E. B. A^OOD Legislative Assembly, Toronto, Fridaij, Dec. 10, 1869. Hon. Mr. WOOD said — Mr. Speaker, — In rising to move that you do now leave the Chair for this House to go into Committee of the Whole, to consider of " the supply granted to Her Majesty," it is expected I should make some observations on the pres3nt financial position of the Province of Ontario. As I have no new taxation to propose, and as the Province, in fact, has no debt to provide for, and as the Public Accounts for 1868, and the Statement of Receipts and Expenditures for the first nine months of 1869 — bringing the operations of the Treasury Depart- ment down to almost the very day of the meeting of the House — were placed hi the hands of honourable gentlemen almost at the opening of the Session, it seems superfluous that I should indulge in any very protracted remarks upon a subject which must be nearly, if not quite as well known to, and understood by every member of this House as by myself. This would appear to be all the more so from the full, and I hope clear and explicit manner, in which I have endeavoured to bring down, and lay before this House and the country, the estimates for the ensuing year. However, it appears to be expected, on an occasion like this, that the person occupying the position I do, should make ?, general statement of the present financial standing of the Province, and the results to be anticipated from the future operations of the Treasury Department. In the Dominion Parliament, in the House of Commons in England, perhaps there is more necessity for such a statement. But here, where our power of taxation is limited, our sources of revenue well defined, a clear financial statement of the Public Accounts in the hands of every member—every one taking any trouble to do so, under- standing our finances, as I have already said, almost, if not quite as well as myself — I feel but little interest can be imparted to the subject by any ^ "W.J ■.■M:.< explanations thnf 7 ui, 71 , ^ general custom .1 . ^""^ ^«>We to offer H. that we haclanew rnv ''^^''■"^i'e'-ity.

(Hear, licai). , Mr. BLAKE — That is after providing for the yeiii's appropriations, I suppose ] Hon. Mr. WOOD— Yes. I Mb. BLAKE — Then yoii will not expend all tlio money mentioned in the estimates 1 Hon. Mr. WOOD — In my calculations, as T Iimvo already said, T liave made amjjle }>rovi8ion for all the nppropriations of the current yeai- that wUl be (?xj)ended )but, of thoM^ ajtpropriations thei-e will be a sum, which I estimate at i^336,074.14, that will lapsci on the 31st December of the . current year. I repeat, after meeting iill expenditure of the ciurcnt year, ■ we shall still at the end of the year have, during the year, invested the j( 8um of $705,075.73 in Dominion debentures, l)earing 5 ))er cent, in- I tei-est ; and, besides that, we shall hiiv(^ on special (hfposit !?5()0, 000.00, J Ijearing 4 j)er cent, interest in the Bank of Monti-eal ; and the sum of $87,698.05, bearing 4 per cent, interest on special deposit in the Iloyal Cana- dian Bank, which, added together,make the investments for thecin-rent year $1,293,274.38, instead of half a million ! — (hear, hear) — and still I shall on the 31st December, have a cash balance of upwards of $222,000. (Applause). If we add to this $1,293,274.38, the investments made in 1868 — Dominion debentures bearing per cent, interest, $500,000.00, — andDominion stock also bearing per cent, interest, $350,000.00— we shall at the end of the present year have invested $2,143,274.38 — (hear, hear) — and still we shall have a surplus, the casli balance I have mentioned. (Ap- plause.) I may remark that when I say there is this surplus, nothing is withheld, nothing concealed, nothing remains to be i)rovided for. It is a sur- plus overall payments, including interest on the excess of the debt of the late Pi-ovince of Canada over sixty-two and a half millions. I wish honour- able gentlemen to understand this matter. By the temis of the Con- federation Act, each of the Provinces was permitted to enter the Union, biinging with it a certain debt ; and I may repeat what is now, perhaps, a very siale statement, that the debt with which Ontario and Quebec were allowed to enter the Union was $62,500,000, that of New Bnins- wick $7,000,000, and that of Nova Scotia $8,000,000, imtil it was in- creased by the Nova Scotia relief Act of the last Session of the Dominion Parliament to $9,188,756. Now, it was provided that the excess of debt over $62,500,000 should be divided between Ontario and Quebec. Upon the proportion falling to each, each was to pay 5 per cent. As an ap- proximate division of the excess of debt, it has been assumed that 5-9ths would fall to Ontario, and 4-9ths to Quebec. This division has been as- sumed and acted upon by the Grovernment of Canada, and yet it is not absolute, nor can it be, till so awarded by the Arbitratoi-s. Now, all along, from the commencement of our career down to the present time, in our financial dealings with them, we have allowed them 5 per cent, on 6 the amount nssiuno,! to fall m n . • '^•'> of -J.i tit,/X ' '"'^'^''^ of near t f^"'^-''l>Io ,,rovi.sion for funds : ^vh ;;7 «r; nP«-^."'*''^''^'«^ ,^-'f^ millions «7>/>«^-^/.^ than rea i/f ' "^^^''t^^^'Jess, that in^!^^^' ,?"^l " '^^^'^ have, to I- 'livid^ ; ' "" "7--«;:l on the c^u Ur r ^"^^*^""' '-«ause, been i„c-m.sod ? ^'" *''" ''™- K»n«c.nun <,x,,I,u„ J.ow tl, BuildiuL' Fumi ti. ^/^'^ ^or instance.

