J. Israel Tarte as to the attitude he has lately as- _ ‘sumed concerning the School Question. | La Minerve commenting upon Mr. Tarte’s | speech at Winnipeg and says : “We hesitate to give an opinion on that speech, not knowing exactly whether it should inspire us with pity or contempt. Praise the prosecutors in the very face of those prosecuted in Winnipeg, the hot- house of fanaticism and Francophobia; | applaud their resistance to jaw, their | tenacity in injustice, righit in the face of | the unfortunate people, who, for the last six vears, have bowed down under the | weight of illegality and a denial of justice; coolly and premidatedly celebrate around | @ festive board the sacrifice of the legiti- mate influence an:l the sacred rights of his compatriots and co-religionistse—that | h is what Mr. Tarte has just done.” Le Monde says :— | “ And it is in the name of the Catholic | province of Quebec that this trattor has | dared to speak to the fanatical persecutors of the Catholics! It is in our name that he has capitulated before them, and has accepted the national schuol+, that 1s to say, aneutral school, a school without | God, the crushing down of our separate schools, of our Catholic Stop lthere!

The following array of facts illustrates the vastness of the British empire :— Halfthe ships in tne world are Bri- tish. The best of them can be converted into ships of war in forty-eight hours. We have a million of soldiers in India. Some of them have been brought to Malta. As the sun rises the British drum beat follows round the world. We can travel entirely around the world without Jeaving the British empire. The British navy is as large as that of France, Germany and Russia combined. There are 400,000,000 of people in the British empire. It is said that our Queen would have to live another seventy years to enable her to see them all pass before her night and day for al! that time. She is the greatest Mahomedan ruler io the world, “God Save the Queen” is sung iu twenty langueges. The total value of the United Kingdom is now said to be $50,000,009,000. Added to this several thousand millions are invested out of this conntry. We own one fourth of the railways in the United States. Aod about half the railways in South America. We own the largest part of North Amer- that is, Canada. Olive Schreiner, avthoress of “‘An Afri- can Farm” says that if any big misfortune were to happen to England sixty mullions of English-speaking people in other coun- tries would leap to their feet! There are 1,000 miles of tramways iv the British Isles. Croesus of ancient time, possessed about four millions of our money. Neither of the ancient empires, like that of Persia, Greece, nor Rome, were equal in size or wealth to the British empire of to-day. London is as large as New York, Paris and Berlin combined. It is ninety miles in circumference. ‘There are us many inhabitants as there are in Sweden. Each morning there are as many men go into London on business as there were who fought in Waterloo in 1815.

