Our Ottawa Letter. Since my lust letter I have htid it little free advertising from the Toronto Mail- Empire, the government’s chief organ. [admit the Mail Empire’s large circiilo thin and um uraleful for the gratuitous publicity the few words I had to say to the farmer in my last letter have recuch through tliii channel. I would have been more grateful, liowewr, liad'thc Mail Empire shown a little more lionésly and publisth my hatter in full, and not have destroyed it and selected such por- tions of it here and there in the hope of making out a. case. The government or- gan alter publishing such lines of my letter as suits its purpose interprets it as follows: " Having continuously declared that the farmer wants no protection, the Liberal leaders are now asking the farmer it “but has been said is true, because if the farmers wish to continue under the taritf the Liberals will withdraw their 01)- position, al least as far as the farmei’s interest goes.” I do not think there is a farmer, liber- al, tury, or patron, who, if he speaks conscientiously, will say that my lclter conveys any such meaning, or interpretu~ tion, unless it is chopped up and mutilatâ€" ed as The Mail and Empire 1103 (Jolie in its reproduction. The o‘vject of my letter was to get an expression of opininii from the agricultural classes as to whether or not they were satisfied with the eXorbâ€" itant taxation they are laboring under and the way their money was being scut~ ‘tered among the political friends of the government. Had The Mail and Empire honestly reproduced my letter it would have been seen that it was not protection on what the f'armer sells. but protection against the reckless squander-mg of his money by the government 6 eXiirbitant taxation on vlhat he had t buy lluit I was discussing. 1 said in my letter that ifâ€"lhe farming community was contented with their present condition that at least as far as protecting his interests gaiiist high taxation and criminal extravagance goes the Liberals would withdraw their opposition, I made the statement know- log I was betting on a certainty as the sporting men ivuuld say There is iic lack of evidence to show that the fdl‘luel‘d of this country are not contented with a customs tariff that has been framed to make a few manufacturers Wealthy, and with a. system of reckless expenditure of public money that gives the political boodler an opportunity of growing rich at the expense of the farmer. Have you observed that for some time the subsidised press of the govern- governuient’s actions, but have devoted their editorial efforts to altackiug the Liberal party. They now see that their only hope lies in making the country be- lieve that they are no worse than what men are. Some of their organs have commeiiCed personal attacks on members of the opposition, but if they want to light out the political battle on those grounds we will give them a dose of their own medicine. If they want to talk of what goes on in the Cunlll‘IOLB r one the opposition press will have something to say. If they are going to commence that game we may have something to say about the record of Caron, Huggurt, Cos- tigan, Angers, Duly, Clarke Wallace and a, score of the rank and file that Will make very interesting reading. No. the prin- ciple is a bad and vicious one and should be deprecated. But if the Tory press count that sort of political warfare, the Liberal press will be lound ready to face them with their oun Weapons. I have mentioned this incidentally, as l have re- cently noted that one of the Liberal members has been undeservedly attacked in order to make political capital against him. But it is not the moral side of their lives we now have under review, but the extravagant. habits of the ministry In discussing public expenditure this week Mr. tider guve some interesting facts rcgiirdiiig the large salaries that are paid to members of the civil service at Ottawa, and the enormous increase there had been since 1878 111 the number of high-salaried olliciuls. In 1878 there were 15 clerks drawing $1,000 salary pcr aiiuum; Ill 1804 the number had increased to 144. Clerks re- ceiving $1,100 in 1878, 9; Ill 1804, 35. Receiving $1,200 in 1878, ‘21; in 1804, 45. Receiving $1,3CO in 11378, 28; Ill 1804, 35. Receiving $1,400 11] 1878, 28; in 1601, 138.

In zitltlilioii to this there Were the follow- ing salaries paid in loll-1 that were not [IIIILI Ill 1875. \'i;:.: 4 of $13,500 each; 0 of $2,000 Ulcll; 5 u $3,800 each; 3 of ($3,400 each; 1 Of 54,100; 3 01 $3,000, and l of $0,000. This is of course without reference to the hundreds of clerks employed in the civil service «ho are drawing salaries under $1,000 a year. The comparisons uiveii sli-iw an increase of $694,000 in salaries iiiid an increase of 456 in mem- bers. What just grounds can the gov- ernment offer for taxing you $1,402,279 to keep up a retinue of clerks at Often a who complain of the hardships they have to endure because they are supposed to reflux“. in their offices from ten until f0i r with an hour or two at noon in which to take their lunch. The government, as I have before pointed out, has increased this expenditure (32 per cent., while the yearly tax you have to pay to keep these men in affluence after they wear out from hard work, is $262,302, against which $63,97I is deducted from their salaries. Do you not think it would be a. good thing for you to question the Tory can- didate in your county 3 little on these points when he solicits your vote. 0 LIm'Kha.) a Council.
