This large sum of money has been expended in works of perâ€" manent utility. In Bentinck and Glenelg 1t was applied to the eonstruction of roads and bridges, in Normanby and Egremont in the building of School Houses, and the public Hall in the Town of Durham is & monument of the sagacity of the present Mayor of the Town, in securing a proper application of our share of the Municipal three millions of dollars bave been paid to ulation to every unindebtel municipality in the Provinee. Under this scheme over Aunother question for the settlement of which the Reform Government is ontitled to great praise is the Railway expenditure. In appropriating public mouey for railway proposes the Government of Mr. J, S. Masdonald arrogated to themselves powers which were very dangerous to the public interest. ‘They wanted to have the power of determining not ouly what railways should be aided, but the amount to be given 0 any individual scheme. Upon this quesâ€" gion the electors very properly defeated the government of Mr. Macdonald, and on the formation of a Reform government the appropriation of public money in aid of railways was placed under the control of the Legislature. Since that time over two aud a quarter millions of dollzrs have been #xperdcl in aid of railways throughout Mope, Niagarn and others. Successive gevernments tried to grapple with the question but failed. But it was reserved for theXovernment of Mr. Mowat to solve the problem in a manner at once just to all parties interested, and satisfactory to all sections of the House of Assembly. The The method recommended by Mr. Mowat, as our readers already know, was to make an allowance of $2 per head of their popâ€" Equally absurd is the charge of incomâ€" petence. One cannot look over the work of even one session without being impresâ€" sed with the ability and diligence which has characterized the administration of Mr. Mowat in the work of legislation. In anâ€" other colunan will be found a statement of some ot the legislat‘ve measures which lavs le»» placed upon the statute boaok by the present Government. But there are two pieces oflegislation for which special credit is due to Mr. Mowat and his eclleagues, one of these is the settloment of the Municipal Loan Fund Debt. This question had its origin over a quarter of a century ago. For purposes of local imâ€" provement mary municipalities had borâ€" rowed public money, and failed to pay either principal or interest, The debt acâ€" cumulated until, in several instances, it had become so large that it was impossible for the indebted municipalities to pay. At the Conservative Convention held the other day in the Town of Durham, the folâ€" lowing resolution is said by the local organ to have been carried unanimously :â€"*"That we condemn in the most unqualified terms the extravagance and incompetence of the Mowat Government, and heartily endorse the course of the Opposition under the able leadership of Mr. Meredith." Similar charges of ertravagance and inâ€" competence were made by Meredith, the leader of the Opposition, in a speech which he delivered at Richmond Hill on the 25th w.t. General statements of this sort nare very easily made by men whose sole object is to injure the churacter of those who are in political opposition to them. But when theso men descend to particulars it is at once seen how unreliable are their facts, and how fallacious is the masonry which they build upon them, A loud cry is beâ€" ing raised by Conservative politicians in the press and on the platform, that beâ€" ment, the increase and enlargement of public institutions necessitated by the cirâ€" cumstances of the country, and the increasâ€" ed cost o° maintaining them. Previous to Confederation, in 1867, the only Asylum for the Insane was that at Toronto. 1In 1871 the Toronto Asylum was enlarged and a new Asylum built at London under the administration of Mr. John Sandfield Macâ€" donald. But the further enlargement of these institutions, and the purchase of the Rockwood Asylum from the Dominion Government, and the erection of a new Asylam for the Insane at Hamilton, were necessitated by the cireamstances of the people, and were projected and carried out by the present Government. Thus the average yearly expenditure on public works which, up to 1871 was $270,000, increased during the last sevron years to $311,832. Bo with the cost ot maintaining these inâ€" stitutions. ‘The patients have more than doubled in number, and, itill further, alâ€" though the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Belleville was opened in 1870, and the Asyâ€" lum for the Blind at Brantford in 1872, the cost of maintaining them had only well begun when the Reform ministry under Mr. Blake took office. So that it can be at once seen how unavoidably the average increase of expenditure rose from $153,158 yearly previous to 1871, to $315,5338 since them. Yet it is upon these and similar inâ€" ereases in expenditure that Conservative politicians found their charges of extravaâ€" gance against the Mowat Administration. emuse the erpenditure by Government has increased somewbat since the adâ€" vent of a Reform administratn, that therefore the Government is necessarily an extravagant Government, while, at the same time, no allowahce is made for the natural increase of the cost of administraâ€" tion, the excess of work in every departâ€" Durham, May 1, 1879. THE CAMPAIGN. REVIEW. The workmen of Brown & Co. of Ingerâ€" sol have strugk rather than submit to a further reduction of wages. Mr. Hay M. P., Furniture makey of Toâ€" ronto, has discharged some workmen and reduced the wages of those who ware kept on. the Provinte. These sums together with large amounts &ppropriated for tha conâ€" struction of colonization roads, drainage putposes, and various works of pullic imâ€" provement, amount to no less than $17,â€" 560,570 which have been paid out of the ordinary revenue, while there romains still in the Treasury a surplus amounting to nearly five millions of dollars. It does thercfore seem very extraordinary that even a Conservative Convention could charge a Government which can present such a record to its constituents, with being either incompetent or extravagant The Noxon Manufacturing Co. of Ingerâ€" soll have reduced wages in their establishâ€" meont. per annum, The Waterloo Chronicle says:â€"We reâ€" gret to learn that the proprietor of an im portant industry in Waterloo, employing a large number of hands, has been compelled to reduce wages all round to the amount of 10 per cent. ‘This is bad for the poor people whose espenses haye been incroasâ€" od by iniquitous tarif.

