A. 11181.0P REPLIES TO
JAS. BOWMAN, M. P.
To the feditor or THE POST :
DEAR Sta -14r. Bowman is displeased
With what I said regarding the finauces of
the country and he imputes motives.
The high settee o[ delicacy and propriety,
and the fine rectitude of morel vision
which distingoish hint from all other
men enablea him to know my motive far
better than his own, However he ecl-
mits the Borden Government increased
the expeuditure to the extent I charged
but tries to justify his friends by alleg
ing that Laurier raised the expenditure
from $40,000,000 to $137,000,000, Let
it be assented he is correct. That is an
annual increase of $6,00o,000 during the
16 years lee was in office Lumping
ordinary and capital expenditure to.
gether, as lie does in the case of Laurier,
we find Borden in 4 years lifted the ex-
penditure from efie37,000,o0o to $2o4e.
000,000 per annum as compared with an
increase of $6,000,000 in the other
period. Mr. Bowman is so disinterest-
ed, patriotic and zealous for the public
good that he believes an increase of
$6,000,000 per year by Liberals is cou-
elusive evidence of extravagauce and
dishonesty, whereas an increase of
$16,000,000 per year by Tories is proof
positive of economy and capacity,
True the Laurier Government made
large increase In the expenditure. How-
ever the conditions were much different
in their case. Prior to the accession of
Laurier the county was in a very un
progressive condition. Money had been
freely spent by their predecessors to
bring immigrants from other countries
while our own native born young men
and women were leaving Canada faster
than their places could be filled by for-
eigners. Trade was stagnant and the
public service starved. Immediately
after Laurier took up the reins things
began to Improve and Canada entered on
an era of expansion and development
almost without parallel In the history of
national progress Coincident with the
lowering of the tariff the revenue in-
creased by leaps and bounds ; immi-
grants began to invade our shores in
large numbers making it necessary for
the Government to spend liberal sums
on various public Improvements, Dor-
ing their tenure of office they expended
on Public Works $31.0oo,000 canals
$34,000,000 ; Intercolonial Railway.
$36,000,000 ; Prince Edward Island
Railway, $4,o00,0oo ; Naticnal 'Trans.
Continental, $.116,ocea,000 and large sums
on many other useful public improve-
ments. He says the big expenditure
of the present Government has been
caused by conditions created by the
Laurier Government. This statement
is absolutely without foundation in fact.
That mode of evading responsibility
was introduced when man first sinned
and bas been used by every wrongdoer
since. No Government ever came to
power under more favorable circum-
stances than did Borden's. Country
was enjoying wonderful prosperity and
ordinary expenditure had not been
much increased during the 4 last years
of Laurier's term. Treasury was run-
ning over, as Mr. White himself admit-
ted, and had business prudence been
used in the conduct of the finances the
Government would not require ad-
ditional taxes to meet domestic or
ordinary obligations, la makinghis
first Budget speech Finance Minister
White testified as follows :- *The esti-
mated revenue for the current year,
with which I am now dealing, being
$136,000,000, there will therefore be a
surplus of consolidated fund revenue
over consolidated fund expenditure of
$39,000,0oo available for capital and
specie outlays. I am sure I Can con-
gratulate both the House and the
country upon what is undoubtedly a
record year for the Dominion. I do
not know how to quite share that colt -
gratulation up, but as my right honorable
friend (Mr. Borden) came into power on'
the 6th of October, and my right honor-
able friend, the leader of the Opposition,
was in power prior to that date, there is
probably glory enough to go round, and
it would be the judgment of Solomon
that each be entitled to one-half, at all
events to e part of the credit for tbe re-
turn which I ant now presenting to the
Bouee, Now Mr. Speaker, what does this
mean? It means that out of the abound-
ing revenues of this country we shall
provide for the ordinary current ex•
penditures of the Dominion, for- all
those large capital outlays which I have
mentioned, and which this growing
country has required during the year for
services of every kind, and at the same
time that we shall be able to make a re.
duction of the public debt to the ex
tent of $erso,000. That naeaus, we
have more than paid our way, and our
surplus has been such that all capital
and special charges have been exting•
uisbed,"
During the following year the expencli.
ture kept mounting higher. Business
men, bankers, financiers and others be-
came alarmed and warned the Govern-
ment that unless economy were practised
serious results would follow. In the
House Mr. White made merry of those
protests speaking thus :-"I do not be-
lieve in a Government curtailing ex-
penditure simply because it appears
that on account of financial depression
there might be a limitation of trade.
We have a population to -day of eight
millions and it will soon be ten millions,
fifteen millions, twenty-five millions."
'The expenditure on the Transconti-
nental railway reached the considerable
stun of over $21,000,000, but as the
yeare of heavy construction have passed
the outlays for this service will in the
future decline Materially, A little
further ou he says ;-"So Ear I have dealt
with the affairs of the fiscal year 1912 13
and I am sure the results must have
been most gratifying to the House, in-
asmuch as, notwithstanding the generous
eppropttetions which were made for all
the serefeces of tbe country, the net re.
sl was practically an equilibrium
he-
Uveemt the revenue on the one hand aud
expenditure of all kinds on the other.
I am happy to announce that the out-
cotee of the last fiscal year, which ended
on March 35, will prove even more
satisfactory as reflecting by far the
highest pitch to which our natioltal
revenues and prosperity bane yet at,

