Is it any wonder that the rank and file of their par- liamentary supporters have joined in plundering the country of timber limits, coal mines, farms and ranches, to say nothing of Boodle Bills, " Blind shares " and ndlway subsidies 1 In this leaflet, reference will be made only to the members of Sir John Macdonald's administrations, who have been using the public trusts committed to their care by the people to advance their own pecuniary interests. 6IR JOHN MACDONALD:— The recipient of a testimonial from cor- porations and friends of $80,000, notably the Northern Railway and Sir David Macpherson. The former he endeavoured to relieve of an in- debtedness of half a million to the country, and the latter he installed a« a Cabinet Minister, and recommended him for Knighthood. The Canadian Pacific Railway Syndicate made the Premier's son, (Hugh J. MacdonaH, of Winnipeg,) one of its solicitors, at a salary of $5,000 per annum, for reasons that may be well understood. During the re-arrangement of the loans to the Canadian Pacific Company in the session of 1885, Sir John Macdonald declined to relieve the Company of the $10,000,000 special loan. Before the next session a member of his family was presented by the C. P. R. magnates with a diamond necklace, estimated to be worth from $25,000 to $50,000, (upon which duty has not beoD paid). Then at the session of 1886, the C. P. R. was relieved of tne re-payment in cash of the $10,000,000, as they had requested and been refused twelve months previously. Sir John Macdonald's pleasure jaunts to England from 1879 to July 1885, have cost $1 1,324.33. See Public Accounts and Audit(^-Qeneral's reports for those years. 8IR CHARLES TUPPER :— When he accepted office was a pOOr man, but h now reputed to be very wealthy. He has always been the leading Spirit . when a 0. P. R job was to be put through, and the bosom friend of tJu Onderdonk's, Manning's, Shield's, McLaren's and others, whost THE BOODLE BRIGADE— Continued. \ exorbitant Claizna hare reoeiydd favorable consideration. His mb, (J. Stewart Tupper, of Winnipeg,) was also appointed O. P. It solicito* at a yearly salary of $5,000. Sir CLarles went to England m Lord Higk * Oommiasioner in 1884, at a salary of $10,000 per annum, and returned to parlia> ment to force the new 0. P. R loan through the House. "> Sir Charles departed for England again, the Government purchaa- ing and furnishing a residence for him at a cOSt Of $42,000. An idea of the extravagant furnishing may be had from a statement of a few of the items : — "Furnishing servants' bedroom on the fourth flat, $240;" '?.. T THE BOODLE BRIQADE~-Contlnu«cl. 8IR ALEXANDER QALT— while Lord rSd^h Commlsgioiier in Rogland, at au annual tmlary of $10,00O, drew $7,030 for trarelllnf ex- penses, a large part of which was eiient on two trips to the North- WmV prospecting for coat areas which he Bubsequently received from the Ciovernmont at a nonilual figure^ HON. MACKENZIE BOWELL :— The one who gare his notorlona soii-in-law .lauiiesoii the 'Mnside track ^' in relation to OoloniMtion Coiripanj, and who aivanced $500 to the said Jamieson to pur- chase the ''blind Share,^ valued at $33,000 in the Prince Albert OoU :>uization Company. Mr. Bowell has his family Well provided for in the public servioe. 8IR LEONARD TILLEY, when In receipt of $7,000 yearly m Finance minister, spent $8»811 in pleasure trips to England, and now oeeupiea Government House in New Brunswick in the enjoyment Of $8^000 a year from the Dominion Treasury. HON. MR. McLELAN :— managed to fritter away in pleasure with flriends $7,000 while visiting the Fisheries Exhibition in London, three ytau ago, in addition to $1,490 travelling in this country, 81R ALEXANDER CAMPBELL :— Dad, between 1880 and 1885, the gum of $5,069 charged in the Public Accounts for his travelling expeusea. MR. DALTON MCCARTHY, M.P., outside Alemher of the Cabinet, who, as President of the Northern Pacific Junction Railway, at a Salary Of $3,000 per annum, secured a Government subsidy of $19,- 000 a mile for that railway, and also permission to Issue bonds fOf $90,000 a »mile additional -thus making a clear profit for himself and io his friends of at least $81>0,000, over and above the cost of construction. He is Counsel for the St. Catharines Milling Company, in the suit with the Province of Ontario, the Dominion having assumed all responsibility for costs, etc. He has already received about $6,000, and has (in writing) recommended the Government to carry the ease to the Privy Councii, at a probable cost of $!$O»OO0. (See correspondence in ffan$ard, last day of Session, 1886). He was also the promoter of the notorious McCarthy Liquor Act* which has cost the country over $300,000* In the preceding itat^moits no reference is made tn the enormous sums ^Ndd every year by the departments at Ottawa, for the Cab hire Of members I of the Government and their friends. That item alone amouuts tO many thousand dollars. Ihe Electors are asked to stamp with their condemnation the policy of an administration under which such abuses are aUowed to ozlst. Conduct of that character on the part of polltlelansy would mot be tolerated In England or the United States. I :/*v
