’ tases Caine Inlo power ia 1879 with an acknowledged balance against the Province of $52,000. Going oat of power after twelve vears of governsent they left a balance against the Province of $124,000.

When they came into power we hada subsidy from the Dominion of $153,000 in round numbers. When taev went out of power they left a sub-idy of $183,000. Therefore, notwithstanding the fact that they drew $200,000 of the capital from Uuawa; they left an increased subsidy of $30,000 for the benefit of the tax-payers of this Province.

Tuere is still another fact which Mr. Howatt in his independent honesty (?) for- gets to make known to the public and it

is the 4s

Mr. Howatt’s next attempt at figures to sbow up the deficits § of Sullivan - McLeod Gevernments compared with the deficits of the present Government. Does he do that part of his task fairly and justly? Does he take the Public Accounts as bis guide ? Isay uo. He takes the Public Accounts: to g.ve us the deficits of the Peters Gov- eremett. But when he comes to give us. the deficits of the Suilivan-McLeod Admin- istration, does he taxe the records of the Public Accounts? No. Bat sets down | ter the years of 1884 and 1885, deficite that | do not exist avy place but in the mind of Mr. Howatt.

He says that the deficits of the Sullivan Government in the years 1884 and 1885, | less pier money received, were $52,000 in round numbers. Why not leave out the | whole subsidy received from the Dominion | Governmentand make the deficit $200,006? This would be just as reasonable as to strike out a part of the receipt of any one year.in order to roll up a one-sided deficit.

The facts are that the Sullivan Govern- ment:made certain claims against the Dominion Government and received cer- ta'n suas Of money, whici were placed to the credit of the Province, and the peopie were relieved from taxation to the amount of the money so received.

What is the account of the deficits of ; the two Gevernments as taken from the public accounts, whicli &.claim to be the only true guide we have to go by ?

The deficits of the Sullivan-McLeod Government as given ia the public ac counts are as follows:

We find, then, on examining the Public Aecounts that the average yearly deiicit of the Sullivan Government was only $27,-

451.01 instead of $4€,923, as unfairly stated by Mr. Howatt. That is $9,469

can he recoreile to the pwvlic the exagger- ation of those figures with his claims . of independence? Mr. Editos, I cannot tell. [ must leave him to his conscience to re- concile such a contradiction. The public were not satisfied with those annual defi cits of the Sullivan Government. The Liberal party said that the Sullivan Gov ernment were running the country into debt and that they should no longer be entrusted with the administration of pub- blic affairs. They said, “Give us the reins of government and the age cf deficits will cease. We will economize the re- venues of the country and make revenue and expenditure meet” The peop'e took them at their word and placed Mr. Peters in power with a very Inrge majority at his back, a majority sufiiciently strong to carry out any reforms that he might wish, in the interests of the , eople, to adopt. What has been their record? They

have increased the expenditures from an average of $265,166 (the average yearly

| iess than Mr. Howatt’s figures show. How'

is, that during the nine years of which he speaks, the people of this country were not asked to coutribute one dollar to the revenues of this country in direct tax.

Mr. Peters came into power ia 189i with a balance against the Province of $124,000 in round numbers. He came into power pledged to the people to con- duct the financial affairs of the couutry in & more satitfaciory manner than thai of his predecessors.

How has he kept his promise? How do we find the debt of the province stand- ing to-day? The following will show: —

[have already shown that during the the 9 years which Mr. Howatt takes of Sullivan government, the people did not pay One centot taxes. How has it been with éne present government? They have collected from the people in the last three years $135,237,.0r a yearly average of $45,079. Had the Sullivan government collected the same amount each year from the people it would have amounted to $405,711.00.

I have endeavored to giveyour readers a just and fair account of the financial trans- actious of both governments and leave vour readers toe jadge of independence of Mr. Howatt’s letter. There is one point in the history of the present government upon which I wish the electors of this country to pass judgement. in the year 1893, the year of the last general election, Mr. Peters asked parliament to give bim $285,000 for the expenditure of that year.

He expended $337,000 or $54,000 more tuan parliameot voted kim. How was

this money spent? Was it in the interests ofthe general public? Nc; butas I be- | lieve in the interests of a few individuals whom Mr. Peters wished to return to parliament, he himself being one of the gumber.

I will give youa few figures to show how eome of it was spent. la the Petera’ district on rcads

If those men were guilty of taking $54,900 in 1893 to obiain their election, what guarantee have the public thatthe same thing will not happen again? What reason have they to believe that those game men will hesi- tate to follow the very same course at the present time? Is it any wonder
