Continuation of the Bud- get Debate

ABLE SPEECHES OF MESSRS MC. KINNON AND PROWSE. Finances of the Province, the Pineau Case and Other Matters

Considered.

Tvespay, May 29.

The debate on the budget was continued by Mr. M. McKinnon. Mr. McKinnon said that in delivering the budget the Premier made the best ofa bad case, apart from some ridiculous statements that would not bear the light. The Pre- mier was croas with the Opposition and the Opposition press. They no doubt are an annoyance to him; but they are here and can answer for themselves. He was aleo cross with a gentleman whois now absent from the Provice,Mr. Marshall, Mr. Marshall came here a gentleman, acted the gentlemar while here and left with a good reputation ; his only fault im the eyes of the Premier is that he isa temperance advocate. The leader of the Goverrment formerly courted thelcompany of rich men, but now they are not agrees able to him ; they remind him that he was Once & temperance advocate, that he drop- ped?his temperance principles for politica, that be fastened a license law upon the city contrary to the wishes of the temper-~ ance people. Mr Marshall, the Premier gays, left the country for the countrr’s good, but the Leader left the country for his own good, as shown by the Auditor’s Report. We formerly beard of delegations costiog $8 perday, but the delegation of the present day cost from $20 to $38. The Leader of the Government spent much time ab utaoout Mr Wise. But that was a matier between bim and his former col- league The scenes were disgraceful, it is true, but it was their own quarrel, a quar- re! with which this side of the House bad nothing todo. The Auditor’s Report for tbe past year tries to make it appear that there is a surolus when.there i3 ino reality a deficit of $36,0°0. It e#lso anows that the Leader’s statements Jast session were incorrect. On that uccasien he eaid : **W boever will live till the close of the year willsee that the debt will not be increased one dollar.” The bye-elections show that ‘the Government lost the confideace of the people. They voted them out of power, but owing to the action of the junior member for Tignieh they are sill able to carry on the Gov. ernment. The action of that gentleman is not explained, and until some explana- tion is given this Hou-e he is under sus- picion. Itis believed in the country thas dishonesty has beea admitted by the mem- bers of this House, and we sbouli hear from the members of the Government ox from the member for [ignish. The debt, according to the Premier’s report, is $500,688. Of this amount be charged $128 000 tg the Conserva.- tive Goveroment. It is pleasing to know that he dropped the incorrect assertion that they owed $171 000. Of tuis amouat the Journal of 1879 will how that $51,740 was lef: sy the Davies Government. He did vot wish io take up time with comparisons, but the following would show the burdens of the people under both Governments :—

Debt at present according to thr Premier’s statem-nt..... 5046 634 BRIIOE ikeeds +s cecees 372.259 Ye@rly increase..... « 41,502

While tue Conservative party epent money and had deficits they provided for this expenditure. The Liberals spent money and had large deficits but made vo provision forthe expenditure, thus leavin: a large debt on the province, The debt per head of the population, ac- cording to the Premier, is $4.59; the debt per head when bis party came into power was $1.17. The debt per family is now $2295; in 1890 it was $4.68, This is an alarming increase. In refer. ence to the Asylum the Premier’s remarks

are not eatisfactorv. The want of ac

| commodation im thatinstitution was prom- _inently before this House durisg previous | Sessions. But the Goyernment disregard. 'ed the representations made by this side : Of the House. They disregarded tue res ) quest of the Medical Swperintendant. They bad no regard for the comfort or conveni« ence of the attendants orthe welfare of the patients until they were forced by public opinion through the Grand Jury ard otherwise not only toerect a new wing but to appoint a commission to inveetigate into all matters in connection with that institution, We have the report of that commission. That commission was ap- pointed by the man who was’prepared to do for theGrand Jury what they were ap- pointed to do, and when he would under- take to guide them what would he do with & commission of three whom heappointed? The Premier at least exercised caution in

making appointments; he appointed Mr.

