lhe B Budget

Tue report of Sir Leonard Tilley’s Budget Speech occupies about thirteen

lumaos of the Mail newspaper.

Phe financial account as summarised by the Mail stands thus :—

1879 £0—Apparent deficit ..8 1,543,228) Less revenue paid in pre \

vious Vear.. : : 1,500,000 i

1883-4—Estimated eu plus. . 83,0 00,000 | Domirion lands {estimate) 2,250, 00 | Tutalestinated surplus $5,250,0 0)

Debt at five and six per « nt. to be redeemed in 1584-5 and put at |

four per cent £49,000.000 Anpual saviog on this o. 400.000 Fqnal to a permanent redaction of debt by .. vse ee $10,090,000 |

RECAPITULATION,

Total surplases till 20th June, 1884 325,093,820 Reduction of debt:.... nil dues 10,000, C00 | 235.093. 830 |

It will be observed, says the Mail, that | the surpluses alone ane ae all the Pacific railway subsidy by 30:h June, 1884.

As to the ircrease iu the expenditure so far as it bears ou taxation, we quote the Finance Minister's own words. Having explained in detail the reasons for the various items of expenditure, he said: —

‘* That amounts to $1,665,000 of the| $21,850,000 which it is supposed will be the| increased expenditure ot the present vear, and that a limited por‘ion of that will be in the shape of taxation on the people. Taking the expenditure of this year, based | upon the estimates Lhave just stated, and taking the population as a basis, the sum | the people would require to be taxed is but | one cent per head in excess of the average | from 1874 to 1878, and that notwithstand- | ing that we have spent $30,000,000 on railways and other public works since 1878

How the N. P. ruins the people is thus shown :— | Savings banks deposits from 1874

ee OOD. 64 ones son cen ce 2,300,000 | Savings banks de posits from 1878

to 1883, increase....... + +++ +$ 13,000,000 | Total deposits in 1875. 66,406,516 | Total deposits in 1883 cocec0 Papeete!

Another point which the Mail alluded | to as worth special notice is that in| which Sir Leonard Tilley deals with the. increase of our wool aud cotton trades. | Thus: 1877-78. Wool imported for

manufacturing..... 6,230,084 lbs. 1381-82. . needa 9,646,684 "

This shows an increase of 59 per cent. in the manufacture of imported wools, besides an undoutedly large increase in our own home-grown wools, The same is | true of the cotton trade, as the following |

figures show :-- 1877-78, Cotton imported. ine dpeeeytla lbs. 1981-82, .... 19,342,059 “* |

This shows an increase of 175 per) ceut. in the period of four years. Our Depends. A sbort time ago we published a| statement of our exports from the port! of Summerside, and its outports in Prince | County during last year; and to-day we | lay before our readers a statement of | goods shipped from the Port of Char-| lottetown, and its outports in Queen’s aud King’s Counties, from the Ist July, 1881, to the 30th June, 1882—as care- fully prepared for the use of our dele- gates at Ottawa. The value of the year’s exports from the port of Charlottetown is $2,820,550 ; and from the port of Summerside, $656,213: Total, $3,476,763! The oats exported from Charlottetown and its outporis, amounted to 1,606,847 bushels, valued at $637,951; and the oats exported from Summerside number 589.- 389 bushels, valued at $252,124. Total 2,196,236 bushels, valued at $890,075! The potatoes exported from Charlotte- town were 945,642 bushels, valued at $401,895; and from Summerside there were 164,522, valued at $54,967. Total 1,110,167 bushels, valued at $486,862! Ot barley, the total exports of the Province during the year were 7,20] bushels, valued a4 $5000; turnips, 88.742 bushels, $18,137; hay, 1,228) tons, $12,949. : Of eggs the total value of the year’s exports was $149,909; of pork, $138,763; fresh meats, $9,549; preserved meats, $57, 451; ° fish ix } barre ls, $117,374; ; dry fish, $2 6.448: preserved fish, $1,127,621; oysters, $13,606; fish soands, $17,693; | butter, $46,669 ; horses, $96,134 ; horned cattle, $21 204 : s] t ep $37,260: pigs, $1,756 ; poultry, $2,580; hides and! pelts, $41,522 These are only a portion—the prin- cipal portion of our exports in 1881-2. Not a bad showing for the “ tight little Island!”

The London Stan lard says owing to the} state of the Queen's health all e ngage ments made by her fcr the month of April have been abandoned. The came } aper says that en account of the threatened division in the | Irish party it is probable Mr. Parne'!] will | ubt go to América.

Information comes from St. Petersburg that the revolutionary party in Russia has issued a proclamation announcing that their preparations to meet the coronation of the Czar are complete, and that they have every hope of success in fully carrying out their devised plans. The proclamation also contains warning to all persons that they shall, if va'uing their personal safety, keep at a distance from the Czar during the ceremony of coronation. The pronuncia- mento of revolnutionists concludes with the | words: ‘*We will strike once more for the freedom cf Russia.” The proclamaticn is printed in letters of red and is bordered with the same color.

Srx.—lL was glad wo see Mr. Prowse’s } letter in Tne Eaminer; for I have a grevt

reyard for that gentleman; and would not

like to think that he would go for taxing the on'y means the public have for curing the sick and maimed. Though, as Mr.

Mr. Prowse's motives, your remarks were, I think, natural and proper. I know that all the churches are untaxed by the city. By what authority? By the authority of the Local Legislature. And why should the same authority be withdrawn in respect te the Hospital? I regret that Mr. Prowse did not make clear whether or not the City Incorporation Act exempts the Hos- pital as well as the Churches. If it does not, we can see avery good reason why the

clause exempting the Hospital from toxa-

tion was placed in the Dill to Incorporat the Sisters of Charity. If it does not, we can also see that, by rejecting that clause, the Hospital has been left liable to taxation. That it does not would seem to be the fact, from the levy made upon the Hospital last year. If it does not, the Legislative Council (who, I hear, have rejected the clause) have done a very small thing.

In a Christian commuity, it is rather surprising to hear disputed, as an extra ordinary doctrine, the statement that re- licving the poor who are sick, or maimed, or in misery, is doing God's highest work. It is, at all events,the work by wi ic,—as we are specially told by the Master,—we shall be judged at the last Nor do we see il stated by Him that any one will be excused on the plea that they refused to promote that work becanse it was denominational.

Yours truly, CITIZEN.

Mr. lcuatinale s article on *' The he Tess |of the New Dominion,” which appeared in the last number of Blackivood’s Mayazine, has a'tracte | favorable notice on both sides of the Atlantic, and is likely to bear good fruits in directing atlention to those phases of Canadian development which has treated so effectively. In reviewing the magazine, the Lendon Times says :—‘‘ One of the most interesting, and probably the most useful, articles in Blackwood s is that on ‘The New Dominion,” in which the stzik- ing progress of the various provinces of Canada is fully portrayed, and the favor- able field for British emigration is most clearly pointed out.” The New York World has quoted from the article for the purpose of impressing Americans with the extent of Canadian shipping and with the value of Canadian fisheries. The Herald has also ‘published an extract from Mr. Bourinot’s article. Facts concerning the condition and prospects of the Dominion which are, perhaps, generally unknown and when known, are teo often lost sight of, c¢ nnot fail to have a beneficial effect on our 1. putation abroad, our commerce and our immigration, when thus clearly set forth ina_ periodical of such influence as Blackwood.
