SatTurpay, April 21. | . After recess, t!.o af 8.20 p. m ‘The adjourned debate on Mr. Yeu’s reso- lation was resumed. \Mr Martin considered the finarcial ition of the cuutry net only unsatisfac- tory, but cerivus. He was surprised at the ominous silence of the Government + ga this quistion. They should pay the House more respect, and give their ‘opin- ions, In the estimates of revenne brought down by Mr. Sullivan, he considired the figures were placed too high.” He would

net be surprised if the Land Office did not

turn out more then $30,000. $16,000 was tao much to expect from fees—they would Mgt amount to more than $13,000. Then ‘re were to be povided for, the deficit of

t year of $12,0:0, and uppaid accounts

# $12,000 more. Add to these the worth- less Daty Bonds of $5,000, the amount lost ij Bank of P EK. Island—another $5,000, $3,000 for consolidating the laws, $750 for steam Commupication at Montague. These amount to nearly $38,000, which, added to

Of $252,000 made 2 tots! of- $290,000, did not anticipate that the revenue, includ- ing the $25,000 which the Government ex. _ pected to receive for the piers, would ex- ceed $222,500. There would accordingly | be a detiviency of $67,000 at the close of |the year. But granted that the Government receive $125,000 for the piers, were they /ebuded to spend $36,000 of it this year? At | the end of three years the whole amount ; Would be exhausted, and what were they going todothen? It wasa serious matter to contemplate, and he thought it about | time that the country received from the Government a more satisfactory explanation ‘than had been given.

Mr. SuLiivan said—a few evenings ago j Sis subject was properly brought under the , consideration of the Heuse, when the ‘oon were before the Committee, but it e Opposition had abandoned their posts and allowed the Government's resolution to pass by default. They had no arguments

ite adduce then, but since the return of)

FURNITURE,

their leader, they had plucked up a little ‘courage, and had ventured to submit a ‘resolution. They professed to be dissatisfied with the estimates of the receipts. They found nv fault with the estimates of the ex penditure, but the Government had not satisfied them as tothe sources from which theyexpected to receive means to meet, the current years expenditure. Mr. Yeo’s observations were harmless, and his speech was so mild that it could not be considered an attack. He was surprised at Mr, Sin- clair’s remarks; he had reviewed the whole question, and was displeased that the Gov- ernment had not an assurance in writing from the Dominion Government that our claim _re the piers would be allowed, and then he }said that we had no right to expect any re- cognition of ourclaim. In one breath Mr. ‘Sinclair had said we had no Jegal claim, and ‘in the next he blamed the Government for /not demanding tnterest. If we had no right |to the money, it would be monstrous to de- 'mand interest. We had a claim, and we vhad a most binding assurance from the | Fe eral Government that they would pay us whatever sum we were entitied to. Under |the Terms of Confederation, Prince Edward ‘Island was to be treated in the same way as the other Provinces. The Government were bound to perform for us what they did for them, and there they provided for this very service. They had expended large sums in the construction and maintenance of piers, and in the improvement of river navigation. Having done this in the other Provinces, they would feel the obligation of doing the same for us. He was astonish- ed at the declaration of Mr. Sinclair that we had no legal claim. The highest Court in the land had declared that the harbors, foreshores, and a!] superstructures thereon .had passed to the Dominion (if the soil passed, so did all the superstructures there- ,on) and that the Dominion Government ‘are charged with the maintenance of those structures, because it is their duty to look after the interests of trade and navigation, Every one of these works had been trans- ferred to Canada by the Terms of Con- federation, they were bound to maintain them, and there was no way of getting out of it. Mr. Sinclair considered also that the answer of the Dominion Govern- ment to the delegation was unsatisfac- tory. The Dominion Government admitted es acknowledged that all the foreshores belonged to them, and had cffered to execute a grant of them to the Provincial Goveinment, but this offer was declined, as its acceptance would involve the mainten- ance and erection of the Piers. They had then offered to convey them to any incor- porated company. It had been said that the delegates had made no stipulations as to the rates of wharfage, but as these works had paesed to the Dominion at the time of Confederation, then was the time to have stipulated. Mr. Sinclair had also com- plained that no arrangement had been made regarding the sites of the Lobster Factories upon the foreshores, and that trouble might arise in consequence, but he had made enquiries, and had found that there was not one single establishment affected, and that any grant of a Lobster Factory site now in existence was obtained before Confederation, when the Provincial Government had the power to issue the grant. Under any circumstances, it was no part of the duty of the deputation to interfere in these matters. .He challenged the Opposition to point out a single defect in the case presented by the Delegates, yet they declared that it was a weak one, and that the Deputation had not done their duty. The Dominion Government had felt the strength of their vase, amd aduwited ib. . should re-

ceiie the money, and whatever was néxssary we should receive within this year. What did they expect the Federal

