ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Star: “I consider a yearly expenditure of $40,000,000 or $38,000,006 altogether too large for the present re- sources of Candis. | sayit is a shame and adisgrace to the Government that have been entrusted with our afairs that they come down to us and ask for an ex- pesditure of $38,300,000 a year for feder- jal purposes.” Thus spake Sir Richard Cartwright in Perliament in 1896. Since that we have it onthe authority of Sr

ment to preserve barmony in the pariy, and now the expenditure considerably ex- ceedsa million dollarsa week. “@ive us harmeny.” as awallowed the frog singing out of tune.
