“He would just glance slightly at a few of the results of their administration. The average addition to the public debt of the country since they had attained power had been over three millions of dollars a year.â€" (Hear, hear.) The deficit of the present year would be about five millions. That was ac- cording to their own statement, made before going out of office. But that statement did not contain the whole of the contemplated expenditure. it was well known that they were going to bring the whole power of the Government to bear on carrying through measures which wouid have involved this country in an expenditure of nine millions in addition to those five, making a total deficit of fourteen millions. (Hear, hear.) To have brought their Militia Bill into operation, to have bought drill grounds, to have built armortes, to have paid all the various officers to be appointed under it, and to have met the expense of organizing perhaps 50,000 men, would have cost two millions, merely for the inauguration of the measure, and after all it was not a measure which would have an- swered the ends the country desired. And besides this, the late Government was under a posttit'e pledge, and all their machinery insidiously at work to enable them to fulfil it, to have carried a measure through Parliament that would have granted seven millions more to the Grand Trunk Railway.

W'hen gentlemen are in Opposition, it is usual to allow considerable latitude to their statements respecting the acts of their oppo- nents, but when speaking under the respon- sibilities of office, and in possession of cor- rect information, no possible excuse can be offered for either exaggeration or misrepreâ€" sentation. Ihave, therefore, read the above statement by Mr. Howland, with both sur- prise and regret. Had the effect been mere- ly temporarily to damage the late Govern. ment,l should have awaited the next session of Parliament before noticing the attack; but as I believe such statements, proceeding from the Finance Minister of the country. are calculated to produce serious injury, I feel it my duty at once to reply to them. Mr. Howland says, “ the" average addition to the public debt since they (the Cartierâ€" Macdonald Government) had attained power had been over three millions of dollars a year.” Against this assertion I place the evidenceof Mr. Langton, the Auditor, before the Public Accounts Committ He says in answer to Q. 36~-“ Can you a statement of the increase of Public Debt since the 1st January, 1858, to let January, 186:3, including in ttthe changes Which have 813,â€"“) your weekly issue of the 215! instant, I observed that the Finance Minis :er, ML Howland, is reported to have made the following remarks at his recent election : (To the Editor of the Montreal Gazette.) censed jester ’7 of the British l‘f’hig is already beginning to sneer at the Ministerial profes- sions of a desire for economy. He says:â€" “ This talk of retrenchment is rot. A gen- tieman of Quebec writing to his Kingston friend sayszâ€"‘W'ho is to be. discharged is the cry here! The new Government has made a very fair beginning, by already ap- pointinsz several new clerks.

('ertainlv there was no good reason for the son of Mr. Rankin, a ministerial memt‘er of Parliament, being: foisted on the public even temporary. for there is every rea- son to fear that with sur-h a friend at Court his sitting- in the public departments will be rendered permanent. Of course we shall be told that is only a trifle. but triflvs show how; the wind blows, and it is vain to expect te-J trenchment from a Government which fillst already oververowded departments with the! sons of members of Parliament. The “ li-! censecl jester ’7 of the British Whig is alreadvi Mr. Vezina has written a letter to a M0n~ treal paper, designed to inform the public that he has been dismissed from the Bureau of Agricniture and Statistics. and that a son of Mr. Rankin. member for Essex, has been ap- pointed in his stead. It is answered on be- was'thrown with great force at some parties on the boat. This was the signal for a gen- eral melee, and several parties from the wharf rushed on the boat, but were met by parties on board, and a severe scuffle ensued, several were injured, ond bore the marks for several days afterwards. A good deal of ill- feeling was thus created in the town, which was amply shown on Saturday night last, whcn the steamer returned. Though ,it was late in the evening. about 9 p. m., a crowd assembled on the wharf, and followed the band as thev passed up street, with shouts and groans. A good many rotton eggs were thrown at the band, and the crowd was har- angued by several leading spirits, near the corner of King and Division streets, when cheers were given with great gusto for Jefi‘er- son Davis, Beauregard, and the Southern Con- federacy, and loud and lusty groans for Abe Lincoln. Whatever indiscretions the band may have committed, there can be but one opinion of the character of such riotous as- semblages. They betray a sad want ot good government on the part of the town authori- ties, and everybody asks where are our magisâ€" trates? “7e believe the band is broken up forthe present, but will soon be reformed again.

