He congratulated the provincial treasurer on Bis moderate and Tempe Ito speech. He said he had moved the adjournment because he had not had time to a timing the Public accounts in a satisfactory Way to be Able to discuss them Intelli to complained of Tho tardy manner in which the different depart ments brought Down returns Aud of their Wii Hho Ding Public documents from members of Tea Tho Cuso should have gone in o committee of Supply on wednesday Faylim tha motion been put into effect As notice via Given bus Tho Public accounts were no b delivered to the House until after lie session of wednesday.

No Quay How is used to the Welkin ring denunciations of Thyl j sailing of the House together at a won a the year which he stated was a great to Membern a Well As interfering i tic careful Ana satisfactory examination into to Public accounts. The Hon. Gentle men hid gone Back on that Plank of the platform by had advocated in opposition As As on Kany others. It was no1 in the Public interest that thu House should be called together at Thia season. Probably Nino tenths the members were engaged in pursuits and in there waa m Eyota Nalion of Laid before the they must prolong the session until Wing time was Well of or entirely Over. The a Frise should be called together in de Taber or at Tho very latest in we Noleat Opportunity Given for exam Inatio of All questions. He had been pm Tad to hear that the government desired lae Matt searching analysis and fullest Dis Cussion of the Public accounts. He presumed 116 w9s included in that general invitation he would therefore not be subjected the mid Guitia that had been heaped upon Fern it session when he undertook to discuss Public accounts i the ital account. Or. Rohlin referred to Tho statements Kon. Or. Jones in 1888 is having constituted basis on which the financial Structure of a Kent government had been built. One it it most formidable clauses in or. Jones Imi Clment of Hod or. La Riviere s and minis i of Tho finances was Bhat the assets had sely estimated at whereas i we Only or a shrinkage to in ins budget speech on 13tb Matij or 1888, or. Jones said the of the province was u i at Nick of claimed by Lak n i i Zero As duo to Tho province the bolter terms Zigr Cement of 18s5. Jones thought Tho Dominion govern u in Niou was the one which the Prev inc Lave to accept. The amount claimed 8 government was i. My V.R. keep k s disputed amount while them waa claimed by Tho pre Aeno from sent that sum As duo by the Federal want ve3 he would Liko to done by the i Rovin Nial in tl18 a Ftp of pressing the claims of to. The attention of the author that re Lawai Trelc u had been r gentleman Ond Tho attorney had visited Ottawa to press this had remold had been Given to the Public.

Lariviere with prov Man with pc Vitious Cudei Tho Dominion statutes Wuu id soft Cicely expect the Public in such a Way an to continue fran to Saeta. According to the state of the 30th june 1888, compiled a Section of or. Jones Puiwa r in i _ the province under the made by the delegates in 1885, h making a total of Domini on government subsidy in 1887, in 1888, this Jyh Makuk total of stm.150.10. To the capital account gives of capital and subsidy of or to or.

