Tus Darty EXAMINER.

MARCH 25, 1884

The Organ and the Public

Accounts.

Tue Patriot imagives that the Gov erLment will have to re-impose direct taxation this year, aud is consequently in a very happy mood. It is just possi- able the orgap is wrong as it usually is. But supposing the Government were to re-impose direct taxation for 1854, do they deserve no credit for carrying oa the public business successfully for 1882 and 1383, without any assessment what- ever? Do they not deserve a fair mea- sure of praise for proviaing liberally for every branch of the publie service, with deminished revenues from other sources, and the receipts from taxes for five years, only slightly ian excess of the amount which would be yielded by the old Land Tax Act? Of course the Patriot will give them no credit for these things, but avove the hacks of party, there is a jury composed of right thinking, independent men, who will give honor to whom honor is due.

If the Goveromeut were to impose direct taxation for 1884 to the amount of $36,000, nobody who approves of maiv- taining the present system of education would bave any just grounds to complain. The cost of edacation for 1883, has been $101,193.41.. It will, in all probability, be greater in 1884. ‘This is over $36,000 greater than the Davies Govern- ment paid for the same service in 1878. Assumiug that direct taxation was un- necessary in 1878, it might be necessary now to the tune of $36,000 per year.

Durivg their five years of office the presest Government have paid the fol- lowing sums for education :—

Had education cost as little in the last five years asit did for the two years when the Davies Government were in power, the accounts of the Government at the Banks would show the large sum of $116,406.57 to our credit, on the 31st of December last.

Whatever money may be received from the Dominion for the piers, is due to the good mauagemeut of the present Government. Every person knows that if the Grits were in power they would not have thought of this claim, and would not have received a dollar, But they would have raised by direct taxation all the money which the present Government have collected from the Dominon, and as much additional cash as they would have found necessary to support their wonted extravagance.

The Patriot strikes a balance between an amount which it alleges we are to receive for the piers, and the deficit at the close of 1883, and thereby shows that the balance against the Province is $1,657.58. Admitting, for argument sake, that the organ is correct, this state of things is highly complimentary ‘o the Government. Even the Patriot cannot find much fault with that balance, but Mr. Laird would be much better pleased if the money to keep our accounts square had been taken from the poor people of the Isiand in the way of direct taxation, than that our just debts should be collected from the Dominion

Mr. Laird may have the mortification to find that the amount to be received from the Dominion for the maintenance of piers since 1878, will be much larger than the figures given in the Patriot. Still greater mortification may be ia store for him in the same way. ‘The present Government are not the men to sleep on the rights of Prioce Edward Island.

Although the present Governmet paid, in the five years they have been io power, the large sum of $482,316.32 for education, including twenty fall quarters’ salaries to teachers, the Patriot charges them with an additional quarter’s salary, which, it alleges, is a debt they owed at the close of the present year. The silliness and uofairness of this mode of dealing with the ecconats is apparent to everyone. The Davies Government having only paid three quarters’ salaries to teachers in 1878, were fairly charge- able with the other quarter, but the present Governmeut paid four quariers for each year they have been in power.

Marine School.

Our attention has been drawn toa petition to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, asking for a grant to re-establish the Marine School which was run in connection with the Charlottetown Busi- ness College. We wish to urge upon the Goveroment the importauce of such a school. Next to the agricultural interest of the country is our marine interest. Uniess we have the means of carrying off our agricultural productions they will be of little value to us. We cannot ex- port our produce without ships, and ships caunot be ran without qualified men, and qualified men cannot be had without marine schools,

It will be remembered that the Mer-

chau’ Shipping Act, bearing date July

|

2nd, 1872, made it compulsory for all vessels, over 150 tons register, en-

‘gaged in foreiza trade, to carry past

mesters and maces. Ihe school in ques- tion was established to meet the require- ments of that Act. It is unnecessary for us to refer to the work performed by that school. The best evidence that its work was thorough in every particular, is the success attained by the candidates at the Board. The school has been of great value to our sailors, at a small outlay on their part. We know of many who have re- ceived certificates at this Board who could ill afford to go to Halifax or St John to prepare themselves for the same examination. It also kept while ia operation a surplus supply of past mariuers at this port, which is very essential, for navigation is so uncertaio at different seasons that it would bea serious loss to the shipping interests to have vessels detained here avy length of time for want of qualified mepv to com- mand them. The law being compulsery. the officers must be had, otherwise veseels wil! not be allowed to proceed on their voyages.

