in which the appropriation bill comes
before us, Tt comes up perhaps the last
day of the session when committees of
this fouse are engaged about various
other matters, aud it is expected that it
will be passed iu a fow hours, I have
keown items to be in that bill which 1
would vote against, and I would almost
risk the loss of the bill rather than
pass them without a stroug remon-
strance, As the Council is now
elective as well as the Tlouse of As-
sembly, we are responsible as well as
that Body for legislation, (Mr. Palmer
~~Hear) and we should have some con-
trol of the appropriation, The items
should come up in separate resolutions,
aud be reviewed bere, so that we might
kuow what is in the bill before it comes
before us, instead of having the whole
appropriations sent up in one bill at the
end of the Session when many of the
/Members have gone home,
Hon, Mr. Watken remarked that he
did not know how the Conntil could be
held responsible for what it had no eon-
trol over,
Hlon. Mr. Gorvon: Though I do not
approve of changing the seale of duties
year after year, yet L regret tha: the
Government did not think proper to
tnke the duty off flour and meal, for it
is likely to be a very hard summer on
many of the people. I remember that
last session his honor from Prinee County
(Mr. Lord) joined with me in trying to
get the duty taken off flour, though we
did not accomplish much, There is
nothing to which the people are so
wuch opposed as taxing their bread.
Give them cheap bread and cheap
education, and they will be prosperous
aud happy. Though I do not approve
of changing the tariff every year, as it
bas a teudency to destroy that stability
which is the foundation of success in
busivess, yet I would like to see the
duty taken off flour and meal, aud
some change made in the differeatial
duties on spirituous liquors; but 1
suppose it is little use for us to agi-
tate any alteration in those respects,
IIon, Mr. McDonatp; The objection
urged agaiast the duty on flour last
year was on the ground that it was
creating a differential duty, for while
it was admitted free when it came
direct from Canada, there was a duty
imposed when it came through the
United States. But your honors will
remember that we passed an act last
year to admit flour and meal free when
it came through American Territory.
It is true that there isa duty of 1s, 6d.
per barrel contiaued on flour aud meal
which is not the production of the colo-
nies, but I suppose your honors are
aware that from that source last year
the sum of ÂŁ1410 was raised, and you
are also aware that the expenditure this
year will be very large. And when
there is no change made in the tariff,
we thought we could scarcely afford to
do with the amount of revenue derived
from that source, If that duty had
been taken off it would have been ne-
cossary to make other changes which
perhaps would not be approved of by
yourhonors. It will depend very much
on the state of trade whether a change
in the tariff will be necessary next year
or not. If trade is not prosperous, and
if there is not a good revenue this year,
itis most likely that whoever holds the
reins of government next year will find
it necessary to make very material
changes.
Hon. Mr. Lorn: If there isto be a
change I hope it will be to reduce the
taxes, but it is hardly worth while to dis-
cuss this matter now, os we cannot make
any alteration. It the duty is raised on
any article L hope it will be ou spiri-
tuous liquors, for if there is an article
imported on which we can afford to pay
aheavy duty, it is ardent spirits. There
is no compulsiou in the use of it, and 1
believe we can do jast as well without
tasting it ag with it, but if we must
have something of that kind to drink we
should pay, for it. I would like to see
the duty taken off flour and other bread-
stuffs, for there will be a large quantity
required this summer, and of course the
cheaper they are the better, for the poor
man,
IIon. Mr. Gorvon: There are two
very urgent reasons why the duty should
be taken off breadstuffs. It is certain
that the approaching summer will be a
hard one, and we see by late accounts
from the corn growing States that there
is a falling off of 35,000,000 bushels
and consequently the price may be ex-
pected tobe high. The second reason
is that this system of taxing breadstufts
is contrary to the principles of com-
mercial policy which Her Majesty's
Government is using all its influence âto
induce the colonies to adopt.
Ilou. Mr. Batpensron : I do not think
there is much fault to be found with the
scale of duties, neither do I see any great
objection to tie duty of 1s, Gd. per barrel
on American flour, for there is not
much flour comes from the United States,
I would like to encourage home manu-
facture, and I would say, if we must have
liquor, let us give the preference to the
home manufactured article. I do not
think itis a proper time to enter into
a discussion on the privileges of the
Council, though IT value them as much
as any person. I consider that we have
gained a point hy making the Council
elective, Formerly the members of this
House were merely the nominees of the
happy to say thatthe greater ruling party, and that was not a desir-
those who were chosen by | able state of things. Therefore, I do not
ve seats here at present ;| think, like his honor from Bay Fortune,
of ly | (Mr. Dingwell), that all is lost, for we
âŹContinwed from flret page.)
trol would have heen given to it over the
revenue and expenditure, But till the
people think proper to extend to this,
house some little control over the revenue
and appropriation bills, and it can only
be done by an Act of the Legislature, it
would be very littl: use for us to raise
our voices against any particular items
in them.
