In 1873 ono Hcoiiko wjw Isuuod for every 200 of popula tion, whllu in 1803 it required 0-15 of a pop ulation to recolvo a llconBo, In 1888 there woro 1,707 porsonH convlotod of drunken- iiosH In tho provlnco, whllo In 180-1 there woro but 2,271, -though tho population had largely inoroosod- Utfnmr-w**o only 150 lloonftofl In Toronto, or 1 forovcry 1,208 of tlio population. In Montreal there woro 621 HfionsoH, or 1 for every 840 of popula tion. Ho then rovlowod tho question an to whothor broworo nhoilild bo required to pay for licenses. Tlio matter was hoforo tho courts yot, but would probably bo pot- .tlod during tho year. Two-thirds of tho . money that would coino from this Kourco would go to tho municipalities. Ho then dealt with tho law which had boon pasnod, calling upon tho holm of estates to pay BUccession duties to tho Government. Last year It had boon estimated that tho nmount of rovonuo that tho Government rould rocolyo from this source would bo 70,000, but the actual rocolpts were dur ing 180-4 $150,754. Ho predicted that In Ffuturo this amount would largely lneroase. Ho promisod that all money rocelvod from , thOBO.duties would Uo" BOt aimrt and ci- . ponded pfiTJ" upon Inenno. asylums, Iioukch for deaf mutes and institutions for tho tillnd. Ho thought that within th*eo ycarrt at most tho monoy received from . these dutlos would bo suulolonfcln amount '" to dofniy all tlio oxponses of hospitals Mid all otlier charitlos. Wlion tho Govorn- !' inont had proposed to raise a rovenuo from thoeo HUCcofifilon duties a cry had beon raised that It would prevent citizens from making an effort to accumulate. Tlio ex perience of similar legislation In Kngland -and--throughout Kuropo had provod ex actly what hod been demonstrated In Ontario, namely, that whllo tho govern ment was HUccoHsful In raising a rovonuo from u source that, was felt but little, thou continued to grow rich. Tho Prov ince of Quebec received last year from ' these succession dutlos $110,000; Now York Stat from tho same source last yonr ro- colvod $1,085,504, or ono-tonthj tho total rovonunoftho State, Thp Inrgosb sum received from any estate during IBM cam a T from tho county of Perth. Tho sum of $13,500 wan rocolved from tho estate.of an unmarried man. Ono*slxth of all tlio rov- li<' enuos of the province since confederation . ., . . .. . h-Vtad Iwon spent for tho malntemmco of tho ! ^oon years the cost of living Mr, Murtnr'u OrltloUtu, Mr. Martor upon rising to reply wap greeted with cheers. Ho complained that a greater time had not beon allowed the members to consldor tlio public account* before being called upon to answer the statement of the provlnoliU, treasurer. He thought that an unfair udvniitngo had been taken by the treasurer when lie only gave (10 hours tlmo to look into tlio no- counts, while ho had months to rovlow thorn. He thought tho berth of tho treas urer of Ontario' ono of the softest in Canada. All he had to do was to recolvo a olioquo of over ii million dollars evory year.from tho Dominion Government and another million from tho sale of lamlH. Tho balanco Wiis but a small amount and but little effort of tho brain or body was required to coUectit.^ It was not dilllcnlfc to collect monoy whon such a rich mlno aH tho crown hinds was nt hand to draw from. Tho oxpondlttirofl had doubled since 1871. Ho would bo told that tho pop ulation during tbo samo period had In creased 30 pur cent. He drew attention to tho fact that whllo tho population had only increased 30 per cent, tho expendi tures had Increased over 100 per cent. Tho cost of civil Government bad Increased during tho ruimo period over 500 pur oont. This was a very bad showlngand tho peo ple would hold tho Government to account for.-ita extiwyiingncn.1 According -to-tho- presonfc rate of expenditure, drawing as tho Government did upon crown lands and timber, it would bo but a short tlmo bo- foro all tlio timber resources of tho coun try would bo demolished and tliun tlio Government would have to resort to direct taxation to carry on tho atTalrs of tlio country. Ho mid that compared with tlio administration of tho John Knnd/Iold Mno- donald Government the Mowat Govern ment was most' extravagant. Tho treng- urer had gone to tho United States to make comparisons, Why had ho riot con fined himself to tho administration at Ottawa and tiio former governments of this province. Ho blamed tho government hecjui.se they allowed timber speculators to go upon tho lands of tho settlors and take their timber from