Aller some iutroduc(ory clauses re ferring to the duties and rights of citizens, President Cleveland in his io augural address promised a cessation of sectional spirit so far as the executive

cau coutrol the feeliogs in that direction, |

aud goes ou to say :--

‘*In the discharge of my ofticial duty 1}

shall endeavor to be guided by a just and unstrained construction of the constitution, « careful observance of the distinction be tween the powers granted the Federal Gov- ernment and those reserved to the states or

the people, and by a cautious appreciation |

f those functions which by the constitution and laws have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the Government.

Lt is the policy of independence favored by our position and defended by our known love of justice wid by our power ; it is the poliey of peace

suitable to our interests; it is the policy |

of neutrality, rejecting any share in foreign broils and quarrels upon other finents and repelling their intrusion here ; it is the policy of Munro, Washing- ton and Jeflerson—peace, commerce ad honest faendship with all nations—- en tangling allianess with none.

THE INCREASE OF TAXATION,

{ | ea rots

After reviewing the expenditures in the

‘way shown in the extracts published in a

former issue of THe Examiner, Sir Leonerd said :

‘| wil peoceod to establish my assertion that the increased expenditure does not r sult in increased taxation of the people. Feom 74 to 79 the amount received from

Customs, Excise and Stamp dues was

period of $4,818,787, which on an estimated population of 4,021,000 would make a tax- ation necessary if the revenne had heer collected suffice nt to pay the expenditure, of S4.88 per head. From L879 to 1884 the amount received from Customs, Excise and Stamps was $124 723, 600. The total re- ceipts were $157,687,879 and total expendi ture during the same period was $127,28,- 154, leaving a surpius of $20,429,725, or a

| necessary taxation on the whole population

estimated vw pumber 4.364.800, of only $4784 per head, against $488 for the previeus period. INFLUENCE OF THE SURPLUS ON THE KATE OF INTEREST.

Let us see where those twenty millions of a surplus went to.

Sir Richerd Cartwright—They were wasted on the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Sir Leonard Tilley—No, they were not wasted on the Canadian Pgcitic Railway or in any other way. I will tell you what effect that surplus had. [a 187374 the net amount of interest paid on the public debt was $5,115,573, or at the rate of $1.32 per head; in 1878 79 the net amount was $6,486 555, or $1.54 per head, an increase of 22 cents per head in the five years. But the etfeet of that surplus in unproving the credit of the country and permitting the redemption of maturing high rate liabilities was such that in 1883 84 our interest charge

Was $6,773,482, or a charge per capita of |

only $1.46. That is one of the results of having a surplus of twenty millions, and all ihis has been effected in addition to an expenditure chargeable to capital of sixty- five milkens in the construction of the Canadian Pacifie Railway against an expen- diture of about thirty-three millions duriog the tive years previous to 1878. COMPARATIVE TAXATION—-SIR STATEMENT REFUTED Now with reference to the statement that we are fast approaching taxation equal to that of the most heavily taxed nations in the world, | have some facts to submit. I have here a statement of revenue per head ot the various countries and of the expendi- ture in the same in 1881 2. Revenue Expendi- per head ture per

[t will be observed that the only countries below Canada are Ruasiz, Brazil, Norway, Greece, Sweeden, Turkey, Swi'gerland, Japan and Persia If we take into account the valve of a day’s labor in the countries to which [ refer, as compared with the

value here, it will be found that even then |

the taxation is really not lower than that of Canada (Hear, hear.) There are none of the compensatory advaniazes. Take the Australian colonies, and our tax- ation is not a quarter of theirs. Take the European nations and their heavy taxation is levied for the purpose cf maintaining standing armies, whije our comparatively light taxation is Gevoted to the development of a great country and the securing of a magnificent canal system, and to the pro- viding of Canada with railway facilities, which are seareely to be surpassed in any country in the world. (Cheers )

Sir, if Law right in these mat‘ers; if the |

facts are as I have stated, how deeply is it to be regretted that an hon. member, oc- enpying a distinguished posttion in this House, should have made the unfortunate statement.—statements which are calenlated to injure us abroad—to which IT refer!

(Cheers) iy THE TEMPORARY LOANS - HOW THE MONEY Prant ‘elbeg his corstitutents that they are

WAS US&KD.