Rogers, an old political friend, Mr. Mc-~

eT TTT

Eachern, another Liberal, and Dr. Conroy, s Conservative. In counection with the

last appointment he was disposed tousk was

there another gentleman in the province

capable of filling the position without ap-

pointing a man who held office under the

Dominion Liberal Government? Dr. Conroy is a gentleman for whom he (Mr.

McKinnon) had much respect, and he did

not mean to say that he would depart oae

hair’s breadth from his duty. But in

justice to himself he should have declined

the appointment. Having appointed & commission to his liking,they proceeded to take evidence with the Hon, Leader of the Government standing over the witnesses, whose appointment was in hie hand, If they gave an impartial evidence they are the best witnesses that ever took tbe stand in so far as the Leader stood beside them. T° a certain extent he defeated ithe aim of the commission, Some of the witnesses who were sent for were telepbon- ed ta keep out of the way; others who could give evidence were not sent for. Butenough evidence was given tu show the deplorable state of affaira and to fast- en iton the proper shoulders. When the evidence was all in the commissioners did not proceed to write ther report but they met six months after, and, without tbe evidence, proceeded to make their report. They could not remember the evidence sufficiently well to make a proper report. They were denied the opportunity of mak

ing ® report; they were denied the ma- terial to write their report from,and should have said so and-not made any report uuder such circumstances. The report, —the most essential part of which wae missing-—exonerated the Medical Superin- tendent and all the atteadants from any blame in connection with the mismanage. ment of the Asylum and fastened it on the shoulders of the Trustees. The repert, after pointing to the negiect of all matters tbat came under the super

vision of the trustees,*referred them to ti.e clauses of the act in which their duties were plainly laid down and recommen ied that those duties be strictly adhered to, There are many things that are not in the report and it differs materially trom the report of the commisvion of 1882. In 1882 a full report of the evidence ac- Companies the commissioner, report; at present that evidence, tor reasous better kvown totbe Goverument, is supreased. Toe c¢ mnieaion failed to inquire iuto the report tbat politics entered iste the man-< agement and the supplying of toat iostitu~ tion, which is t»o well founded. It failed to inquire iuto the supplying of that inat- tutiou by J. A. Farqunargoo & Cv. Tae Leader read a sta'ement signed by Mr. McPhail aud another by the keeper of he} pocr house. Bet these men are not the men responsible. We want the report of the tru: tees.

Mr. A. P. Prowse in rising to off-r a few remarks on the sulject before the House said he wished to refer to come statements made by the Premier. Lart evening, saa Mr. Prowse, we listened to a very long -peecb, aod statements were made which he presumed were suited to the ear of the Liberal members. At the com- mencemenut of the rule under Liberal Government, on the 24tb April, 1891, they (the Liberals) used a statement which be claimed was a@ misrepresentation of the facts. He referred to the itens of $171, v00 claimed by the Liberals as the debt of ibis province when the Couservatives wentout of power. He (Mr. Prowse) thought ne conld prove from the public records that that sétatement was a wisrepresentation. We fiud that the Liberals duringthe year 1891 ex- pended $30,000 in excess of their receipts. [If we add this $30,000 to the $171,000 tbe amouvt of dett av the end of the year 1891 would be $201,000 if the Liberal contention was correct. Now we tind by the public accounts for the year 1891 that on December 3l-t of that yearthne debt wae not $201,000 but $128,000—a diffar- ence of $43,000. This shows that they

misrepresented the indebtedness of the province when they, the Liberal*, assumed control; Mr. Prowse

then “referred to the deficits for several years, quoting the amounts for thed fferent veara, These deficits amounted to $373,- 000 during tae nine years, bringing our indebtedness up tu the end of the year to $500,688 by their own statemente. To this way be added ur fiaished contracts amounting to $42,000, one quart+r teach~ ers’ salary unpaid, stout $36,000, besides

buodrede, possibly ‘hoarards, of dollars spent in Murray Har- bor and Pelfast ig Decem~« ber last, while the elections were going on aud for which we have no returns, the eupervisor’s returns

