No. 46. “A Touching Appeal.”
Reading edition
On the accession of Mr. Mackenzie’s Government a large deficit in the treasury was discovered. Mr. Cartwright, Finance Minister, in his Budget speech, attributed this to the extravagance and corruption of the preceding administration. A new tariff was issued, in which the duties on various articles were raised considerably.