In the state Mon of Tho provincial treasurer do we find him rating these fictitious assets or adding com Pound interest on Tho fictitious claims until they Wora increased to a considerable sum Over what or. Lariviere claimed i the total of capital and subsidy was this was calculated on the same basis As or. Lariviere 8, Only the interest had been comp ended from to year on the Domiuk in government unpaid subsidy until at present it Wai ?l2o.842 g9, and the total j or or. To Dpi Thuro was a licit Tiou of that a an accumulation of from Odd to 8300 Odd. Sup pow Elliis Zoes on 20, 80 or -10 years we would bankrupt the Dominion Treasury and the bunk of England if is wore paid. If Hori. Gentlemen have a Calina there in Nece Ujiiye of its being pressed and adjusted Etc once. It Cert july in ridiculous on the fact of it Lite amount in accumulating in such a Way thai Tho volume will be appalling in the near future. One of two things was established either or. Jones was falsifying the position of Tho province for the purpose of injuring or. Lariviere s financing or be and his Suc Eudora were falsifying the assets of the province. The matter of the Cash. He had very serious difficulties last year in ascertaining the whore about of the Cash owing to Tho Peculiar Noliea Mado in the books there had been very serious difficulty in Hatab Kishiue just where Tho Cash was. It was after a while located but in the location of that Cash there Vas shown a disposition on the other Side to prevent those desirous of know ing the facts securing that information. However he they had reconsidered their position Aud were prepared to allow Tho representatives of Tho people the fullest of part Unity to examine into the finances of the country. In the Public accounts of 1890 there was to the credit of the province the Contention get up last year by Home who undertook to vindicate the position of affairs that Tho compilations of the Public accounts were Only for the expert Booklet per was wrong they were made for the Public generally and should to so compiled that the Moat Ordinary Rynn would to Able to understand exactly How Tho affairs of tha province stood. He had said year and face repeated now the entries had been Raap in such h Way that unless Given and detailed info nation furnished from the department itself it was impossible for an Ordinary Man in the country to know what Cash belonged to Tulfo province Aud what did not. Was the amount shown Tho Cash that belonged to the province was that the amount available for any charge or demand the province might make no it was not the following sums should be de Duett Daud should be entered in the Public accounts 3o that an Ordinary Matyi could Seea Talanco the difference a tween what is held in Trust and what belongs to the province. Take the items m. N. W. R., m. . Col. A court of Queen a by Nib 425.10 Law fees fund unclaimed moneys lands titles municipal commissioners sinking fund 947.05 official administration or a total Trust fund of Leav ing the actual Cash available belong ing to the province not As stated in the Public accounts it was most misleading to Hsue such statements As that now brought Down. He regretted thab the provincial treasurer persisted in bringing Down the accounts in this Way. Cer Taii ily it could Havo Only one to be Wilder those desirous of ascertaining exactly the condition of affairs to far. As the Cash a concerned. Suppose a merchant in his assets put in All Liis Cash Aud makes no mention Bills payable with which he to use that Cash would to a dishonest statement be considered criminal deceiving the creditors. The Sirmo argument applies Here. There is no statement fire to show that belongs toothed people. He talking about the Public people through Tho country Are supposed to see. The statement ought to be so made that be who runs read und understand and not require professionals to explain regarding items. The balance Sheet., referring to the much vexed question of last year the balance Sheet or. Roblin regretted to eoe it come Down in pretty nearly the same Stato in last year. He supposed there no use in having advice lie urged that the entries he made differently not for his information but for the information of the coun try at Large As Well As in the Inte Icet of the Hon. Gentleman . We find in the balance Sheet in Tho debit Side the m. N. W. Debenture account. But immediately under that less amount paid to Date loaves also m. S. W. Col. Debentures less amount paid to Date leaving the above railway companies Havo paid according to the balance Sheet on their indebtedness to the province yet the provincial liability has not been reduced to the extent of one cent As the entry in Bop Public accounts would make it appear. His Contention was regarding this that the moneys should be placed in a separate and distinct Call it railway debenture sinking fund account the Money should to invested at the earliest