Hoo. Mr. MacDoxatp: His honor
refers to the difference in the rate of duty
upow imported and home manufactured
whiskey ; but it should bo remembered
that distillers here have to pay a license
duty of ÂŁ25, and when that,is taken into
account, the difference is not so great as
would, at first sight, appear. As to the
other point, I quite agree with him that
we have very little control over the
revesue bill, but the great difieulty is,
how ia this House to get greater privil-
eges than it has at present? âThe ques
tion was tried time after time before it
became an elective Body, and the only
results were nopleasant diflerences be-
tween the Council and ITouse of Assem-
bly ; besides, the privileges of the former |
were rather curtailed than extended by
the agitation of the question. The House
of Assembly is very teuncions of its pri-
vileges, und if it does not choose to relax
them and grant more. privileges to this
Council, Tdo not see that we have any
remedy. I do not think that body would
consent to anything that would have a
tendency to narrow down the privileges
it has âaways claimed,
Hou, Mr. Watker: Why did not his
hovor, the member for Charlottetown,
contend for more privileges for this
louse at the time the elective Council
bill was being passed? That was the
time to have secured greater privileges,
but the opportunity was lost, and vow we
cannot: obtain them without having an
act passed lor the purpose, which I think
would not be very easily done,
Hoo, Mr. Patwen: No doubt it would
have been very well if it could have been
done at the time the Elective Council
Bill was carried, but we know very well
that privileges of that kind cannot be all
obtained at once. We were very glad
at that time to get the great principle of
an elective Council carried, and perhaps
it would have endangered the fate of
that bill if we had iutroduced into it pri-
vileges much beyond what, as a nomin-
ative brauch, we had previously enjoyed.
But having once obtained the elective
principle, it then became us to sce that
we had those privileges which, constitu-
tionally, ought to belong to an elective
branch, aud we had a far better oppor-
tunity of agitating for that change when
we had become an elective body. A great
boon was supposed to be obtained when
the Elective Council Bill was carried,
but I do not see that the people have de-
rived a single solitary advantage {rom it,
while the members have to earn their
âseats at as much expense as the mem-
bers of the House of Assembly, and I
believe far more. Ido not think, how-
ever, that there is mach use in us agita-
ting the question here now, but at the
first clection after the bill was passed,
I was anxious that it should be brought
to the hustingsâthat the people should
be informed, and the matter explained
to themâbut I met no encouragement.
I was solitary and alone on that point,
I believe the time will soon come when
the people will feel the necessity of ex-
tending greater privileges to this Liouso.
Otherwise they will see that they have
not gained anything by the principle of
an elective Council. There might be a
very proper law passed to have money
grants come up simply, or proper-
ly classified, so as to give us some con-
trol over them ; but what is our position
now? The Appropriation Bill may
come up with two or three items which
we consider obnoxious to the publicâ
forced, perhaps, by a combination of
arty iulerestsâand what is our remedy?
e may ask for a conference, and that
may be granted, as a matter of courtesy,
or we may reject the bill in toto. Then
it will be said that the whole responsi-
bility of the loss of the Dill rests at the
door of the Council, which threw it ont.
Therefore, we connot exercise any con-
trol over the Appropriation Bill, without
that onus being thrown upon ns ; but it
is in the power of the people to place no
man in either barnch of the Legislature
unless he pledges himself to support such
âa reasonable alteration as would allow
âthe Council to be, in deed and in spirit,
what it was supposed it would be when
the great concession of the elective prin-
ciple was made.
Hon. Mr. Dixtwer.: I was not an
advocate forthe alteration in the con-
âstitution of the Council, and it has
âturned out just as I expected, for this
Flonse is more expensive to the counry,
j and it is not of any more service; but
; âstill I agree with his honor who has just

us,
have gained some privileges.
Hon, Mr. Warxer: His honor from
Prince County, (Mr. Lord), speaks about
reducing the tariff, but I think it would
pipewer. be dificult to point out any article on
» Bern: I would fally en-| which the would be rédeeed. There
6f his honor from the| is oo part of North America where the
gr sagan taxes are #0 low, and I believe the Gov-
of way} ernment will flod it necessary before
long, to increase the advalorem duty to
124 per cent, Edueation alone twkes
one-third of the revenue,
Hou. Mr. Wayrnorne : 1 sympathise
with the remarks of his honor from
Georgetown, (Mr. Gordon), and I must
say that I think breadstuffs should be ad-
mitted free of duty. To tax food is a
mistake. But I hope to see the day
when the improved state of agriculture
will evable us to do without âmporting
breadstafls, The Island is capable of
producing everything of that kind that
we require, and more scientific farming
will evable us to do without importing
flour from Canada or the United States,
I believe the duty upon flour was imposed
about the time the Reeiprocity âTreaty
was abrogated, and when considerable
acrimony existed against the Americans
for putting an end to that treaty, I am
certainly in favor of freedom in trade in
breadstuffs, but the Goverument thought
it was not advisable to make any change
this year. It is vot so easy to raise a
revenue here as in tho old country.