Before I pass to the pext year I think 1 should say something with reference to the loan issued last summer, and tothe tem- porary loans made since that time, amornt- ing altogether to $3,500 000. I think it is right to state how this money has been used, Since the Ist of March last we have paid to Onderdonk. ov account of the Canadian Pacific Railway construction, $3,379,573. We have paid out to the Canalian Pacitic Railway, on account of subsidy, #8,386,418; on aceount of loan, #19.459,000, and, in redemption of debt, $3.991.056; making total payments of

£30,216 347. That is where the money has gopo that has been raised by the loans that we have made,

either on debentures or as temporary loans, made for six, eight or twelve months, eince the Ist of March last. [think it is proper that the House should kuow what policy we intend to pursue with reference to the floating of five per cent. liabilities, Iam notin a position to state definitely what

Then it is sugvested that we should by treasury bills jextend our teu-pnary loans for six or twelve months, so that the Government jinay not be required to go into the market jfor the present year, except for the re- 'demption of twenty-five millions of five per

/THE INCREASED DUTY ON CIGARS —WHY

IMPOSED.

Respecting cigare, Sir Leonard said: It is atated, and it is quite clear from returns }down to the present time and irom the in-

dications of the ¢ffect of the Seott Act in the future, that we shall lose a considerable excise duty next year ; and as cigars mapu | factured in the Daniniou of Canada to-day | pay into the Treasury about ten per cent. j«f their value of cxcise duty, it was thought, as the general revenue tariff is 20 per cent., that the Government might | fairly get out of the cigars a portion of the ; money which they have lost on whiskey and iheer. (Cheers.) It is proposed, on cigars of all descriptions, made in whole or part from foreign or imported leaf tobacco, | or any substitute therefor, an excise jduty of S$ per thousand, which is double the duty at present, shall he paid, making it about 20 per cent. that the consumer will have to pay instead of ten. On cigars of all descriptions, made solely from tobacco grown in Canada, and in manufactories where uo foreign leaf is used or kept, the duty shall be 3 per thousand insiead of $1.50. On wet snuff, a specific duty of twelve cents, when put up in pack»ges of leas than 5 “pounds. The present duty is eight cents. The trade is anxious and wiliing to put up snuff in smail packages and te pay the additional duty, and we are willing to take their money and ; let them have the advantage. (Hear, hear. ) On ciyars and cigarettes the customs duty is to be double what itisnow. It is now 60 cents per pound and the new duty will be $1.20 specific and twenty per cent ad valorem. These are propositions by which Wwe expert to get back a considerable portion of the money we are liable to lose on whiskey and walt jiquors during the next year. (Loud cheers.)

’ HOPEFUL CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY.

Proceeding, Sir Leonard Tilley said: | think, Sir, that the country is in a far more hopeful condition than the hon. gentleman opposite would have us balieve. ‘Take for instance the increase in the people's de- posits in chartered banks of the Dominion ; from January Ist, 1874, to Jannary Ist, 1879, the depesiis were $8,499,942, while from January Ist, 1879 to Jan. Ist, 1884, deposits were $25,903,- 304. The increase in savings banks depos'ts over withdrawals from the Ist July, 1874, to Ist July, 1879, was $1,997,422. (Cheers ) The increare in the same from July Ist, 18,9, to July lst, 1884, was $2,009,853. For baildivg and loan companies the in- crease in deposits aud purchase of deben- tures in Canada between Ist January, 1875, and Ist Jauuary, 1879, was $5,787,- 516 ; increase of seme from Jenuary Ist, 1879, to January, 1884, $9,510,731; or to recapitulate, the deposits in chartered banks, savings banks and building and loan cowpanies from 1874 to 1879 were $16,284,-

940, ‘while from 1879 to 1884 it was $55,452,988. (Cheers.) Adding to this

the estimated capital expended on factories since 1878 at $44,000,000, there has been in round numbers an increase in deposits of chartered banks, savings banks, loan com- panies, and expended in factories, to the

amount of cne hundred willicn dollars. (Loud cheers. ) [INTEREST PAID BY THE SAVINGS BANKS

lt has been said that we are paying too high a rate of interest to savings banks de- postiors, aud that we should reduce the rate ty three per cent. Mr. Speaker, ihe deposits in the savings banks are largely the earnings of the working people, and the policy of this Gov riment is Wo grant the | greatest pmount of benctit to the largest number of persons, and in payiag four per cent. interest to depositors we are doing that and getting money at « fair rate of interest. (Cheers. )

THE LABORS OF THE COUNTRY.

In reference to the general condition of the country and of laborers in the country, I have before mo a report of a speech made by the leader of the Opposition in Toronto, in which he called attention to the fact that matters were not as bad in Toronto as in other place

Mr. Blake— That is correct.

Sir Leonard Tilley—And that lsborers were enab'ed to ley by something for a frainy day. | fi:d froma report of the Bureau of ludustries for Ontario that taking wages and cost of ving for nineteen clasaes of laborers there is an averege eurplus ifor the year, for each laborer, cf $49, ‘that information will comfort the hon.
