THE PUBLIC FINANCES
Sie, Wo have had another example set beiore us; by Mr James Allen, 1V1.P., of the way 111 which the new name Dominion is being kept uu by the Prime Minister and hi,i party. Thero is ihu £1250,000 wasted on the public servievs for the past 16 years- liow many Dreadnoughts would liat: have* purdiaswl? Wly, it would It-ave lined our whole coast, but «kjw we have to bjrrow the money if we only give one. Then wc have the JBBOOO tpeni on tile American Heel, besides tho absorption of t.ne .--aviug, IJauli and the I'uljJic Tnisr, .until;. Do yon wonder now our raiways are not being constructed? Not much-, but now that we have it shown up in black and white how our money litis been spent it is easily aeeounted for. The sooner a little more caution is used in sonic retl>eei<s the bot;*,- it will be if we want our lair Dominion to pto-pt'i'--I am, clc,, Klectok.
