PATI' t$O , y opposite the Batik of pini', COST 0,7 i.OVEXIMIENT4 • THE vAn.nuit`1' t.1JN ARTI(1i,Ptt RB- Yt:r.wl;i); At a public sleeting held in Dun- das, the other day, lir. David Me. - Cr e), of Guelph delivered a stirring. address, Willett ~vats listened to with marked, attention and heartily ap- plauded, Among other things' rte calf} : "As iL member of the Liberal • party for many years, and as a farmer, I ani to a large extent in sympathy with the platform of the Matrons of Industry. I aim in sympathy with them to the extent of • e• , endorsing those planks which they, have adopted from the Liberal party. But I am not in. accord with the ' organ of the Patron party, the Mows- paper known a The Canada Farmers' San. The platform of the Patron • party deals largely with Dominion polities, and even the plank known as tbo seventh (dealing with the; election of county officials and the payment of employees by fees) is one that effects Dominion polities as it does •• Provincial, There has been a good deal of discussion cm this point, and Patrons are not by any means a unit in its favor. This most important plank in the platform is the only one in the whole list out of Harmony with the work of the Ontario Government, ail yet 'there are few, if*any, papers • in the whole of Canada more bitter against Sir Oliver Mowat and his Government than the Patron organ. And this is the case, ivhilo, belt re- membered, this Ontario Government and its able leader have for many years been fighting for the very principles which the Patrons are now anxious to have adopted. • "Sante time ago this paper , had a series of six articles on 'Tho Cost of • Government,' a very important sub- ject, and one worthy of careful study by all classes of people in Canada at the present time, and by no class ought that study to be more close and ".) painstaking than by the • farmers.. The articles are ably written, and they display a wide knowledge of public affairs, The articles begin with this assertion : 'The cost of g.dv- eminent is not a party question. Like' many other questions of -importance it is ignored by both the old parties, r becauseboth are interested in ignor- ing it:s What should we do for en h cont ayemeit and rewards if tLo offices were thinned out ?' ' ' "This is false ground at the start. The public records show it, and, where there trine to go into Dominion politics, the contrary is . clearly set forth in the records of the two* old parties of Canada. - "Again, he says as his second stand- point: 'It is worthy of note that in the United States there 'is compara- tively little complaint of the cost of State, or, as we should say, of Pro- vincial government. The State Le;is- latures do their work efficiently, or, at any rate, with praise -worthy economy.' I appeal to anyone here who knows the finances of the aver- age American 5t t if this be true, I challenge anyone to show that any State of the American Union has for the past twenty years been as wisely and economically* governed as our own Province of Ontario, This. writer picks out a few special items in the expenditure: of the States of :Indiana and Michigan, and compares these with the expenditure in Ontario. �*` First, he takes the Ministers' salaries, • acknowledging that the cases are not parallel, because there is no such thing as .as free responsible Govera- merit in the State scheme. The men holding the offices are not Ministers, but simply heads of departments, and may be dismissed by tile. Governor at any time. They have no seats in the House nor any voice therein. That officials of this kind, acting for and responsible only to. their chief, should .he paid such salaries is our Ministers of the Crown seems to the absurd. "Indiana and Michigan may ' be eornpared with Ontario, as the po- pulation is much the saute as ours, though their areas are =eh less, the larger area.. entailing the greater expenditure: India a ---Area, 86,350 square rlliles ; population, 1800, 2,192,404; number of representatives, 150, of whom 50 are in the State Senate. 'Michigan—Area, 58,015 stlttarc miles; population, 1890, 2,093,889; number of representatives, 182, of:. whom 32 aro in the State Senate.

Iat• 1 (liana raised from direct taxes for year ending Oct. 31, 1893, *3,6'90,- 012,03, 01' Marc thein $1.70 for .every lean; woman and child in Ontario, "This amount very nearly' equals the total ea penditure of Ontario for 1898, which was `11,907,145.32, in- cluding public buildings, asylums, railways. and public works. This is less than the expenditure, of either 1892 and 1891; Indiana's total pay- ments for all purposes for the • year was $6,719,059,72, cxeeeding the total ,receipts by y$110,212.71, In- diana's State debt is $8„490,615.t2; ; Ontario's surplus, $6,185,480.49. And this is one of the States specially seleetecl as an example from the whole Union, and.held up as a pattern for the. Patrons of Ontario. The State debt of Michigan increased largely from 1880 to 1890, "Michigan's cost of civil govern- ment, including Judk,es,is very- much higher than in Ontario; but the total expenditure ie less, boitig $3,470,- 461.65 ; but this amount does not include any 'Amen ts for public works and public buildings, cast in Ontario last year $591,064,20. This, deducted"front the total expenditure of Ontario, gives all amount tinsel" less than that of Michigan, These States are the best that can be select- ed. Have they been managed in the past in the way in which Ontario bas. been managed ? By no Means. The direct tax levied by Michigan in 1893 was :51,272,736; the whole revenue, $2,7'75,991..57 ; total expenditure, • 3',470,451.6r, ; exeeeding revenue by $094,460.08 int: one year. "These are 'tho•Stato Legislatures that do their work efficiently, or at any rate with a praisewortliyeconomy.' These aro to be oar examples. The brightest are, in a eountry, of which, tho writer in The Sun says : 'In the century that has elapsecisince the establi'sbment of republican in- stitutions in the 'United States the only successful attempt to leepadown the cost of government has been^that made i,I.connection With State govern- ment." Yet this able writer builds upon this a series of six , papers, to show how mulch better these things are managed in the United States. "Could not Ontario get along with fewer than' 91 Provincial law -makers? Would ".not 70 suffice ? Certainly, if thereby the efficiency of the public servid was not reduced, we would be much better with' one-half of the 92 of the present House. These demo, mini States, however, have not erred inthat direction. As already stated, Indiana, with less titan one- fifth of the area of Ontario, has 100 nrciubers in the House and 50 in the Senate, 150 in all. Michigan, with less than one-third of the .area of Ontario; has 132 ; also 100 in the House and 82 bathe Senate. If we can go to the United States and learn n useful us in our county gesso s to t here, we should so learn them; but that is a very different thing from seeking to displace the best Provin- cial Government that has. ever been on the.Anleriean continent by such means and such dodges as those adopted 1.)y the favored contributor in The Earners' Sun,.