But asset to at form- ing the ince by e as an mount. le Way. ication vances id fov Ivance Jst on ts in- >erior first statement of debt, tlie former was deducted from the latter, i'lien by tlio debt of tl»! Province was diminished by $263,00(5.29. But this sum being transferred to tlio assets, the debt is increased by tliat amount, and a corresponding increase takes phico in the assents. It is placed on the other side of the accoimt as an asset to be divided. In this way the debt has bi^on increased, those sums being treated, in the way T have mentioned, as assets to bo dividfid by the Arbitrators. These, with the addition of surveys ordered befoj'o (Jonfederation, biit executed afterwards, $14,725.r)|, and $12,928.37 l)alance of 10 per cent, on the Canada Loan and Emigration Company's i)urcliase, amount to $290,720.20. Again, the debt was increased beyond wliat 1 had expected, by the an-(!ars of the latt) Province. It was supposed that tlie outstanding debts (jwing to the late Pi-ovince of Canada, and the debts due from it, would havo \ about ecpialled one another, but it was foiuid that the payment of arrears amounted to nearly two millions, while the receipts amounted only to ,. about $400,000, so that, in that way, the debt was increased. It was I also inci-eased somewhat in the composition of a debt which we had all along contended sho\ild be deducted in full — I refer to the debt of the Bank of lTi>[)er Canada, amounting to $1,150,000. I had all along con- tended that this Avas a bank balance within the meaning of the B. N. A. Act, and should be deducted at its fsice. In this I was overruled, and after a good deal of negociation and discussion, it was finally decided, at the Conference in Montreal, that as a compromise, it should be deducted at half-a-milUon — rruclx more than it is supposed to bo worth. If this claim alone had l)een treated, as I then contended and still contend, it should have been as a "bank balance," notwithstanding the other changes I have spoken of, the debt woidd still have been within the limit I had set. 1 n this, howe vei', as I have stateil, I was ovorruled. I mention these matters to show that the $9,500,000, wliich was regarded as the excess of debt last year, might Aveli be $10,500,000 ; and, accoi'ding to the best information I at jjresent possess (and I think the Dominion Government and myself agree on all the ])articulars, exce[)ting one or two which ax"0 not of much moment), the debt of the late Province of Canada will be seventy-three millions— $10,500,000 over and above the $62,500,000 which Ontario and Quebec were allowed to bring into the Union. Therefore, with the exception of the exact excess of debt — having dis- posed of all our accounts up to the 30th September last, as will be seen by looking at the ajipendix to the estimates, we really stand in this position — that now everything is squared up with the Dominion, with the exception of, perhaps, some suspense accounts in the Crown Lands Department. Indeed, I may say that the excess of debt is scarcely an exception, so nearly do we approximate the exact amount. (Hear, hear). Then the only other thing that we need to know, in order to put a per- son into a position to consider our financial state — into a position to make a proper statement of the accounts of the Pi'ovince, is the exact division of the debt between the two Provinces, and this is a matter 8 t''"% tu^ aiuuml do,|„cTL f ^'" T^^^^ P^^ o 7' '''"I ^''.'^* '"Stated T»''vf<>,n, the «i„,,r nLl ^-^^G«C.GG, or at m' "' '"^^-n^Wit made cortam .xpenditi ro8 on "'''' ^«'"^'"" «o,uZ J ''«^"^'^"' within a (^o"nty Council nuvkn?

