Let us look into the matter a little. The yresent government collected $22,000,000 more taxes from the people in the three years of their administration above re- !erred to than the Conservative govern_ ‘ ment did in their last three years in office It would be naturally expected that they would have something left after taking this enormous sum in extra taxation from the pockets of the people. But where is their boasted surplus 2 As a. matter Of fact there is no such surplus in existence. The money has all been spent and in addi- tion to the $20.000,000 of extra taxes levied on the country they have mhde away with $7,0(l),000 more, which sums appears as an .addition to our national debt, This is the statement that would appear at the head of the coiumns of the Grit newspapers if they wished to deal honestly with their readers :â€" Total taxes for three years of Lzberal rule, 1897-1900. .$ 102,776,746 Total taxes for three years of Conservative rule, 1893 on '70!

More money was collected from the people than was required for the ordinary expenditure, but instead of applying the annual surplus to the reduction of the public debt it was squandered amongst the friends of the government. Had they reduced the debt they might have had some excuse for that peculiar system of finance, but the deb: has been increased and the people will nod ”be misled by dishonest manipulation of the public accounts. â€"Mail and Empire: Canadians, more particularly those among us who are en- gaged in agricultural pursuits, will experi- ence keen disappointment at the attitude of hostility assumed by Mr. Fisher. the Minister of Agriculture towards Sir Chas.

It is really difficult to understand how it happened that Mr. Fisher was ap- pointed Minister of Agriculture. In the past he has antagonized the principal movements looking to the encouragement otthe profeSsion over which he now pre- sides. He fought against the Experi- mental Farm stations so useful to our prime industry. He has opposed all efforts toimprove our position in the British market. Such was his record as a private member of Parliament, and it certainly does not stamp him as the ideal head of 31:0 department he new rules. CERTAINIJ' SIR CHARLES.