possible moment at the rate of interest the province is paying on i to Bonds. Such moneys were now lying in the Bank drawing 3 or 4 per cent interest while the province pays 5 per cent on its Bonds. This matter of that he had referred to so far As he waa Able to locate it in the Public accounts waa actually included in the consolidated Revenue account. He admitted that he had had Only about 24 hours to examine the Public accounts bub so far As he had been Able to locate Ohe moneys referred to they had been included in Tho consolidated Revenue As stated. Let a suppose Liat May happen any Day Viz Taho railway company arrange with some land company to take Over All their lands paying the government in Cash All liabilities incurred under the railway Aid act for which the lands were held by the province As Secu would the Hon. Gentleman do wish his Cash would he still enter it on Tho debit Side of his balance Sheet Aud Call it Revenue if he did to would some time Wako up the fact Hixt there was a provincial liability equal to to amount received from the two railways mentioned and if Hud frittered it away the consequence would be most serious to the in Vince. Now what should be done is to put nil these rail Way moneys in special and investing them in the Way he had mentioned particularly if it was expected that duty we to be understood. He hoped the honorable gentleman would yet see the Aeo Etsity irrespective of himself or any member of the House to so Amend the method of entering these moneys that Tho people would to Able to see exactly How they stand. Revenue and Exi knit use. The provincial treasurer yesterday figured out a surplus or. Roblin ouly wished it was us real As it had been to appear. He bad undertaken to ascertain As nearly As he could Bow the honorable gentleman arrived at the figures he lad submitted and How far he was justified in using to figures a had to produce the result. He had stated that the Ordinary Revenue of the province was Tho Ordinary expenditure 211.17 leaving surplus of Over the expenditures. Now How did he arrive at this the total expenditure was be subtracted from that the following amounts refund of proceeds of court hone property railway construction 1s0.49 railway Aid Asylum Wing reformatory for boys 749.33 deaf and dumb Institute Home for incurable erection of Public land titles office new jail site at Portage la Prairie braking a total of leaving an actual Pend iture according to the Bon. Gentleman s figures of which subtracted from the receipts gives the surplus before stated. Or. Koblin proposed to Turu to the Public accounts and show some of the items the Hon. Gentleman included in this state if they were properly chargeable to capital account. His own View was that they should be charged to Ordinary Oxendi Ture maintenance Etc., and that the Hon. Gentleman s statement was not Correct. On Page 150 of the Public acco nats under the head of reformatory for there waa a running statement regarding the expenditures in that institution. He asked the first minister if he thought the following things were properly chargeable to capital account crockery Blau kete Pillow cases Scales brushes window blinds towering baskets clock butter tins table Linen carpets tinware brooms Hay Oats chop Thene items ran up to some or that was one Way the Hon. Had of working out a surplus. Turning to Page 155, under the head of the and dumb similar entries were Towel Inge quilts table covers six Doxen pint jars Eto. Tho Hon. Gentleman certainly did not rive the matter Tho examination he should have Given if lie wished to bring Down a Correct statement. He or. Roblin did not think the House would Norco that Toafe items were proper charges to b e placed Oil the capital account he. Therefore deducted Thal amount. The Bol. Gentleman also included a a charge on the consolidated Revenue thai to had paid goo go Ole Menea a a refund for Tho Purchase of the old court Bouse and jail on Media fit tet hair. Roblin bad considerable dih Mculty in locating Ihbe ascertaining it had came from where it Wix going and How in bad been originally Dis posed of. He found Chat in Tho Public accounts of 1888, this was treated and accepted by Clio House As consolidated Revenue. If it was so considered at that time Why should in not be so considered now when under Force of circumstances id was necessary to return it to 3eo. Clement. There waa another item of for the Purchase of a site for a jail and court Honeo at Portage la Prairie. He had been at Portage la Prairie recently but could not ascertain that the government had made the Purchase of a site at All though he heard something about promises having been Mads. Hon. Or. Green Way stated the bargain had been closed since the beginning of the year. Or. Roblin accepted Tho statement. He vent on to show that instead of a surplus there waa an acum deficit. He had eliminated that could not be properly charged of capital