There taxes are imposed on articles of
general cousumption, The malt tax of
Englund produces a revenue of, I be-
lieve, ÂŁ5,00).000; and the income tax
enabled Sir Robert Peel to abandon the
impost duties on some articles of con-
sumption. But here, if any article pro-
duees ÂŁ1200 or ÂŁ1500 a year, however
desirable it may be to remove the duty,
it will be found difficult to impose it on
avything else. Then with reference to
the remarks of his houor from the City
respecting the privileges of this House, I
do not think he is the most suitable per-
son to make such observations, He is
an old legislator, and was a member of
the Government which introduced the
elective Council bill; ana if it was possible
tohave secured greater privileges, that
was the time to have sought for them.
ITowever, there is no doubt but the elee-
tive principle is some advantage, for
there are gentlemen in this House who
would not have had seats here if the
Council had rot been elective. Tad
that principle not been carried, the Tenant
League organization would not have had
a representative here,
Tfon. the Presipent: This year the
Government is granting a sum of money
to purchase seed grain for destitute farm-
ers, and to impose a tax upon flour and
meal at the same time looks like giving
with one hand and taking from them
with the other, I have always been
opposed to taxing breadstufls, for the
cheaper they can be got the better, I
would be pleased to see that tax dis-
pensed with on account of the state of
the country,
IIon, Mr. Beer: I would also like to
see the revenue Bill passed without any
duty upon breadstufls, but I am satisfied
that all the revenue that can bo raised
will be required for the serviee of the
Colony, especially as about ÂŁ3000 are
being grauted for the purchase of said
grain. I do hope that the time is near
when we will raise all the breadstuf! we
require, for, by a little more skill and
improvement in our system of farming,
we could do so. I believe there will be
double the quantity of wheat sown this
year more than Jast, and I hope that vext
year we will not require to import so
much flour.
IIon. Mr. Dinaweiti: We are all
anxious to see cheaper bread, but with
allthe duties imposee, our revenue is vot
likely to be larger than will be required,
I would like to hear some of your honors
who are so anxious to have the duty
taken off flour, suggest some other article
on Which it could be imposed. I do
not think the Government can be blamed
for continuing the same tariff; if there
was an inerease, there might be some
reason to complain,
fon, Mr. Axperwon: If the duty
were taken off flour and put upon ardent
spirits, I think it would be a less ob-
jectionable way of raising the revenue.
Tlon, Mr. McDonatp: Your honors
are aware that flour from the Dominion
of Canada comes in under the recipro-
city treaty with that province, and while
the reciprocity with the United States
existed, it came in free from there also $
but when they have abrogated that
treaty themselves, we have a right to
impose a duty on their flour, There
were 11450 barrels imported from
Canada last year, and 1 believe a larger
quantity will be imported from there this
year if it is required; for it is found
that Canadian flour is better and costs
Jess than what is purchased in the United
States. Therefore this duty of 1s, 6d,
per barrel will not effect all flour im.
ae Canadian fiour will come in
ree,
Hon. Mr. Barpenstox: I agree with
his honor from Bedeque (Mr. Anderson)
that it would be better to take the tax off
flour and pat it on liquor, A gentleman in
the Legislature once said that if a poor
man had a certain amount of money to
spend for liquor, the lesa he got for it the
better, and I think the remark was very just.
The Honse was then resumed and pro-
gress reported,
CUSTOMS, ACCOUNTS.
Ilon. Mr. McDonatp, a member of
the Government, presented to the House the
Castoms Accounts for the past year, and
on doing 80, remarked that they indicated a
favourable state of the trade of the Colony.
The value of the ordinary exports was
ÂŁ260,470. sterling; and there were also
18,641 tons of fee 5 sent home for ealo,
valued at ÂŁ111,846. Making the total
value of exports for 1867,ÂŁ872,316 sterling.
While the importe for the same time were
set down at ÂŁ294,443; showing a sterlin
balance in favor of the Colony of ÂŁ77,883.
These figures showed that the trade of the
Colony was in a very prosperous condition,
more so than could have been expected.

ALEWIVES, FISHERY BILL.
Tion. Mr. McDowaun snid ho intended io
move for the second reading of a bill to
iit
Se iit i
revive and continus certain sections of the
| Act for the preservation of the Alewives
Fisheries, and to repeal a eertain Act there-
in mentioned ; betthe 80th standing role
| of the House had not been complied with,
âas it wae a late peried of the session, and
| as the bill was of considerable importance.
he would move that the rule be suspended.