Mi;. BOYD — Is tluit a spjjcial arrangement 1 Hon. Mr. WOOD — Tliat is tlie arrangement, at all events, which was nuide with the Bank of Montreal in resju'ct of these deposits. The investmt^its then, with the deposits in the Banks oti Septeml)er 3()th, 18G9, nuide since the Ist Jidy, 1SG7, altogether foot n\t to the handsome sum of $2,14;?,LJ74.38, and at that date we liad e({'.uvalent cash on liand to the amount of $;J 15,504. 11. (Hear, Iiear). And at th(» end of the present year, as will he seen hy turning to the snuUl a))pendix, page 34, at the end of the prciscnit year, I say, after meeting all demands on the Exchequer, there will l)e cash on liand $222,028.70, calling in from the Dominion Government ordy $100,000 of the $204,380.59 due from it. We have, or shall have, on the 31st Decemlier next, exj)ended altogether since we commenced our existence $485,919.78 on capital account, and we shall have; exi)ended otherwise than on capital account $2,590,449.31. Our total expenditure \ip to tlh 31st Decemher next, from the 1st July, 1867, will he $3,082,309.09. 1 do not know how moie clearly I could have presented the matter than I have done — more explicitly than by stating that commencing our existence on the 1st July, 1807, and run- ning on for half a year without any inve.stment, we had, in fact, an over- plus of $033,457.19. Tlien taking a new stai-t, after pnying the Dominion Government its demand for interest on the excess of debt, satisfying that demand, then ninning on up to the end of another yeai* — that is to the end of 1808, and during that time having invested $850,000— $500,000 in Provincial debentures, and $350,000 in Dominion stock ; and having discharged all the obligations of th Government, and paid the interest as I have said on the excess of debt, ' "^e liave, neverthe- less, an overplus, sis it may be called, of $640,736.38 ; and during that time, as I stated before, we had made the investments that I have men- tioned. (Hear, hear). Then taking a start from that point, and again ninning up to the 30th September last, after paying the Dominion in- terest on the $10,500,000 Excess of debt, and investing during that period the sum of $1,293,274.38, we have left still, at the end of that period, an overplus of $315,567.61.

