THE vAn.nuit`1' t.1JN ARTI(1i,Ptt RB-

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

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,. Every citizen
and every fiirrner should be interest-

We have had 'under the rule of the

over $70,000,000 have passed through
the hands of his Government, and
not one dollar has ben shown to have
