to psy its way out of Its own ra.ouroes, and
as a consequence state ggov.rnmoct is econ-
omically 000ducted. With the provinces
knowing th.t by judicious Iog•rollmg they
oa0 unload their debts upon and get larger
subsidies from the 1lemiaioo, extravagance
follows as • matter of course.
The plea at ewofederauoa was that some
of them would not join if they had to pay
the whole bill for local autonomy. They
were, therefore, allowed yearly subsidies.

duce thus heavy item is to reduce the debt,

Ie 1878 the expenditure road have been de-

would take over 60,000,000 bushels. more