Ogilvie & Co., manufacturers of oatâ€" meal at Goderich, notified the Government that the new tariff would compel them to close their mills, This has been done and some hundreds of men have been thrown out of employment. Hutchinson‘s large flouring mills at Godâ€" erich have also closed. Among the many good things which were to follow in the train of the National Policy, according to the loud protestations of its advocates, none were more prominâ€" ently put forward than increase of work and wages for laborers and mechanies,and better times all round. However in this, as in many other mundane affa‘rs.the result is very different from the auticipation. It is not only that work and wages have not increased, but while manufactured goods have advanced in price, wages have been brought down, and many operatives and labourers have been thrown out of employâ€" ment. In looking over a few of our exâ€" changes we find accumulating evidence every day of the injury which has been done to the country by the new Tariff. A prominent manufacturer of agriculâ€" cultural implements pronounces the N. P. to be a "monstrous fraud." PROTECTION AXD THE STEEL TRADE. The discussion which has arisen in conâ€" nection with the purchase of $860,000 worth of steel rails in England by Mr. Vanderbilt, of the New York Central, lmas thrown considerable light upon the doings of protectionists. Since the Tilley tariff has gone into effect, it appears that tho cotâ€" ton manufacturers of Cornwall, Dundas, Lybster and Hochelaga have agreed toâ€" gether to put up the prices of cottons, from 8 to 10 per cent., according to the quality, The price of cotton bags has been increased 8 per cent., and yarn 11} per cent. In the United Stater, where protecâ€" tion has been in force many years, everyâ€" thing connected with it has been reduced to a system. Thus, in the matter of steel ‘nila, the manufacturers formed a ringâ€" such a ring as our cotton nabobs have just formed for the purpose of fleecing the conâ€" sumer,â€"and, supposing they were safe from all foreign competition and had the market for themselves, resolved to charge what they pleased for their goods, and t> turn out an article just as inferior in qualiâ€" ty as they could dare do. There is a beautiful state of affairs. Of course the railâ€"makers‘ corruption fund of 43 per ton, furnishing $1,500,0600 per anâ€" num, is equally available for stringling new competitors, as it is for securing the susâ€" pension of already existing works. Fancy the cruelty of tnese cormorants, who, rathâ€" er than come down in their price, club toâ€" gether and hire one of their number to close up their works and discharge all their hands, the owners in the meantime drawâ€" ing as much profit as they would if werkâ€" ing, or more. Then imagine the Congressâ€" men in pay of these millionaire sharks getâ€" ting upon their legs and platitudinizing about the beneficence of protection to the ‘ workingman. | The following from the New York Post which we clip from the Globe, will show our readers what may be erpected as the fruit of the National Policy in this Canada of ours:â€"*"The high price of American rails was to be found in the fact, not generâ€" ally known to the publis, that the 11 steel rail mills in the United States pooled three dollars per ton on their product, and that whenever one of these mills stopped runâ€" ning the others paid to it three dollars per ton on its productive capacity. ‘The Vulâ€" can Mills at St. Louis, with a capacity of 50,000 tons were standing idle, but the stockâ€"holders received $150,000 per year from the other mills, and were in no hurry to start the works again. This $3 per ton, of course, comes from the pockets of the consumers. _ The _ American manufacturers were protected by the tariff to so great an extent that they had believâ€" ed their control of the market here was abâ€" solute, and in consequence they had not tried to make as good a rail as they could. Before Mr. Vanderbilt‘s purchase they were talking of putting up the price of their rails to §45 or even $50 per ton at the works, thinking that this would bo enough below the foreign price and the duties to cxelude English competition."

