FaCts for the Electors of Centre il 'As the financial management of Mr. Mackenzie's Government is being , sav- agely assailed by the opponents of Mr. Cartwright in the present *contest in Centre Huron, we give a few facts ex- tracted from the public eccounts which may be of interest and, sebvice to the electore in this BA ing. We have given these in THE EXP Siren before, but as the same charges' or mismanagement, which the figure e e give were designed to refute, are bein repeated from meet- ing to meeting and from house to house, it is necessary to ' eproduce them. We may also say that no attempt has ever been made to refU e them, in fact they can not be refute 1. We do, therefore, ask our reaclers,I especially in Centre li• Huron, to refre h their memories by again reading th 81 and pondering over them so they ma be fortified against the assaults of the!, e whose object it is liuron. to deceive when t cial nianageme4 en t and accuse I e shall prove,1 debt of the Donde ereased by the 1; 2nd, that the tote has been decrease trolable expendit creased, and 4th; these decreases 14 e been effected. ey a,ssa,i1 the &isn- ot the late Govern - hem of extravagance.

Butest seven years may he considered too lo -ng a time for com- parison, we will t e the last three treers of Sir John's rulel and compare them with the last thie4 years of. Mr. Mac- 'kenzie's and Mr. artwright's Govern- ment. In thistik4e, as will be seen, the debt increased 30 517,448, or an annu- al average increase of $10,172,816. Dur- ing Mr. Mackenzie s three last years .it increased V4,873,414, or an average an- nual increase of 08,291,138. But dur- ing,the session of 1873, there were votes taken in Parliam nt by Sir John's Gov- ernment for pebli works, covering 024,- 361,921 ; so thatl the actual increase during Mr. prack zio's reign wee only $511,493- as' a,gain t $30,518,448 in an equal period of r John's reign. It will be seen from his very easily which party it is that is sponsible for the iu- crease of public de t. THE TOTAL PU IC EXPENDITURE.. - Second, the ino4 ase in the tOtal -ex- penditure of the, untry : In the first year of Coefedere ion, 1867-8, the total expenditure was 13,486,092;0in the last year for tvhics -Sir John was re- sponsible. viz., 18 -4, the total expeu- ditere was $23,* 31e, showin.gem in- crease of 09,830,22 , or an, averege an- nual increase. ofJI 41,638,370. • But ;to make the compar on still. more 'com- plete, and to sho how rapidly the . ex- penditure increase towards the last of Sir John's reign I shall take his three last years and cot. pare them with Mr. Maekenzie's three J last years. The ex- penditure in 187 71 was t15,623,081; in 1873-4, Sir John's last year it• was $23,316,316; -andecrease in three years of 47,693,235, or ae I annual average in- crease of02,564,41 S. Now, let . us look -at 'Mr. Maelcenzi'''s last • three years. In 1873-4, the expi) diture was.$23,316,- 316 ; in 1876-7 it .5;7'• s 023,519,301, an in- crease .of $192,985,. r an anitual average increase of $64,32 .against an in- crease of over two rnil1ious and a half in Sir -John's tiir 0.- IBut me looking more closely at the accounts wefind that the interest paid by Sir John dur- ing his last year arnounteci to $5,724,- 436, While that w ich Mr. Mackenzie had to pay emount, Cite 01,072,791*more. So that giving Mr., Mackeezio:thadit for this over plus of interest, it Will be faited that iustead of having increased the public expencli, ure, he has actually decreased,it 4879,8 6, whereas Sir John in the same leegthl of time increased it over 07,000,000. N Te have thus in the tatal.expenditure 01 qecrease, of $879,808 to the credit of Mi.okeuzie, against an incr&cse 007,693,235 by Sir John for an equal period of time by each. Aid yet there are demagog • es travelling .through the Country trying o deceive the people by telling thein ULI4 Mr. Mackeneie and Mr. Ca.rtwright 'we4le recklessly corrupt and *extravagant, • THE CONTROLLMij.13 EX_PENDITURE. • We now come t s whet ,is celled the ordinary or cont liable expenditure. As is well known a large portion of the public expenditure is fixed by statute, so that no Govern ent 09.11 increase or decrease it. The c ntrollable expendi- ture, therefore, is t at part which is not regulated by statut , in and which the Government of th day can make in - 'creases or decreases as necessity requires or inclination dict: es. It is, therefore, by this 'branch of ixpenditure that the economy of a GOV ument can be more correctly judged. he following figures will show how the Itresent Government have stood the test For the sake of comparison we will again take the lad three years of each Government. The ordinary expendith e in 18704 was $,- 610,401; in 1873-4 Sir John's last year, it was 08,324,076, icing an increase in three years of 03,71,675, or an annual increase of 01,237S 91. Now for Me. Mackenzie's three ears, the expendi- ture was in 1873-4, 8,324,076; in 1876-7 it was $6,835,078, showing a decrease in three years of $1,486,998, as against Sir , John's increase $3,713,676, or an aver- age annual de ease in favor of Mr. y Mackenzie of $496,832, against an an- nual increase b Sir John of $1,237,891. These figures w ich have been taken from the public ocounts, tell their own tale and phew frery cenclusively, how false and how 14se1ess -the charges of extravagance air which have been lev- elled against th late Government. THE `- HIJ11.011 HOW THE S'AvI GS WERE EFFECTED. We shall now give a few of the items wherein Mr. Mechenzie's Goeernment have effected those great savings which We have shown lebove. In civil govern- ment the. expe diture in Sir John's last year was $S3,685 ; in Mr. Macken- zie's last year it was 0812.193, showing a decrease of $71,492 in. one year.: For police Sir John' t expenditure was $56,-,s 387 as against $ 1,355, -showing a saving of 445.032. In egislationthe expendi- ture of Sir J�li4 was 784,048';0that of Mr. Mackenzie 593,006, showing a de- crease in -one -ye r of $191,042. These are simply a; spe imen of the iteme on which savingsave been effected, and it will be seen t1.at they are .of such a nature that savi gs can ,be effected on them without in any Amy' injuring the public service. They can also be in- creased very largely, by using them as a cloak to cover e travagant and corrupt outlays. SALARIES OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS. The charge ;s Ifrequently made by the Conservative patty, that Mr. Macken- eie's Governmenkb haVe largely increased the salaries of the public officials. Now, the very best evfdence with which to refute all such c arges can be found in the public recor. a In the Public Ac- counts, Ander t e heading of "Civil d wider the sub -head - late,' salaries," it will Government," a ing cif" deptrtm be foundithat i amount paid in. sive of -the G Lieetenlent-Gov in the yeer 18 which Sir johni3 was responsible, the the year 1866-7 the ficial salaries, exclu- vernor-General's and nor's, was .$314,634; -4, the last yesa for amount wee $54 ,498, showing an in- crease by Sr J hn in seven years of $233,864, or an a, erage annual increaSe of 433,409. In the year 1873-4 the amount -paid w s, as already statel, $'548,4'J8; in th4 year 1876-7, it was 4536,930, thus showing a decrease in salaries in three years of 411,557, or an annual averagd decrease of $3,852. While, therefore, Sir John increased the departmental s aries at the rate of $33,409 per. yet4r, Mr. Mackenzie de- creased them at tjie rate of 43,852. This is what the public Accounts show, as any person can's e by examining them for themselves. ColTXN0i4r EXPENDITURE. We will now c ntrast a few items of the contingent expenditure of the two Gov ern men ts. he contingeu t expen- diture, that is oids and ends which cannot be forasee , and is not explicit- ly provided for in the estimates, stands as follows : 1871-2 .............9 153,288 1872-3 • 176,611 1873-4 1 222,813 876-7 158,366 It will be seen from the above that the expenditure under tilts head for 1876-7, Mackenzi•'s lag year, 'was less by $21,000 than at of 1873-4,. the last year for which Si 'John was responsi- ble,. We shall n w contrast,the expen- diture in a few ot er departments, tak- ing as a °caliper son the year 1872-3, the laet full year f Sir John's Govern- mekit, and 1876-7 the last full year of Mackenzie's Gov rnment : TELEG APHING.

