Ing to the public accounts for 1805, the

The special deposits, it should be ex-

eld Macdonald surplus of $4,297,000,
which was in the banks when the tte-
formers carne to office, determined to
econo►nize. During the ),eat' 1898 the
the financial transactions were ata
follows: -
Expenditures .... . ... . ....... $3,703,:379

The difference between the cash bal-
ances in hand in December-, 1895, and
in December, 1896, is this:-
In
his:In hand December, 1895 .....$ 437,580
In hand December, 1896 ...... 224,872
Reduction ,, , , , , , , , , , , , , $ 212,708
This $212,708, it will be observed,
works out whichever way the figures
are examined. If we take the sunt of
the expenditures for 1896 and deduct
the receipts from► it the deficiency is
$212,708. If we turn to the cash ac-
count we see thilt $212708 is the
amount by which it bas been pulled
down. In other words, the Govern-
ment began 1896 with $457,580 to its
credit, and ended the year by drawing
$212,708 from the account to meet the
deficiency in its revenue which the
large outlays had created There is
another fact that calls for attention.
In order to lfeep the revenue up the
Government incurred rtn addition to
the debt by selling another block of atn-
nuities. rhe receipts from this s.tle
were $177,730. The income derived by
the creation of new debt is not cur-
rent revenue. It is a charge uppon re-
venue that hos yet to be collected.
Deduct the $177,730 from the current,
or actual revenue, and the year's ili-
cotoe was not $3,490,671, but $3,312,9.11.
The actual financial result of the year's
work therefore was this: -
Expenditure .......... . ... . .. $3,703.379
Revenue ................. .. 3,312,941
Deficit ........ . . . . . .... $300,438
This deficit means that we acre going
behind at the rate of $32,500 it month,
or $7,500 a week, or of $1,240 every
working day. The system of deficits,
accompained as it is by a reduction
in our rash deposits and by an in-
crease in the debt, has been in pro-
gress for some years. Here is a table
showing the process under which the
cash surplus, which the Government
inherited on taking office, hits disap-

off t•hib debt, thus reducing it to $2,582,-
300; but we have added in now aunui-
ies $177,731), which brims it tip aFain
to $'2,760,330. Our positron thereIaire
stands ill this way:
Less cash . ...................$1,072,128
Added debt .......... . ....... 2,760,330
Total .... . ............ . . . . $6,832,458
In other words -we have gone behind
to the tttne of $6,932,458, or by $'284,000
umlually. The. $284,000 is all average,
bort we are now making the average
arer, seeing that last year the actual
lefticit was $390,438, while in the year
before the deficit was $342,000. It is of
oterest to note that the Goverrment
has kept its deficit down somewhat by
aking over Diumcipal revenues or re-
lucing the proportion of revenue going
:o the municipalities, and increasing
,he proportion coming to itself; also
;hat it has taken money from the peo-
ile, as fur example, by way of the sue-
;ession duties, which realized $165,000
ast year. The important and painful
`acts to bear in mind, however-, are
