and the Conservative Governments of 1867-73 and 1878-85 for the remainder. The debt increased under Grit rule by

eivht millions a year, and under Couserva tive rule by less than four and a half mil- lions a year. | It can scarcely be said if these figures are correct, and they appear in the Blue Books, that the Conservatives are increasing the debt in greater proportion than the Grits. The next matter to consider is what have | we to show for this increase of debt, The following amounts were expended on capi- tal account since Confederation :

5,356,036

} . | Miscellaneous Public | Railways seeeseceess

| North West and Dominion Lands.

$126,864,714

We see by this that there has been an expenditure on capital account for abso- lutely necessary public works ; for railways without which the remarkable progress that has been made in the opening up of the country, and the extensive trade which has | sprang up between the different Provinces would have been impossible; and for the acquisition of the North-west, the land in which, at seventy-five cents an acre, would pay off the whole debt of Canada three times over, of $34,000,000 more than the increase of debt.

We will now look at the debt from an- other standpoint—how it affects the tax- payer. It is not the amount of debt that is the burden to the people, but the interest we pay upon it. In 1878 the interest on the public debt was $1.58 per head. In 1885 it was $1.59. Still we are told that the burden of debt has become so great, and ¢he poor taxpayer is so completely bowed down under the yoke, that unless the Grits are immediately allowed to take charge, the country is done for. So much for the debt and the interest we pay on it. Now for taxation. In 1875 the estimated population was 3,886,534, and the amount collected that year for customs, excise and bill stamps was $20,664,878, that is $5.32 per head. In 1885 the population was 4,695,864, and the amount collected for customs and excise (bill stamps having

DK

been done away with) was $25,584,529, or $5.40 per head. Considering the fact that

there is now}

double as many miles of railway in opera- ; tion carrying twice as many passengers as in 1875, and three times as much freight, we surely can afford to pay the additional | eight cents. I will vive youatable here taken from | the oftich: al blue books of the several de- | partments : 1875. 188), Miles of railway in operation 1,826 10, 150 Passengers carried me 5,190,416 9,672,599 Vons of freight carried. 5,670,836 14,659.271 Number of post offices........ 4.706 10,150 } Number of letters carried 42,000,000 82,200,000 Number of new Settlers. 27,382 79,169 | Ue 8 er 3 W0. 82 $ 3 92 | Value of property brought = on by settlers . 41,384.573 4,143,866 | Twlue of imports per head 31.60 23.20 | Imports exceeded exports ket wetidcaes wacsecee 45,188,308 19,708,125 | Rate of interest on ‘public debt per cent..... oe 3.7% 2.80
