In his speech the other day, at Lind- say, Mi. Cartwright, the Dominion FinanceMinister, gave the following figures, !which speak for themselves. He said: He naight add that when these gentlemen the opposition talked of deficits occuring under the present • Government—when they talked of two snccesive defieits neer having occurred before—they just leept out of sight the well known fact, that arine the Ad- ministration of Sir Jlelan:Maclonald no less than six success ve defieibs,amount- ing to five -fold the s; ra that the deficits of the present Government amounted to, took place in six successive years. (Loud. cheer -s,) A groat portion of the deficits, too, was-derted to the sia nkin- fund. by which a very large amount of thee debt now existing against the Dominion of Canada -was wiped out. While on this subject, let the see how the charge of extravagance made against the present Administration compered with the well-known record. of the late Govern- ment He had. with him a statement T.TOTEL FOR SALE.—For Sale the hotel in -Li- the Village of Egraondville, known a's Oox's Hotel.

Canada. A mother, son and daughter all died that great country, it became necessary that we should deal with tbe Indians. Canada had always dealt fairly and honorably with the Indians, and it is not only better, it is not only honest and right that we should do so, but it is far the cheapest policy to pursue. (Cheers.) This necessitated a heavy expenditure. The entire payments to, Indians for 1873-1, amounted to $140,- 069'; last year, in copsequence of hav- ing acquired the entire territory .that I have alluded to, the payments ran up to $301,596, or a, total difference in ad- vance of $155,527. Now, those are items which. no Adminietration could. avoid paying. But it may be said with retard. to the accumulation pf debt, "Why aw. you eat into debt?" • Well, my answer is that it was not we who got into debt, it was our predecessors. I do not say that they were wrong in showing in detail the total expenditure for all purposes of the Dominion undertaking the great works that they but the works were undertaken, from the date of Confederation down to the end of the last and we have simply to carry them on financiel year. Feora ,,that he found. that whereas in 1867-8 the total charge against income amounted. to $13,486,- 092. in 1873-1, when Sir John Mac- donaldis Government left power, it amounted to $23,316,316, being an 1,VM. ROBERTSON. 527 1 to completion; an.d. to do that the mon- ey was borrowed, and when borrowed. the interest had to be paid on it. So 'with regard. tot the administration of justice, they say, "How was this cost increased. ?" It was increased, in the first place. the year that we carne into 1873 the late Government :paid per ton, while in 1877 we paid. 17 13s. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I may say also that the average price of rails in 1873 and 1874 was 117 lis 9d, as against 17 13s paid,by us in 1877, or 130 pea: edut.raere in 1874 than was paidlast year. (Hear, hear.) We purchased by open tender in the market all the rails we did purchase, while the late adminis- tration purchased them by giving' an order to a'near relative . of_ a Minister who obta ed per cent! commission eat and charge the Government onthe av- erage 11 1 , per ton moth than be paid for them, getting Ins commission on his overcharges besides. (Hear, hear.) NoW, let us take the management of the Post Office; it is not, to be sure, my Department, buti may give the figures. The Post -office expenditure during the first year of the late Administration, 1867-8, was 4616,802. In their'last year it had risen to11,387,,270, or anincrea,se during their term of office of $770,478. That is a good. deal more than double. We began, therefore, with their expendi- ture of 51,387,270, and our eetimate for next year is $1,767,000; being an increase in five years of $379,000, against an in- crease in seven years of 4770,000. (Hear, hear.) I may say we have been able to keep the expenditure for this year almost within. the amount of last year. In other words, while they had an average increase every year of very nearly $120,000, we have an average in- crease for each year of something like l'IV/6,000. I give these figures in order, te show what our expenditure has been in those services *here it is passible in some measure to economise. Let 54me give you a few more figures: When we caine into office we found that they were paying on the -average for coal, $3.73; we are -now paying $1.77t. (Hear, hear. and. cheers.) They were paying out at that time for ordinary bar iron $4:31 ; we are now paying $1.80. They Were paying for gitut nails on the average $5.32 per keg, we are paying $2.80 ; for clout nails $15 per hundred- weight, we are -paying $7 ; for pressed Bails. 12.75, we are paying $6.87 ; for wrought s ikes $5 50 we have made several increaeit in barely eeven years of very office by the establishment of ae new nearly ten millions pf dollars per annum Court of Appeal in the Preview° of On- acIded. to the national expenditure of tario, which necessitates an expenditure this Country.