The thirty-sixth standing rule of the
louse is as tollows :â
* No bill, resolution, or other proceeding,
founded upon any application addressed to
the House of Assembly, shall be sustained
by the Council unless an application to the
same effect, with such documents as may
accompany the same, be alse presented to
the Council in General Assembly.â
Hon. Mr, Parmer said he did not know
what the proposed alterations in the Act
were, buthe did not think the Alewives
Fisheries was a subject of any great im-
ortance to the Colony; and if the Council
intended to maintain its position as a legis-
lative body it should adhere to its rales.
Therefore he would not feel himself justi-
fied in supporting the motion before the
House.
Mon. Mr. Dinawens. said the question to
be considered was whether the bill was of
more importance than the rules of the
House. Ile thought the House should
carefully guard its rights and not permit
any encroachment upon them, though if the
bill was of very great importance he would
be inclined to give way.
Ifon, Mr. McDowaup said he did not
look upon it as an infringement of their
wivileges. The standing rules of the
lees had not been published this year, and
he supposed that the parties who addressed
a petition to the House of Assembly asking
for the bill were not aware that a petition
had also to be sent to the Council. âThe
protection of the fisheries was one of the
most important subjects that could come
before the Legislature, and he thoaght the
House would act wisely in suspeading
the rule.
Ion. Mr. Banornsron said the very
fact that a petition had not been sent to
this Branch of the Legislature, shewed
that the subject was not one of great. im-
portance, and as hethought the privileges
of the House were curtailed quite enough
already, he would oppose the motion,
Ilon. Mr. Murmurap said the question
before the House was uot the importance
of the Alewives Fisheries, but it was the
necesssity of adhering to their rules, Ie
was not in favour of contracting their privi-
leges and would therefore oppose the
motion.
lIon. Mr. Bren regretted that no petition
had been presented to the Couneil. He
felt himeclf rather awkwardly situated, for
he would like to maintain the dignity of the
House, However, as the bill waa of some
importance to a portion of his constituency,
he would support the motion to suspend
the rale,
Ilon. Mr. Hayrnonne said he thought
there was more to be gained by the bill
than lost by suspending the rule, and
therefore he would support the proposition
of his honor from Georgetown,
IIen. Mr. Lorp said the gaspereaux
fishery was not of mach importance, Per-
haps as many might be caught as would
keep halt a dozen families for a week.
Still, as the bill was passed by the House
of Assembly, it would hardly be fair not to
entertain it on acconnt ef no petition being
presented to the Couneil,
Ilon, Mr. PAtMer was surprised that
some of their honors should be so ready to
allow an encroachment upon the privi-
leges of the House, Their standing rules
were not merely for the use of the members
of the House, but for the benefit of those
whom they represented. The House, in
order to proceed with its business properly
and with advantage to the people, should
have all the information that could be
brought to bear upon the subjects which
came before it. The proposition made by
lis honor from Georgetown would have a
tendency to enconrage non-compliance with
âheir rules, and therefore he opposed it,
Hlon, Mr, Gorvow said that as they had
standing rules, they should abide by them,
If they should pass the bill because the
House of Assembly had passed it, as his
honor from Prinee County (Mr. Lord) had
said, they were not a legislative Body, but
achamber of record. âThey should stand
fast by their rules except in a case of great
emergeney,
Hon. Mr. Waker did not think it would
be any disparagement of the dignity of the
House to suspend the rule and therefore he
Would support the motion,
The House divided upon the motion that
the rule be suepended :
ContentsâIlon, Messre. MeJonald,
Walker, Lord, Beer and Haythorneâ,
Non-ContentsâHIlon, Mesere Palmer,
Dingwell, Balderston, Muirhead and
Gordonâ5,
Thus the names were equal and the Pre-
sident gave the casting vote against the
motion. On doing so he remarked that
Whichever way he would be disposed to
vote under other circumstances considerin
his position, he must maintain the dignity of
the House.

in which the appropriation bill comes
before us, Tt comes up perhaps the last
day of the session when committees of
this fouse are engaged about various
other matters, aud it is expected that it
will be passed iu a fow hours, I have
keown items to be in that bill which 1
would vote against, and I would almost
risk the loss of the bill rather than
pass them without a stroug remon-
strance, As the Council is now
elective as well as the Tlouse of As-
sembly, we are responsible as well as
that Body for legislation, (Mr. Palmer
~~Hear) and we should have some con-
trol of the appropriation, The items
should come up in separate resolutions,
aud be reviewed bere, so that we might
kuow what is in the bill before it comes
before us, instead of having the whole
appropriations sent up in one bill at the
end of the Session when many of the
/Members have gone home,
Hon, Mr. Watken remarked that he
did not know how the Conntil could be
held responsible for what it had no eon-
trol over,
Hlon. Mr. Gorvon: Though I do not
approve of changing the seale of duties
year after year, yet L regret tha: the
Government did not think proper to
tnke the duty off flour and meal, for it
is likely to be a very hard summer on
many of the people. I remember that
last session his honor from Prinee County
(Mr. Lord) joined with me in trying to
get the duty taken off flour, though we
did not accomplish much, There is
nothing to which the people are so
wuch opposed as taxing their bread.