account and he found the result somewhat different. Tho Ordinary Revenue was Tho expenditure Ess the amount paid to the . V.r., 480.49, and Aid Morris Brandon which subset rated. Left a the actual Ordinary expenditure making a deficit of 32. If the Conten iou of to government woes Correct that he. Cosh of Public buildings should to de inched to which to was not Dio posed web Jeoff there would be a different result. There was for the Asylum for thai insane 722.91 the reformatory for boys the Deas and dumb Institute the Tome for incurable erection of buildings land titles office 92 total he proposed o deduct or Tho site of the jail at Portage la Prairie which he admitted it Way proper to do if the investment bad been made. The actual deficit in Tho year s business was thus or de ducting the 32. This appeared on the surface from the Public accounts. There was something even More Signi Licano Ilian this. Last year the Hon. Ook considerable credit to himself and the government that they had been Able to operate the business for the year without tiny apes Al warrants. To did not this year make reference directly to the fact that he had used no special warrants but intimated As Plai he could that he had been Able to to lie Uuttu to Ucli Urio Vul to i a plish vory satisfactory results and wished nation. Lie trusted that some of the Buggea credit for Economy. He further with this or. Roblin he had Jeen Able to keep the expenditure within the Revenue. Regarding Spe Ivial warrants certain Lowers were vested in the executive where in Shiy could use Public Money and voted by the House. This was in itself not wrong or Bhe Power would not be vested u the lieutenant governor. Wherever to Trent North South East or West to Brandon Portage Winnipeg everywhere he was mob with Tho question Why did t the Tho government of Manitoba Jay their debts after we have rendered our Bills Why Are we cent out of our Money so Long in Many costs he had been unable to. Say anything because to did not know the Facto. To assumed thab it waa for the Pur pose of enabling Tho provincial treasurer to Orue no the House and take glory to the government that they had been Able to conduct the business of Tho House without spa rial warrants. To prove that the government had not paid their indebtedness he turned to the Public accounts trom which he showed that the clerk of the House had been paid Only out of voted h. A. To lean Law clerk had been paid on account the private Secretary to the lieutenant governor out of the balances should have been paid in 1800 and if the were exhausted it wan the duty of the government to ask his Honor for special warrants. The amounts named Are very Small items compared soothers that can be pointed out. On Page 75, Public accounts we find for salaries alone in Laud titles office Winnipeg due office vials 1889, Page 79, another amount of and other Large amounts he could name which if mid As they should have Beec would have materially increased Tho deficit. It a an open open secret that Large amounts Are unpaid in he Public works department Aud cannot be met until More funds Are voted by the House. Or. Smart asked for particulars. Or. Roblin said he would move for a return f Hon. Gentlemen wished the information in a More definite shape. Tub 1iun10ipal Grant. The government took considerable credit As to Bhe municipal Grant of or. Rob Lin charged thab there was a Moat Runsab Isaac Ory Abate of affairs existing regarding the distribution of these moneys. Several treasurers through the country had spoken to him and to others As to the arbitrary course of the municipal commissioner. They claimed that the Money never reached them they said the municipal commissioner a Auiona High Haud cd Way appropriated it to some purpose and did not give them such information As they were entitled to receive. To thought it Desira ble that the Hon. Gentleman should bring Down concurrently with the budget full abatement of the disposition of these moneys in a report Laid on the table so that All Munici Alises and parties interested would have the information they required and see id what Way the had been disposed of. He assured Tho Hon. Gentleman that in some sections of the country if there had not been an actual wrong done there had teen at least an imaginary one. Permanent Avdi Tob. While speaking on municipal matters there is another thing i wish to refer to it being in my opinion of considerable importance. There is no doubt that in Many municipalities the condition of the municipal books Are in a most unsatisfactory condition. This is confirmed by the request for special audits every now and again. This is largely Tho re sult of the bookkeeping More than any other cause. I am informed by one of the Moat experienced accountants ind auditors that while Many of the municipal clerks and treasurers do work Well the great major Ity Are otherwise. In fact when an audit is required