But we vote further, by an Act of Parliament passed in May last, to take effect in April next, entitled ‘Aa Act respecting certificates to Masters and Mates for the Island and coasting trade,” that vessels engaged in the above trade are also required to carry passed masters and mates. If somethiag be not done, and that immediately, our shippicg in- dustry will be seriously retarded. eit is, therefore, absolutely necessary that this school be opened at once in order that candidates may enter and graduate be- fore the opening of navigation, thereby preventing trouble, annoyance and con- fusion. We do not know of any way by which a small sum of the public money can be more beneficially expended in forwarding the interests of the whole people than by granting the prayer of this petition. We are quite certain that ifthe Government acceeds in this re- quest—a request that comes from a portion ofthe people themselves—they will be amply sustained by the country at large.

The Dominion Exhibition, 1884.

A carce and influential meeting of the Central Board of Agriculture, of Nova Scotia, was held at Halifax on the 13th inst., at which matters relating to the holding of County Exhibitions in different parts of that Province during the coming autumn, engaged the atten- tion of the Board. The importation of live stock was also a subject which re- ceived due consideration.

The fact that the claims of our Prov- ince to the Dominion Exhibition this year, was fully recegnized by the Central Board of Agriculture, of Nova Scotia, was clearly set forth at their meeting, by the adoption of the following proposition : ‘Transport of exhibits to the Dominion Exhibition, if held at Charlottetown. The committee would be prepared to recommend the necessary facilities for this, as in the case of the St. John Ex- hibition.”

The foregoing statement shows that the people of Nova Scotia do not con- sider it impracticable to eutertain the question of a Dominion Exhibitlon at Charlottetown, but on the contrary their Board of Representatives recommend the necessary steps to ensure an exhibit from their Province.

The people of New Brunswick are also ready to acknowledge the rights of this Province, and will returo the com- pliment paid them by our people last autumn, by sending an exhibit worthy of that large Province to the Charlottetown Dominion Exhibition, 1884.

Roller Skating.

A ROLLER SKATING RINK is now being erected in Calais, Maine, and will be in operation some time in April next. It is to be 178 feet long and 86 feet wide, but the skating surface will be some- what smaller. ‘To give an iclea of the relaiive difference between the size. of the building and the skating surface, we may mention that the the Rink at Waterville, Me, is 152 x 85, with a skating surface of 140 x 70. Something like twenty roller skating rinks are in operation or being built in Maipe, and throughout New England in towns of any size, roller skating riuks are in sucessful operation. Within the last three or four years roller skating has become a mania in the Atlantic United States and spread across the continent to the Pacific.

About ten years ago roller skating had attained a degree of popularity in the United States; but owing to the fact, it is said, that Plympton, the iuventer, turned his attention alsaost wholly to the Kuropean field, the interest in the sport died out in a measure on this side the water. In England numberless rinks were erected, and it was not long before they were opened iv Paris, Vienna, Rome, and in Australia, New Zealand, and the East Indies. In all the Euro- pean watering places the interest in roller skating has been largely matu- tained until the present time.

We are of opinion that roller skating cannot compare with the sport of the graceful aud exhilarating skating on ice ; but the former furnishes a means of recreation, emusemeut aud beautiful ex- ercise at seasous of the year when there is no ice, and in sections where there is no ice which can be utilized for skating purposes,

lt oceurs to us that the Citizens’ Skat-

ing Rink might be profitably turned into |

a roller skating rink after the ive skating

amen

season isover. The floors of roller akating rinks are made from hardwood— that of Calais will be of birch and maple, laid on an underfloor of planed hemlock, Could not these floors be made in sections and laid down and taken up between the regular skating seasons. Perhaps there are not “millions in it,’ but is not the idea one that the shareholders and directors of our skating rink might consider? The building is idle about nine months in the year. As a roller rink it might be utilized during the period named, with a prospect of devideuds on the outlay,

It appears that the trade in roller skates has become a heavy business io the United States, and that some dozen or more manufacturers are vying with each other in perfecting and introducing their respective skates. '

The Loan Bill in the Senate, SENATOR HOWLAN’S SPEECH.

