quoted from the report of the Ontario

that during the ten :years from 1883
t6 1893 the vase of farm lands had
decreased by over $132,950,000. He
quoted al, statement made by Sir
Charles Tupper in 1878 that if
Governments wens worth anything
they were able by acts of Parliament
to increase the prosperity of the
country. If that .proposition were
,correct, Dr. lllaedonald said that the
Government were guilty of a great

sion to continue. He, exposed the
. inconsisteneles of :apologists for the
-protective systema, who, because of
political exigenelea, had made' them-
selves ridiculous in the eyes of the
world by taking one position to -clay
and another to-tnear-row. A case in

Nlr. Haggart le 1878 that large sav-
ing; h'uic acr.•,unts were not an indi-
caa.tirnl of natiouel larosperity, but the
very .reverse. This contention was
placed beside the, declaration made
by the Minister of Railways last
year that the savings of the people
in the savings banks evidenced their
prosperity and contentment. Dr.
Macdonald recalled the; assertion of
Sir John .Macdonald in Toronto in
1877 that the N. P. would prevent
the people leaving the country and
bring back those who had gone
away. During the ten years be-
tween 1880 and 1890 there had been
received 866,000 immigrants and a
small natural per

making; a population of 5,8100 to
be expected. But the census enum-
erators found only 4,833,000, or
981,500 less than the country at the
lowest estimate had aright to expect,
showing that the annual average loss
of population had been 98,350. The