in detail in Many Carea it becomes impossible to take off a balance Sheet owing to Tho method of keeping Bhe records. All this would a avoided if we could have a uniform system of keeping municipal books. My idea would be to have permanent auditors whose business it would be to establish a uniform system of municipal records and accounts and have each municipal books audited by him each year. This would place the officials in such position would guarantee a perfectly satisfactory statement each Finin year. I make the suggestion and would be glad to see it carried into in. B. Ba1lwat. The Hon. Treasurer has stated that the h. . Co s indebtedness of was without Security. Now who was to blame for that Hon. Or. Friends Tho Dominion government. Or. Roblin what does the Hon. Gentleman mean in 1888, this House voted to put the Road bed in a satisfactory shape so that it would pass inspection by the Dominion government Engineer when the lands held by the company would be transferred to the pro Vince. What had the first minister done with the when the Rote passed in 1888, it was unanimous of liability had been created and there was no Security. The House recognized Tho necessity of spend ing to secure did the first minister secure it no although he had adv9 rated the h. B. And rung the changes on it through the country generally. Although be had testified a to the ability of the president of that Road and tha t the province Hod engaged to guarantee four Ana a half millions Sofita Bonds yet when . . Com Pany appeared of Tho scene in the Hon gentleman immediately went on All his pledges and his policy As Well and in his determination to destroy the scheme was willing to endanger the interests of the prov Ince to Bhe extent of rather than make the necessary expenditure to secure the Grant. All that for fear that the company might in some near or Remote period profit it the waa put in shape. This House instructed the Hon. Gentleman to pub the Road bed in shape so As to secure the province but their instructions were ignored with result As stated. As to the Large in count of Cash in the Bank not Emch Cretin Vos due to the government Lor that. 1 he policy both of the government and the Oppositi ii Viuca 1885, had been to a Cuie an Independent outlet. It won found necessary to build the Road with provincial fun Nils and to Securo it those debentures were is biped for then the Road was sold again and a considerable portion of the funds were in Tho Bank. While the Bonds of Tho prov Miro carry 5 per cent Mereat Cash draws but 3j or 4 per Otenti to that them is very considerable loss owing to Chat . Ion. All had agreed that the Road wits a necessity. He had agreed As to the Sale of the Road to re Heth the necessity of operating id a a government undertaking bub not to Mako it the property of any other corporation which would prevent Competition As pc to at present. The question which involved the future of the province More than any other and involved the necessity of the largest measure of Aid and the Busti possible results was that of immigration. Unless to had More people in the province Bhore was no possibility of our Over attaining the greatness there is in store for us if our natural resources Are developed. There should to an Active aggressive and effective policy. The first minister had recently visited Europe in refer ence to immigration. Or. Roblin did t know Asho could endorse the proposed moving caravan but to whatever the government proposed that hid for Ltd object the promo Tion of he Ivond give his cordial Earnest support. Twenty five thousand Dol Lars bad Boon pub in Tho estimates for this purpose he wished it had been we could Niford to spout More we the country settled that those now in isolated districts might have neighbors Echols churches ate. He trusted the government would be More vigorous than in Tho past. He went on to give a comparative statement from census returns showing the ratio of Progress in the settling of Dakota Imd Manitoba the result of which he As most unsatisfactory and humiliating to a who believe in the or canc is of this country Aud the vant Ages it offered. In Dakota in 1860 there were souls in 1870, in 1880, m 1885, in 1890 the certified census returns were not available hut Bhe estimated population was in round numbers. Manitoba had in i860, starting with 2j Binies As Mary As in 1870, in 1880, in in 1890, according to the Best estimate he could get from the use of municipal figures in round num Bers. These facts should produce activity and Zeal in regard to immigration. Tho advantages of Manitoba were much Superior to those of Dakota. Large numbers of those included in the statistics of Dakota were moving As quickly a they could into Manitoba and Tho Northwest Terii tories he would be glad if the government would inaugurate a More vigorous policy of Imu ii tons he had made would be accepted by the government nud acted non