Perhaps if Mr. Wilson were to tes- tify in his own behalf, the situation might be equally confounding. {Ask YOUR LIBERAL" FRIENDS. There never was a'ea`inpaign where so little denite answer was or could {be made by those in power to den- extravagance, and graft. The Liberal party seems to assume that the very magnitude and multiplicity of these accusations will prevent the average Voter from either realizing on believ- ingethem. Surely it isitime then for every intelligent man to inform him- self on these denite allegations made against a the Liberal administration -and to ask his friend, who is ordim ite accusations of mismanagement ,- arily a Liberal voter, the following` questions :- I_. `Would you continue tointrust your business to an agent or camp- any who habitually paid. two and three prices to special friends for articles easily obtainable at normal prices in the open market`? `V i ' 3. `How ;do you -defend the em- ployment by the Laurier Government of W.

T ` WHERE DOES THE `MONEY GO The question of great importance in` the "Province of Ontario` shortly before the Ross government was. turned out of office was Where did Stratton knew but did not answer. The people answered the question for` themselves. Mr. Stratton retired from public life. Mr. Ross, after a short term as leader of the `opposition, found refuge in the `Senate. A new era dawned with !Mr. Whitney s ac- cession, and," Ontario now enjoys r about a similar result at Ottawa? the money come from? Mr. J._.R. 1 % honest government`. aWhy not bring` The alarming increase in the pub- lic debt, and the undisputed fact that ?Mr. `Field-`ing s gross estimates for 1908-9 amount to $168,000,000, not- withstanding ` that :Cana_da's revenue is just now falling at the rate of $20,- 000,000 per annum, suggests another. 'question of far greater and more general importance, Where5 does the money go? ' In 1896 Sir Wilfrid Laurier used these words I:- promise you that if you put our party into power we will reduce the annual expenditure by two or three` million dollars per annum; and Sir Richard; =Cartwright"was wont to say that it was a disgrace and a shame to the -Conservative govern- . ment that they should ask for an ex- penditure of $38,000,000 a year for Federal purposes. It is fair to take the -Department of Marine and !Fisheries as an ex- ample of all other departments, be- cause that Department has lately re- ceived specialattention. from Messrs. Courtney, Fyshe and Bazin in` their report onvthe `Civil Service. It should never be forgotten that these gentle- men ar_e -all strong Liberals. These Commissioners nd that the only purpose which seems to actuate the Marine and Fisheries Department is that of spending as much money as -possible. 'Zeal`for economy and,good management is not visible.- There is not only a `lack of efficient organiza- tion and method in the Department; but, it would seem, an utter lack of conscience. _ 1 3 `I The report directly charges the of- ficials of the Departmentywith as- sisting, supporters of the government to get better prices from the govern- ment than they could get from any- body else. In other words, some of the government s officers are serv- ing two masters, and apparently suc- ceeding with both--scripture notwith- standing. ` V Can anybody of sense doubt what this means? Is it not perfectly plain that the people of Canada are being robbed, and that their money has gone,` and will go still if they do not ,be_stir themselves, to fatten the hun- gry horde of party followers who are Liberals` for revenue only, - and to secure their votes to perpetuate this iniquitous system of graft?