Give them cheap bread and cheap
education, and they will be prosperous
aud happy. Though I do not approve
of changing the tariff every year, as it
bas a teudency to destroy that stability
which is the foundation of success in
busivess, yet I would like to see the
duty taken off flour and meal, aud
some change made in the differeatial
duties on spirituous liquors; but 1
suppose it is little use for us to agi-
tate any alteration in those respects,
IIon, Mr. McDonatp; The objection
urged agaiast the duty on flour last
year was on the ground that it was
creating a differential duty, for while
it was admitted free when it came
direct from Canada, there was a duty
imposed when it came through the
United States. But your honors will
remember that we passed an act last
year to admit flour and meal free when
it came through American Territory.
It is true that there isa duty of 1s, 6d.
per barrel contiaued on flour aud meal
which is not the production of the colo-
nies, but I suppose your honors are
aware that from that source last year
the sum of ÂŁ1410 was raised, and you
are also aware that the expenditure this
year will be very large. And when
there is no change made in the tariff,
we thought we could scarcely afford to
do with the amount of revenue derived
from that source, If that duty had
been taken off it would have been ne-
cossary to make other changes which
perhaps would not be approved of by
yourhonors. It will depend very much
on the state of trade whether a change
in the tariff will be necessary next year
or not. If trade is not prosperous, and
if there is not a good revenue this year,
itis most likely that whoever holds the
reins of government next year will find
it necessary to make very material
changes.
Hon. Mr. Lorn: If there isto be a
change I hope it will be to reduce the
taxes, but it is hardly worth while to dis-
cuss this matter now, os we cannot make
any alteration. It the duty is raised on
any article L hope it will be ou spiri-
tuous liquors, for if there is an article
imported on which we can afford to pay
aheavy duty, it is ardent spirits. There
is no compulsiou in the use of it, and 1
believe we can do jast as well without
tasting it ag with it, but if we must
have something of that kind to drink we
should pay, for it. I would like to see
the duty taken off flour and other bread-
stuffs, for there will be a large quantity
required this summer, and of course the
cheaper they are the better, for the poor
man,
IIon. Mr. Gorvon: There are two
very urgent reasons why the duty should
be taken off breadstuffs. It is certain
that the approaching summer will be a
hard one, and we see by late accounts
from the corn growing States that there
is a falling off of 35,000,000 bushels
and consequently the price may be ex-
pected tobe high. The second reason
is that this system of taxing breadstufts
is contrary to the principles of com-
mercial policy which Her Majesty's
Government is using all its influence âto
induce the colonies to adopt.
Ilou. Mr. Batpensron : I do not think
there is much fault to be found with the
scale of duties, neither do I see any great
objection to tie duty of 1s, Gd. per barrel
on American flour, for there is not
much flour comes from the United States,
I would like to encourage home manu-
facture, and I would say, if we must have
liquor, let us give the preference to the
home manufactured article. I do not
think itis a proper time to enter into
a discussion on the privileges of the
Council, though IT value them as much
as any person. I consider that we have
gained a point hy making the Council
elective, Formerly the members of this
House were merely the nominees of the
happy to say thatthe greater ruling party, and that was not a desir-
those who were chosen by | able state of things. Therefore, I do not

trol would have heen given to it over the
revenue and expenditure, But till the
people think proper to extend to this,
house some little control over the revenue
and appropriation bills, and it can only
be done by an Act of the Legislature, it
would be very littl: use for us to raise
our voices against any particular items
in them.
