But Mr. Peters has not. apparently gain- ed wisdom by their experience. Though entir ly destiute of their virtues and their sympathy with the people, he is imitating their mistakes In tw» succeeding years, he has piled up deficits, and propuses again to have another deficit.

It was proposed to iske away the electoral righs of a portion f the Province.

But was there a debt of $171,931 on the 4th April, 1891, as stated by the Laader of the Government? There was not. The re- port of Messrs Chalmers and Davison did not show that there was a debt of $171,931. sithough the Leader said it did. It showed that the liabilities of the Province on that date were $171,931, and not that the debt amounted to thar -um, Everyone koows tht there is a great differ2nce between the debt and the liabil ity of the Province Their report shows that the actnal debt of the Province at that rime was only $102,900 Nuw how did the Government go abont prying «ff the debt ?

Peters should gain the election, then there will be taxation. In avy case he will not care much forthe pecp'e. He imposed a debenture debt, and rifled the Land Office, and changed the constitution of the country, and gerrymandered King’s County and disfranchised the Dominion: fh sials —all without the slightest reference tothe people; and he will not, we may reasonably argue, consult the wishes of the people in respect to either the sixe or form of the tax which will be requited.

We have to congratulite Mr. Bontley upon the excellence of his first speech in reply to the budget. It was clear, trench- and and cofvincing—worthy of the high position to which he hes recently been call- ed. Mr. Bentley possesses th’s advantage over his redoubtable opponent: he is in close touch with the people.

We are yet but young in deeds,” Incidentally Mr. Gordon said that the Leader of the Government had ridiculed

and misrepresented Goorgetown—and ignored his own friends there, having

referred to the L beral-Conservative vote as the whole vote vf the constituency, and he conclud:d by declaring that Dominion effi-

cials are gen'l-+mea whom the G verament are going to place upon the same political p! ne as paupers.

Mr. Arsenault, Mr. Matheson, Mr. Rogers and other speakers followed, and progress was rerorted. House took recess alter the Premier had begun his Budget

Speech. THE BUDGET.

After recess, Hon. Mr. Peters resumed the debate on ths motion to go into sup- ply. He reviewed at great length the fin- ancial records of the late adminis‘ rations, and labored hard to take from them the credit of successfully pressing our claims uponthe authorities at Octawa. He charg- ed the late Government with continuing the Tax Act until 1832, in the face of their promise to repeal it, and said they had ne- elected and starved the public works of the Peovince. He referred als» to the rep rt of Messrs, Chalmers and Davisen, and cl.imed that their report showed the debt of the Province when his G vernment came into power to ba $171,931. The present Government thought « change shou'd be

be made, and that this debt should be wiped out ; that revenue and. expendi'ure should be made to meet. The late gov ernments were paying 6 per cent. interest to the banks. We thought we could bor-

s3 revorted by the Commission eron D c. 31, 1892, was $324,889 67; the amount reduced by eoli-ctions and discounts, $136,786.61. The 96h collected in the two years, 189192, was $116,7702%; and the Ivss by discounts and otherwise was $20,

016.33! The amount actualy sunk in dise counts and collections in 189/-92 wos $136,

786.68. ‘The amoun* which should bo used as urdinary revenue was $33 64191 The »mouunt of capital used in 1891-92 was $103,144 70. The Leader also promised that he would abate the exodus, But the ouly effort he put forth io this direction was the establishment of bun socials in nis own district! Again he promia- ed that the Scott Act would be carefally en- forced, But the Public Accounts do not show that a single Scott Act tine has bean gollected during the past year! The Governmeat also made great promises as to what they would do for agri

culture. They promised to asaisé in the est«tlishmout of dairying association, ard ro p ovide a travelling dairy. Neither of these promises had been fulfilled. The steck on the Stock Farm is, ou the whols, inferior to what it was when the late Gov- eroment left office. There are fewer p gs and horses, and the cattle are not 80 good

Again, the leader promised to make revenue and expenditure almost meet. The result was 4 deficit list year of $37,000! He wis «stray in his estimates to the tune of $35,- 000! Then, again, he also p:omised to put another steamer on the Southport ferry, but did not do so. Now, however, tha> there is an election coming on we are hear- ing about it again, Why was not this steamer provided last year when she might easily have been procured, and put on the roure. So mach for the promises made by the Loader last year. He did not keep his premises then, and we have little faith in his keeping those he makes this year. The Leader ytells us also that the late G »vernment kept the Tax Act in force until 1882, after they had promised to repeal it. This statement was net correct. The Tax Act was repealed in 1841! The Act was continued in force until the enormous deficit left by th» Davies Guvernment was paiicff In 1873, at the time the terms of Confederation were under discussion, Mr. L. H. Divies prepared a statement to the etfect that under Confederation the expendi

ture of this Province would not he over $206,900 a year, and the revenue $222 000 —leaving a surplus in favor of the Province of $16 900! Aoother statement prepared about the syme time by Mr. Laird, who is given so much credit to-night, eatimates the

went on to point out the manner in which contracts had been let and carried out, instancing several cases where contracts had been let for certain sums, and before the work was completed they cost hundreds of dollars more than the amount of the con- tract. The oppostion had asked the Commissioner of Public Works for infor- mation concerning many of these contracts, but it had not been brought down. Until such time as this information was forth

coming, we would have to hold the head of the department responsible for the peculiar trensactions of the past year. Now let us take a look at some of the items in the estimates for this year. Tae sum set down for the administration of justice is $14 587, something less than last year. If anything can be saved in this department, well and good. But we should not economise in the wrong place He noticed that the salaries of the Keepers of jthe Jails im King’s County and Prince County were ‘o be again reduced. The estimate for edu- extion was $114,400. Theré™Was nod saving there. The eaiary of the Chief Superinten

dent of Eaucation was to be $1.200 this year. Last year they reduced his galary to $1,000, contrary to the wishes of the Oppo- sition, and this year he was pleased ta see that they were going to put it back to is former figure. The salary of the Clerk to the Superintendent was also reduced last year, and he was sorry to see that there was no provision for an inerease in his case. This was fuot right. Mr. McNeill is a mst efficient officer, and his salary should have been put back to its original figure as well as the salary of the superin- tendent. He thought that the esiimate for the Public Lids offices should inc!ude half ths salary of the commissioner, which it did not. ‘There waa nething in the es- rtumates fur Government House this year, although last year the Government could not do too much in that direction.

A very peculiar estimate was that of $1000 for Paris green. What were the Goverument going tu d» with it? They were disfranchising the young men and the Dominion «fficials and perhxps the Pari

secure votes Then there was the $18,000

for a new steamer for ths Southport ferry. |
