Mr. Cook then refers to Sir Richard CartsW1'ight'8 apology for increasing tlie expenditure beyond an amountthat. had been condemned by the knight and his fellows in. Opposition. Sir Richard said in his Toronto epeech of August, .1899 :- H ...n;. .u -re`! I .- ,|_ 1,896, when the Liberal party ob- jected, and with good oauae,- to the great expenditure, I doubt it sihoe Canada became a nation, if since the period of Confederation, there was ever a time when-there was such a need for economy as there was in that year. The diehioneetiv of this pleaie -shown by Mr. Cook, who points out that the Liberal denunciations of the foijme-I_'_- expenditure, and the pledges Igolosyer it, were made before. 1396i '1`he.oon venticze resolution on the subjects was passed in 1893; Sir Louie Davie? `te- marks, quoted above,` were made in 1893. It was in 1889 that Mr.iMills'. said the expenditure could he cut in two. Mr. Mulock's eccnomv speech was made in 1895, and Mr. Pateraon aV in I890. wvuv .4 1307.1. ... ..s3s 349.759*00; 1898...... .. 38,832,525 1000 . . . . .. .. 41,900,500 1000. . 43,175,000 .0 ~ 159 HVi-f1~,1g(3 Of ' greater by $3,195,140` \h~u_1.t_be .|"aV0$!"v-0 age (101-mg the last fuur ..yeaii*a`df _the_ C0ns Administration, or: $7, -' 6029,64? mam per year than our oppon; . eats spa:-.0 on an average. during H0he_i_r- eighteen }enr8 of power.

Unfortnnatelv for this excuse, it is not borne out by the Government's ovvn oicial returns. 2 In V the" trade and. navigation returns the percentage of taxation per head of the population is gured out. and the gures show that the taxation per head has increased since the present Government.-came into power. More than that, the figures show 'that,while under Con- servative rule; between -1882 and 1896; the taxation in .proportion to popu- lation had decreased by $1.12 per head, since the advent of the present` Gov- ernment instead of . the promised reduc- tion there has actually been an increase of $1.16 per-head, or $5.80 per family. run TARIFF PLANK.

I no- tice`-that the Premier is `credited -by the newspapers with having.said,' in the course of a recent address, that he and his party never promised free` trade. I am not willing to believe thathc has been reported with absolute accur- acy. for such a statement by him would evidence a recklesness of utter- ance and a contempt `for the under? standing and intelligence of his audience such as I would not -like tolbelieve any. public man- could begurlty of and enters tain. a No statement could be plainer, no promises more explicit, than"-ourgpret election ones. were !hiI..qsasti9n-` Yet with shame and humilistion. we must cunfesswthat theyhahve been thrown to the w,i,n.ds.~ - ` Dsosivsb was rnnrsnsxrran rnansns.

The latter made some hasty reply and , rode o quickly. The man from the , prairie then took the lasso from his saddle, "gave it a couple. of whirls, and Mr. Dutchman came to a very sudden stop. After dragging the Dutchman a few yards on the end of the rope togive him the full benet of being _lassoed, a lieutenant in thelmperial service rode up and threatened to have the man with the jag arrested. But the Jag said something about' the whole Im- perial army not being able to do that, and some hot words ensued. _ When the ofcer A rode c` with the intention of getting the" Westerner arrested, the lasso whirled again, and a scene similar - to that before happened, but with the oicer at one end pf the rope. The i lieutenant stopped and `very ungrace-r fully dismounted. After being trailed a short distance, the man from the , West said he would let up if his , prisoner would reconsider his decision to have him arrested and promise not to appear against him if he was we in by anyone else. The lieutenant gave in, and kept his word, so nothing was , said about it. I think it willbe some time before that cicer will forget his short acquaintance with the man from _ the Canadian prairie."