We are informed that they had arranged to play “Dixie” on the wharf, and “Yankee Doodle.” on the boat. The first part of the programme was carried out satisfactorily, and when they reached the dock of the steamer they com~ menced to play “Yankee Doodle” as arrang- ed. This tune was very offensive to parties Av: ‘171‘ -â€"-L‘_c Appointments to Office. An Unpleasant Affair. 'mm the Globe. Besides the $2,050,000, the sum of $700,- 000 was proposed to be expended on the Ot- tawa Buildings. In this case, no one can pretend for a moment that this sum can truly be considered as constituting what is under- stood as a “ deficit.” The cost of the Parlia- ment Buildings, whatever it may he, must necessariiy be distributed over the present and next year; but, when completed, will in fu- ture form no annual charge. No individual building a house considerers the cost as form- ing part of his personal expenditure for the year, or would, in giving a statement of his atlairs, represent himself as having conse- quently failed to make his annual income balance his outlay. A claim of this kind would be very speedily disposed of by the In- come Tax Commissioners in England. Our case is precisely similar as regards our Par. liamentary Buildings, and though it may be good political tactics to state the case ditfer- ently here, still I think the duty of the Fi- nance Minister would have been better dis- charged by endeavoring to show how far the Provincial wants for 1862 were susce tible of satisfactory explanation, rather than y lend- an“ .L .......... A been 4 ......................... $2, 402, 000 Of which amount I propose to raise ing the sanction of his authority to statements calculated to produce the belief that a “ deficit ” of five millions had to be provided against for the future. The only explana- tion that suggests itself is that in 1863, as these items cannot then recur, the Finance Minister may desire to give himself credit for a vast reduction of outlay, by saying “the ‘tleficit’ in 1862, when I took office, was $5,000,000â€"â€"this year it will be only one, two or three millions.” For all the requirements of the Province, I-stated in Parliament that $5,152,000 would have to be provided, and deducting the sums hereinbefore noted, $2,050,000 and $700,000, the defict of ordinary income, would have The sum of ................ $2,050,000 of the “ deficit” stated by Mr. Howland has, therefore, in part, not been created at ail; and, for the remainder, has no more connec- tion with the ordinary expenditure of the country than had the thirty miliions of five per cents., issued in 1860, principally in ex- change tor sixes, with the expenditure of that year. Existing debt happens to mature in 1862,and must of course be provided for,â€" as must recur from year to year, so long as the Provrnce remains a debtor. leaving to be provide} ”by Ex- .equer Bills” . . . . . Mr: Howland neit proceeds to say, “ The f deficit of the present year would be about five millions. That was according to their own statement.” New, sir, no such statement was made, as can be readily proved by reference to my speech on the Budget. The deficit, apart from new taxes, was therein estimated at $2,772,978, including $370,000 for the pay of the Militia; but, it was added. that pro- vision would require to be made for the Militia armories and clothing. $480,000â€"-â€"in all $850,000 ifthe Militia Bill were adopted; also, for the payment of the debt due since 1854 to the Seigniors, $800,000 ; also, for the redemption of the Municipal Loan Fund Bonds called in, $400,000; and for the Otta- wa Buildings, $700,000. It may be permitâ€" ted to many uniformed persons to treat these items as if they constituted ordinary and re- curring charges ; but it is highly censurable in the Minister responsible for maintaining the credit of the country.