thorn. The result was that settlers were not Ailing up our "northern country. Under tho Sandflold Ahvcdonald government settlors woro al lowed to use all tho timber upon their hinds. Ho maintained that though tho amount por capita for maintenance of public institutions in Ontario was less than in tho United States, yet It was not as small as it should bo. Ho said that tho government compollod all purchasem of supplies to go to friends of the govern ment. In this way a largo amount of money was uselessly expended. It was not tho proper business method.1 Why did the government not do as tbn Dominion Government did, secure tenders for all supplies and grant the contracts to tho lowest bidders, regardless of politics? Tint public accounts prove that tho supplier furnished tho public institutions of thn province havo all beon paid for at a much higher rate than they could bo purchased for In an open market. Tlio government gavo contracts only to their political frlondri, paid high prices and In return demanded contributions to tho campaign funds. If this system was continued It would result In direct taxation. What was tho succession duty but a direct tax? This was tho thin edge of tlio wedgo. Ho said that tho public schools of On tario wero being ruined simply bocnuKo tlio government dovoted all their money to the high schools. Tho public schools were not as efficient as theywore 10 yearn ago, they, had been continually going down; notwithstanding that 05 por cent, of all tho pupils in Ontario wont only to thcseSschools. Tho tendency was to mag- nlfygtho high schools to tho cost of tlio, public schools. Tho government grant to publlo schools was only 50 conts per head, whllo lb .was $1.08 por head for high schools, notwithstanding that but 6 per cent, of the pupils of tho province attend ed thoso schools. Ho wanted to iyyj moro money oxpondod onjtho public schools; ho wanted to soo hotter teachers employed In them and moro Attention paid generally. Ho referred f,o Hon. Mr.Drydon'a speech at London, ddrlhg which ho liadromarltod that whilo lio did not -wish to call Mr. Martor a liar ho would eay that if Mr. Marter spbko tho truth ho (Air. Drydon) wao n liar. Ho (Mr. Martor) thought that tho statement was indecent and unparlia mentary and quite unworthy of a man occupying tho position of Minister of .Agriculture Tho House adjoumod nt 0 o'clock. Tlio I'atron Lfmdftr Sjieabi. Mr. Haycock resumod the dobato on tho budget wlion tho Houso mot in the even ing* There was no applause whon the lion, mombor arose. Ho said that ho con sidered tho effort of tho Provincial Troas- urors a grand onn, Tlio speech did the Treasurer and tho Govornmont credit. He thought, howover, that tho Treasurer should not havo used in comparison the oxpenpos of the State of. New York as ngninst thoso of Ontario, slnco tho popula- thm of Now York State was 0,000,000, whllo In Ontario wo had but 2,000,000 of a (population. Tbo Treasurer had said that jouroxponsos'were but half those of Now York State. According to population tho expenses of Ontario should bo but one* ;tbird thoso expenses. He blamed the Government for nob having rcducerLtho 'salaries'of officials, slnco within the past in Ontario fC public Institutions. Tho per capita cost |[(/Jn Ontario for lWH-of inmates in publlo SstltutlouH, Including salaries of ofllcora tnd maintenance of the institution*), was $187.29, while In Now York State tho per |';; capita cat for- similar Institutions was Er$|&l77.' The salaries of all olHoialH In the *'?Aiitteri<jan 'institutions wore* vory much 1+Tfikr than'thow paid to CaHadlanff hold- had boon constantly decreasing. Wages wero loss and price" wero loss,' \yiy then should Oox'ernnipnt officials continue to have their salaries Increased? Ho had been upxloua to hear Mr. Martor's apoech, but when it wasdellverod tin found that it was simply a rehash of gpeechoB he had been delivering during the post three years. Ho agreed with tho jwlarof th ODPoaltioa U|at U bupdIIm Mr. MathoKou, tho now 'member foi South Lanark, then claimed the atten tion of tho Speaker and bogan his criti cism of tho finances of tho Provinco. Tin thought that tho Reform party In On tario had done tiling" that as individuals they would have scorned to do. Thny . had scattered the money of the people In millions among their own political friimds and had wasted tho timber resources of tlio country, lie pointed out that in the public accounts there were lump sums amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars said to be for meat and fuel sup plied public institutions. I In said that the accounts of tlio Dominion Govern ment were In detail, so that any elector could turn up and trace whore evory dol lar spent had gone to. IIo hold that the 'accounts as presented by the Government failed to show whether or not the expendi ture In the Crown Lands Department was on the Increase or decrease. The public accounts as presented this year, bo hold, were Minply In a hopohisa muddle, de signed for the purpose of hoodwinking the electors. lie then proceeded to ro- view the history of tlio Government since 1880. lie claimed that since that year the oxpondituro Inrgely exceeded tho receipts. These deficits had been made up by sell ing Crown lands. During the past nix years the deficits lias amounted to $2,070,- 000 and this largj amount had booU- covored up by selling the timber lands ol the province, and yet tho Govornmont claimed to have a smplusof ovur $^,000,- 000. Ho said that tho Provincial Troas- , uror hud claimed ibat the co.st per capita of maintenance in the usylums of On-1 tnrio was but $137. This ho denied, and' quoted from the rupnrts'of the inspectors to show that the actual cost was $114, _Jff_coi idem tied the Government for ex pending $240 pur head on boys under sou* tenco in the Penetnnguisheno reforma tory. Ho said that honest hoys, the sons -ofchjinbworkiug citizens, woro supported at a much less cost; there was not an honest boy in the province who could not be sent to Upper Canada College, expen sive as It Was, for less money. Why wan it that so much money was expanded upon these Institutions f Simply that tho poli tical friends of the part.v plight become rich by supplyiug provisions without ten der or coutruet. He claimed that tho.sur plus was a myth. Ho' took tho public ac counts for his authority, and claimed that thoy showed that the Government had ex- ponded since 1872 S7.ViuV,), whllo all their receipts had only amounted to $72,- 822,500, leaving a deficit of over $3,200,000, and yet they claimed a surplus of over five millions. Ho defied, the Treasurer to "show ..where Ids 'SuVplm was. The increase in tho expenditure of tlio Domin ion Govornmont during tho past five years had only been one-third of one per cont., while it had been 20 per cent, by tbo On tario Government. He gavu tho Govern ment credit for pushing tho settlement of accounts between Quebec and Ontario. Ho held thq Government responsible for tho present troubles iu the Toronto Uni versity, claiming that appointments had been made upon a party basis. Ho advised the Government to relinquish co itrol of tho affairs of the university and allow tho governing power to bo vested In a board of graduates. Mr. Conm6 In Reply. Mr. Coiimeo followed and said that ho agreed with the Opposition when thoy condemned corruption. But whero was lb found? Was it found in the Mowat Government or was It found nt Ottawa? Thoro woro no Ourran bridge or Caron scandals in Ontario. , Tho members of tho Opposition ab election times rushed into Algoma and condemned tho Government because thoy did not expend suulcient money thoro, and then came beforo tho House and blamed tho Government for 'spending tho money up there that they had. Referring to public schools ho said that If they wero to bo moro ctficiont tho matter rested entirely with tho pooplo. It was for them to eay whether or not a fifth form should be added. He denied -absolutely that tho public schools of On tario woro not In as ofllclont a Htato as thoy were flftoon yearn ago. Thoy would compare favorably with tlio schools of any State upon this continent. Ho also denied that supplies wore not bought by contract. Ho claimed that nil largo amounts wero by contract, hut It would not bo wise to purchase entirely by tondorVor'tontract. The markets might fluctuate and in c/iso thoy wont down, then tho Government would lose money by contract. It had been urged that the Govornmont had spent too muchjnoJifly in tho northern districts of Ontario. Ills complaint agaiuut the Govornmont was that the Govornmont did not expend suf ficient money up thero, and -ho would'bo surprised if tho Patrons did not support his demand that moro monoy should bo spoilt on roads etc, in that district; that agriculturists might bo kept ab homo In Ontario. Mr. Howlind mov.Qd-tha adjournment of tlio debute, and Houso adjourned at ton o'clock. " - Notoi of tho Houso, Mr. Hardy introduced a bill cntitlod an Act respecting tho verdict of jurors In civil causes.