Asho believed they would be in the interest of Tho county in doing so they would receive from thin soda of Tho House the cordial and Hearty support the Mir it of the questions demanded. Hok. Or. Or Konway. Hon. Or. Greenway replied to my. Roblin. He said Tho Dominion government bad been asked to give some Assurance that they would hand Over the . Land Grant if the Road wri3 completed but no such Assurance had Given. _ the government and made inquiries and intended to charge up Agni not the Dominion government the amount the late government claimed to to entitled to receive. The member for Dufferin had in neatly become the Champion and ardent Porter of the government at Ottawa. That government had never treated this province Asib ought. They had charged us with Tho amount for the selection of swamp lands and then they and refused to hand Over the lands. As Tio bar. Roblin o charges of capital account or. Green Way replied that Premier Moab charged similar items in a similar Way. He spoke sarcastically of or. Roblin s remarks on immigration and his advice regarding the auditing of the accounts. My. Wood. Or. Wood reviewed the policy of i the government speaking up to c o clock i chiefly in reference to the railway questions. He said Bhe government had Given up defend ing the Northern Pacific policy of Tho ground that it had afforded Competition. Claiming now that it had afforded increased railway facilities in the building of 300 Miles of Road. He explained also oho circumstances of the offer of messes. Boss Onderdonk to Complete the h. B. B. Road for the 40 Miles and to extend it go Miles More also to secure the land Grant of acres a mile and restore the Worth of also the provided the government would not disturb the guar Antee act. He attributed the change of policy of the government in reference to the h. B. B. To the introduction of the Northern Pacific. No doubt the n. P. A had been the main Factor in murdering the . A Home. At g o clock Bhe speaker left the chair. Evening session my Wood in continuation condemned the policy of the government in relation the the a b. B. Co. And advised the Premier to be More careful in writing his letters. He referred to Tho pre Mier s scheme of emigration and condemned the idea of bending a caravan through eng land. To suggested United action with Bhe . And the Dominion government and the distribution of Correct literature Etc. He referred to the Grant for Educa Tion and pointed out the injustice done to Catholic schools in withholding the Grant to them whilst the question of Bhe constitutionality of the school Bill waa before the Courti. He referred to the taunt that the opposition and no policy but imagined it would not be difficult to contract a policy by avoiding the mistakes of _ the present administration and concluded Bis speech with a warm Appeal to the government to change their attitude the h. B. Co. Or. A. V. Jia tin moved the adjournment of the debate but the government insisted that old should be continued. He thought More time should be allowed to consider the estimates. The first item he took up was that of for Leeal expenses in Tho Martin Pitrea press libel suit Aud held the government should also pay the defendant s costs because Bhe province prosecuted and lost the Case he contradicted the statement made by the government that he had never Mot . In rom in the Richelieu hotel Montreal when he was uttered funds if he would become the Liberal candidate in Provencher and maintained that he did 30 meet that individual. He charged that the Premier wont to the old country up n pass and instead of giving the province the Benefit of such he charged in his expense account Bhe fall amount of that transportation. Re Ferring to increases in the salaries of which the government said there were Only a few he pointed out there was a dozen or to and spoke of the shameful Economy by which Oue poor clerk Hod three weeks pay deducted from his of still salary while absent while another with salary who was also absent at times did t have one cent deducted. He denounced the government for their action regarding the Souria Branch and claimed that the Portage Branch was Only built to accommodate the attorney general and Nob in the interest of Manitoba. Tho government wanted to close Down the m. W. Railway to oblige the Northern Pacific and in cuu Cua the attorney general practically wanted to baud it Over to Bhe n. P. Regarding the vote to education he claimed that a the catholics would not accept the new Bill Tho govern ebb should while the Bill was pending in the courts pay a fair share to that body. There was an increase for Public buildings and no new Public buildings were being erected. He can Demrod the government for the reduction of some salaries to starvation figures merely to make a Good showing to the country and pointed out that now they were compelled to increase some of them a number of which he mentioned