Sin,—Let me call attention to the pro- mises and performance of the gentlemen composing the present local Government. When in opposition they denounced deficits and promised if returned to power to stop them. oe The Hon, Peter Sinclair, in speaking ia the House of Assembly in the year 1886, said: “The country expects the Govern- ment to conduct the business according to the revenue”; and the Hon. Donald Far- puharson, in the same year and place, spoke to the following effect : “Good busi- ness men always live within their income. The Government should keep the expendi- ture down to the amount of the revenue. That was the policy of the Opposition on this matter,” Again in the session of the year 1889 the present Commissioner of Public Works had this to say of deficits: “From the report of the Provincial auditor we fiod that year after year the Government are ‘xpending asum far in excess of their receipts, This isa yicious practice and should not be permitted to exist.” And in the same session the grit party put for- vard their policy in a resolution submitted ny their Jeader, Mr. Yeo, in the following terms: “That in the opinion of this House he present financial state of the Province lemands an immediate and jadicious policy f retrenchment io the expeases of legis— ation and other departmeats of the public service in order that the annual expendi- ture be kept within the limits of the ordin ary revenue.” Then, again, the preseot leader of the Government, Mr. Peters, in the year 1891 in the Legislature, in referving,to deficits and the governments that had preceded his, spoke as followe: “They have allowed the matter to drift on but we intend to try and stop it.” Mr. Farquharson, in the same place and year, used the following emphatic language, “ Who would sup- pose that business men would remain in a government that would allow the finan- ces of the Province to get into such a deplorable state as they are in today,” and Mr. Sinclair could call to his aid even stronger language. He said: ‘* Which- ever party holds the reins of government hereafter they must make some provision for the revenue coveripg the expeoditure. They must endeavor to rua the country without piling up deficits; This should be the policy of all governments, but it ap- plies more especially to a small Province like thie, where we have no mines, miner- als or other resources to fall back on.” They didn’t stop here, however, Mr. Peters. the Jeader of the party in the ses- sion of 1893, made the following avowal : “| believe I voice the sentiments of every member of my government when I sav if we find some practical step must be taken on the question of making revenue and expenditure meet, we will first cut down our expenditure to the lowest possible point, and having done that we wil] ree that the other side of the account is made to square it.” Mr. Bell, in speaking on the Badget in the session of 1894, declared that “ the Libera] party were elected on the pledge to stop deficits. They must de so or for- feit the covfidence of the people” ; while Mr. Peters, in the same session, again put himself in evidence as follows: “ We are about, sir, to make a new departure, to cut away from old customs if possible, and I feel that it is possible todo so. It is not my desire to blame any particular Gov ernmen*’, but I feel that the line cf con- duct followed for the last twelve years has been most detrimental tothe welfare of the Province. We ail know what that line bas been. We are aware that year in and year out during these years Premiers and Provincial Sec- rataries declared at the beginning of the year that both ends would meet or that there would be a surplus, and just co often have these promises been unfulfilled. Now, as I bave said betore, we are about to start upon a vew ljine and imaugurate & new policy.” It will be noticed that Mr. Peters hera admits that the line of con- duct which he had been following as premier during the three years previous to the time be was speaking was most detri- mental to the welfare of the Province! What do his friends and admirers think of this important admission? What was the new policy he was then about in- augurating? Surely the hydraheaded bane we have ever since experienced, namely, exasperating taxation and large annual deficitte—the horn fly of taxation with the potato bug of deficits! Look now at how these gentlemen have fulfilled their promises. They were entrusted with power in April, 1891, and the Public Accounts tel] the following tale of how the business of the Province has been managed since thea :— 1891, BOOM GOR... cccdccccccccctscveeséeeces . $274,047.21 Expenditare . ...c.cccccsscess bancnie . 304,454.41 Deficit on year’s transactions, $30,439,20 1592, BROCEIPIS, .orccccccce” cncees 00+ D245,652,28 EXpenditure. ...cs.ssccseccecesees eee. 2,508 57 Deficit on year’s transaction, $37,651,29 1398, Receipts. o-..svcccccccvevces ppesacd-s- $217,473,03 EXpenditure.....cc.ceccececeeerereet: 337,415.36 Defcit on year’s sramenetiens, $119,942. 33 $O4.

But they have also during two years of this period taken from the people in taxes the sum of $90,952.66, which if added to their deficits would make $332,002.49 ! In other words, if no taxes had been imposed by them their average annual deficit would have amounted to $66,400.49 a sum ALMOST DOUBLE [THE AVERAGE ANNUAL DEFICITS OF THEIR PRE DECESSORS IN OFFICE DURING A PERIOD OF NINE YEARS WHEN NO TAXES WHATEVER WEREIMPOSED, Could anything better than these figures demonstrate’ the utter incapacity and faithlessness of these men? Do not the figures and quotations f-om speeches prove conclusively that they obtained power by false pretences and are holding on to Office in violation of every principle of deceney aud self-respect ? If there be some few who are still un- conyinced that our present local rulers are a lot of incapable deceiyers it cannot be because the proofsI have already fur- nished are not over overwhelming, but because extreme partizanship has so blinded their mental vision that their case is well nigh hopeless. That even these may be awakened and enabled te see the sorry plight inte which the preseut party has brought the affairs of our Province, I will iu a future issue bring before the public such farther proofs of imposition and incompetency that the most infatuated will be compelled to admit the great risks the Province runs in entrusting the management of its affairs any longer to these men, W. 8.
