Toronto, Aug. 95,â€"1.3» night Massey Music Hall was crowded with a remark- ably representative audience drawn from Manitoba to the Bay of Fundy. The towu delegation was remarkable. but that from out of town was wonderful. The chairman. W. H.

M.P., then delivered a fine address. which was punctuated with cheers throughout. Sir Richard Cartwright. Sir Richard Cartwright Was received with a waving of handkerchiefs. bums and the singing of “He's a Jolly Good Fellow." followed by three cheers and a tiger. Then an enthusiastic young man on the platform shouted, “Everybody stand up." and the whole audience rose and cheered again. This gave rise to an interruption from the audience, someone shouting. “What are you going to do with too sixty-nine millions?" which elicited from Sir Richard the retort: “Mr. President. ladies and gentlemen, I trust to be able to give the gentleman all satisfaction before I concludeâ€"that is to say, if he is one of those who is capable ;' of being satisfied. " Sir_Richnrd then proceeded: Mr. Presi- dent. ladies and gentlemen, I would be very insenslble indeed if 1 were not deeply moved by the reception you have been kind enough to bestow upon me. and by the sight of the magnificent audience whom 1 see an exubled here tonight. 1 am here to- night partly for the purpose of discharging an old obligation to the club of whlch you are the President, and also because it has appeared to me that now that the heat TllHREE’GEiTYElRS. l " (Churn) l and smoke of the session have partly van-_ lshcd away it might be as well to take ad. vantage of the opportunity to place before; the cl irens of Toronto. and also before the poople of Canada, some few simple facts which I think will tend to dissipate certain needless alarms that our friends the enemy appear to entertain as to the policy and roceedings of the present Government. 1-. President, there is an old saying that onlookers, at rate if those onlookers know anything 0 the game, see more than those who play. (Laughter). Now, for a period of some three years back I have myself been rather a badly crippled man, , and in consequence have been to a certain extent occupying the role of onlooker. that capacity two or three things have for the struck me rather forcibly. First of all. the attitude of Her Majesty's loyal Oppo- sition at the present moment appears to me, looking back on a period of some thirty years. as a rather curious attitude for an Opposition to take. Our present Op tion have no policy, Our present Mr. President. ( .angbtcr.) Opposition have practically no leader, Mr. President. (laughter and cheers.)

(Laughton) Now, i have noticed also that Sir Charles Tup- per brings forward one very grave and scri- J luble expenditure in the year 1895 the late Government expended for the administra- tion of Justice $755,000. We expended in 1b98 $705,000. bclng an increase of about 810,000. 1 and under the head of civil ous accusation against the present Goveru- i government that the late Government ex- mcut.

(Laughton) it is a very serious charge uglinst us: that I frankly admitâ€"flaughten -â€"but, being very serious, 1 venture to any that it requires very strong corroborative evidence, and more than Sir Churles' own testluion . Then. too, it is antecedently improbab e, if I may say so. It may be. although 1 would be very nory to think it, it may be that the Liberal leaders are nat- urally as bad as Sir Charles Topper: but, then, Mr. Presldent. they have not had the long practice. (Laughton) The truth is that since Sir Charles has assumed the ition he fills so well of leader of Her ajesty's loyal Opposition, in which posi- tion I wish him long life-(loud and long- coii'tlnued laughier)â€"for to my thinking the Liberal party have no better friend in Can- ada than Sir Charles Tupper as leader of tho Oppositionâ€"(laughter). They are at the present moment terribly exercised over the alleged reckless extrava- gances of the Liberal party, and the incon- sistencies of the Liberals. myself particu- larly, En pardoning and condoning those ex- travagances. I will recite briefly the charges which they prefer a inst us, They say that when the late overnment went out of office their annual expenditure in 1595 was $37H000000. which is perfectly true, while we demand for the services for the year 1900. $43,000,000, which again is perfectly true. They also say that we. in the year'1898. and before the van 1896 frequently declared that‘ $38,000,000. or ("'cn $37,000,000, under the then conditions of Canada, was more than the people should he cixllcd upon to my. which is :llS) per~ fcctly true. Now, desire to say, once for all. that my position is this: That what the Liberal party said in 1896, under the men existing conditions, was perfectly rignl and true. What they promise to do in 1900, under conditions which now exist, is likewise prudent and wise. (Applause) That is the point that I propose to demon- strate to you to-night. When I look back to the your 1896, and consider the condi- tions under which Canada was then plat-mi. I find it difficult to realize that only six and thirty months have passed since that time. There are occasions, and this is one of them, in which the progress of a coun- try in three years is as great as for the preceding thirty years. Such a case occurs perhaps once in a generation or a century, but has liberally been carried out in Can- ada within the last three cars. (Applause) I do not pretend to say of affairs was wholly and entirely because of the advent to power of the Liberal party. But I do say that We would be worse than f if we did not see it. and worse than co and act upon it. (App I shall be able to poln‘ mt to you berm-u I sit down that all these accusations made against us of wasteful, wilful and reckless extravagance are not only utterly mis- placed in the months of those who bring the charges, but are of themselves abso- lutely devoid of evidence. Alter comparlxlig Mr. Foster‘s estimates with those of r. Fielding. Sir Richard continued. Mr. Foster’s estimates for 1807 were almost exactly and identically equal to Mr. Fielding's for 1900. I shall give you the details presently. I would just make one further remark. These estimates of Mr. Fosterâ€"which I will give you, as I say, in a few minutesâ€"were brought down when? They were brought down in the early part of 1896. They were brOugbt down under circumstances which, if ever, should have imposed upon a Government the necessity of roceeuing with.extreme prudence and cant on. We had just closed 1895 with a deficit of over $4,000,000. There was not the slightest doubt that there had been. u to 1896, very little growth of our opulat on since the census of 1801. We find very heavy liabilities to meet, of which I note these papers that I have quoted take no notice whatsoever. The.volume of our trade and commerce was ve consider- ably reduced, and alto ther t e outlook was as gloomy as It wel could be. Now. air. under those conditions, these journal- ists and those whom they represent would have had. had the so seen fit. the most ample cause for th in go which they use today. They woul have had very good ground indeed for complaining that the late Government were throwing all wholesome restraint to the winds- that they were reckless: that they were lm ru- dent: that they were piling up liabll ties which they saw no way to most.