also referring to the creation of new offices. The principal in creased were in be attorney general depart ment and these were made he said to help his election in the Portage. While Only one examiner waa requited in the Morden Aud Brandon land titles offices two were needed at the Portage office. Some Large salaried offic its had their pay increased and he held Bhat u done the smaller salaried ones should Alao be treated similarly. He referred to the Home for the incurable and noted the increase in expenditure which tie attributed to. The. Pending elec Tion. There were increases All around and doubtless they will All be Good voters there were new positions which would by office to Kef of Tho refractory quiet during the con f in. There wore a Cook laundress and n uti omit which were not needed year. The coot More lire Light clothing and incidental were Hiasw. Then or. Martin referred pathetically 10 Tho Reform Doty it Brandon which Coa ofor january and february 5500. And Lor what purpose one would suppose there would be 100 children there or or 35, or 10, or 5, or flu 2 but them War ouly Ona for the minister of Public Wilts or play Ith when to went to Brandon. Laugh cot Vyvah in in the Interne of the province that the government should continue this pcs Del their ilium in item of a Cheque in Valn to Simm for a jail at the a bid for votes for Joo Martin. Or. Martin then sati Mically alluded to Tho Friendly filing existing be Tiven the pc Mie Aud Liis attorney general one calling Tho other a Lim Ond the other reporting that bin Coil Ngim was without a conscience Aud a the opposition if not the government would be do lighter to have Tho actor y Genorn m Liia seat again. Or. Gre Mcvay the Cheque to which or. Mai tin referred Wim issued before 15th january , and Cou d have no connection with thu Portia be Ali Diun. Or. Marlin replied Htit at any rate it was still in existence. To then went on to speak of Tho voters Loop and claimed j the govern ment conveniently allowed Tho Portage list to to used while withholding Thiau in Winnipeg South and Manitou. What pretext had the government for this the Portage list was revised the Sirmo Timo As the others. Or. Greenway contradicted this and Naid the intention was that their would be no election without a revised list in the two other divisions. They Bud All a greed that when Tho lists were Over one year old there should be a revised list in Case of an election. Or. Marbin claimed Liat this was Obly neck nary preceding a general election but or. Green Way denied in and said the Portage list waa revised on 15th april last and the other lists in february and Decem Ber previous. Or. Roblin agreed with or. Green Way re Garding a revision if the lists were Over a year old. Or. Martin said the government could revise the lists in two we Etc and wanted to know Why this was not done in Winnipeg South and Manitou. Mil. Silton said the criticisms of the opposition convinced him Liis course was Correct in supporting the if they could find out anything wrong they would have done so and their failure showed that nothing wrong existed. If in carrying nut the Public business Noth ing could be Lound to show unfaithfulness of Tho unit of Tho government there was no reason Why their support should be withdrawn. He claimed that or. Roblin had found a deficit of half a million last year and Only Thih and if Tho former could be overcome in one Short year the govern oat should be congratulated. The whole thing amounted to a question of Book keeping and or. Sifton pointed out that to Long no Tho amounts were Correct and injury waa honestly expended it mattered they were charged to capital account or current expenditure he contended that it was possible especially in reference to railway debentures to mix up Obe accounts under different head bub Tia Public accounts showed that everything was perfectly Clear. After a reference to the immigration policy of Tho Dominion government which he characterized a it total failure he said it refreshing to get an intelligent policy such a submitted by or. Greenway which would be advantageous to the country. He did a t take or. Martin s criticisms if they needed a reply they would to Given in committee. He claimed Tho government had been Friendly to Tho h.b.r., and had done no act of repudiation As charged. Under the act repealed no Boulb had been issued and it bad been repealed at the the company. The present act had been passed unanimously by the House and the opposition had nothing to complain of it now. If a slight increase were required to get the Road in operation he would to glad to vote it. He claimed the government was carrying ont the spirit of Tho election act and it would be an outrage to disfranchised those now entitled to vote by using old lists. No election would be held until after Tho session in Winnipeg and Manitou and then it did not matter if it was not held for a month or so.
