—Montreal Gazette: Mr. Greenway has well saidt that the issue is one of the gravest im portance, not only to Manitoba, but to every province in confederation. Upon the Manitoba Government rests the repon- sibility of settling this question itself, as it ought to, or of involving the whole of the Dominion in what is really a matter of purely provincial concern.

He believed estimates should always be real. The Government are nie) y custodians of the people’s mopey nd it is their duty to see that the expen- liture is kept close to the amount esti- mated. In very few instances were the estimates of last year exceeded. it was true that the Public Accounts showed a de- ficit of $20,164. But it was only an appar- ent deficit. The capital account amounts to $22,000, and if they were te take this off they would have a surplus. The capi- tal account included a new _ boiler for the Hospital for the Insane, which was good forthe next 15 or 20 years and should not be charged agaiust the year. They also fitted up anew department in the Provincial Building, which was good for years. There was also an expenditure of $7,400 forthe steamer Hillsborough, which should not be charged against the year. Then there is the claim against the

They also built a new wharf which cost $1,685. These expenditures foot up the sum of $21,636.

Rev. Mr. Grant, a Baptist minister at Win- |

marks of his own on another occasion, |

after which he explained his present posi- tion. He is thus reported :

* Both the Confederation and Manitoba acts proved that the province Cannot take

Looking at the question in that light, and after hearing the full text of the remedial order, he retracted al] reflec- tions on the Dominion Cabinet, and was glad tke provincial government decided to take time to consider the whole matter. If there was any fault it was io the Act of Confederation, and to secure equal rights and privileges that constitution would nave te be changed. He urged patience and unity in seeking to settle the question, and believed that calm delibera- tion would ultimately establish the princi- ple of national schools.”

—From several of our — wide-awak awivertisers who make use of our widely- circulated paper, we notice a nascent ten- dency towards the cash system. The old- fashioned, worn-out method of allowing bilis to run on for an almost interminable length of time, cannot be adopted with ad- vantage to either party in this progressive age. Such a system is unfair to the mer- chant and cruel to the buyer. Weall know that under the credit sysiem the merchant must add a certain percentage to the price of the goods in order to recover himself for bad debts. This means one of two things, that the seller has two prices, or that the cash bayer must pay at the same rate for the article as the book cus- tomer. We venture to think either plan radicaiiy wrong. “Let not him who sells or buys,” says S. Clement, “name two prices, but state the fixed price and keep to the truth; if he does not get his price, he gets the truth and is rich in the pos-

session of his integrity.”° Through the credit system people have been tempted to buy things they

could really do without—thinking that in the future some lucky windfall would drop at their feet and thus enable them te meet the bill when due. Plautus in her “ Aseheraria,” introduces a passage showing the custom of the ancien! Greek, Coelereta: “ When I send tor a loaf to the baker’s, for wine to the vintner’s, cer- tainly the articles are delivered ; but when? Why, as soon as those people have touched the cash. She goes on in her speech to

contrast the difference between cash pay- |

ment on the one hand and of credit on the

other. It would not bea bad idea to go

back two centuries before the Christian

era and copy their way of doing business. _ ow —

There was a certain class of expen- diture that could not always be kept down, and that was the expenditure on public works and on education. These are two branches of the public service that must be maintained. In other cases the expen- diture had been reduced to a minimum. For instance the expenditure in the De- partment of Justice in 1879 was $26,000, and the expenditure last year under the present administration was only $16,000. The average expenditure under former administrations was $20,271 and the average of the present Government has

| been only $17,863. In regard to legislation re- | 7

the cost has been reduced from $14,000 to $8000 as a result of the. Amalgamation Act. Heclaimed that it was more difficult to make ends meet now than it was during the time oftthe late Government.

administration is $121,000. The former Government neglected the public works, and the present administration had to make a larger expenditure on thisaccount. He

the increasing expenditure must be con- The revenue is about $281,600, and we will soon have

to pay $125,000 for education alone. The Government did a_ little last year in regard to this matter,

and the effect was scarcely felt. Last year they made an estimate as to how much they would receive from taxes. They esti- mated $30,000 from the land tax, and they vot $30,500. From the Land Office they

lestimated that they would get $40,000,

‘to send out valuators in cases

and the amount received was $36,000. They got more than they estimated from the commercial travellers’ tax, but the in- come tax fell short about $2,000. He thaaght it was most gratifying to all con- cerned that there was little or no friction in the collection of the land tax. Under that Act the Government had pewer where it was suspected the land had been under- valued, but only in two cases were they sent out. Of course there were more eases of undervaluation than these, but when the men were notified they came to the front and did what was right. Under the Temporary Loans Act, passed in the closing days of the last session, they suc- ceeded in getting from the people nearly $40,000, which fact indicated the confi- dence the people had in the Government and institutions of the country. This large sum draws 4 per cent. andis to be paid on call. The estimated expenditure for 1895 was $289,000, and he thought the revenue would be suificient to meet this. Last year they spent $4000 on exhibitions and this year they will spend $6000. He thought few persons would object to this expenditure as it is an expenditure mainly in the interests of the farmers. During the last four years the exhibitions have been in the hands of com- panies. But after running them during this time the companies found that they could not make any money under the ex- isting arrangement. They fairly carried