Hon. Mr. Howtan—I am afraid that a very great mistake would have been made by the Government if they had not in- cluded the winter port of Halifax in this project, and I watched very closely the opinions expressed by the members from Halifax, and in this particular case I am sorry to see that the junior member has not been as happy in his remarks as he has hitherto been. Then as to the senior member, he took up the time of the House with finding fault with the Minister of the Interior instead of feeling gratified that the hon. Minister has given us the benefit of his views as a member of the Gov- ernment on this question, Then he flew from thai to the (lobe.

Hon. Mr. Power—It was the hon, Min- ister of the Interior himself whe introduced the Glube article into this debate.

Hon. Mr. How1ian--Does the hon. gen- tleman believe for a moment that if, by ary turn of the political wheel in this coun- try parties had changed sides in Parlia- ment, the incoming Government would not have come to the rescue of the Syndicate, or that they would not have done what is now being done, or what has been stated they offered to do, take into consideration the claims, if they were right and prudent, of one of the Provinces of the Dominion? It is not to be supposed for a moment that they would not have done so; therefore, so far as this question now before the House is concerned, the article referred to has no bearing whatever upon it, and I was quite surprised that the hon. gentleman should detain the House in the manner he has done on that subject. The next item he gives us is that it is a most serious propo- sition that this Government puts before the Legislature, and before the country, And what is the serious propoeition! The hon. gentleman puts it in this way: that inas- much as the sum we propose to loan to this Company is nearly one-third of the tota amount of the public debt of the Dominion of Canada when we entered into Confedera- tion, that necessarily it must be an unwise and improper policy for the Government to entertain the proposition at the preseat time. If ever there was a mere puerile statement, without any argument in its favor, it is that statement ot the hon. gen- tleman from Halifax. For, so far the revenue of the country has more than met the requirements of the Dominion. While we have gone on expending large sums of money on Public Works and improvements which are necessary for a growing country like this, nobody can pretend to say that Canada has sustained any injury from those expenditures, and if proof were wanting of the vigor and resources of this Dominion we have only to point to the fact that Canada, with a population of four millions, has been able to

GRAPPLE SUCCESSFULLY

with a project of this magnitude. One would think that the logic of facts, and the incidents and events of the past few years, had so clearly eradicted from the mind of the hon. gentleman the idea that the country was not equal to the carrying out of this project, that | was surprised to hear him make use of the arguments which he has used here to-day. The hon. gentleman has a great deal to answer for, coming as he does from one of the commercial centres of the Dominion, for having taken the position he has on this question. One of the ideas put forth prominently by the Board of Trade of Halifax, of which I understand my hon, friend is an important member, has been in the direction of ex- pending a large amount of money in con- nection with the extension of this road and the making of Halifax the winter port, and if that Board, who may be properly called the exponents of the commercial interests

of Halifax and Nova Seotia, have not hesitated to state that it is in the interests of the whole of

Canada that this road should be completed to Halifax, we cannot believ® that the hon.

gentleman represents, ou this question, the opinions of the Province from which he comes. Then the next thing the hon. gen-

tleman sayg is that this loan to the Cana- dian Pacitic Railway Company is going to damage the credit of the Dominion of Can- ada. In what way is it geing to

DAMAGE OUR CREDIT?

In my opinion, if the matter is investi- gated fora mement, we must necessarily come to the conclusion that it is guing to assist the credit of the Dominion in the money markets of the world. The facts of the case are that some fifty millions of dollers have been brought into the raiiroad,

of which sum twenay-five millions of dol-

lars have been brought iato the country,

and they are now going to borrow twenty-

three millions inore to complete the road in

two years, and expend that money in gup

own country, Tomy mind it is a proof that

the Company and the Government, and

the people have still faith in the future of

Canada, and that fact is not going to in-

jure ouc credig. On the contrary, to my

mind, it is going to eatablish in the money

markets of the world confdence jin the

stability of our institutions and the walue of

the security which we offer to our credit-

ors. Then we have had to listen to some

exploded ideas about the Latercolonial Rail-

way. Whep that road was undertaken we

were told that it covjd not possibly pay; | that it had to pass through 100 miles of

country that produced nothing, and eould furnish no traffic fora railway. Tile first fuew years after the road was completed and

