Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 30, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Saturday oct. 3.0, 1876. Toe Capek House. The members of the present Legisla native Assembly wore returned less than a year ago upon professions before their constituents that they would assist in administering Public affairs with All the Economy possible consistent with a reasonable degree of efficiency. We Lieve that thus far in the main they have honestly endeavoured to do perhaps in no instance was their Hon esty better demonstrated than their vote on the abolition of the legislative Council last session. To their credit it again recorded thai when the question of the abolition of the Manitoba House of lords came up a govern ment Issue the vote stood in the As Sembly Eov Onteen to five thus Demon Strating in the most emphatic manner that the people of Manitoba As Well As the Dominion government regard an upper House for this province entirely unnecessary. Such was the action of the House of Assembly upon the legislative Council. Kow let us see wishes of the country As expressed through the representatives fresh from the people was met in the legislative Council. That body after calmly Esti mating their own value to the country and weighing Well it must presumed the effect of the vote they wore about to give found that they were equally divided As to Utility of a second chamber in the Little province of Mani Toba and upon Iho question of ratifying the action of the Assembly the vote stood in the legislative Council a tie and that body was prevented from Vot itself out of existence the casting vote of the speaker being Hon. Or. O Donnell now go loud in de manding that the government show bettor evidences of Economy before bet ter terms should to accorded them at Ottawa. Believing that his professions of retrenchment would carried out in practice the government elevated him to the sea worship of the legislative and he took the very first Opportunity to declare his vote that his professions of retrenchment and Economy in every department were hol Low and his conduct since would Indi Cate that too much How hath turned Lis head. It is this honorable gentle Man who perpetuates the expensive Lux upper House and in weighs in season and out of season against the because they do not show a greater disposition to retrench and economise before demanding bettor terms at Ottawa. Could hypocrisy 2-0 further were fed from it that averaging the. Lives of these at five years we have one fifth of that bum As representing the grass fed to them in 1870, Viz next we find the value of the animals slaughtered for food in that year to Boas this in annual product the whole of it will for the present credited to the grass crop. Next we find that the butter crop of 1870 was pounds which at the Low average of 25 cents amounts to and this goes to the credit of frass. Next we have Gallons of which averaged at the Low estimate of 10 cents per gallon adds More to the grass crop. Then to have pounds of Wool at 25 cents a Pound adding More and finally pounds of cheese at 10 cents adding Over to the total credits of the grass crops of 1870. Which now let us add the value of the Hay crop As Given above Viz to have a grand total for Hay and the products of grass consumed on the ground amounting to this is of course subject to deductions As the meat butter cheese and Wool producing animals consume other food besides grass and Hay. To ample allowance for this we deduct the or tire value of the Corn and oat crops of 1870, estimated at and this leave a remainder of to he credited to the Hay and grass crop of that 3 oar when the reported Gate of All farm products was if our estimates make even the roughest approach to accuracy the value of that crop was two fifths of the aggregate value of All farm products and hence to May infer two fifth of the capital then invested in agricultural pursuits was devoted to the grass i of and this in the United states equals in round numbers from these figures the deduction is palpable that King Cotton is uncrowned and dethroned and we May forced to flesh and nil else is Hay if not Straw and Grain reporter.
