From 1892 to 1896, under Hon: George E. Foster's management, the government of Canada cost $210,708,819, or an average of $42,141,764 per annum. During the past six years, 1897 to 1902, Hon. W. S. Fielding has been called upon to expend $314 542,026, or an average of $52,313,671 per annum. Last year the expenditure reached the enormous sum of $64,000,000, or $21,000,000 in excess of the highest figure of the Foster regime. The government had no extraordin- ary demand made upon them in 1901, and the population served was only about 300,000 greater than in 1896. For every inhabitant more than weg had in 1896 Canada provided $70 last year. If weaccept this as a legitimate outlay, the logic- al conclusion is that Canada instead of spending $64.000,000 per annum should disburse $373,800,000. That proposition is an absurdity. Yet it only represents the proper cost of government if each of Canada's 5:340,000 inhabitants cost $70 per year. The question 'that naturally arises is, where has the $21,000,000 of extra expenditure gone ? It can- not be said that it was lawful. No Minister of the Crown would dare to attempt to justify an annual ex- penditure of $373,800,000 in this country. Yet the Laurier adminis- tration has added to our expenses ~ atthat rate. It is impossible to that the people benefited entire outlay. And if the didn't, who did ?
