f' t1113 i1r' LI ITS,
It is generally well , known that the
Ontario Goveiumelit, in order to meet
the auninal deficit which its extrava
timber lim-
genes occasions, has fur years past
been wasting* file valuable.
its of the Province in such a way as, to
ea public: alter Some valuable
statistics were lately brought out by
De. Sproule in the House of Commons,
in support of his motion "that it is ex
pcdient to re.impose,au export duty on
pine and spruce logs." Those statistics
will throw inuclt light upon a subject
in regard to whieh many are still in
the dark. Certain parties, such as i%lr
Charlton, member for North Norfolk,
are personally interested in the lumber
trade, and are therefore not qualified
to spelt el fairly* on the subject. Dr.
Sproule has no such axe to 'grind; and
speaking as he does iu the iuterests of
Ontario, his statements and statistics
• aro all the more reliable. Now, it was
contended by Mr. Charlton in the inter-
ests of foreigners, and of his own finan
dal affairs, that there was timber en-
ough in this country for generations
to come, and that leases had been giv-
en. for 1,000 square miles—whereas
the fact was that there were leased
• nearly 20,000 square miles. On exam-
ining Lovell's Gazeteer, it will be
found that after making allowance for
water and barrel: lands there were '(as
a member of Mowat's Government had
admitted) at least 19,000 square miles
under lease to cut timber. The Ontar
io Commissioner of Crown lands stated
that only about 60,000 miles of timber
yet remained in the Province. This
timber found its way largely into the
Western States, and according to the
rate at which Amerizan and Canadian
lumbermen were cutting it there
would be no timber left to cut in the
course of five or six years. And this
explains the high price to which timber
limits had lately increased. Limits
• which were bought for $75,000 had
been re -sold for $500,000. During' this
very year, iia the valley of Ottawa
alone, there would be cut over 400
million feet of lumber; while from the
western part of this Province there
would be taken out this coming season
450 million feet. To show our readers
the value of this Lumber trade to Can•
ada, the Ottawa lumbermen received
about $1,000,000 for six months wages
fn the woods, and nearly the same
amount was paid to the men at the
mills, Thus, if no export duty is im-
posed on saw -logs going from Ontario
to the United Sates, a million dollars
in hard cash would be taken from our
own people around the Georgian Bay
district alone. Nothing more is needed
to show the reckless character of the
Mowat Government in wasting the
timber limits of the Province to keep
themselves in power, and no further
argument is needed to justify the re-
• imposing of an export tax on our pine
and spruce fogs.

Our Weekly Letter from Ottawa.
OTTAWA, March Gal, 1803,
Tara 'CLOSE Ot Ttrio DEBATE,
The `' galleries were filled on Tuescl v
y
t
ne ht last to hear thec closing n
shots
of
the, .Budget fight, The people were
amply repaid fair their attend:a nee. The
Hon. Mr. Laurier spoke after dinner.
:His speech was a pleasantly 'delivered
essay,well oonstr•ucted but tvcaal in
argument. The Pi 'ran Minister „ CC niiyter re
plied, We have not space here to des-,
er'ibe his effort. It was by common con-
sent one of the greatest speeohes that
the Canadian Parliament has ever.
1tc:;4r& It uas indeed the advent of ,a
p,ect 'Waterloo for the Opposition,
tlon,
'..'hey looked like pigmies' beside a
giant as the lion, Mr.:.''oster-'-stnalt fir
stature but mighty in arunlents--
stood; up and by the Force of irresistible
facts andlogic brushed them aside one
by one. First he completely answered
Mr,Laurier, then s he demolished Sir
Richard; next he cleared away the
sophistries of Louis Henry Dayies, and
lastly he spanked the roan from North
Norfolk ti!! he looked like the historic
bull that faeed a running locomotive.
It is generally admitted that the Op-
position have riot yet had such a ridd-
ling for
iddling'for years, If their supporters in
the country could have heard it they
would undoubtedly . have been more
than sorry for their leaders.
The speech will be given notice on.
these letters hereafter. The Govern-
ment majority was 64. There were a
number of absentees..
ltR. EDGAR'S COMBINE,
Mr. Edgar having' made a speech in
which he found fault' with the com
bines, Mr. Smith M P. for South Ontar
io, reported that Mr Edgar was a prole
in.ent member of the most iniquitous
combine in Canada, the Ontario Law
Society; and he had better cast out the
mote from his own eye before he tried
to remove that in his brother's eye.
TIIE P. O. DEPARTMENT.
The Post Office Department rs one of
the most important departments of the
Government of Canada,
It is important not only because of
the fact that upon its wise and business
like management depends to so great
an extent the successful handling of
business operations in every part of
OUr own count, y and with every other
country in the world, but because two
of the large expenditures which are
necesza.rily made in connection with it.
It is very satisfactory to compare itg
management now with its manage-
ment under the Liberal Government.
In 1873, when the Liberals took of-
fice, we had 4,518 post offices in the
Daminion. These post offices cost per
annum $1,553,000; they earned $1,406,-
000,
During the five years of Liberal rule
the number of offices increased to 5,378
and the revenue to $1,620,000, while
the expenditure increased to $2,110,000
That is to say, the expenditure increas-
ed $447,000, while the income increased
only $214,000 or in other words, each
post office caused to the country a loss
per year of $93. That was clearly the
result of bad and extravagant man-
agement
Since the Conservatives took charge
again in 1878, it will be remembered
the North West has been opened up by
the C P. R. and in consequence hund-
reds of offices—the mail routes to which
are exceedingly costly—have been es-
tablished. Indeed the whole North
West has been given most extensive
and satisfactory service; and yet look
at the result of good management!
The number of offices at present is
8,288—an it crease of 2,910 offices as
compared with 1878. The expenditure
is $4,205,000 and the income is $3,542,-
000.
3,542;000, The total loss is only $663,374
per year, by only $80 per office—S13
per office less than under the Liberal
Government. Thus is saved to the
country—notwithstanding the im
mense cost of North West routes and
splendid improvements everywhere,
the sum of $107,744 per year.
MR. M'LENNAN'S SPEECH.
Major R. R. McLennan; M. P. for
Glengary, made a capital speech upon
the Budget. He has a splendid practi-
cal mind, and always gives the House
facts that have been well thought out
and arranged to prove his contentions.
He is a thorough Canadian. proud of
Canada's position and thoroughly loyal
to her instutious. He therefore speaks
with no uncertain sound upon the anti-
Canadian policy of the Opposition.
Dealing with the statement made by
the Opposition that there was unrest in.
the country, the major said he didn't
wonder that unrest disturbed the soul
of the :net: opposite. The gloom of de-
feat that had enveloped their party
from Marquette to the sea was enough
to make any political party feel that
total extinction was impending. They
said their hands were tied, so they
were, their hands were tied when,Mer-
cier was ousted and the money supplies
stopped.
Mr. McLennan urged upon Mr.
Laurier to say whether he was willing.
to accept a treaty with the United
States that gave the Americans con
trol of the Canadian tariff. He paused
for a reply,but Mr. Laurier only smiled
Neither he nor Sir Richard ever want
to answer that question It is getting
down to particulars that they always
try to ayoid,
The Opposition ciaimed that people
left Canada because of the high tariff.
[hen asked the speaker, "whydo
they go to the United States where the
tariff is twice as high?
Mr. McLennan dealt lengthily with
the condition of the fanning industry
in Great Britian, which is a free trade