In this view then, the average annual deficit for the last four years has been only $1,406,224, while if the other insisted upon, it has only added two and a quarter rnillionu annually to our debt. In either case Mr. Howland has most seriously overstated the amountâ€"and - ’v'v-v After giving the particulars of the same expended in Public Work, authorized to be met by loans, and on the Seigniorial account paid from Special Fund of 1854, M r. Langton replies to the following :â€" Qâ€"“Deductiug the $1,806,241, nominal increase of debt by conversion, and the ex- penditure for Public Works, and Seigniorial Tenure, what has been the actual excess of expenditure over income since January. 1858 ?” Ansâ€"~“ Making the deductions of the increase of debt above stated, there would remain a balance of $5,624,891. ’ In re 1y to Q. 87â€"“ What has been the effect 0 this increase of debt upon the annu- al charge for interest?” Mr. Langton shows that estimating the whole increase as hear- ing only 5 per cent., the conversion of the public debt and other arrangements connect- ed therewith have reduced the charges there- on-â€"so that the gain in interest would be $132,288, an amount which represents a capital of $2,645,760, and so far as the an- nual charge on the public is concerned, is equivalent to a diminution of the nominai inâ€" creaseof t_ie_bt $8,977,822. “ Net increase of debt. . . . $8,977,8fl” or less than two and a quarter mxllxons per annum instead of three millions. «- noun, 5.. .55“ “I” UU|° "a!“ (I.

But this 18 a very ditferent matter from a grant of “seven millions of dollars,” which is wholly without foundation in fact. ' A fitting time and place will occur for cor- recting statements made by other members of the present administration, who certainly cannot complain of unfair or ungenerous treat- ment toward themselves. I would only in conclusion suggest to these entlemen, that while misrepresentation of t eir Oppenents may be an admirable mode for obtaining of. lice, and may be extremery-useful in explain- ing the eagerness with which they, in Upper Canada, abandoned their political principles at the only time when they had an opportu- nity of causing them to prevailâ€"yet the pub- lic will very soon take more interest in their own proceedings than in those of the late Government, and will undoubtedly demand extreme excellence of those administration at the hands of those who rest their sole claim to power upon the alleged abuses and blunders of their predecessors. Iam, ir, Your obed’t. servant, E“ seven millions more to the Grand Trunk l Company,” I declare that it is a pure inven- ’tion ; no such sum, nor any other sum, would have been granted by the late Government to the Grand Trunk Company. The Company claimed they were underpaid for the postal service ; the questiJn was left to arbitration, and is now proceeding with the concurrence of the present Government. No grant or subsidy beyond what the award may give the Company was ever contemplated, and the capitalization of this sum, whatever it may be, might or might not have been recom- mended to Parliament, according to the de- gree of security which the re-arrangement of the atfairs of the Company might have ap- peared to offer for the performance of the ser~ vice. My own Opinion has never been con- sealed on this point, and I have no hesitation in repeating it, that if the capitalization of the postal payments would enable the Grand Trunk Company to adjust their aflairs, the gain to the Province would far outweigh such RELIEF, and if you are not sstisflod of its superiority, ‘- m ‘15ng the medicing, the price will be refunded by tbs Agent, {n all c4593.

As regards two millions for the Militia, they exist only in the heated imag- ination of the speaker, as every one must know who has read the proposed Militia Bill, and the debates upon it. And as to the Mr. Howland is also reported to have said that the late government centemplated a fur- ther expenditure of “ nine millions in ad- dition to those five, makinga total deficit of fourteen millions,” of which he is made to say that two millions would have been spent on the Militia for armories, drill grounds, c.; and “ besides this the late Government was under a positive pledge and had all their machinery insidiously at work to enable them to fulfil it, to have carried a measure through Parliament, that would have granted seven millions more to the Grand Trunk Railway.” The defeat of the his Government relieved us from responsibility; but it is noteworthy, that while the House was perfectly ready to have given the new Administration a vote of credit, with an adjournment for such time as they might have desired for the pur- pose of considering the important nesttons of our defence and finance, they pre erred to adapt all the “ extravagant ” estimates of their predecessors, (except reducting the Ot- tawa vote to $500,000 instead of $700,000,) of which not one item had been passed be~ fore their acceptance of office. And also as- sumed such responsibility of obtaining such legislation as in their opinion would meet the difficulties of the position. The financial legislation of 1862 was conducted under the advice of the new Government, and time will show whether the mutilated form in which the Finance Minister adopted portions of my fiscal scheme, will be effective in preventing a larger “ deficit ” of ordinary income than that estimated by meâ€"as shewn before $1,- 062,000.
