If the merchant or manufacturer at the end of the year finds himself some thous- ands of dollars behind in his cash; thut. his expenditure has largely exceeded his revenue, and that his llltblllllcfl have con- tinued to multiply, he is apt to arrive at the conclusion that the official asslgliee is the best person for him to consult about that time. That is about the position of the Dominion Government ill-day. $4,- 483,048 increase in national debt during the year; $1,156,620 deficit in the_trea.s- ury as a result of the year’s operations as shown by the last official Gazette. Put it ill black type that the people may have it more forelbly impressed upon them how they are being governed, their money Sillliulderf‘d and their country‘s liability and debt piled up. What other result could be looked for 1 Yet it is humiliat- ml:' to know that. it is your money that be». retained a government in power who now lays this balance sheet before you. "Conservative" government 1 What a farce; what a. libel on the word. The dictionary tells you that conservative menus able to preserve from loss, decay, or injury. (be. Do we find these trails in the self styled Conservative govern- ment who now hold your destiny in their handsl They have played themselves Conservative so far as conserving their ow“ interests go, but as guardians of the nation’s finances they have grossly ne« glected to preserve from loss, decay and injury the interests of their wards, the people. Does the administration of our affairs show any pretension to conserva- tism l Every year in his budget speech the Minister of Finance for the past fif- teen years has promised you that each year would be The last to show rm increase in the national debt, and what has been the result ’I Not .icbt in 1878, the year the sovcallcd conservative government took charge of your finances. was 8140,- 362,069; Ill 1894, $246,105,920, an in- crease (ll 75 per cent. Sir Charles Tup- per said. in 1878 that if lhe country re- turned himself and party to power they would run the country with the same amount of taxes, while the national debt would be reduced. Some apology might have been offered lmd unforeseen ex- penditure necessitated a.) increase in the debt once in e. whille during their long term of office, but when we find that with one exception the accumulation of our lia- bilities has been going steadily on, with the fact always staring them in the face, it is difficult to understand how they could have acted so utterly regardless of the interests imposed upon them, or of their promises of economy if placed in charge of the treasury benches. Look at. the public debt account for the past 16 years. In 1878 it Stood atl$1,40,362,069; in 1879 it increased $2,623,119; ill 1880 $9,461,400; 1581, $2,944,192; 1883, $4,â€" 805,065; 1884, $23,695,135; 1885, $14,- 245,842; 1886,326.751,415; 1887, $4,- 155,668; 1888, $7,216,583; 1889, $2,998,- 683; 1890, $3,170; 1891, $275,818; 1892, 83822404; 1893,$549,605; 1894, $4,- 483,948. The year 1882 stands out alone, a fit of ecoliOmy having struck the gov- ernment, for; in that year we find the debt reduced $1,734,130. It was too good to last. Would it not be interesting to know Just how much of that colossal debt has gone to swell up the fortunes of govern- ment favorites and towards buying up dishonest voters. Legitimate expendi- ture never swelled the amount of our liabilities to such proportions. Where will our Obligations end '2 Nearly five million dollars voted last session towards railway subsidies; $750,000 per unnum subsidy to the Fuel. Atlantic Steamship subsidy add another brick to the edifice of our national debt '- Bnt what about the deficit? We are informed by the otllcial Gazette of last week that the blessed Conservative gov- ernment has expended $1,156,620 more this your than they can pay for, which means that an additional tax will have to be imposed upon the people to lnuke good the shortage. It is a. fine thing for the government to have some one to foot the bills. But is this “conservative ” gov- ernment in all the word implies. or are lhcy sailing under false colore'l With declining revenue the government in curred increased expenditure. This may be good financing in the eyes of Minister Foster, but there are many who will hardly agree with him. After all, it is the old old story, and what do the people care where their money goes so long as they have plenty to eat and drink. “Let the future look out for itself for we do I not want to borrow trouble by anticipat- ing the future. In ignorance we find bliss, and we are not going to enlighten ourselves lest our peace of mind be dis- turbed.” This is about the way the country regards it, but a. time of reckon- ing must come and thenâ€". But you say what is the use of borrowing trouble. In the meantime, by way of snoourugelnent, let us hear in mind that emigration from Great Britain to Canada during the firsr eight months of this year has declined 60 per cent. as compared with the Corros- ponding period of 1893, while our trade No.12 with the mother country shows a marked hereby instructed to notify Mr. James decline. AN HONEST CON FESSION. “What do you think of thle as a. plank in the platform of Conservative govern- ment? “ Hon. Clarke VVallnce, Control~ ler of Customs,” says the Citizen, the government organ here, “in speaking at Toronto on Tuesday said the Conservative party did not want to have anything to do with the United States. They believ- ed still in the policy of protection, and would fight out on these lines every time.” They do not want to have any- thing to do with the United States? Well, this is an admission the Liberal leaders have long been looking for, and it is Well the country should know exactly where the present government stands with regard to our trade relations with the United States. So, after all, we are to learn from the Controller of Customs that the professions of .the government with regard to securing a. treaty of recl- procity with the United States was a. sham; that “ they do not want to have anything to do With the United States.” Is it a wonder, in view of these dis- closures, that their negotiations With Secretary Blaine should have fallen through When we have such honest ad- missions ns this made by Clarke Wallace? Anyway it will be interesting to learn a little more about this farcical afl'air which, until the confession of the Controller of Customs the country was led to believe was a bone fitle negotiation with the United States for reciprocity trade ar- rangements between the two countries. Even up to the time the Controller let the cat out of the bag the government has tried to impress its sincerity in this matter upon the people and that they ware still putting iorth every secure the coveted treaty. When we add deceit with disnonesly we have a fine combination. Truly it. is a. “Bunco” government, but at least. one of their number, in u moment of weakness, has squealed. And they tell us now that the relations between Clarke Wallace and his colleagues are strained. Ottawa, Sept. 15th, 1894. <.