We have not space to go into minute details on the iten± of expeediture un- der this head. &lace it to say that the amount paid. insi years by Sir &Ain't Government was 20,774, or an average of $3,764 per year, Whereos the amount paid by Mr. Mac s-nzie's Government, in three years, wa. $5;262, or an 'aver- age per year Of We again ask ow readers, both Core servative and Reform, to carefully per- -rise the above figu s. As will be seen the comparisons otade are fair alike to both parties. In e items of experecli- ture, we do not pies out certain item or departments w ch tell in favor of our friends, as son4e of our opponents do. We give e,n e4quai period of the rule of each, and s ow the totals. All must admit that fairer course than this can be pursuel. In going overthe is .way, an in - public accounts summing up the to als, we find that the , Government of Mackenzie and Mr. Cartwright has been much more eco- nomical in their e4endi6ure than their predecessors. We nd that Sir John EXPOSITOR. when he was in power before,as compar- ed with Mr. Mackenzie when he was itt power, was recklssly and wantonly ex- travagant. By the means of's, delusive and false dry, Sir John has again regain- ed power with an immense majority at his back. Whet guitiantee' has the country. that he will be less prodigal of the people's money now then he was before? It is to the interests of .Re- formers and Conservatives alike, that this extravagance should not again be indulged in. We know there are some in the ranks of both parties who do not want the country economically and hon- estly governed. There are some in the ranks of both parties whose sole aim and end in life is to fatten t the public crib. The more dishone t and the more extravagant a Geyer naeut is, the better will this class fare. here are at this moment a number of t ese cormor- ants travelling through thi county, en- deavoring to incite the pe pie against Hon.

But interest of the country competent to guard the from the assaults of such have described., should occusy seats in Parliament. Itis, also, itt he interests of the Country, that the 0 position in Parliament should be vi serous and powerful. With a strong nd vigilant Opposition, the leader of a 1 overnment is much stronger to resist 6 e assaults of these hungry offiee seeker who con- tinuously beset him. It is ell known that Sir John 'Macdonald h s not the strength of will to resist the e, sinless he has the fear of a vigorous and Shrewd Op- position continually befor his eyes. The Opposition in the pre et Parlia- ment is dangerously weak. An effort is now being made to strensthen it, by returning Hon.

We sincerely trust that bu few will be so blinded by party prejudi e, as to pre- vent their doing their shar rn the per- formance of this duty. W also trust that none will be led as ay by side isifues and false cries, but tiat Reform- ers and Conservatives alike will unite in returning to Parliame t the lite Finance Minister, Mr. Cart- ight, who will, et the present jun ture, be of greater service to the count y than any other public man within th bounds of the Dominion. .