Hoo. Mr. MacDoxatp: His honor
refers to the difference in the rate of duty
upow imported and home manufactured
whiskey ; but it should bo remembered
that distillers here have to pay a license
duty of ÂŁ25, and when that,is taken into
account, the difference is not so great as
would, at first sight, appear. As to the
other point, I quite agree with him that
we have very little control over the
revesue bill, but the great difieulty is,
how ia this House to get greater privil-
eges than it has at present? âThe ques
tion was tried time after time before it
became an elective Body, and the only
results were nopleasant diflerences be-
tween the Council and ITouse of Assem-
bly ; besides, the privileges of the former |
were rather curtailed than extended by
the agitation of the question. The House
of Assembly is very teuncions of its pri-
vileges, und if it does not choose to relax
them and grant more. privileges to this
Council, Tdo not see that we have any
remedy. I do not think that body would
consent to anything that would have a
tendency to narrow down the privileges
it has âaways claimed,
Hou, Mr. Watker: Why did not his
hovor, the member for Charlottetown,
contend for more privileges for this
louse at the time the elective Council
bill was being passed? That was the
time to have secured greater privileges,
but the opportunity was lost, and vow we
cannot: obtain them without having an
act passed lor the purpose, which I think
would not be very easily done,
Hoo, Mr. Patwen: No doubt it would
have been very well if it could have been
done at the time the Elective Council
Bill was carried, but we know very well
that privileges of that kind cannot be all
obtained at once. We were very glad
at that time to get the great principle of
an elective Council carried, and perhaps
it would have endangered the fate of
that bill if we had iutroduced into it pri-
vileges much beyond what, as a nomin-
ative brauch, we had previously enjoyed.
But having once obtained the elective
principle, it then became us to sce that
we had those privileges which, constitu-
tionally, ought to belong to an elective
branch, aud we had a far better oppor-
tunity of agitating for that change when
we had become an elective body. A great
boon was supposed to be obtained when
the Elective Council Bill was carried,
but I do not see that the people have de-
rived a single solitary advantage {rom it,
while the members have to earn their
âseats at as much expense as the mem-
bers of the House of Assembly, and I
believe far more. Ido not think, how-
ever, that there is mach use in us agita-
ting the question here now, but at the
first clection after the bill was passed,
I was anxious that it should be brought
to the hustingsâthat the people should
be informed, and the matter explained
to themâbut I met no encouragement.
I was solitary and alone on that point,
I believe the time will soon come when
the people will feel the necessity of ex-
tending greater privileges to this Liouso.
Otherwise they will see that they have
not gained anything by the principle of
an elective Council. There might be a
very proper law passed to have money
grants come up simply, or proper-
ly classified, so as to give us some con-
trol over them ; but what is our position
now? The Appropriation Bill may
come up with two or three items which
we consider obnoxious to the publicâ
forced, perhaps, by a combination of
arty iulerestsâand what is our remedy?
e may ask for a conference, and that
may be granted, as a matter of courtesy,
or we may reject the bill in toto. Then
it will be said that the whole responsi-
bility of the loss of the Dill rests at the
door of the Council, which threw it ont.
Therefore, we connot exercise any con-
trol over the Appropriation Bill, without
that onus being thrown upon ns ; but it
is in the power of the people to place no
man in either barnch of the Legislature
unless he pledges himself to support such
âa reasonable alteration as would allow
âthe Council to be, in deed and in spirit,
what it was supposed it would be when
the great concession of the elective prin-
ciple was made.
Hon. Mr. Dixtwer.: I was not an
advocate forthe alteration in the con-
âstitution of the Council, and it has
âturned out just as I expected, for this
Flonse is more expensive to the counry,

6f his honor from the| is oo part of North America where the
gr sagan taxes are #0 low, and I believe the Gov-
of way} ernment will flod it necessary before
long, to increase the advalorem duty to
124 per cent, Edueation alone twkes
one-third of the revenue,
Hou. Mr. Wayrnorne : 1 sympathise
with the remarks of his honor from
Georgetown, (Mr. Gordon), and I must
say that I think breadstuffs should be ad-
mitted free of duty. To tax food is a
mistake. But I hope to see the day
when the improved state of agriculture
will evable us to do without âmporting
breadstafls, The Island is capable of
producing everything of that kind that
we require, and more scientific farming
will evable us to do without importing
flour from Canada or the United States,
I believe the duty upon flour was imposed
about the time the Reeiprocity âTreaty
was abrogated, and when considerable
acrimony existed against the Americans
for putting an end to that treaty, I am
certainly in favor of freedom in trade in
breadstuffs, but the Goverument thought
it was not advisable to make any change
this year. It is vot so easy to raise a
revenue here as in tho old country.
There taxes are imposed on articles of
general cousumption, The malt tax of
Englund produces a revenue of, I be-
lieve, ÂŁ5,00).000; and the income tax
enabled Sir Robert Peel to abandon the
impost duties on some articles of con-
sumption. But here, if any article pro-
duees ÂŁ1200 or ÂŁ1500 a year, however
desirable it may be to remove the duty,
it will be found difficult to impose it on
avything else. Then with reference to
the remarks of his houor from the City
respecting the privileges of this House, I
do not think he is the most suitable per-
son to make such observations, He is
an old legislator, and was a member of
the Government which introduced the
elective Council bill; ana if it was possible
tohave secured greater privileges, that
was the time to have sought for them.