When I made the estimate, I supposed I should immediately get the books and have authoritative control ovpr the fund, but in this J was disappointed. Of the revenue to b^a derived from it I therefore cannot speak with certainty, becaus* it has m)t been under the control of tliis government; aud I regret to say it is not under our con- trol even now. We cannot got hold of the books until the awat-d of the arbitrators is made, and there is, therefore, no r\eans of knowing, the exact condition of the fund. Hon. Mr. McMUBlilCH— If tiiis fund is not under the coutvo^ of the government, how is it that you collect it ] Hon. Mr. WOOD — It is one of tha joint assets handed over by th® British North America Act to the Provinces of Upper and Lowe^ Canada. Theprincipal of the fund is$7, 300,000.00 in UpperCanada, while that ill Lower Canada is $2,458,140.00. The Ottawa Government says it has nothing to do with it, or any of the assets handed over to theProvin ces by the Act. Therefore, Quebec collects the Lower Canada Fund, and we collect the Upper Canada Fund, that is, the debtors pay or for- bear, almost as they like. There is not the slightest doubt but tliat the Upper Canada Fund will be Ulotted to Ontario, and the Lower Canada Fund to Quebec ; but in the meantime they are technically joint assets of the Provinces, that li, that which is situate in Upper Canada will go to Ontario, and that which is situate in Lower Canada will go to Que- bec. I was promised, I think I stated it to the House on one occasion last session, I should have these books, and be put in such a position as to exercise authority in collecting the monies, aud dealing with the debtors under this fund. But, for reasons I never could understand, the Quebec Government refused its assent. There was some apprehension on the part of the Government of Quebec that in assenting that each Province should take the books, and take charge of its respective fund, some advantage might accrue to Ontario, and disadvantage to Quebec, as will be seen by the correspondence which has been brought down to the House, and the books, although promised me, were therefore not handed over. These books are very voluminous, and contain a com- plete record of the dealings of eacii debtor to the fund with the Govern- ment. This is the present position of the fund, and it is my excuse fqf the over estimate mentioned. Another item is tavern licenses. The ex- cess over the estimate in this item arises from the subsequent passing of the Tavern License Act. The Crown, School and Clergy lands were estimated on the basis of the preceeding year. From the great increase in timber dues the estimate for Crown Lands revenue was far short of what has been received, while the estimate fiom Clergy Lands was in excess of the receipts. It may be assumed hereafter that the receipts for lands will, under ordinary circumstances, grow less and less every year, while there is every reason to believe that, under proper and judi- I i » i I Interest on invMtment.

(Hear ! hear!) Hon. Mr. McMURRICH — I find an item of "interest on investments" more than estimated. It immediately follows the Crown Lands. Hon. Mil. WOOD — That is accounted for ])y the fact that the invest- ment was made after the estimates had been prepared. These estimates were made at the beginning of the year. The investment in 5 per cent. Canada bonds was made subsequent to the estimate. In this way, the increase in the interest arises. Hon. Mr. McMURRICH — You invested more than you expected 1 Hon. Mu. WOOD— I expected to have a surplus of $500,000, but I found, soon after the year commenced, that I could make an investment, and I invested $705,075.73 in 5 per cent. Canada bonds, upon which this interest arises. Therefore as respects interest, there is no discre- pancy between the estimate and the fact. Hon. Mr. McMURRICH— All right. Hon. Mr. WOOD — There is only one other item that I shall men- tion — cash in hand on the 31st December, 1868. I estimated it at $192,945.75, but it was in fact $344,039.37 ; and this is accounted for in this way.

The particulars have been published, and {the amounts so expended were $65,617.55. They then transferred this sum from that fund to the Upper Canada Building Fund, which reduces it from $1,578,808.96 to $1,472,391.41. On the former amount interest was computed at 5 per cent. On the latter it is com- ■ puted at 6 per cent. That makes the difference, and the sum that is put down here is the exact fund. Therefore, I say to tlie House, to the honourable members who may take an interest in these matters, that the left hand side of this statement contains items which form in the main permanent sources of revenue. I do not mean to say, of course, that the revenue — the permanent revenue of the Province — will amount to $3,000,000 per anuum, but it approximates closely to it. I have stated what I conceive to be the permanent revenues of the Province, and I ask honourable gentlemen to follow that statement along with me, and check all the items as I mention them. The first item is that of the specific payment and subsidy for the year, standing at $1,196,872.80. That I conceive to be a permanent source of revenue, less, of course, what we may have to allow the Dominion as interest on the excess of debt, which, as I have said, is assumed to be $10,500,000, and the portion falling to Ontario $5,833,333. Taking from that permanent fund the year's interest at five per cent, on our excess of debt, which amounts to $291,666.66, will leave a permanent annual revenue of $905,206.14. Then I take the several items of the Re- formatories, Asylums, Education, Consolidated Municipal Loan Fund, Tavern Licenses, Marriage Licences, Law Stamps, and other minor sources of revenue, and put them down at $400,000. These minor re- venues are always increasing. The Consolidated Municipal Loan Fund is a permanent source of revenue, and might of itself, in my judgment, be brought to yield $200,000 per annum. Tavern licenses are on the increase, and, I suppose, will not diminish. Law stamps are estimated at $74,691, and I do not think they will decrease. These minor items will produce, say $400,000. The Crown Timber revenue I look upon as permanent. The Crown lands are passmg away, but the Crown timber, if the policy of the present Government is carried out — and, of course, it is the correct policy — (hear, hear) — of preserving the timber as much as may be on lands which are not suited to agricul- tural purposes, will prove a source of revenue not only to the present but to future generations. Timber is now a cash article the world over. In this part of the world its value is constantly upon the increase, and I put it down that during the next quarter of a century, Crown timber will yield a net revenue of $300,000 per annum. f 1,1 I If ; i : I; II u i n 16 Hon.

