-ExTRAVAGANCE VS. ECONOMY.
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

foolish enough to bring that subject up.
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

that whereas in 1867-8 the total charge

amounted to $23,316,316, being an

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