vrery little' income, and on the third, 10
per cent, and very little income: Wag-
es have fallen 15 per cent from what
they were ten years ago" ,
TAXAT1oN,
Dealing with the subject of tal~atton
he quoted the statement of the Toronto
Globe, and showed that the taxation,
of New "York State was enormous.
There is a direct taxation,accor'ling to.
the Globe, in that State, of $132 per
annum on 200 acres; $125 on 150 acres'
$60 on 90 acres, The falrmei•s of , On-
tario know how inuch direct taxation
they haye in the provinces of the Do-
minion. But if our provinces were
states they would got no federal sub
sidy; they would have to build their
own canals and public works, and _a
thousand things all by direct taxation
M01tTGAGEs IN THE UNITED STATUS.
Fortunately the census returns of the
'Tithed States give the mortgage fig-
ures. It had cost a million dollars to
collect these statistics. They were such
as showed the American farmer to be
hying• in n0 garden of Eden, Here are
the speaker's words:
"I base my calculation upon the
American census, which' cost some mil-
lions to prepare. The mortgage' on 1st
of January, 1890, in Alabama was $39,
027,000, or $26 per head: in Iowa, $119•
034,000, or $104 per heal; In Illinois,
$384,299,000, or $100 per head, It will
be remembered that Iowa and Illinois
are situated in the very heart of the
United States and are considered to
include the best farming sections in
the country, Kansas, that country
whose circularscontain portraits of
some Hon. gentlemen opposite, has a
debt of $235,248,000, or $170 per head,
$850 for every faintly of five, or a mort•
gage against every 477 of the' whole
population of the state. When I speak
of a mortgage of $850 against any
family, I do not mean against each
family mortgaged, but against every
family in the state. Those five states
had, on lst January, 1890, real estate
mortgages amounting to 8906,669,000,
or an average of $83:80 per bead, sub-
ject town interest charge for one year
of $67,505,000. I have not time to go
oyer the the statistics of each state in-
dividually,but I will read to the House
a statement covering the whole United
States, prepared by Mr. Porter, the cen-
sus commissioner. He says in Extra
Census Bulletin No. 3:
" 'A small army of 2,500 special
agents and clerks have been employed
to make an abstract of every mortgage
placed on record m every country in
the United states, and that the agents
of the Census office have as. a matter of
fact overhauled the records in every
state and territory. They have • trav-
elled on horseback and oii•foot through
the most sparsely -settled districts of
our vast domain m search of mortgag
es and have done their work so''indus
triously and so thoroughly that we
have now on file in Washington as a
result of their labour, the abstracts of
9,000,000 mortgages.'
"There are about 12,000,000 families,
in the United States. Comment is uu•
necessary."
AMERICAN' OPINION.
Dealing with the subject still fur
then, Mr. McLennan quoted an extract
from General. Weaver's letter of accept-
ance as a presidential candidate.
"The people are in poverty; their
substance is being devoured by heart-
less monopolists, trusts and money
sharks; labor is largely unemployed,
and where work is obtained, the wages
are for the most part ;unremunerative,
and the prod:lets of labor not paying
the cost of production. This is a mat-
ter of serious concern to the waole peso•
Further, the American Farmer, a
leading agricultural journal; says, in
its last issue:
"The farmers are fast being reduced
to the condition of serfs, and theAmer
lean workingman is becoming the
American slave. Such is the position
of the American farmer is the highly
favored` and advantageously situated
western states,"
Mr. 'McLennan'closed with a glowing
description of Canadian resources; and
cotnpar(:d'the picture drawn by Amer
leans of the American farmer, with the
true condition of the average Canadi

Its population in 1881 was 9,61.6; its
population in 1891 was 12,763, in 1881
the number of manufacturing estab-

1891 there were 250, The capital' in
vested m 1881 was $1,028,000; in 1991
it was $3,231.,000, In 1881irs factories

were worth $4,280,000,