With regard to the Special Funds in the hands of the dominion, consisting of the U.C (xrammar School Fund, $312,709.04 ; C. Biiildin/- Fund, $1,472,391.41 ; five ninths of the Common School und, $914,240.93 (the whole Fund being $1,045,044.42), interest is layable at five per cent., with the exception of the U.C. Building Fund, m which, as I before stated, we are entitled to six per cent. I think ese may be looked upon as a permanent source of revenue ; for if the ^^ominion do not choose to pay us the interest, they must ])ay the tect 'f ^^^^ ^^^^ fcrincipal, and we, I think, shall be able to invest the money, at li ast, at wmber. ^vcnercent.

I therefore say that, without imposing any new taxation, we already have within our- selves a revenue — a permanent income — sufficient to meet all our wants land ordinary expenses as a Government, and also sufticient to enable us '*to devote a large sum annually in aid of the construction of pul)lic works and buildhigs—a fact which must he most gratifying to (;very inhabitant lof Ontario, as it must relieve every out; from all anxiety as to the ability I of Ontario to sustain and maintain its own Government and institutions * from the resources left it by the British North America Act, notwith- 1 standing the great injustice done to this Province in the Confederation scheme. (Cheers). Mr. Speaker — I think my estimate of the revenue for 1870 will be found to be correct. It amounts in the totjil to $3,002,185.04, and the expenditure to $1,999,553.08. There are some small additions to this to cover the expenditure for the ser- vices of 1808 and 1809, and to that is to be added one year's interest at five per cent, of Ontario's proportion of the excess of debt, over $62,500,000, which excess is estimated, as I have so often said, at $10,500,000, five-ninths of which, for Ontario's proportion, is $5,833,- 333.33, the interest being $291,006.00, leaving a square balance on the year's operations of $002,842.00 ; so that, deducting the appropriations which have been laid before the House for the year 1870 at their full face amount — although they appear to be large — there will still be a surplus of upwards of half a million on the year's transactions — (hear, hear) — and I expect to be able, before the end of the year 1870, in addition to the $2,143,274.38 already invested, to add another half mil- lion, making upwards of $2,000,000, and I hope that I may be able to state, when the House again meets, that it not only comes up to that amount, but that the sum has reached to three millions of dollars. (Cheers). Now, I wish to call the attention of the House to the item of " Expenses of Legislation." Honorable gentlamen will see that the estimate is somewhat in excess of the same item last year. It was found by experience that in consequence of printing and other unexpected ex- penses in connection with the House, that the expenditure came up so that 2 II ;. * «oo«n,ft tr'soo's 'ifs,°f -;•'"" 'T"!"' »™™ «t;t„"«i„^r"' ■?; tions wtJi losnecV t +1 ■^''^^'"1»« I Jiad better rtf " ^"i''<^«I we come to vX iJ " "'^" ^^'"^'^^ whic t ,' ' ' ''^^ ^^^^rva- passing, that bv f ^^1.: ''^'" ^^^T^<">Htions.

