conclusion that the sur- claimed by the Government is a mythor as late Hon Mr would say theres nothing to it Col however was cautious and candid enough to admit His conclusions reached such data as he had able to gather the public accounts and campaign documents published Some which we now submit for the consideration of our readers and for Again it asked if Province has such a largo surplus why not pay off railway debt above alluded to instead of borrowing money to pay oft those- railway certificates The question is a and equally obvious to who facts The Ixjcrowcd to meet railway grants lias obtained by tho Provincial Government at pan and by so doing instead of taking thin amount from the surplus Jive Wnf twasury is advantage urn- thereby effecting a saving of the dif ference in interest to the We think Government is to Iks for this It shows ability along lines of financing not by Mr Whitney friends in the of Dominion luTairs Now just a few words an other feature of Provincial finances and Government Administration and we have done In first place the affairs of the Province have been con ducted one J But instead of direct taxation- the departments of have so economically managed that during the past yearn the Government has to tfui to fawn Mttnmjml enormous sum of an increases over the amounts granted iii 1871 Just fancy it total in crease of grants over made to the people during the past years to Education figures up to to Agriculture and Arts to 1488- to Hospitals and Charities to to Asylums etc to 10973078 to Administration of Justice to to Colonization Roads to 1427463 thus making up the above 22301810 and by the same token had the pre sent Government grants to the above purposes to the totals granted by the Government to which the point as their model the HardyRoss Government would tolay have hod an additional to their present surplus The increase to the purKses stated last year over 1871 amounted to The Government has ever been a pro gressive instead of a sordid and penurious one the people have had the advantage- and taxation reduced to ratepayers of the Province by the additional grants thus nlade Every dollar granted to Education for instance was just bo much less for the people to pa in school taxa tion and so in regard to the other grants alxvc quoted No one who will candidly ponder over these figures but must reach the conclusion that Ontario has been wisely and judiciously governed and that the present is no time for change became at the in crowd got for bo- Provincial It to hoped he two MM by viz South Bruoo and

surplus of assets over liabilities and bearing interest amounting to This not denied oven by Mr Whit ney but the LtOol province has railway liabilities pay able during the next forty years and these liabilities should be deducted before declaring what the actual is This might be regarded as argument if the Province had not for these liabilities as ley mature not otherwise for the sake of argument and to give the opponents of the Government J the benefit of their contention let us I admit their proposition and then see how the record stands The railway liabilities which Province has in curred payable during the next forty years and which will be paid out of current revenue as they mature had they all been paid off on day of December lasr would have taken to wipe out Deduct amount from the sum on hand and bearing interest on the of December last and tho Province would still have left as a surplus of assets over these very liabilities which Mr figures should be deducted from the claimed surplus of the Government Then again if we have no surplus as both Col- and the preach er contended how is it the Provincial Government admitted to the Legislature and country that they had received as interest from moneys in the hands of the Dominion Government This- is marvellous thing the Province annually receives interest from the Federal Government An amount which capitalized at per the rate Vfr which the interest is payable would represent a capital of nearly I Now unless Col ling supporters show that this received interest fast year from the Dominion treasury a myth then Iris ilit tie story about being a myth electors to however we argue on anything like but he has in his data conclusion- to Hod Mr Provincial the Government will carry at least two more eeala In the than were

by observing that the lecture delivered by Mr Campbell word for word the same as the in Londons Encyclopedia It never to Mr Whitney tbat Mr wrote the alluded to and now tbe laugh on the man who did not know The letter of Hon Mr to tue liquidator of the Farmers Loan Company offering to for hie release from all liability with QUI prejudice alike creditable to his head and heart Local election prevent our giving the text of that letter week but it breathes an honorable manly spirit and will raise the Hon gentleman high in tho estimation of the public In general and hie constituents in particular Rib offer to distribute from to among widows and of limited means who took while hie name was connected with the Company is specially considerate and commendable A bill been introduced in he Com mons long demanded by the and men our cities It provides among other things that all fa the hands of the Government or under its con trol payable out the consolidated re venue fund Canada be liable to at- at the of judgment creditors just the same as if the money was held the hands private persons This will make those In the civil service who liabilities come to time like debtors The Conservative candidate for Russell Mr H acknowledges that before he would consent to become a candidate he was promised a position in the prospective Cabinet of Mr Whitney by Sir Charles Tapper In this fact we see further evi dence of Sir Charles hand to capture the Treasury benches of Ontario a stepping stone to defeat the Liberals at Ottawa Dr wanted a similar promise from Mr Whitney before he would spend money contesting East Toronto The promise was withheld and the Doctor stepped down and out Mr Whitney did not care so much for the waning cause of the P A for the prospective help to be derived from the possible capture of in- on the eastern borders the Pro vince Great head London Prat this ob servation The Govern ment has robbed the municipalities of millions of dollars under the

he made a statement that great weight with the electors when they go to mark their ballots next Tuesday viz The Liberal Government of Ibis Province expended eightynine millions dollars and not one

cost was rais ed by direct taxation They were paid out of current revenue and no scandal attaches to their construction Tab Opposition candidate in this Riding made a fatal blunder to his intelligence when the public schools of to day were not equal to those of twentyfive years ago In this regard Col education and his knowledge of the history of our education al system are defective It cost more to run the Department Education years ago than to day and it parents leas to educate their children today than it did under the old to which the Opposition to to there were no less ibeo text books today
