At tho time of the defeat of the Liberal-Conserva- tive admlnlstrntion In 1SS.3 tho n»t debt was therefore $443,45.'. At the cloRe of the last flRcal year the net debt of tho Province, exclnslvo of flontinio; indebtedness other than to bauks, which had not been paid, was $2,321,412.00. The average annual revenue since 1883 has been upwards of $70,000 more than the average un- uual n.'vcnue for the five years pre- ceding the change of tioveruuieut. NOVA SCOTIA. In 1882 the Holmes-Thompson Gov- ernment, a Conservative udniiulstra- tion. went out of power, and a L4b- eral (Jovernmcut suocccdod, which has continued to the present time. At the time of the chanRO. theh total public debt of Nova Scotia wai $312.- 700, and the Liberals have iucreased this Indebtedness until on the 30th day of December. 18!)3, It stood at .^3.;'.40,809.99, and this Indebtedness was in addition to the amount of $1,- 284,311 which on the 30tii .Tune. 1S84, was paid by the Dominion, Govern- ment to the Government of Nova Scotia for the purchase of the East- ern Extension Railway. This reckless extravagance la intensified by the fact that unAfT the Mb4>ral ndmlnl»> tratlon tho nrfngo annual revenuw wan 1000,000, Willi* tlu> averapr^ an- nuni ti'venuo under thn preceding Uovernmeat waa only 1545,000. QUEBEC. When tho ConservntlTo adnilnlstm- tlon went out of power nnd the I-lli- oral administration of Mercler cam<' III, tho not debt was $11,r!.S!),l07.n. During tho four or five years of Lib- eral rule, which oontlnued to Decem- ber the 7th. 1801, the net dt*it Increan- ed to $24,288,038.20— or has more than doubled. During the Liberal rule tho Government had an avernge nnniial revenue of nearly $1,000,000 more than the averngo annual revenue dur- ing the five previous years of Conser- vative administration. (2ucbee, under Liberal admluist ra- tion, was dlHgrnced by tho most flag- rant corruption la public finances that any country In civilized tlmo« has seen. Parasites and heelers tolled every contract, bought and sold positions, shared proceeds with Grlf Miniatern, and, In short, held high ctrnival. So gross and open became tho corrup- tion that tho Governor dismissed Mr. Mercler. and the people overwhelm- ingly defeated bint in his appeal thereafter. The I^ngellers and I'a- cfluds. Tartes nnd ".liinuiy" McShano figured at this Ume In a most unenvi- able way. They aro still hungry, and are to-day the Intimate counsellors and assistants of Mr. Laurler. ONTARIO.

There was a debt llicn due the Dominion Governmemt, but this was wiped out by the a-eadjust- ment of the Provincial dclits in 1873, so It need not be taken into account.
