which might he taken, by the ingenious manner in which it
was constructed, either ..ne way or the other. (llear, tear.)
I du nut blame that arrangement, because the reason as-
signed for it by the S,eretary of State for the Home De-
partment was in my opinion a very good one—namely, that
it was known there were gentlemen in the house • ho might
have objected to a frank and entire declaration us to the
policy to be pursued. (Hear, hear.) But we have
head this night that there are protectionists still in
the house—(laughter)—and if the verdict which the
country has given upon the question that was referred to it
at the election were to be interred from the debate of this
evening, it might go forth that doubts were entertained as
to the ny.,iiion of the House of Commons on that quecioa.
Coosidenkg the formal manner in which that question was
referred to the decision of the country at the last general
election. I do think It is necese..rv, for the sake:of the public
interests, that there should be some formal declaration of
opinion—nut simply by the members of the government,
satiafactory as that declaration has been, as far as we have
heard it this evening ; but that there should be some formal
declaration of the house itself, establishing permanently and
decidedly that which 1 have no doubt will he established—
the concurrence of the Commons' House of Parliament in
the sound policy of that ,)stem of commercial arrangement
which has Wien established by the legislation of late years.
(Hear, hear) I cannot agree with an hon. member who
spoke on the other side—that free trade is a measure, end
not a principle. (Hear, hear.) No doubt the imposition
sr repeal of the duty on a particular article, such as corn,
may be • measure emanating from a principle ; but the
principle of free trade is • principle of larger and more
extensive application, and one that ought to be consecrated,
by the vote of this house, as the foundation of all our future
legislation ; and therefore I have heard with great satisfac-
tion that that question is about to be brought distinctly and
separately antler She discussion of this holm. (Cheers.)
Sir, that being the case, and feeling that I shall undoubt-
edly join my vote with those of others who are prepared to
affirm that principle, 1 shall not further intrude upon the
house, but ealy express my entire concurrence, not only in
the propriety, but. lan my opinion, the absolute necessity of
such a proceeding being taken. (Cheers.)

put the quantum Sur its aduptiou, during which great part of
the members left the house, when
