Hon, ir, Ferguson's Speesh.:

(CONTINUED )

The Opposition professcd to believe that there was a deficit instead of a surplus, as shown by the Public Accounts for the past year. The hon. member for West River indulged in auch remarks as might interest school boys, with respect to this matter, but they were net entitled to much con- sideration. The hop. meuber will find on the closest examination, that the Public

factory than ever before. If he (Mr. Far- quharson) applied the same rule to former ‘years as had been applied by him to the accounts for 1881, he would find that the comparative reault would be most satisfac tory to the present Government. He (Mr. Ferguson) eld in his hands a statement slowing the receipts from THE SALE OF FULLIC LANDS from the year 1854 down to the present time. Some hon. members « ‘Opposition ap- peared to think that the money derived fron the Land Office shou'd be funded, and that the Government should use only the terest. As had heen clearly shown by the hon. Leader of the Government in his Budget Speech, yesterday, no Government having any regard for the public interests would do anything of the kind, for if they funded the money they might, lose tie whole of it, and could not expect to obtain mere than 4 per cent. interest, and would find it necessary to levy atax under the Asspssement Act to meet the requirements of the country, costing for collection and assessing probably not less than 16 or 18 per eent. He could not belicve that those hoa. geutlemen, in urging the government to pursue that course were sincere, for when members of the previvus government, | they never attempted anvthing ef the kind. , [f they had, they w@uld have been laughed at. Before Covfeéeration took place, these would have been some substantial argu- ments in favor of euch a course, because the Governments of that day had aright to apply THE RECEIPTS OF THE LAND OFFICE to the paynient of the debentures issued to raise money wherewith to purchese the estates. As we borrowed the moneys at that time invested in those estates, we had a right to make prorision from the moneys realized from the sale of the lands for paying off the debt. Yet hon. gentle- memopposite boasted .f the revenues we had gt that time, as if ail the moneys then rev@fved at the Land Oilice were legitimate revenues of the Province. When we en- tered Confederation we were granted the sun of $900,000 by the Government of the Desminion, because we possessed no Crown Lands, in order to place us in the same position in that respect AS THE OTHER PROVINCES OF CANADA. All the other Provine-s possessed Crown Lands; but those of this Island were iong ago given away by the British Govern- iment, and it was necessary that, on. enter- ‘ing Confederation, we should be placed on ‘an eqnal footing, in respect te revenue, with our provincial neighbors. The Do- tninion, therefore, gave us the sum of $900,000, a part of whici.—$100,000—was to remain at interest. That was the mau- ner in which we obtained the moneys with which we bought our Isnds, the proceeds of which we ere using in the same way as the people of the other Provinces are using similar moneys. This is cone in the Pro- vinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. THEIR CROWN LANDS

will not last forever; although they have considerable resources in this way, there will be a diminution in a very short time. They have granted away vast tracts of them for Railway purposes. No sensible wan, with the responsibility of Govern- ment upon his shoulders, would now make any other use of the m: neys received at our Land Office, than was made at present, All those hon. members of the Opposition who had been members of former Govern ments had pursued precisely the same course with respect to those funds. The RECEIPTS FROM THE PUBLIC LANDS,

from 28th December, 1854, down: to Slat December, 1881, were as tollow:—

On the whole, the reau't had proved very! satisfactory indeed. ‘The payments of the Land Office were highly creditable to the

THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE ESTATES purchased by this Provine> before entering Confederation was $601,514.16, and for estates under the Land Purchase Act, 1875, $710,786.67 making a tetal of $1,312,300.83, the open accounts being over $500,009. Ir will thus be seen that the amount paid and

estates to the Province. The loss will be the interest and the cost of running the Land Office. All the moneys received from that office from the day it was opened have been used as ordinary revenue, and it is now unreasonable and absurd to demand hat those moneys be put to a different use from that of the twenty-six years already referred to. It is true that if the receipts from the Land Office had been funded from

ithe first, the present Government would

have been able to meet THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE

without expending any of the current moneys received at that Office. If this course had been adopted in the first instance, and the expenditure reduced, it would have been largely in favor of the tax payers fof this Province; but to ask the present Government to turn round and do, at this late hour, what the Opposition theniselves, and all previous Governments had refused to do, showed a great lack of sincerity on the part of hon. gentlemen opposite. When all the furds from the Laud Office are dried up, all classes of oui farmers will be owners of their lands, and will be then better able to bear the burden which, it is certain, will be found necessary to be imposed on them for revenue pur- poses. Various statements had been made with respect to

THE EXPENDITURE AND RECEIPTS

of this Province, since we entered Confed- eration; but his honor the Leader of the Government had clearly shown that the Government policy had been eminent’y successful in saving the public moneys, and shielding the people from heavy, direct tazation. They had not desired to retreuch in the expenditure for education, because if we are drifting into blue ruin, as stated by hon. members of the Oppozition, the least thing we can leave our children is the LEGACY OF A GOOD EDUCATION. In that de;artment they had not stinted the expenditure to the slightest extent; but had made more liberal provision for the education of the country than had ever before been made by any Government of this Province. He would submit a state- ment, showing the expenditure in that department from 1874, down to the close of the past year. EXPENDITURE FOR EDUCATION.

