sidered and allowed for, all comparisons relating to the proportion
and cost of public services and public debt between countries so
differently conditioned would be worse tlian useless. In Australasia
the greater proportion of the cost of general government ( — 66"41
per cent., 1890) is for services of distribution or communication, such
as railways, roads, bridges, harbours, post and telegraphs, and the
extent to which these enter into the question depends upon
rather than population. In the United Kingdom—the greater part
of these services (exceeding the total cost of general government of
the United Kingdom by more than 64 per cent.) is left to private
enterprise or to local government. This is best appreciated by con
trasting the proportion of expenditure incurred under the general
functions of government in respect of special public works and services
in Australasia and the United Kingdom as in the accompanying com
parative tables, I., II., and III.
