A PLAIN : STATEMENT.
[CONCLUDED.}] +
I wish to compare the expenditure of the resent Government with that of their pre- ecessors. The expenditure under our present
Government has}been as follows, viz :—
Soe Oe reee eee $ 313,845.00 . OES 2252 Vi cS 257,308.35 ss i SE GG es Hk eva 261,275.31 ” Gis Edo’ iad 257,228.03 = Si IM 23d oink deed ob 270,477.40 ey > YBa dats... fis 279,545.35 es Chee a ee 266,317.75 “ oor in as is ca ouiea iie 304,466, 65 ? is: ékamieha 287,700.17
SR ak. 5 ess hs hag + 4 ae $2,498, 264.01
Average yearly expenditure....$ 277,174.00 lf we deduct this average yearly expenditure from that of the Davies Government, we find that we have an annual saving of $80,307.71 in favor of the present Governthent. Multiply that sum by nine and we have a
TOTAL SAVING
during the period in which the ent Gov- erhment have been in power, of $722,769.39, Great fault has been found with the deficits under the present Administration, but no hon. member has ever attempted to accuse them of extravaganee in the public expenditure. Dur- ing the past six years they have carried on the public business without taxing the people to the extent of a single dollar, Ihe taxes formerly demanded from the people are now allowed to remain in their pockets, and they are so much better off on that account. Tax- ation will, of course, be necessary in the near future. I have no hesitation in making this statement, as I feel convinced that such will be the case. At first the present deficit ap- peared to me an enormous one, until I looked into these figures and saw that our financial
ositiqn is really much better to-day than it ~ ever yet been. I saw that if the Davies Government had remained in power, we would not be nearly so well off as we are to-day. The only fault found with the present Gov- ernment is that they have been too economical. It can be said of them that they erred on the right side. The figures which I have laid .be- fore the House have been taken from the pub- lic accounts, and are therefore correct in every respect. I do not wish to charge the. Davies Government with one dollar more than they have a right to be charged with, and have, therefore, been very careful in preparing the statement which I have now made. I may be told that if the Davies Government had re- mained in power, they would have inaugurat- ed a system of retrenchment and economy.
WHY DID THEY NOT
do so when they had an opportunity? A very grave charge against the late Govern- ment was that while they actually had a bal- anoe of over $70,000 on the 3Ist Dec., 1878, the public accounts showed a balance of only $21,000. The reason for this was that large sums were carried forward to the year 1879 as unpaid accounts, although actually expended in 1878. I think I have fully disposed of the charges made against the present Government respecting capital account. I contend that the best proof that our capital at Ottawa has been largely increased, is the fact that our subsidy from the Federal Government is now about $35,000 per year more than it was when the present Government came into power. No matter how the matter is figured up, these are the facts. With respect to dele- gations, the Government have been criticized very severely. It has been asserted by hon. members of the Opposition that the Govern- ment have squandered mee sums of money on delegations which have been of no service to the country. Well, 1 cannot see matters in that light. After the repeal of the Assess- ment Act, the Government at once took steps to collect AMOUNTS DUE THE PROVINCE
from the Dominion Government. It was found that the wharves and piers belonged to the General Government from the date of Confederation, and that the Local Govern- ment had been keeping those structures in re- pair at a total cost of $139,000. It therefore became the duty of the Government to collect the sums due from the Federal Government on that account, and they sent a delegation to Ottawa to have the matter arranged. We all know how the action of the Government respecting that question was ridiculed by the Opposition and their press throughout the Province. They declared that the Govern- ment sold the wharves to the Dominion Government. I need not say that, there was not a word of truth in that state- ment. The Government will not, at first, succeed in getting more than $53,000 of the amount due, owing to obstacles thrown in their way by the Opposition, and they had to send another delegation to Ottawa by which they obtained about $24,000 more. But the General Government refused to take over ail the piers that justly belonged to them, and to ay the remaining portion of the balance just- ly due this Province. I regret to say that the Opposition in this House threw every
POSSIBLE OBSTACLE IN THE WAY
of the Government while the latter were engaged in collecting these sams. I also regret to state that the wharves have not been kept in proper repair ,by the Dominion Government since they were taken over. I must also find fault with the present Government with respect to the wharves which have not been taken over, that they have not’ kept them from falling into
ruin. lt was their duty to have kept theso wharves’. for the accomodation of the public. I know that it was their con- tention that it was the duty of the
Dominion Government to do this ; but I con- sider that no matter who owned those wharves the government should have kept them in repair, because the people required the use of them. I shall not hesitate to find fault with the Government when fault lies at their door. So far as the delegations to Ottawa were con-
thrown away, the assertions of the apne to the contrary, notwithstanding. e ques-
Union onthe part of the Dominion Govern-
cerned, the money expended thereon was not] Syrup, and take no other kind,

{ment has been discussed, and both sides of the House have agreed that great injustice has been done to this Province in that matter, and that we havea just and legal claim against them on that accovnt. From the time this question was first brought before the House, the Local Government have fought with the Dominion Government for our rights. They made demands upon the Federal Government, and when these were not granted they ap- pointed a delegation and laid our grievances at the FOOT OF THE THRONE.”