In railways alone she received from CJcvernment, or Government had expend(!d in Ontario $13,000,000. She has laid out from her own and other resources $80,- 000,000. While in Qucl)ec, the Government had only expended on railways $7,000,000, and i>om h'lr own and other resources, only $36,000,000— the vast diff'-inceof 93 against 43. In roads and bridges, Ontario had received from the Government and there had been expended within her borders, $3,500,000. About the same amount of money had l)een expended in Quebec on like objects. In canals and other imjjrovements there was expended in Ontario, (I give the exact figures) $11,780,042, and from sources other than Government aid $419,000 ; but in Quebec only $0,880,000 from Government grants and from sources other than Government aid only $40,000. Now, the total expenditure on the works I have mentioned, during the period from 1839 to 1807, was $120,150,201, while in Quebec there was ex- >ital account, is 'ng been already expended.

Now, Mr. Speaker, I do not make these comparisons and quote these figures for the purpose of showing that there was anything wrong in the agitation that was raised, or to make anyone dissatisfied with our present condition, but I refer to them, and shall make further references for the purpose of showing that scarcely ' any new country in the world has made such rapid progress. CHear, hear). We are apt to forget as we pass along, floating with the tide, the gradual growth of everything around us ; we are apt to for- get the progress Ave have made, until we pause and " tah an ob- servation." Now, ever since I can recollect, and during all the time such vehement and bitter complaints were made that so great finan- cial injustice was being done to Ontario, that taxes were being im- posed upon her to pay debts with which she had nothing to do — moneys collected from her people and expended beyond her bor- ders—during all that time it appears that raOways and canals, reaching ■ J I T m ■ it II so >»or«, were beta/r l '",« ™'''''''»hrf--roaT™T°' 'u"!''''"'' «' 'hoi,' "m.., these wcrTS,*"" «'»R '""It an. el " , '"P i"'™""? ™- »f, i«.i.io m-r^js ht,,",,"''''™"' «"' I ™r:r„r';f »" "•« the rosLwlWlo L^fT'' ^"^^ n^'-^kn'^' E vv M "^ ^''"^^ t^»« fores f"I nation I ll\'"S ''' '''''' grow „ •;""'''' *" ^^'^^^om S d««i,otism more inh ir''^^'''^"*J>ve suffi'ml n 7 '""l."^ and spent these evils, all tliese Iv ^^'"^^'J^'mtion was thn r ' ^'*'''^^' ^nd £ U .' ] , ] Hal pill »hc ha( «umnmtion moT"f •"^"l' ""i^^'^f to4:ther"\'''''T^.^^ "' ^J>«""'1 tJ'o Union off . i]'""-^'-^ *'> ^0 wfshe ji ^'^ /^^^»«ve the -con- «^ their joinf Zu'^'f .^^^^^^ ^me i, S nie^"'^''^'^''^^-» "r jin '^cconiplished fie \i "^ "^ «oo""' dots (w ?

Now, * T wish to call your attention to another fact. We have ex]»eu(led some Ihioe inillious in carrying on the Government of Ontario. This is a large exp(Miditur(', and it is said this is a very ( jonomical Government. So it ,Ms, liut wn hav(! been obliged to expend this large sum. If we sit hero ■f day at'Utr day, we must pay the expen.ses. Of cour.se, it will cost — must ;| cost — a great (Untl to administei- the public affairs of this gi-eat Provinc(>. But T want to call your attention to another fact. It is said that, in the past tir.i((S, we sustained great injustice with i-eference to the reveniies of the country. Now what is the public debt of the late Province of Canada? You say, '!i?73,OUO,()0(). I ask any gentleman to look at tho assets and see what caused that debt. I will tell you what caused $7,30O,()<)()— the Municipal Loan Fund of Upper Canada. I will tell yon Avhat caused $2,428,140 moi'e — the Municijml Loan Fund of Lower Cana- da. You have there nearly .^10,000,000 of the debt. Well, then, I will tell you what caused $0,000,000 more — the Seignorial Legislation, about whicli yoti have heard so much. The capital of the compensation to the Seigniors is three nullions, and three millions more were added to the debt by way of off-set to Upper Camula. So that, in fact, you have six- teen millions of the debt of the late Province of Canada created for local purposes. Of the $73,000,000, I say, you have at once this amount. You may add in other small items, and you have a total of $17,000,000, which, in fact, comprises the entii-e assets to be divided between the two Provinces. So that, of the debt of the late Province of Canada, you can count up $17,000,000 which was expended on local objects, and of that sum, $7,000,000 was expended in lower Canada, and $10,000,000 in Upper Canada. And in that way we get a division of the debt by local asset. By looking at the place where the debt was created, we find that $10,000,000 was created in Upper Canada, and $7,000,000 in Lower Canada, and as 17 is to 10 J, so is 10 to the portion of debt to be boriie fT^ 22 PI t •V ^'nwino, or 7 to Hi * * Hon.

