The Halifax fChmicla in reply to such a charge showis, ‘how Sir John Ind his colleagues provided {on poor relations when the; had a chance. I The Chronicle lays :--8ir ohn Mnodonnld installed his brother-in-law to Deputy Minister of Justice, at u salary of 88,200 a yen! Hon._ My. Longevin madehis brother I as the new government came into power? . This shows that the neformers who insisted upon an investigation into the fund were quite right in doing so. What evidence is i there to show that there was not a much larger balance in Sir John's hands at the time his governmeut was defeated. Here we see a Minister of the Crown who had forfeited the eotuidertee of Parliament and the country by his disgraceful sale of a public charter, keeping a. large sum of the public money in his own hands for two years after he had ceased to be it responsible minister. This is a matter which requires to be investigated and we trust that Parlia- ment will sift it to tho bottom. Sir John should be compelled to give a statement of the expenditure of all the money voted for secret service, not necessarily for publiea. tion, but to satisfy a committee of the House that it was devoted to a. Legitimate purpose. After the experience which the country has had of the corrupt acts com- mitted under Sir John's Administration, it would not lo 'rarpriaing to tind that some of the Secret Service money was used for bribery " elections, as well on for aiding seonndrcls, such so Riel, to oscspe punish- ment for their offences. It was proven in evidence before the House that Sir John sent 91,000 to the Roman Catholic Bishop 10f Manitoba tosiil Riel to escape tram the country, after he had raised the standard of rebellion against the Queen's Iuthority, and taking the life of poor Scott, a. loyal subject of Her Majesty. It seems that We hove not reached the depths of the corrup- tion in which Sir John's Administration use steeped, and the public have a rightto demsnd a full enquiry into this htest reve- lation concerning the Secret Service fund. _ A good deal of (linenssiun took place in the House of Commons previous to the de. feat of Sir John's government. respecting the secret service money. Sir John got Parliament to vote a. large sum to be used by the governmct at the time of the Fenian excitement for the purpose of procuring information respecting the movements of these conspiratorx'. Tho then opposition objected to placing so much money in the hands of the Premier to spend as he thought fit without any record being kept, or the least information given as to how it was disposed of,. s.tir John refused to allow e. committee of the House to examine into the matter or give any information as to the Mate of the fund. The public accounts _ just published Show, that during the past) year Sir John paid $25,579 into tho Treasury which he had held in Isis our] hands belonging to this secret service fund ever since he retired from the Premiership. The question naturally arises, why this sum has been retained by Sir John for more than two years after he retired from office. Why wns the balance not returned as soon (any. m expected the revenue from cus- tom: would be 018,600,000, Excise. M,. 800,00, and from other sources traifieient to make up the sum total of 523,400,000. m concluded his speech by referring to the experience of the United States, and ‘5howed nct only that the depression had been far more severe in that country than in Canada bat that both in exports and im. ports the prr capilia proportion was in favor of the Dominion. He claimed that the timutees of the country had been eco- nomically administered, that the credit of Caneda had been more then maintained, and that Canadian Securities were inereas. ing in the estimation of the capitalists; end that while compelled to impose ad- ditional taxes, the burdens of the people would be materially lightened. He took his seat amid loud cheers. “00.000 nnd $500,000. This he believed, would be 1sufiuiout to protect the revenue ngainst my defieieney from such causes an it was possible for any Government to thee percent. Mr. Cartwright then re- capitulated the We: of the (3er ment " in h the pm Go-tttii" took otha., and, which he diluted it hmn80to00miitioettrofdohrtond then‘ gov. theprineiralitemtt of the liability. He would heartily congratulate the Home onate enormous reduction that had taken plue in these liabilities, the result being I that with perhaps one more loan of B, moderate mount, and the postponement) for a. renewable time of works not demand- ing immediate accomplishment, the future might be {need without difficulty. He thought the maximum of expenditure hm] been ruched in the Northwest, and that cansidenhle swing would be effected in 1 the reduction of interest. On the current I Fear, as the result of the harvest, there _ would have been B small defieit, and it was,' in the Pounce Minister’s opinion, Je. sirable to provide for that contingency as well as to prevent it recurrence of a deficit in 1877-8. The means by which this would be tteeomplUhed was in e reodiust- ment of the customs and excise duties, and A change in the taritt. He entered into a detailed explanation of those proposed changes which unnot be given here, but he said the result of these heal chnnges would be an Mouse in revenue of between HELPING THEIR FRIENDS.