being only made up tv Nev. 3@th Iast. Mr. Prowse then referred to the stucement made by the Premier that the Opyosition were weighed ia the balance ang found wanting, He thovght that it was the Government of today that hold an unten able position, It is they who sre weighed in the balance and foand wantirg The New London Dietrict weighed them in ihe balauce, and they were found wanting; the Som merside District weighed them in the belance aud fouad them wanting; the Tignich District weighed them in the balance and found them wanting. The Murray Harbor and Belfast Diatrict also weighed themin the balance and found ‘bem wanting, noiwwithstanding the das- tardly threat tha’ was used in order to prevent the electors of those districts from exercis ng their franchise as they chose themeelves. Mr. Prowse believed we have} a dithouest Government and Party. Mr. Pineau, the member for the lst District of Prince County was nomicated by the regularly constituted convention of the Liberal~Conservative party to oppose the. Farquharson Government. He accepted the nomination in apparent good faith; he afterwards attended the Coase vative Con

ference held in Cherivttetown on {jhe 26th January last, and was there appointed to and accepted the responsible position of Convener forhis district. As Convener he called several meetings of the Conser- | vstive perty in his district, but before j

tose meetings were held he left the Island

for O\tawa where be is known to have been in close snd confilectial intercourse with Liberal members of the House of Commons, and while there had his letters very kindly franked by Mr. MeLejlan, M. P, for West Prince. What took place up to that time to justify the member for Tignith in deserting bia party and turn- ing traitor to those who voted for him? What stronger circumstantial evidence could there be of his bavivg sold himeelf for a consideration ? Hisown admission of his venality would be no stronger proof inasmuch as insanity might with some ehow of reason be set up az a defence. Tbat tbe member for Tignish bas received the price for which, according to the cir- cumstantial evidence, he sold bimeelf and betrayed hie constituents, we have every reason to believe, Every one knows he was in very straitened circum- Stances oOWing to having been very recentiy placed at the mercy of the Sheritf by some of his present Grit friends. While the Sheriff weotio at one door corruption under the guise of relief enter

ed the other. A little later his finances appear to have very much improved. He would take a trip to the United States and from there remit considerable sums to his familv which be could not possibly have saved from his earningsduring the few chort weeks be was away from home, Fortunately this nefarious transaction iz without a parajlel in this Dominion. The member for Tignish, has, according to all the strongest circumstantial evidence, made a name for himself that will go down to posterity as a fit companion for Judas Iscariot, with the difference that when Judas saw the enormity of his crime he threw from him the thirty pieces of silver, while the member for Tignish, Mr. Pineau, is still to all appearances enjay- ing and living on the price of nis manhood to say nothing of honor to which he ap

pears to be an entire stranger. Some of the men who have been wore or less mixed up with this atrocious politics] wickedness may consider these strictures as unvecessarily severe, and so far as having auy good effect on the individual

referred to they may be, as he (Mr. Prowse) had uo hope of hia repentance or reformation. But itis to be hoped that the degraded position now occupied by the member for Tignish may act ae a warn-

ng to any who may be éeimilarly tempted,

While he regretted having to make sucy

(to keep him ant his assoc’ates in power)

strong statements he must say that he believed there are worse men than the member for Tigoish. He was tempted and yielled ; but what must be said of che Premier of this province and his col- leagues in the government who are holding on to the sweets of offize in conse~ quence of th:= diegracefully corrupt tran

saction? Does not the Premier kaow and feel that he |. today occupying a position to which be 1 notby lawor equity en- tiled? He +lieved from all the evidence | that he bas «+t only been direcily conceran- ed intamper.s with a member of parlia- meut ing m. ner unparalleled in this or any cthercouvary, (the securing of the vole of the «vember for Tignish in this parliament wuld not of itself be sufficient

but he had iv stoop to poiiical ch canery and deception and thereby deprived tie West River District ot ics prop-r represen- tarion in this House. ‘This he (Mr. Far-