Salis ee eatin

: eS es - ae a ee

opened for business, we had it atated | on the floor of this Howse that the road | conld never pry. that it was a waste of| public money, that it was r ling up an enormous debt ou the country, and that the Government ought to advertise for some company tu take the read off their hands. The Governwent, however, liad faith in the future of the country, and we find that they were justified in their opinions, and they have the satisfaction to-day of seeing the road move than paying its working ex- ,enses, and we are now asked by the very sane parties who opposed its construction on the ground that it would not have suilicient traflic to pay its running ex- penses, to build another road and shorten the route to the winter port of Halifax. We are told that the Canadian Pacific Rail- way wil! not pay, because it runs for a cer- tain portion of the distance through a country which is barren and unfit for agricuture; but do not hon. gentlemen know that every trans-continental railway that we have on this continent runs for a certain distance through rocky, uncultiv- able Jands or barren wastes! I would ask the hon. gentleman if he will pretend to say that the Union and Centra! Pacific Railways run through an arable country from end to end? While on this point | may say that the question that agitated the people of the Pacific coast with regard to the construction of that road, was that of Chinese immigration, Those who remem- ber the events of 1854 will not forget the interest taken by the people of the United States in bringing the Chinese to that country. The Chinese Government were induced to send out a delegation to the United States to see whether the state- ments made by Mr. Barlingams were cor- rect. After being feasted from one end of the country to the other, and wined and champagned from New York to San Fran- cisco, they returned to China and sent out agents and Chinese laborers who planted vineyards and introduced indigo cultivation, silk growing and other valuable industries on the Pacific coast.

Hon Mr. MacDonatp—Yes, and built the railways.

(Concluded in our next.)

PROVINGIAL LEGISLATURE.

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. a

Monpay, March 24, 1884.

A petition was presented by the Lon. Mr. Lefargey from certain Oddfellows of Summerside, asking for an Act to Incorpor- ate the Prince Edward Lodge, No 22, of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, of Summerside.

The prayer of said petition was granted, and a bill, intreducedto that effect, was received aud read the first time, and re- ferred to the Private Bill Committee to report thereon.

Hon. Mr. Svuutivan introduced a biil, having for its object the prevention of trespassing on Princetown Common and Roya!ty, and to provide for the punist- ment of breaches of the law in that respect by the imposition of fines and penalties.

The said bill was received and read a first time, and ordered for second reading to-morrow.

Hon. Mr. SuLiivan also presented a bill respecting Liquor Licenses. The object of this bill is to levy a tax or duty on all whoiesale liquor licenses authorized by “The Liquor License Act 1883,” said duty to be paid into the Treasury of this Province and also that a tax or duty be charged on all vendors’ licenses issued under the pro- visions ef ‘The Canada Temperance Act,” 1878.” This Bill received the first reading, and was made the order of the day for to- morrow. The introduction of this measure was opposed by Mr. Sinclair and other members of the Opposition; and, on motion that the resolutions on which the Bill is based be agreed to, the House divided, and the names being callea for, they were taken down as follows:

Yeas—Hons. Messrs, Sullivan,'Ferguson, McLeod, Arsenault, Campbell, Prowse, Macdonald; Messrs. MeKay, Blake, Bent- ley, John McLeat, Macdougall, A. Martin, Beer, D. ©. Martin, Richarés—16.

Nays-—Messrs. Perry, Sinclair, Farquhar- son, Hooper, McF'adyen—5,

The Speaker read a letter from Mr, Blake stating that he would be unavoidably absent from the Province for a short time, and could not therefore act as a member of ‘the Public Accounts Committee.

Mr. Macpove@at was then appointed a member of the Public Accounts Committee in the place of Mr, Blake, who received leave of absence from the House,

The House was then adjourned until 3 o'clock this afternoon. ,

Tue United States Senate Committe of In- vestigation on the adulterations of food in New York, made a report a few days ago, They say that out of thirty samples of butter bought and submitted to chemical analysis, only ten were genuine butter, several factories in New York and Brooklyn making imitation butter out of fat brought from the West and from France and Italy. | The rrodwetion aggregates 40,000.000 Ibs, annually, thus depriving the State of $10,000,. COO revenue per annum, Adulterations of milk and other food products were also found, Of 5.000.000 quarts of milk furnished in New York daily it was found that 200 000 quarts were of water, bearing 3,000,000 quarts of pure skim milk.