It will be found that tile tette revenue

Indic aim) of the megeificent growth 01
the Dominion may be gleaned from the
fact that tide Increase in revenue during
the period of out/ year almost equals the
entire revenue of country 20 VearS ago.
The augmentation of revenue to which
1 have referred has not been irregular,
spasmodic or Intermittent in inenature,
but has steadily characterized each
month of the entue.fiecal rift'. It waa.
of eourse, msinly derived from cuelora
reenipts, but the other sonrces of
revenue -excise, Postoffice and railways
also gave very substantial increases,
In a vision be saw a population of
25,00te000 and began spending on that
basis. The crash came and he lost his
suony smile, chill penuty repressed his
noble rage and froze the genial current

he was willing to share the glory with
his opponents but in the hour of disaster

Soloman White that produced the 3 fat
years and wasteful stupidity of Laurier
caused the leap one, Mr. Bowman
thinks it was a monstrous business for a
Liberal Government to add $81.000,000
to the public debt in 16 years, yet he ad.
eats that (luting the past year his own
friends added $6o,00o,000 to the debt
They Added, pract:colly, as =ell as the
extravagant Government did in 16
years. Mr. Bowmao, in the public in-
terest, is horrified at the gimes extrava-
gance of men who added $5,oxe000
per year to the buidens of the people
but rejoices with great satisfaction that
the affairs of the country are now in the
hands of men who increase the debt as
much in a year as the Liberals did ht 16,
He says the revenue decreased $33,-
000,000 during the past year as com-
pared with the year previous and in-
sinuates this condition bas been largely
brought /Molt by the war. He ought to
State thelacts candidly and not insult
the intelligence of bis readers. Surety
he is aware that for the 8 months of the
calendar. year from January to August
the revenue from Customs duties was
falling off at the rate of $2,285,000 per
month as compared with tbe year 1913,
which would make a total of $27,420,000
for the full year of Is months. The
actual decline in .Customs revenue for
tbe calendar year 2914, aa compared'
with the year zeta, was 032,109 427.
From such returns it would be unfair
to contend that the war was responsible
for more than 5 million of theshortage.
This is undoubtedly a most disastrous
and unfortunate war that will affect the
Prosperity nf the witted for years to come
hut it remainedfor ,Bowman to make
the discovery that the trade of Canada
was adversely affected by it 8 months
before it wss due. As a matter of fact
this country was entering on a period
of commercial depression The war, no
doubt, since it commenced has seriously
aff.cted our foreign importations,
though our leading business meta con-
tend that conditions would be much
worse were it not for the war ceders
now being filled by Canadian manu-
facturers, thus giving employment to
thousands of men who otherwise would
require public charity fur their susten-
ance Present embarrassed condition
of the public till has been largely
brought about by extravagance and
waste on the part of those who were
intrusted with its guardianship Sir
Thomas Shangnessay, of the C. P. R,
has publicly censured the Government
for failing to curtail their expenditure.
"In a time of severe depression" be
Sava, "14 Government should follow
business methods. The present Govein.
ment have not exercised that regard for
prudent expenditure that a joint stock
company would require ot its director.
ate."
Mr. Bowman says mrstatements as to
the price of binders are incorrect.
The present Government reduced the
duty from 17i- to 12i per cent, conse-
quently a binder sells at $5 less now
than when higher rate prevailed. Had
he consulted any of the local agents on
the questiou he would have been saved
the folly ot making such a reckless as-
sertion. At last session of Parliament a
Liberal member made the charge 00 the