ITowever, there is no doubt but the elee-
tive principle is some advantage, for
there are gentlemen in this House who
would not have had seats here if the
Council had rot been elective. Tad
that principle not been carried, the Tenant
League organization would not have had
a representative here,
Tfon. the Presipent: This year the
Government is granting a sum of money
to purchase seed grain for destitute farm-
ers, and to impose a tax upon flour and
meal at the same time looks like giving
with one hand and taking from them
with the other, I have always been
opposed to taxing breadstufls, for the
cheaper they can be got the better, I
would be pleased to see that tax dis-
pensed with on account of the state of
the country,
IIon, Mr. Beer: I would also like to
see the revenue Bill passed without any
duty upon breadstufls, but I am satisfied
that all the revenue that can bo raised
will be required for the serviee of the
Colony, especially as about ÂŁ3000 are
being grauted for the purchase of said
grain. I do hope that the time is near
when we will raise all the breadstuf! we
require, for, by a little more skill and
improvement in our system of farming,
we could do so. I believe there will be
double the quantity of wheat sown this
year more than Jast, and I hope that vext
year we will not require to import so
much flour.
IIon. Mr. Dinaweiti: We are all
anxious to see cheaper bread, but with
allthe duties imposee, our revenue is vot
likely to be larger than will be required,
I would like to hear some of your honors
who are so anxious to have the duty
taken off flour, suggest some other article
on Which it could be imposed. I do
not think the Government can be blamed
for continuing the same tariff; if there
was an inerease, there might be some
reason to complain,
fon, Mr. Axperwon: If the duty
were taken off flour and put upon ardent
spirits, I think it would be a less ob-
jectionable way of raising the revenue.
Tlon, Mr. McDonatp: Your honors
are aware that flour from the Dominion
of Canada comes in under the recipro-
city treaty with that province, and while
the reciprocity with the United States
existed, it came in free from there also $
but when they have abrogated that
treaty themselves, we have a right to
impose a duty on their flour, There
were 11450 barrels imported from
Canada last year, and 1 believe a larger
quantity will be imported from there this
year if it is required; for it is found
that Canadian flour is better and costs
Jess than what is purchased in the United
States. Therefore this duty of 1s, 6d,
per barrel will not effect all flour im.
ae Canadian fiour will come in
ree,
Hon. Mr. Barpenstox: I agree with
his honor from Bedeque (Mr. Anderson)
that it would be better to take the tax off
flour and pat it on liquor, A gentleman in
the Legislature once said that if a poor
man had a certain amount of money to
spend for liquor, the lesa he got for it the
better, and I think the remark was very just.
The Honse was then resumed and pro-
gress reported,
CUSTOMS, ACCOUNTS.
Ilon. Mr. McDonatp, a member of
the Government, presented to the House the
Castoms Accounts for the past year, and
on doing 80, remarked that they indicated a
favourable state of the trade of the Colony.
The value of the ordinary exports was
ÂŁ260,470. sterling; and there were also
18,641 tons of fee 5 sent home for ealo,
valued at ÂŁ111,846. Making the total
value of exports for 1867,ÂŁ872,316 sterling.
While the importe for the same time were
set down at ÂŁ294,443; showing a sterlin
balance in favor of the Colony of ÂŁ77,883.
These figures showed that the trade of the
Colony was in a very prosperous condition,
more so than could have been expected.

ALEWIVES, FISHERY BILL.
Tion. Mr. McDowaun snid ho intended io
move for the second reading of a bill to
iit
Se iit i
revive and continus certain sections of the
| Act for the preservation of the Alewives
Fisheries, and to repeal a eertain Act there-
in mentioned ; betthe 80th standing role
| of the House had not been complied with,
âas it wae a late peried of the session, and
| as the bill was of considerable importance.
he would move that the rule be suspended.
The thirty-sixth standing rule of the
louse is as tollows :â
* No bill, resolution, or other proceeding,
founded upon any application addressed to
the House of Assembly, shall be sustained
by the Council unless an application to the
same effect, with such documents as may
accompany the same, be alse presented to
the Council in General Assembly.â
Hon. Mr, Parmer said he did not know
what the proposed alterations in the Act
were, buthe did not think the Alewives
Fisheries was a subject of any great im-
ortance to the Colony; and if the Council
intended to maintain its position as a legis-
lative body it should adhere to its rales.
Therefore he would not feel himself justi-
fied in supporting the motion before the
House.
Mon. Mr. Dinawens. said the question to
be considered was whether the bill was of
more importance than the rules of the
House. Ile thought the House should
carefully guard its rights and not permit
any encroachment upon them, though if the
bill was of very great importance he would
be inclined to give way.
