What 1t Costs to Get into Parliament.

In the course of recent speech in the House
of Commons, Mr.. Lowe cited the statistics OF an
official report showing what it costs to become
a member of the British Parliament. The
expenses OF the election for Stafford weref54OO;
Trent, 10000; Sunderland, f50OO: and
Westminster, 8l2,O 600. These were the aggre-
gate expenses of all the candidates. Mr. Lowe
added
az wish to call particular attention to the case
Of Westminster, not for the purpose OF saying
anything disagreeable to my honorable friend
lMr. MilD, for we know he was elected in a
burst-I will say a welldirected burst-of popu
lar enthusiasm. That was honorable to him and
honorable 10 them, and have no doubt that
in the course of the election all that
could be done by industry and enthusiasm
was accomplished gratuitously; and am sure
that my honorable friend did not contribute in
any way to swell any unreasonable election
expenses. His election ought to have been
gratuitous; but mark Its cUst-f2302. | believe
it did not cost HIM siXpence. He refused 10 con.
tribute anything, and 1t was very much to the
honor of his constituents that they brought hlm
in gratuitously But look 10 the state of our
election practices when such an outburst of
popular feeling could not be given effect to with
out that enormous sacrifice OF money.
II will now call attention to two or three
counties, The subject has not been sufficiently
dwelt upon but it bears materially upon the
question before us tonight. will take the