floor of the House that when the
Government lowered the duty they at
the same time changed basis of valuation
so that manufacturers have as much if
not more protectiou now titan formerle.
Conservative member for Brandon,
though less explicit in language, made
lo substance. the same charge. The
accuracy of the charges was not, so far
as I am aware. questioned by the
Government. When subject of tariff
increase was eefore Parliament, H. W,
Hutcbinson, Vice President and melee,
ing Directbr of the John Deere Plough
Company, ells asked by a newspaper
reporter for his views, "I think it de -
suable to point out in this connection,
when it is prosposed to ask the farmers
of the country to pay this large extra
sum of money, that the concessions.
which are said to have been made to
farmers in recent years were not real.
Both the Premier and Mr. Rogers in
former years promised reductions in tbe
tariff to farmers. There was au ap-
parent reduction 10 the duty of binders,
harvesters and mowers. The valuation
of these imported goods was, however,
arbitrarily increased so much that prices
in 1914 were higher than they spare
1913 From such information as I have
been able to obtain frotn local dealers
his statement is unanswerable. I am
advised by an agent of the International
Harvester Co , that their prices have ad.
vanced 7% and by two Massey -Harris re.
presentatives that theirs advanced 5%
In face of those facts there can be no
manner of doubt that the Customs te-
gulations are such as to afford the manu-
facturer all the protection he requires
while at same time Government and
their flunkies are proclaiming to the
farmer what wonderful things are being
done for him.
Mr. Bowman might have told the
readers of THE Posr why the Govern-
ment did not abolish the duty on bind-
ers as they had given the people to anti-
cipate they would. The International
and Massey.lierris firms practically con.
trol the binder trade. Each have MA111i.

ter their goods sell from r5 to so%

Mr. Bowman says the Laurier govern-
ment is responsible for the dealings of
McKenzie Mann with this Domin-
ion. What are the facts? In the years
between 1884 and 1891 there were grant-
ed by Tote, governments no less than
4,100,000 acres of laud, valued at over
$29.000,000, During the Laurier term
of office the subsidies received by tbose
gentlemen totalled $6.456.820 in cash.
Not one aerie of land was granted. Be.
fore the defeat of the governmeut those
promoters made a big effort to secure
aid for the extension of their system into
Bruisit Columbia but the government
positively declined to grant one cent,
directly or indirectly for such a purpose
With the accession to power of Borden
.things cfifauged. In the session of tete
a subsidy 01 36 3n0,000 was granted for
'a line from the Yellowhead to Vancou-
ver. Cattedian Northern, Alberta, re-

My friend's delicacy appears to be bad-

if he were at the time a Minister of the

fact that thesame kind of transaetioos

much can be said however. of Oliver
though a grossly partisan Commissioner
WAS appointed at a salary of $5o per day
to investigate the transactions of the
government with the Co and though he
diligently prosecuted his labors for
months he failed to reveal anything re -
fleeting on Oliver or the government of
which he was a member.
• As to allegations of improper pro-
fitg from Crown Lands they are too
flimsy for serious consideration. So far
as I know this was the first instance in.
the histoty of British justice that a man
was tried behind locked doors and drawe
blinds without being notified of his trial
or given an opportunity of presenting
evidence in his own defence and instead
of hanging his head with shame Mr.
Bowman characteristically gloats over
the disgrace. Moreover the Minister
who presented the report to Parliament
had the indecency to acknowledge that
the business was undertaken as an offset
to the scandals of the government which
were tainting the good name of Canada.
