. would compare favourably y before chunfn in their property. If a town became a city, and on the incorporation: of evory new town, the same thing might hipp n. Then, again, a town, it might be decided, should, in Ontario, not have less thin 5,000 of a population, while in New Brunswick it might be 1,000. .A propâ€" rietor may be disfranchised, while his tenâ€" ant may have a vote. _ Now they bad proâ€" posed that an income of $400 was to give a vote, but it now turned out that this was only if it represented capital, while perâ€" sonal property derived from industry was deprived of it. _ _ .. _ as®. 1. _ Hon. Sir JOALNâ€"A.â€" MACDUONALIY SMUQG) 1 that the franchise was given to any one having an annual salary or income, not the aggregate amount of days‘ wages. . Mr. MILLS said it was objected to use the Jlocil machinery because the Governâ€" ment had ho control over it to drect it ; yet they had in other matters, they had exerted control over the local officers in respect to legil duties. The American Governmont did the same thing, and no inconvenience had been feit to arise from it. The member for West Toronto had argued that there ought to be uniformity, but there was no uniformity in individual qualilications, and if not ‘nocessary in inâ€" (lividunls, he did not see why it was necessary in the Provinces, _ He referred to the dissatisfiction that would arise from ‘the disfranchisement of young men in Ontario, ten per cent. of the whole in rural constitut ncies being young men who wereâ€"assessed, on the r fathers proâ€" perty. Jt was against the law, but public opinion out ran the law, and tiwy h ,.d the franchise. By the present Bill they will be excluded. Nee# yass Hon. Sir if he (Mr.. done contt _Mr. MHLS spoke of law in‘ a moral sensoâ€"a higher law. Hon. Sir JOHN A. MACDONALD asked if he meant fraud on an agsessor was a new moral sense ? XHWWE on & Hon. Sir JOHX A. MACDONALD said perhaps he would wish to have universal suffrage as in British Columbia. _ _ > Mr. MILLS, certainly he would;*and he believed the opinion was leading in the right direction. . He advocated the frinâ€" chiso being left to the Provincial Legislaâ€" tures, any objection to tl}:,provi;inns being thus more easily reac as the Local Houses were more amenable to public gpinion than that of the Dominion. In ew Rrun=wick the ballot should be more respected, and he believed if the officers of the Crown were to vote, the ballot would be ah.-olutelf' necessary. â€" Otherâ€" wise their votes would be simply so many q_bl?od in the hand of the Government. There was much to be said in favour of :fin voting, but he warned the House t if the officers of the Government were to vote, they would introduce the system ‘so much objected to in the United States, if these officers changing with cach administration to the great detriment of the service. ‘"With reurect to simultanâ€" tous voting, having all the eleggiions on one day, he did not deny the indepen,, dence of the people of tlis country, but the country was liable to be overrun with ' cu::lf)-follower-, who being intent on booty would plunder the dead, and kil the wounded. These men woere not such as would be disfranchis. d. They occupied a higher strata, but were trusting to this for a living, ‘being too indolent to work, and ‘too proud to beg. He objected to the e>ntinuance of the system in existence, as M by it the Government constituencies were first taken, and the fighting could ‘be all done on one side. f It being six o‘clock the House rose. AFTER RECESS, Mr. MILLS resumed.â€"He said he had no doubt, the Bill would have most misâ€" chievous effects in the Maritime Provinces, where the defranchisement of many, now enjoying full electoral privileges, would create a formidable party among those who had made up their minds to accept the situation. There was no doubt, if any ch ince were offered of withdrawing from the Union, the Antiâ€"party would be as strong as when the House first sat. He did not object to the member for Hants joining the Government, but hbe thought it a most unjudicious step, on the l:a.rt of the Government, to promote an on, gentleman from this House to the Sâ€"nate, making the litter a sort A Magâ€" dalen asylum for gentlemen seduccd by the hon. gentleman opposite. This House must be very careful as to what laws were pissed. that. might bave the «RHect of further annoying the people of the Lower Provinces. Every householder in Newâ€" foundland has now a vote, yet the hon. gentleman opposite asked them to come into the Union to be disfranchised. The position of the Govérnment all .along, seemed to be, that they considered this Parliament, as that of old Ca conâ€" tinued. He thought it most unjudicious and unfriendly to say before hand, what the electoral franchise shall be in the Proâ€" vihces, not yet in the Union ; to tell them, in fact, that their influence i;ere shall not be felt. He called the attention of the House to the irrelavency of the franchise prosmed He thought that the Minister of Justice could, with proYriety, ndfl)t the franchise of the local Houses. His opinion was that the time was not far o:fi when every man in the country w have a vote, when the political sentiment of the country would not be demoralised by the registration system. â€" _ 7 *Hon. Col. GREY thought that if every one in the country was educated and full of virtue, the theory of the hon. gentleman might be very suitable, but the matter must be considered practically, .Property qualification was the prorer criterion on which the franchise should be based, beâ€" cause it showed the intelligence and apâ€" plication of the wouldâ€"be voter and was prima facie evidence of the interest he must feel in the country _ In reference to the argument that the peotlo of Newfound. land and New Brunswick were not conâ€" sidered in the matter, he said that that was no reason why the interests of the four millions of people in the Dominion should be neglected. These people only amounted to the upopuhuon of a couple of townships, and if the Minister of Justice had legislated to suit tbem the member for Bothwell would have called him a perâ€" fect Harlequin legislator. The hon. gen-] tleman mxm rest â€" assured that, New Brunswick men of her own:rxo, it necessary, could defend her rights without being patted on the back by him. HMe. thought that there were some of the e tails of the Bill which required to be amended in Committee, for instance that relating to the five yeirs rental; but on the whole he believed that it was an exâ€" tens on of the franchise of the whole ‘Doâ€" muinion. He was not prepared to enfranâ€" chise the floating population spoken of by the member for Bothwell, as they had no real interest in the country. If the franâ€" chise were extended thus far, you might as well have universal suffrage. , Mr. MILLS â€"Would you entrust thesa le with the defence of the country ? o. mt uio toiaget uf "Ao she sremie trust any man t up in th ount _even if ho had notsrhilhu-mt-h ite JOHN A.
