tious Reformer (don't get angry now,
but reason with yourself), was there
any reason why that should have been
iuoreased iu 1876 to $885,846 ? This
was an increase of $108,477. Now
had the uuluber of iiutnigrauts increas-
ed in proportion, there would be 'loth.
• ing wrong in all this vast increase of
cost. But the number decreased, for
we find that under the Conserva-
tive Admiuistratiou in 1873 the num-
ber was 36,001, while iu 1876, under
Mr. 11lackenzie, this number was re-
duced to 10.001, a reduction in number
of exactly 26,000 twills. In 1873 they
cost us $7.76 per head, and in 1876
they cost *26.55: Now, iso submit, is
this reform ? Js this economy? Is
this cutting down expenditure ? It is
not. Then the plain duty of every
elector is to vote aaiust that Govern-
ment. They have deceived the people
moat ahawefeitly.

trustees, whose names even were not divulged