I am &c., But to conclude, we would not forget to say a few words about this machine, that grinds out such wonderful evidences of gonius. ‘Well may he compare it with that of his eminent contemporary, Burr Plumb. Both seem to be pretty rusty,and must grind very slowly, especially the more modernâ€"of the two. We think if Glenelgite were to put a little oil here, tighten a screw there, and when this was done, connect it with a high pressure steam engine, his machine would probably grind better, and perhaps would turn out more in afew minutes than it has done in the past few weeks.

Further, he says "had ho lived in Benâ€" tinck he would show the boys there an exâ€" ample, which, he tried to do on the day of the wedding as well as he could." Really Rentinckites,this of Glenelgite is extremely rich, just think of taking the example of a Glenelgite as a paragon from which to copy. Who would imagine that Glenelgite was so silly as to suppose we would heed him or his example ? and yet he himself would seem to think that we "poor Benâ€" tinck boys" aught to do just as he did. Glenelgite was surprised to see the Benâ€" tinckites assembled in their "Holiday cosâ€" tume," what may we infer from this? but that the Glenelgites wore there thomselves in their everyâ€"day garb, or else that the occasion did not warrant such display on the part of the Bentinck boys. ‘ But about the grief and lamentation caused by this bereevement to the young Bentinckites, I fail to see where it was.

During the past week Mr. Lauder has been holding a series of meetings throughâ€" out the Riding.

Mr. Rorkeâ€"a lifeâ€"long Conservative #ss he declares himselfâ€"and who has been attending most of these meetâ€" ings disputes this position of Mr. Lauder, presents himself as the true Conservative Candidate, and on the ground of local reâ€" sidency and long Municipal services, claims a general support.

Such is the state of matters in East Grey. Three Conservative Candiâ€" dates are in the ficld. A large part of the time of some of the meetings has been 06â€" cupied by these gentlomen and others as to who is the real Simon Pure Tory Candiâ€" date of the Riding. ‘The flatest contradicâ€" tions have been made and repeated by either party against the other and while the nudiences appear rather to enjoy the spectacle of a house divided against itself, it might be a little more becoming and decorous were this very dirty Tory linen washed at homeâ€"away out of sight of the public piatiorm. As to any defined public policy by any of the three candidates, they dont seem to have any such. _ Mr. Rorke says Mr. Lauder has no Policy, M1. Lauâ€" der says the policy of Messrs.

Mr. Lauder also intimates in his usual modest way how influential he is in the House and some have even left his meetâ€" ings under the impression that when Oliver Mowat is ousted by the Opposition, A.

Who, 1, his Christian rectitude and spotless life 1;, added the many beneficial reforms he lin, been instrumental in placing upon the statute book, it must be conceded thut the Ontario Premier has a right to ask and ox. pect a renewal of the confidence of {},, electors. Notwithstanding the determinc| efforts of a not over serupulous Opposition to damage the Ministry in the eyes of the public, Mr. Mowat and his colleagues have successfully passed through the ordea} of & most searching serutiny. ‘The only ac, A liberal policy in establishing and supâ€" porting a number of charitable institutions for the insane, the blind, the deal and dumb and all other affiieted persons : and at the samo time regulating the amount of aid granted to Lospitals and charities y the amount of work done and of contributions reeived from private sources. Grants of money in aid of a large numâ€" ber or railways, in connection with which was the principle of giving Parliament a voice in the granting of money instead of leaving it exclusively in the hands of the Government. Investing a considerable sum in the purâ€" chase of municipal debentures, for the purâ€" pose of encouraging the drainage of wet districts. there were other liberal measures in tho interests of the people, as for example : Providing for the public health when contagious discases threaten the country. Giving repose to land titles by shortenâ€" ing the period after which a man‘s title io the property he possesses may be free from danger. Providing additional security for holding of policies of insurance, by preventing the companies taking advantage of unjust con» ditions. of administration which the Opposition Itave had the temerity to chaBenge,has bec,, the indemnity increase, and in this they had to confess themselves prime moye;; as well as participators. ‘The electors «; Ontario will do well to prmuse before decil. ing to cast a vote ngrinst a Governmen; that has done so much to ertend their treedom and guard their intorest; as M;.

Previously those who were paid salaries were disqnalified, but the law was not made to apply to those paid by fees as well. Legnlizing marringes by cleryymen of all denominations, and relieving trom disâ€" ability marriages which had? been consumâ€" mated in good faith, but which were illegal from informality. The payment of witnesses in criminal cases, thercby | facilitating the adminisiraâ€" tion of justice, by securing their ationâ€" dance.