Government to do or say beyond what they had stated in their memorandum / Bat Mr. Sinclair had said we had incurred this expenditure’ voluntarily, and the Dominion w. 6 not legally bound to repay us. It was his duty, as a representative of the people in the House of Commons, to see that the Dominion Government carried out their promise to Mr. Pope to maintain existing and construct new structures, under the Terms of Confederation; it was their duty to defray the cost of mainten- ance of piers, vo matter what verba! prom- ises were made. We had the as- surance of the Dominion Gove:inment that the money would be paid us. That being the case, the whole superstruc- ture of Mr. Sinclair's argument fell to the ground, and he had recourse to the Land Office, where he said we kad estimated the receipts too highly by $10.000. There were a great many tenants in good circum- stances, who had not yet attened, and they had a right to pay up. Up to the present, the receipts were largely in excess of 1881, when we had received $65,000, judging therefrom, they should be much larger this year. Mr. Sinclair had found fault be- cause the old Duty Bonds were included in the assets. A considerable sum would yeti

be received from these Bonds, and we were |

justified in believing that the whole amount | was recoverable.

{them down yearly as an asset. | tei had also said that there would be a | considerable icss sustained on the deposits ‘in the Bank of P. E. |. There might be }no loss at all. The Government’s claim was different from that of the other deposi- ; tors. The money should never have been | placed in the Bank, it should have remain- ‘ed in the Dominion exchequer. It |was no fault of the present Government, | however, as the transaction had taken place ,during the reign of the Opposition, who were responsible for the loss, if any there might be. When these slight objections were brushed away, there were really no arguments left. True, we might not receive amounts estimated, or we tight receive more ; they are merely approximations. Mr. Sinclair had said that the country is peor, and that the people are not able to pay the Land Office on account of their pov- erty, and he sought to improve their condition by imposing taxation, that was his argument, and, considering his intelli- gence and experience, it was nct too credit- able to him. If the people had not paid the Land Office last year, the money was still due, and stood as an asset, costing the people only 5 per ernt. interest, and they could not borrow so cheaply anywhere. Mr, Sinclair had thought proper to assert that the state of our finances was discredit- able to the Government and a_reflect- ion upon the Province. He _ replied that the Province was in a good position, and that the Government could carry on its affairs without taxation. We had se- cured a considerable sum, which would relieve the people of their burdens. When our opponents were in power, they did not leave the finances in as good a position as they are in now, and they had collected large taxes. In 1878, if they had paid their bills, they would have come out with a deficit of $77,000, instead ef a surplus of $13,000 as they had shown, only that they received a refund from Ottawa of $37,000 which helped to reduce the deficit to $40,000, and then thev had received taxes to the extent of $34,000. This year there was no doubt of our receiving the amount estimated, from Ottawa and other sources, amply svflicient to meet the contemplated expenditure including the deficit. Then, why should this resolution be carried? or why seek to defeat the Government? for this was a motion of want of c nfidence, and, if carried, the Government would immediately resign, and the Leader of the Opposition could then form a Government, and carry out his pet scheme of taxing the people so as to enrich them, and enable them to pay the Land Ofiice. The only reason that this resolution was introduced was to infuse some Dutch courage into the bvaliant gentlemen who had run away the other night. It would have been better if they had stayed and debated the question then, than now take up the time of the House, Tne Government had challenged them to a full discussion a week ago, but the Opposition had perferred to wait until Saturday when members were anxious to go home, and when several, including a member of the Government, had left. Such delay was a loss to the country, and was only adding more expense to the people by keeping the Legislature longer in Session. There was really nothing advanced by the Opposition requiring an answer, but he considered it his duty to point out the absurdity of Mr. Sincluir’s arguments. Unless the Government were chargeable with some wrong doing, they were not to blame for the trifling deficit. If the people had paid no taxes, they had so much more money in their pockets, and they may thank the Government forit. It would

have otherwise been paid into the Treasury, and heen spent. Ten years ago, Mr. Sinclair had declaimed

against theGovernment of the day, and said that no statesman would levy taxes which hedid not require, yet now he wished the Government to dv so, [t was avery easy

to do was to ask for it and they would be ac-

Opposition, who would then no doubt te prepared to pursue the famous dashaway pohey rocommendea by Mr. Sinclair some few years ago.