I must say that if tho Provbico of Upper Caniula could not get justice in the late Parlia- ment of Canada i i respect of its liiifinces, on account of its not having a representation which would ov(jrbalance the representation of Lower Canada, I was always of opinion that it would hv, unable to got it under confederation, and that it was bt*tt(*r to be on >\n e(|uality than in a min- ority. Whereas luider the old an-angemont we had 05 to 05 ; wo have now onl) 82 to 99, Reaving us in a minority of 17. I always saw that money was all-powerful, particularly with tho pei-sons who rejjrosont tho eastern section. (Hear, Lear, and laughter.) I was always of opinion that they vrould, as opportunity offered, combine together in order to sectu-e the aid that could be gathei-ed from tho provincial exchofpier, and I am Horiy the painful experiencethusfargainedfully proves that my appre- hensions in this respect were but too well founded. (Hear, hear.) But, I liojie as time progresses our j)opulation will so increase, and the virtue, purity and patriotism of our politicians be so improved that, while others band themselves together to eei-ve their own local interests, oiu- ])ublic men will unite to secure justice, not only to Ontario, V)ut to thowliole Dominion. If confederation fails at all, it will be on account of taxation. I always saw that, and I see it now as clearly as ever. It may be that the })ublic spirit of our people, and the public interests at stake, will overcome those pecuniary difficulties that may bo seen looming in the distance, and that we will yet build np a great nation — a great British nationality on this continent. (Hear, hear, and cheera.) It may be possible that if it were not for this union with the Lower Provinces, we might have gone into annexation with the neighboring nation.

Now, Mr. Speaker, I hope that, notwith- 'aiized tie f ^^°^~"*P''^*^^8 Confederation, we shall have such a Government in this country of Our foi-t ' ^"'li shall not adopt a policy of extravagance. "We cannot afford to be ex- ^erbaiancB 'if ^^^ teivagant. Ou" expenses will increase every year, do what we may to ^^ blood xir'li .^^ grevent them. Although, as a Government, we have taken credit .,.v,- . »e ill. Sip jjeing extremely economical, and for having brought the cost of Civil overnment, and the maintenance of the various Government Institutions the very lowest point, yet the sum required in the aggregate for these rvices is not inconsiderable. As our population increases, so will our ants, and it is therefore only by the most careful economy that we can icpe to continue to prosper. We cannot economize by wasting time in ng speeches, by oratorical display and oratorical declamations. It is not y such means the country is going to be saved. Oratory may lose a in Use at f J -'"^ country, but never save it. It is only by strict and careful financial ^ajn'taJ i ^^ . ^ 'inanagcment that we can hope to succeed. I think I can refer to this *^i Y"orIv- ^^ ^^ *^Government and say that we have managed our finances on the strictest ^principles of economy. I think I may refer to this Government as one ;naving the best interests of the country at heart. I think I may refer ■with pride to our Free Grant policy, Immigration policy, to the ex- cellent management in the Crov/n Lands Department, and in the Depart- ment of Public Works, to the careful administration of criminal justice in the saving of expense connected with it. I think there is^scarcely any act you can put your finger on in the statute book, but points in the direction of Right, in the direction of Reform, and is in the highest de- gree subservient to the best interests of the people. It is the aini of this Government, when it retires from office, to leave such a record behind it that those who have supported it may point with pride to the fact that they were supporters of tlie first Government of Ontario.