Yet the Opposition did not, give the Govern- ment credit for the manner in which they prosecuted our claims before the Home Gov- ernment. But nearly all leading journals in the other Provinces, and in our own Province also, gave the Government credit for one of the ablest presentations of our case that could possibly have been made. Before the delega- tion went to London, public men in the Do- minion Parliament frequently made state- ments tothe effect that this Province was receiving a larger amount of money from the Dominion Treasury than it was justly entitled to receive. Since the documents containing the correspondence in England were pub- lished, we have not heard a single word on the subject; and no one on either side of politics in the Dominion Parliament has ever attempted to reiterate those statements, The delegates placed that matter before the British Government in so clear a light that the posi- tion they took was beyond dispute. They showed clearly that instead of being a burden upon the Dominion, as alleged by some states- men, the contrivutions of this Province to the Dominion Exchequer has been annvally large- ly in excess of the amount which we have received,
I HAVE CONFIDENCE in the Dominion Government and in the hon- esty and integrity of the authorities of the Mother Country, that they will yet see that we receive our just rights, that the terms of union shall be fuifilled, and that we shall receive compensation for the loss we have sustain- ed. The delegates have placed this matter in such a position that it is beyond cavil, and must, ultimately, be accepted by “the Domin- ion Government. Asa result of the delega- tion, a strong intimation was given the Fed- eral Government by the Secretary of State that they should carry ont the terms of union with this Province as well as with British Columbia Although the Dominion Govern- ment have been slow in doing us justice, I be- lieve that. the latter will come, and that the matter will be duly attended to. I think it is clearly our duty to keep this question squarely before the people until we obtain our rights. If we receive our rights; direct taxa- tion will not be found necessary for many years tocome. A great difference exists as to the amounts which -the present Government obtained for the Province from the Federal Government last year. Some hon. members say that it was $400,000 and others $500,000. At all events, we receive an annual
ADDITION TO OUR SUBSIDY
ot $20,000 per year. If we receive $250,000 from the Dominion Government on account of claims which we have against them, the Op- position will say, as in times past, that we should have received five times that amount and'so on. It appears that it is the policy of hon. members on the other side of the House to pursue that course, and that they will do so to the end of the chapter. I think the least those hon. gentlemen could do is to show some little satisfaction for what has been ob- tained for the Province, and for the persistent manner in which the Government have prose- cuted our claims. It is true the Government have their faults, but they have a great many less faults than the Opposition. The hon. junior member for New London thought the Land Office should be closed up within the next few years, and the hon. member for West River thought that large discounts should be offered the people as an inducement to pay off the instalments on their farms with- ina fixed period. I disagree with both of those proposals, and | ask, wuuld it be fair to allow the lands of our farmers to fall into the hands of speculators, under whom the people would be much worse off than at present. I hope the Government will manage the Land Office as well as they can; cullect the debts due ag equitably as possible, and that our public lands will be a source of revenue for years to come. A large amount of money is
due from the people,and I hope the greater por- tion of it will be received. It will be the duty of the Government to reduce the expenditure and to keepit within the revenue. To do this they will require all their powers, unless they obtain from the Dominion Government the sums honestly due the Province. I hope
the Government will do their duty and
Exrrer OFF DIRECT TAXATION
as long as possible; and that at the proper time, when they find it to be absolutely ne- cessary, that tney will not hesitate to levy such a tax as will meet the public require- ments, But when taxation is again resorted to, I hope it will be levied in a different manner from that adopted by the late administration. Some hon. members om the other side of the House have asserted that the hon Leader of the Government is about to desert the ship, that she is among the breakers. Well, from what I know of that hon. gentleman, the cap- tain of the ship, I am quite sure that jhe will not abandon her until he has taken her out of the danger of being ship-wrecked. He will put the helm hard aport, reverse the engines, back her out from amongst the rocks,steer her into deep water, give her plenty of sea room, and, if necessary, cal! for assistance from the GRAND OLD ADMIRAL
of the fleet who commands the flag-ship at Ottawa, named the ‘‘ Great Dominion”, who istal ways ready to be found on the quarter-deck of that noble ship—who so successfully steer- ed her when, at one time in her history, she was near being stranded, into a harbour of safety and security, where she now rests se- cure in the enjoyment of peace, prosperity, and contentment.