Mr. Farguuarson said the question was whether the G vernment were justified in estimating tie revenue in the way they had, Alithat was necessiry was to take a business view of the whole matter. Mr. Sullivan had said that only for the falling offin the Land Office, the accounts for the year would have come out square, but the Opposition had warned him what the result would be. Onr revenue resources were very limited. The average receipts from the Land Office fur the last five years were $52 000, and this year would not give us more than $40,600. The Commissioner last year had done his very best to collect.

Some of the best farmers had paid in fvll in December, With the best men paying up in full, it was but

natural to suppose that there would be less collected each year. He saw no shadow of a reason why we should expect to receive $36,000 from Ottawa. The Government pretended they knew something which the House did not. Having been paid for their services as delegates, the House had a right to know everything that took place, especially when they made use of it them- selves. If we were going to receive $125,- 000 for the piers, could it injure the case to let the people know it. There were

‘members supporting and voting with the he > ; The present Government ;Government who did not believe their

He | manner as the late Government, bringing ‘there was no reason why the Government Mr. Sinc- should not be run for the next ten years

without taxation. If we went back for the last four years, how would the Government stand if they had had to depend solely upon local receipts, but during that time they had received from the Dominion Government, iv the shape of refunds, $66,- 583 45 which should have been left there, and they had $12,000 of deficit beside. They had collected $81,938.90 of Assese- ment from the people, and were actually in debt some $98,000. Whatever we might receive fer piers should be funded, and if we could not live on the interest, then put on direct taxes, But it would be found that the Dow‘aion Government would not take one in ten of our piers. The struc- tures on the mainland, at Rimouski for instance, could not be compared with our little brush wharves. The Government had not provided sufliciently for Public Works. We had petitions asking for services for which there was no money going to be spent. At the end of this year, even counting in the $35,000, $25.000 would not meet the deficiency. What was to be done with our wharves? The Dominion Government were not going to make any appropriation. There would be no wharfingers and no wharfage collected. The wharves would rot down. ‘The roads were not properly kept up. There was not half enough money granted for pur- chase of stock. TheGovernment had taken great credit for what they had done for the Exhibitions; but public opinion and the Opposition had driven them toit. It was unwise of the Leader of the Government to say that the Duty Bonds were worth any- thing. If they were worth nothing in 1879, they were worth less to-day, and should be written off, There would be a loss also of $6,000 on deposits in Bank of P. E. Island. It was wrong t» use any more of the Land Office receipts than $25.000, the interest of the capitalized amount. I[t was clear to all what the result would be, if they could not confine their expenditure within that amount—simply to levy taxation

[To BE CONTINURD, |

Before Caffery, one of the Phoenix Park Murderers, pleaded guilty he was informed that the Crown gave no hopes of the miti- gation of the sentence of death which would be passed upon him. When Delaney was called upon to plead, he said; ‘*I am guilty of being in the Park at the time Cavendish and Burke were killed, but I did not committ the murder I plead guilty.” The judge explained that this really amounted to a plea of innocence, Delaney then formally pleaded guilty and said: ‘I was brought into this at first foolishly, not knowing what it was, and was forced from my work to go to the Park. We had to obey the orders of the Society or take consequences. When I got into the Park I could not get away. I saw the murders committed but took no part in them. I went te the Park on Kavanagh's car. He speaks the truth, so does Carey. The murders were committed by Joe Brady and Timothy Kelly, and nobody else. I saved Judge Lawson’s life at the risk of my own. I was put on to shoot him by Mullett and Brady. The only way to escape the task was by calling the guard’s attention.” His sentence will probably be commuted to life long servitude.

The trial and conviction of Joe Brady, sars the Scottish American Journal, has startled the people of this country and made them compare the rapidity with which justice is administered in Great Britain with the seemingly interminable manner in which it is protracted here. The Jowrnal goes on to say : But will the legislators of the country take a lesson from this trial, and amend their criminal law and practice ?
