Tue Patriot, conveniently, overlooks

former denunciations of “Tory extravag- | extravagance aud |

ance,’ “a wild reiga of coruption,” etc. The Patriot, also, con- veniently, forgets the plelges of economy and reform made by the Liberal leaders throughout a Jong period of years. It is

now content to prove that. the expenditures |

of the present Government are only a little larger ($217,754 a year) than those of their ‘“yrossly extravagant” predecessors. Let us say that the tax-pavers are not so for- getfal, or so easily satistied and pleased, as The Patriot !

It is amusing to note that The Patriot, in the course of its argument, states that the late Government was sparing in expenditures in J895-96, “‘on

of the approaching general elections.” Bad as they were, the “Tory Government”

had not, it seems, learned the trick of un- usually large and excessive public expendi- tures amung the electors in election years. Perhaps they had not noted all the recent events in Prince Edward Island! However this may be, a Liberal Govern- roent has been in office for nigh upon two years, and bas failed, so far, to find evi- dence of the “terribie scandals” with which the Liberals were wont to charge their predecessors.

In arriving at the conclusion that the expenditures of the Liberals were only just ge little more excessive than those of the denounced Conservatives, The Patrict con-

veniently avoids the last year in which the |

latter were in office, and instances one par~ ticular year, the vear 1894 95. If it had desired to be fair it would liave taken a series of years and compared the average of Conservative expenditures with that of

the Liberals. It might have gone back, say ten years, and found that in

was a protective -tariff. In spite of the factthat he spoiled it in some places. This year he has gone so far as to threaten the manufaciurers, but Protectionist Bertram’s schedules sti] remain.

Compere this with the Liberal expend- iture of $38,449,759 in 1896-7, $38,750,000 in 1897-8, and the estimated expenditure of $39,124,000 for 1898-9,—

It is sufficiently clear that the Patriot’s contention that the Liberals are only just a little worse than their predecessors the matter of “extravagant expenditures’ not true;—they are worse to’ the extent of all but two millions of dollars & year.

In view of the fact that every lover of the weed knows that he has to pay a cent a fig more for his tobacco; in view of the fact thatthe Government proposes to levy a tax to benefit and protect (as tae Patrio; maintaias) the large metropolitan news~ papers as against the emall provincial ones, the Patriot bas the hardihood ‘© contend that there has been no increase of taxa- tion ? Is there anything to compensate the

tax-payer for these increases? lias’ the price of kerosene oil, or the price of binder twine, or the price of any other article or thing, obtained in Great Britain or else~ where, been redaced by any fraction of a cent as aresult of Liberal tariff tinkering ? The Pat ‘riot knows that it bas noi. The taxpayer’s burden has not been at all les- ‘Sened at any point, while in severa direct. ions it bas been increased. It siauds to

SIR CHARLES TUPPER VIEWED.

The Liveral Montreal Witness has been interviewing Sir Charles eer. ee | leader of the Opposition ie described by the | reporter as fresh and elastic and speaking | with animation. With respect to the pesition of the senate, Sir Charles said:

“The man who save that the senace must be changed or abolished simply does not know what he is talkirg about. The Canadian senate is more secure than the British house of lords. It is a component part of government. It is constituted by an act of the imperial parliament. It is different from the senate of the United States in its constitution. The Jatter body is actually the administration. The Cana dian senate is an essential element of the government of the coviatry. A vote of the commons asking for its abolition would bave no effect whatever. You would need the vote of each of the provincial legis- latures in addition to the vote of the commons, for it must be remembered that the institution of our senate is due toa compact with al] the provinces— ratified by an act of the imperial parliement. Nor will there be the least need for the moving of any part of this elaborate machinery lookirg to the abolition of this body. The Senste has deserved well of the country. Theccunury never had a

higher Opivion of this body than it has today. Since the present government

came to power it (the senate) has saved the country @ million dollars by compelling the government to make a new arrange~ ment with the Drummond County Railway, while by its rejection of the Yukon bill 1 has blocked an extravagant scheme which even the governments own nominees in the house would not support, which even the influence of the C. P. not yet its Own men ip the senate to favor. No; if there was ever a disposition to think lightly of the senate, as being out of touch with the feelings ofthe country, that dis- position no longer exists.

Ae to the actual position with respect to an all Canadian route tothe Yukon, Sir Charles said it was not the duty of the op. position to devise measures for the govern- meut, but he had in the house in response to the challenge of the premier made a suggestion which, he thought it would be well, in view of the aetion of the senate, to carry out. That was to call for fresh teu ders for a roai starting from an open port to Teslia lake, Sir C harles also approved

of Mr. Hamilton Smith’s bill Dow before the senate for a read from Pyramid Harbor to Selkirk upon the distinct understanding that it

must be operated by British capitalists, and be under tae iuflaence and control ot such, This road traversed a portion ot territory which is in die~ pute between Canada and the United States, but which, Sir Charles thinks, “when the boundary line is firally fixed, will be found to belong to us. Moreaver, the building of this road would give the Americans access to their own Alaska territory, and this fact would have a favorable influence npon the decision of the United States authorities with respect to our goods passing through in bend. ©
