Such sir, are the facts which have submitted
to the committee and through that committee TO

signed is The increase Of tho business Of the coun-

of the Increase of the popua ton Il he reason ~
undoubtedly good tar 1t goes. The ratio OF
increase il certainly too high. The Increase OF the
transactions Of the Government IS greater III
amount than in the number But, sir, for the sake
of the argument, admit the assumed ratio. And
whnt is the result? In 1928, the population OF the
