the country, what do we find? if there was one promise that Sir Richard and the Liberal leaders made it was the promise from every platform in this country, from every hustings, that the taxation ef this country was too high, that it was grinding down the people, and that it ought to be | diminished, and that if they came in they

would diminish it. They made the same

solidated revenue, and with capital account and with accideatal charges. [Iam going to take the total expenditure of this coun; try for all services, every cent and every dollar that was expended in any way what- ever. That is the fairest way tody, The people have to contribute it ip taxes, they have to pay for the borrowing of the money and the ouly fair comparieon in this way is to take the total expenditures, What are they? Irely «pon Mr. Fielding’s report ; it isa column introduced lately ; it gives ‘the total expenditures for every year from Confederation up. The total expenditure for all purposes on an averag? for 1892 to 1896 was $42,141,000 ; for 1895, $41,700,000 ; for 1899 it is $50,892,~- 000. (Applauase.) Sir, you may juggle with consolideted fund and with capital | «xoenditures, aod other expenditures, and you may take them separately and make ii appear a verv different story where you cannot follow'hem all. There isan age gregation of all that was expended, and 12 1899 it was $8,700,000 greater than the average between 1892 and 1896, (Hear, hear,and loud app!euse. )

COMPARISON BY ESTIMATES,

Sir Ricbard was anxious to compare it. by estimates. We wili compare it by estimates, My estimates in 1896-7 were $41,000,000 in all. The estimates of Mr. Fielding for 1899-1900, adding a propor tionate amount for the eupplemertary in comparieon with the amozgnt brought down this year is altogetber $54,590,000, or an increase of $15,500,000. (App!ause.) Sir Richard declared that there were four millions and odd of supplementary esti- maies which I did not bring down but which I had prepared to be brought down Sir, I made a statement in answer to that in the Honse of Commons, and I told Sir Richard and Mr. Fielding that those tables were simply the calls ofthe department made upon them for the various services, uggregated together to be sent to the Council. and to be passed upon by the Council, as to-what, if any, of these amounts would be submitied ‘6 the House at all. Why,sir $6,500,000 of the rail- way subsidies wer? brought down. But szppose I had got hold of the | tabulated requests that went through the Minister of Railways to the Cabinet for railway subsidies, would | have counted them at six miliions? More likely I would have fouud them to have been cixty millions. The year before last Mr Laur~ ier himself stated that though they ooly brought down armal amount of railway

‘*Mr. Jobn Chariton said that—

The L beral party, if ‘in power, cou!d at once reduce the public expenditure and effect ci:bersaving3 to the extent of five millions of dollars per annum, without impar og the effisiency of the sera‘ce,

“Mr, Laurier, on this platform, in the city of Toronto, declared : -

Has the expenditure gone down? No: it has gone up. It went up by two, three, five millions and more, until it ‘s about thirty eight millions and more; and Con~ servatives don’t shrink from it, but swallow it. Ifwe get into power we will follow the example of Mr. McKenzie, and I say that although we may not be able to bring back the expenditures to what they were under him, we can reduce the amount, vee, three millions of dollars, }

1896 the customs revenue of the country was an average of $19,839,684; in 1899 it has risen to $25,382,553,in increase of five

subsidies, some seventy millions in el! had been asked for. This tabulated statement 'of mine was never considered in Council, | it never was authorised, it never’ was pre-

would have been four millions toshave been added. Add it and what nave you? Tne whole estimates then eould have

LIBERALS AND THETARIFF.

“What have they done with reference to the tanff? Sir Richard Certwright brs adupted a new set of phrases. This grind- ‘ng ruinous taxation he used to talk about he row denowirinates grors ircome.

The average of duties on dutiable goods from 188i) to 1897 was 26} per cent. the averege to day ts 28.98 per cent. Ye this is oulya bogh reveoue tariff, but the

But sir, itis fairer to take the average upoo free and duiiable gocds together, aud taking that test what bave you? The tar ff rate on that basis from 1892 to 1895 was 17-4-10 per cent, the average rate for 1893 99 1816.76 per cent.,areduc:ion Of 714100 0f one per cent, sud no more. (Applause and laugh- ter.)

“Letus take this teet of S:> Richard Cariwright. The per capital taxation from 1892 to 1896 was $5.55 per head; for 1899 it is $6.58 per head, or $1.03 more. Take the total revenne; ic was $7.14 per head in 1896; it is 8.30 per head in 1899— an increase of $1.66 per head. Takethe total expenditure, it was $8.14 per head in 1896; it is $9 57 per head in 1899, an increase of $1.43 per head.So that the Liberal Goverament has gone back on tbe three great pledges they made when in Opposition, to reduce the expenditure, to reduce the taxation aid to reform the tariff by taking away every vestige of the priaciple of pretection, and these pledges are falsified by their own record, and todavthey etandas having heightened in every respect but oue the burdens of the people, and of having re- duced that only on the average duty of 71-100 of one per cent. on the whole.” (Applanse.)
