Every settler in New Ontario means another consumer for the goods manu- faotnred by the industries in Brueselo and other Canadian towns, Vote for the poiioy of progress. The most fantaetio pioture in publics life at present ie the Opposition leader trying to persuade the people of Ontario that they are suffering through the eine of the Roes Government. The Canadian Freeman says of Hon. G. W. Roes : "His personality perms. ,tea the great Liberal party, of whioh he 1s the practical head in this province, and hie genius giveaft its strength and force." AA' number of electors in East Huron have bean waiting for the silvery tones of Mr. Spotton, the Opposition candidate, from the .public) platform so that they could find out "where he was at" on the issues of the day, It is a hard cold foot that Mr. Whitney and the Conservatives.vigorouely opposed the granting of manhood'suffrage, but the Liberals had faith in the young men and carried the measure through and made manhood suffrage law. Mr. Haydock says that until Mr. Whit- ney comma forward and denannoes the sine of his own party as well as those of the Liberal party, the clergymen, the women, and the religious prase will not take mooh stook in his appeals. "Under George Brown, Edward Blake, Alexander McKenzie, Oliver Mowat and Christopher Finlay Fraser, it was never alleged or suspected that each wrongs as are now perpetrated were permitted to ooaar."—Toronto Mail and Empire. All these men warm formerly abused by The Mail, just as it now abuse, Premier Rose. The difference between the grant of a pine limit and a pulp 0000eesion is that in the former case the pnrobaaer may hold hie limit as long as he pleases and never add a mite to ibe fund of employ- ment of the province, while pulp oonoes• eionariea most prooeed at oaoe to build a mill and to employ a stated number of bands after it to built. Two pointe present themselves when judging of economy, Is the expenditure compatible with the =sane of the spend- er, and is the expenditure wisely made ? If these testa are applied to the expend. iture of the Ontario Government they can both be answered in the affirmative. The Government might easily have latd up money just for the sake of accumulat- ing a surplus, but it hes oboeen rather to make liberal expenditures whiob lighten the burden of local taxation. It might have ant off the large sums granted an- nually to maintain the asylums for in• sane, the deaf and dumb, the blind, and to assist in supporting the homes, hospit- als, refugee and other philanthropic in- stitutions. In moat of the states of the union, such institutions are supported out of local rates, and the state revenues are devoted to other pnrpose0. Out of the total oetimated expenditure for all pur- poses for this year, 54,000,000, about one- half .will be devoted to the maintainenee of Pnblio inetitntione, boopitele, charities and schools. All these services relieve the Ontario ratepayer directly of local taxation, and in these days of 20 to 24 mills on the dollar, it is a relief indeed. Thiseexpanditnre is economical, beoail% the Province has the money, end because it ie made for a benefiolal purpose. Mr, Whitney is seeking the help of the corporations by promising to repeal the tax under which they contribute to the Provinoial revenue.
