Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. R. Harcourt, Treasurer of the Province of Ontario: Delivered on the 11th April, 1893, in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, on Moving the House Into Committee of SupplyA careful examination of the record will disclose the same zealous regard for strictest economy in every department of the public service, and the same liberal measure of assistance to every deserving public Object which have always been the chief characteristics of the financial administration of the government of Sir Oliver Mowat during his long tenure of omice.The past year's record, like those before it, will further disclose the highly satisfactory condition of the finances of the Province, and the closer the scrutiny the more apparent will be the evidences of a state of affairs eminently calculated to inspire, in the highest degree, hope and confidence.Viewed absolutely and without the slightest reference to other pro vinces or' countries, our financial condition is singularly strong and healthy. Viewed relatively, comparing our position with that of many other countries, which, in the matter of incurring enormous Obligations and heaping up serious burdens of debt, have treated prosperity as a pack-horse ever ready to be loaded, we may well regard it with great pride and thankfulness.I expect, Mr. Speaker, in the somewhat brief explanation I am about to give of our finances, to be able to fully justify my hopeful view of their condition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