Those constitute, gen- tlemen, as you will see, the great bulk of what is known as controllable expenditures. A voice: What about rohlbition? Sir Richard Cartwri i: That came in this year. (Cheers) ow, gentlemen. 1 want to point out -to you what all this amounts to. Remember we are charged with being a most extravaaut Govern- ment. We are charged with ttering away your money and getting no return for it. I want to contrast the actual expenditure in a year in which It was tolerably honest- ly made. in 1895, with our expenditure in musâ€"three years later, be it remembered, with a much larger pnlation to serve. They expended 'in 1 $38,132,011). We expended in 1808 000,‘ an ex- cess of $700,000. 'ow, dies an gentle- men. how was that incurred? First of all is the sinking fund, which. as everyone of on know, directly out of one kct into the 0 er. We ex nded 7.0% more than they had expel: ed in 1805. For cultural and subsid or for‘ the u o promoting our trade we expend m: 000 more than they did. For immigration we expended $65,000 more with very .excel- ‘ lent results. For the Yukon territory we ' expended $800,000, in round numbers, and for railways and canals we expended $345,- 000 more than our predecessors had done, on our hands, as pointed out to you, ' the extension of the Intercolonlal Railway 7 and other charges of the kind. Those were but such a state ' : than our extra expenditures. amounting to 31,- 672,000. as you will observe scarcely more $700,000 excess. But for that we ob- tained extra receipts to the following ' amounts: From the Yukon, $1,100,000: for if we did not recognize .1 interest on investments caused b lause.) And 1 think .' the in- vestment of the sinking fund, $1 .000: for railway receipts credited to the extension to Montreal, $282,000.

Let us take one case which has been much criticized. one case to which my friend Mr. Campbell alludedâ€"that is. our expenditure on the (‘row's Nest Railway. For that we gave the Canadian Pacific Railway a matter of $3,300,000 or there- abouts. We exacted from them divers vou- ccssions of great importance to the North- west, of great importance to the manufae tuners 1nd artisans of Canada. Now. sir. wrist has that «one for‘ we people‘of Can- ada? Very lately I had occasion to inquire of a gentleman very well conversant with that whole country what the result of ex- uding that money in constructing the w'e Nest Pass had been In the way of adding to the wealth and vein portion thereby developed: and, after tak- ing some considerable time to examine it. he gave it to me as his opinion. and as a very conservative estimate which be sup- rted by very em le proof, that in all uman Krebsbillty t e construction of the Crow's developing wealth to the extent of thirty or forty millions in the on which was then opened.

Our capital charge on this cameo!» amounts roughly to some 81000 or $90.0”. Sir. the return that we get in added cus- toms duties and in added excise duties is, in all human ossobcbillty, a matter of $500.. 000 or $600. a your from that murce alc-neâ€"(chccrsHud probably in three or four years. or five at the utmost. the added receipts to your custom and excise arising from the construction of that same reli- way will amply recoup you for every he thing that has been spent Now.
