PARTY GOVERNMENT
Sir,-—I notice you put up a rather attractive defence for party government in a recent issue of your paper. But I think wo will find that it is quite a different thing to humour our whim for the excitement and thrill of party strife when times are prosperous than when they are, as at present, the reverse. If anyone can show that the greatest contributing cause towards the present world depression has not been extravagance, I should be glad if he would do so.
1 have always been given to understand that wherever there is the most talk going on the least work is done, so with our Parliament.
Our present position Laving boon brought about by extravagance, T should like to know how it is to be remedied without, reasonable oconomv. And 1 think that we will find that the method of applying that necessary economy which will give us least pa*n individually, will be to let it rest first upon our Government, which has set ns the oxamnle in extravagance. 1 think that Mr Troup and anyone else who are seeking to eliminate ns far as possible the partv element from our Government, are floMTVing of every encouragement.—l am. ete. G. F. MOORE. Bushy Pari:, Nov. 20.
