proved c oriet, the covering tombstone would hove

THE 'lola iINISTBT AND THE NATIONAL
TERN—The Chancellor of the Exotic...per has tesponded
to the allegation of his Liberal opponents with respset
to the inerease of national expenditure in a
letter written to Mr. Maheton-Crusa, the Conser-
vative candi late for South-West Lancashire. Mr.
Gladstone affirmed that there was an increase of
4:3,000,00,) in the public charges cansequeut on the
accassiun of • Tory Government to power. Mr, Ward
Hunt asserts that the actual amount is really only
L 2,815.654, and that the accusers of the Government are
the gentlemen wise, while in office before 1866. pledged
the country to 1'916,000 of the present, xoess. Mr. Hunt
endeavours to show that the incrsased expenditure was
rendered necessary solely in consequence of the misereble
htite of ening produced by the neglect of their pre-
deceuors. First, se n-gards the conversion of small
arms, which aticesents for £200,000 of the amount,
this prooess, which. he says, wee decided upon by
the Liberal Gournment, will be nearly completed
by the end of this year. Secondly, the army, which was
left in a "deplorable" state of inefficiency by the late
Government, has, as it result of the better pay no long
considered necessary, the onus of which has been in.
caned by the Coast restive Government, received hack
into its ranks no lees than 26,008 veteran troops. This
increased pay is set down at two,ono. Thirdly, the
forts which the Liberals built, but left without
ordnance, have been armed a cost of 1'70,000, 267
pieces demon betng provided. and 142 of the number
already mountail. Fourthly the navy has been raised
(ruin that "state of degeneracy*" into which it had
fallen under the long Liberal adminietration. Lastly,
with revect to the Civil Service expenditure, Mr. Haut
assert• that with the expeetion of a large increase in
the vote for education and science, sod art, he is not
aware that the prurient Governmentean be charged with
hurthening the taxpayers of the country.