} + : > the House ia due time. Pro- ceeding, he said the interest account

would be less than last year, and the cost ; of legislation would also be somewhat less. He would uot, however, go over all the items of expenditure. They would be before the House in a few days, when they would no doubt be carefully con- sidered. Respecting the Registry Office, he claimed that there were not too many men there, and asserted that the work in that office had not been properly attended to during the late administration, This year they would have to spend more on roads, as the increasing number of cheese factories made it necessary to have more They will also have to pro- vide for a sinking fund, as_ the result of a lack of proper adminic tration oa the part of preceding Govern- ments. This year they expected to receive from public lands $30,000; from the

cross-T¢ ads,

the Jand tax, $32,500; from

income tax, $6,300; from the com- mercial travellers tax, $4,200; and from the succession tax $700 or $800.

They also expected a goodly sum from the steamer Florida as a consequence of the lamage caused by her to the Southport

last year. The total estimated revenu> is $282,000. They were making an honest

effort to make revenue and expenditure meet, and when the year’s transactions were closed he expected there would bea small surplus. He hoped that at the next Dominion election a Liberal Government would be returned, in which case he felt sure the claims of the Province would be fairly judged, and when these claims were properly recognized they would be able to greatly reduce the taxes.

Hon. Mr. Gordon followed. He said that he was placed ata disadvantage in consequence of having to address the House after the Leader of the Govern- ment, a man well versed in the law and a very clever speaker. The Leader was a good special pleader, and did al] that Jay in his power to show that the country waa prospering under the present administra- tion. This was all very fine; but it is use- less to close our eyes to facts, and to cry out that all is well when such is not the

case. The Leader tells us the country isin a most prosperous condition. But what are the facts? When the McLeod

administration went out of power the debt as shown by the Public Accounts was about $102,000. Their average was about $7,500 a vear after holding power for thir- teen years and without raising one dollar by taxation, To-day there is afloat $185,000 in debentures. Thesed¢bentures are not held here only but also in the other provinces where they have a tendency to degrade us. Then, the sum of $40,000 was secured un- der the Loan Act. Addthis sum to the $185,000 in debentures and the $45,000 dragged from the people and where do we find ourselves? Where is the grand showing referred to by the Leader of the Government. He could as- sure the Leader that the people were not at all satisfied. They were crushed down and felt the burden greatly, despite the Leader’s boast. They paid the taxes im- posed by the Government because there was no way outof the difficulty. But complaints were heard on every side. The Loan Act had worked very well. If it had been adopted in the first instance, instead of issuing debentures, some $7,400 in in- terest would have been saved each year. There was one item that was made to do duty year afler year, and that was the Registry Office. He was surprised that this. matter had béen brought upagain this.year. In 1893 the Leader of the Government said that every- thing in that office was all right, and now he tells us that the work had been grogsly neglected. But he (Mr. Gordon) thought it was a case of “‘inuch ado about noth- ing.” Theexpenditure in the Department of Justice was uncontrollable, ard de- pended largely upon the amount of crime committed—-upon the number of criminal cases. Respecting the item for education Mr. Gordon pointed out that the late Gov- ernment paid $113,000 for this purpose in 1890. He agreed however that a check

o 5

must eventually come in the expenditure under this head. The Leader boasted of the correctness

of his estimates. But what has become of the amount estimated for poll tax ? Where are the receipts under this head? The Leader made reference to a claim which they had against the steamship Florida, and said they hoped to realize a snug sum on this account. Hope was a good supper, but a very poor breakfast. It was certainly a most extraordinary claim to put in capital account. The Leader had also boasted concerning the amount

expended for road machines. But these machines were not much of a success. They improved the roads where

improvement was not necessary, and were failures where they were most needed. The people called them mud machines. The people wanted the money which now went to these machines. He claimed that in- come tax had been unfairly collected ; that in some instances Conservatives had been taxed while their Grit neighbor with a larger salary had been allowed to go free. There was one thing that he would like to impress upon the Government and that was the necessity there was _ for exercising more care and econ- omy in the expenditure of public money. Neither party has been as careful in respect to this matter as tl.ey should have been. It has been said by an eminent statesman that “the natural ten- dencies of a colonial Government favor the growth of a pernicious system of official extravagance.” But he had hoped after the utterances of the Leader of the Govern- ment that a check would be applied to this system, during his term at least. The Leader said on assuming power that the days of deficits were past—that here- after expenditure and revenue would be made to meet. He thought then that the golden age had arrived, but the con- trary has proved to be the case. Com- plaints are louder than ever respecting the senseless and useless expenditure in many instances. The expenditures must be con- siderably decreased. The Hillsborough Ferry was @ great sink for public money. There was more extravagance and plunder- ing in connection with this ferry than with any other institution in the province. To back up this statement Mr. Gordon showed that the company who placed the Elfin on the ferry realized a very hand- some dividend out of the receipts from ferriage money. He was informed by the men who ran the former steamer that they paid the Government £600 for the use of the steamer, and after the season’s

work they had a clear profit of £300, Last year the cost of oper- ating the ferry was over $25,000.

In conclusion, Mr. Gordon said he would be the last man to attempt to decry the credit of the country. He was not indebted to any