From this statement it will be seen that the preseat Government have expended an average of $30,000 per year more for Edu- cation than the average of five preceding years, although their receipts since they came into power have been $100,000 per year less than those forthe previous six years. They had not restricted the ex- penditure in that Department to the slightest extent, and it is satisfactory to know that the state of Education in this Province is vastly better thau ever before in its history. Then, again, another de- partment in which the Government have been making heavy expenditure is that of

AGRICULTURE.

Although our agricultural resources are cur chief dependence, the varions Govern. ments of this Province have paid but little attention to the encouragement of those engaged in agricultural pursuits, beyond providing for Local Exhibitions. In years gone by, a considerable sum was expended on the Stock Farm in stocking and manur- ing it; but the results were not such as might be expected. It certzinly was im- proving in fertility, and a larger quantity of stock was raised upon it year by year, but it had been sinking a considerable eum of money. The returns under the present Government show that it has been better managed than ever before. Instead cof sinking thousands of dollars it has been made self-sustaining. The following returns will show the deficits and surpluses ON THE STOCK FAKM

during the past seventeen years, from 1865

! down to the close of 1881, viz.:

crilectel. The farm is now carefully and economically managed, and has become self-sustaining. It should be a model for the farmers of this Province in more re- spects than one. If men can be persuaded that good farming will pay well, they will engage init. The Government believe it to be their duty to put good steck on the farm, and, at the same time,

TO MAKE IT Pay. This will be the best eneouragement to our farmers to adopt the highest and best modes of farming and raising stock. A Goveinment farm cannot, of course, te made to psy as well as a private one, where there is a family, every member of which takes an inter- est in the economical management of all appertaining to it. In addition to this there are of course restrictions respect- ing the sale of the etock to the effect that it inust vo to certain Counties, and rust not bs sold off the Is’and. Tlis prevents the highest piices trom being obtained for that stock. A gentleman from the neighboring Provinces was on one occesion willing to give $200 for a calf if allowed to take it away from the Province. This of course could not be done, and the avimal was afterwards sold for the benetit of one of the Counties for the sum of twenty- tive dollars. Notwithstanding the large amounts sunk upon the working of the Fatm which need .not have been suok, it will be found that it has been pro- duttive of great good. The cost of the buildings has been im all about $8,500, and the first cost of the land was $21,640. Yet the advantages recived from the Farm heve been away and beyend all the expen- Giture incurred in counection with it. At the Halifax Exhibition, last autumn, there was searcely an animal from this Province which tovx a prize that could not be traced to the Steck Farn:; and nvarly all the good stock on the Island can be traced to the same source— particularly the horned eattie. He believed the time would come when ptivate enterprize would acccomplish all tha: was necessary for the improvement of the stock of this conntry ; but, in the meantime, the Steck Farm was doing a good work. Th> Government had saved money in the working of the Farm, and vbtained greater efliciency in its general management. They had built many fine buildings upon it, and he trusted that every hon. member of the House would vistthem b fore the clise of the session, These building eu.braced all the modern improvements in good farm buildings, being modelled after those owned by the late Hon. George Brown, of Ontario. They would be found ade quate fer all the wants of the farm for many years to come, being \commodious, comfortable and suitable in all respects for the purposes required. It will now be possible largely to inerease the number of stock, and to send them out in larger batches to all parts of the Province, hastening the gcod time, when the farmers will wake Upyrne and ail, and keep only the best breeds. He boped that the Op sition would be candid enough to say that the Government had provided liberally and well for our part of

THE HALIFAX EXHIBITION.

Our people who attended it did much for the credit of the Province; but the Government led off, and not only placed money at the diep: sal of the Commissioners whom they appointed to manage the a‘fajr, but encouraged the people to take their znimals for exhibition, Our people are very apt to under-rate what they them- selves can do, and need urging to take part in such large exhibitions as the one alluded to. In fact, it was difticult to get them to believe that they could take prizes for their stock, against the larger Provinces. This was particularily the case with reference to the Moutreal Exhibition in 1880 ; but our success there encouraged the people to compete at Halifax last antumn. In almost every department where this Island became an exhibitor in horses, cattle aud sheep, it carried off prizes. We had 10 swine there; if we had we would have obtained many of the prizes. Under these circumstances the Government had a right to clain a fair share of the credit for the sucess which attended our Exhibition- a succees Which means mopey to our farm- ers. The Government had also a right to

Tt would thua be seen that the first sur- plus on the working of the farm was ob- rained in 1880, under the present Govern- ment. Last year there was a still larger sur- plus. He would here remark that the figures given above do not include the first cost of the farms, nor the cost of the new bui!d- ings. It was not the desire of the Govern- mnt to take exclusive credit to themse!ves for the improved management of the farm, on the contrary, they had received valuable assistance irom two gentiemen well kavown for their public spirit, and interest in al that pertains to our agricultural interests, Henry Longworth and Charles C.
