Why did the electorate iu 18i8 eo"sigu to the shades of opposi- tion the men who held the reins of pow- er during the inteaval of the five pre- ceding years? Because of incompet- ency and mismanagement in the affairs i the country -in which the illacken- zie administration increased the debt of hr+ Dominion without showing any substaunal returns; and because, while taxing the people to the utmost, deficits were continually. rolling up and our young men were obliged to leave the country to obtain remunerative em- ployment. When appealed to for re lief, the government of the day excused themselves by saying, they were "only flies on the wheel" -and in response to depuration, asking "for heaven's sake" to do something to give employment to operatives, they were told by Sir Richard Cartwright to +Igo to the devil;" while the flattering advice given to the farm- ers was, "they should tat less and work harder." How different the state of Canada since then!