Ifon, Mr. McDowaup said he did not
look upon it as an infringement of their
wivileges. The standing rules of the
lees had not been published this year, and
he supposed that the parties who addressed
a petition to the House of Assembly asking
for the bill were not aware that a petition
had also to be sent to the Council. âThe
protection of the fisheries was one of the
most important subjects that could come
before the Legislature, and he thoaght the
House would act wisely in suspeading
the rule.
Ion. Mr. Banornsron said the very
fact that a petition had not been sent to
this Branch of the Legislature, shewed
that the subject was not one of great. im-
portance, and as hethought the privileges
of the House were curtailed quite enough
already, he would oppose the motion,
Ilon. Mr. Murmurap said the question
before the House was uot the importance
of the Alewives Fisheries, but it was the
necesssity of adhering to their rules, Ie
was not in favour of contracting their privi-
leges and would therefore oppose the
motion.
lIon. Mr. Bren regretted that no petition
had been presented to the Couneil. He
felt himeclf rather awkwardly situated, for
he would like to maintain the dignity of the
House, However, as the bill waa of some
importance to a portion of his constituency,
he would support the motion to suspend
the rale,
Ilon. Mr. Hayrnonne said he thought
there was more to be gained by the bill
than lost by suspending the rule, and
therefore he would support the proposition
of his honor from Georgetown,
IIen. Mr. Lorp said the gaspereaux
fishery was not of mach importance, Per-
haps as many might be caught as would
keep halt a dozen families for a week.
Still, as the bill was passed by the House
of Assembly, it would hardly be fair not to
entertain it on acconnt ef no petition being
presented to the Couneil,
Ilon, Mr. PAtMer was surprised that
some of their honors should be so ready to
allow an encroachment upon the privi-
leges of the House, Their standing rules
were not merely for the use of the members
of the House, but for the benefit of those
whom they represented. The House, in
order to proceed with its business properly
and with advantage to the people, should
have all the information that could be
brought to bear upon the subjects which
came before it. The proposition made by
lis honor from Georgetown would have a
tendency to enconrage non-compliance with
âheir rules, and therefore he opposed it,
Hlon, Mr, Gorvow said that as they had
standing rules, they should abide by them,
If they should pass the bill because the
House of Assembly had passed it, as his
honor from Prinee County (Mr. Lord) had
said, they were not a legislative Body, but
achamber of record. âThey should stand
fast by their rules except in a case of great
emergeney,
Hon. Mr. Waker did not think it would
be any disparagement of the dignity of the
House to suspend the rule and therefore he
Would support the motion,
The House divided upon the motion that
the rule be suepended :
ContentsâIlon, Messre. MeJonald,
Walker, Lord, Beer and Haythorneâ,
Non-ContentsâHIlon, Mesere Palmer,
Dingwell, Balderston, Muirhead and
Gordonâ5,
Thus the names were equal and the Pre-
sident gave the casting vote against the
motion. On doing so he remarked that
Whichever way he would be disposed to
vote under other circumstances considerin
his position, he must maintain the dignity of
the House.

tice of bread and water may sometimes be applied at bed

be observed. If those who read this paragraph will bring it

Rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia.
-Nothing has the power of reducing inflammationand sub-
duing pain in these complaints in the same degree as Hollo-
wayâs cooling Ointment and purifying Pills, When
sunultancously they drive all nflammation and depravities
from the system, subdue and remove all poe of the
joints, and leave the sinews and muscles lax and uncontract-
ed A cure may always jbeeffected, even under the worst
circumstance. if the use of these medicines be persevered in
Lruptions, Seald Head, Ringworm, and
other Skin Diseases.
After fomentation with warm water, the utmost relief and
specdiest cure can be readily obtained in all complaints affec-
ting the skin and joints, y the simultaneous use of the Oint-
ment and Pills, But it must be remembered that nearly all
skin diseases indicate the depravity of the blood and derange-
ment of the liver and stomach consequently in many cases,
time is required to purify the blood, which will be effected by
a judicious use of Pills. âThe general health will readily
be improved, although the eruption may be driven out more
freely than before, and which should be promoted; perseve-
rance is necessary. :
On the appearance ot any ot these maladies the Ointment
should be well rubbed at least three times a day upon the
neck and upper part of the chest, so as to penetrate to the
glands, as sult is forced into meat: this course will at once
remove inflammation and ulceration, âThe worst cases will
yield to this treatment by following the printed directions.
Scrofula or Kingâs Evil and Swelling of
the Glands.
This class of cases may ve cured by Telhowdyâs patie
Pills and Ointment, as their double action of purifying the
blood and strengthening the system renders them more aff-
able than any other remedy for all complaints of a scrofulo
nature. As the blood is impure, liver, stomach and bowels
being inuch deranged, require purifying medicine to bring
about a cure,
Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the following
