Follewing is the official report of the speech, on the question of supply, deliver- ed by P. Blake, Esq., member for the city, in the House of Assembly, Charlottetown, on April 18th last:
Mr. Biake.—I su that the House is now almost tired of to long speeches an the motion now before it; but as this isa very important question, I would not be doing my duty if l remained silent. Hon. gentle- men on the other side of the House have found great fault with the present mode of conducting the public business, and complain very much on account of the indebtedness which now exists, amounting, they say, to about $200,000, Well, I confess that I ex- tremely regret we have so large an indebted- ness, and must say that I would not like to see it continued in future. The rolling up of deficits from year to year is a very mode of doing business in private establishments, and the same principle will y to the pub- lic business of the Province. i am, therefore, of opinion that a change should be made by the Government in their present financiai Polley. I take the ground that deficits should not exist in the transaction of either privet or public business. But altheagh ault has been found with the Government on that score, not 4 si

sufficient sum will be received from the Federal Government to pay ff all the present indebtedness of the country ; but whether it will be drawn
from capital or from amounts due in payment of the claims of this Province 1 do not know, as I am not in the secrets of the Government. But I think the present indebtedness should be paid off, and that in future we should have aclean sheet without any further de- fieits, year after year. I shall now endeavor to show the cause for that indebtedness of $200,000. When the hon. member for West River made a comparison between the expen- diture for two years under the Davies Gov- ernment, and the expenditure for two years under the present administration, he showed that large sums had been expended by the former in some departments of the public ser- vice, and that comparatively smal] sums had been expended in those departments by the latter, Well, it is quite true that the Davies Government did expend «aormous sums, in- stead of economizing as uld have done. But the hon. member failed to make a comparison of the sums expended by the t~v Governments for education, Now, f am going to show that the increase in the expen- diture for edueatep geder the present Gov- ernment will -=**" ~*

the whole of the present indebtedness of the Province. In 1877 and 1878, the expenditure upon education by the Davies Government was as follows:

wer. It has often “been said that figures cannot lie; but 1 think that by. more thanone hon, gentleman opposite they have been made to lic, or at least to do duty in the way of misleading. It is clear that figures can be made to tell any story which they are required to tell. Hon. mem- bers of the Opposition declare the balance against the Province to be $236,000. That statement is considerably over the mark. I believe that there is a real indebtedness of about $191,000. A good deal of disputing has taken place respecting the statement that only three quarters salary were paid the teachers in the year 1878, and that the remain- ing quarter should be added to the admitted deticit of the year, As the present Govern- ment have paid four full quarters salary to the teachers during each year since they came into power, it would be manifestly unfair to charge them with any further amount under that head. But I believe that unpaid accounts were carried forward at the close of the pst year, amounting to $7,000 or $8,000, which, added to the sum just stated, makes « total of about $190.000 indebtedaess on the Jist De- cember last. That the present Government are chargeable with an indebteduess of about $200,000, 1, as one member of this House, deeply regret. Itaink I shall, however, be- tore I sit down, show clearly the causes of that indebtedness. Hon. members of the Opposition differ very widely in their state-
Ottawa, some placing it at. one sum, and others at another. to have made a different calculation. There is one fact, however, that cannot be contro- verted, and that is, it makes very little differ- ence as to what amount is capitalized at Ottawa, so long as we receive a
SUFFICIENT SUM
trom that source to meet the Ye pgp of the public service. I find that last year we received trom the Federal Government the sum of $183,537.20. This year we shall re- ceive about $193,000, or some $35,000 over and above the amount received from that source by the Davies Government. If we capitalize that $35,000, we shall find that it represents a capital sum of $700,000. This shows the real increase of our capital at Ottawa since the present Government came into power. ‘That certainly shows a very satisfactory state of affairs in that quarter. I cannot, therefore, see how we can be in a werse position, financially, than when the

RECEIVING AN EQUIVALENT
for the large amount now being expended on education. When the present Government attempted, last session, to cut down the ex- penditure in the smallest degree, they were accused of interfering with the efficiency of our educational system. In fact, they have never amended the Education Act to the slightest extent without being accused of a similar intention. But it is clearly seen that they have carried out the Educ..tion Act in its integrity, and improved it, and that while doing so they have expended annually the sum of $29,012.47 more than their predeces- sors for educational purposes. This was an expenditure, as I before stated, entirely beyond their control, and amounted in the aggregate to $261,112.23 over and above the average expenditure of ‘the Davies Goverr- ment. In addition to that very large amount, there was another uncontrollable expenditure, viz., that for the maintenance of the Hospital for the Ins*ne. The present Government have expended on that institution annually the sum of $6,882.40 over and above the amount expended upon it by the Davies Gov- ernment, or a total in eight years of $55,059.20. Addthis amount tothe extra sum expended on education and we have @
ments respecting the amount of our capital at! total of $316,171.43 for those two branches of
ithe public service. I think I have clearly
Every one of them seems shown the cause of the indebtedness of the
present Government, and that it has not ac- crued through any mismanagement on their part. ’
THE TOTAL EXPENDITURE of the Davies Government in 1877 and 1878 was as follows, viz.:—

But during their term of office they took out
of the pockets of the peuple in direct taxation
nearly $98,000, or.a yearly average sum of
$19,000. ‘hey went outef powerin 1879
with a deficit of about $70,000. According to
{the Auditor’s statement in the public ac- | counts, their deficit was nearly $22,000, but they left unpaid accounts amounting to
$51,000, making a total of over $70,000, Mr. Farquharsun.—ihe hon. member
performed on the public roads by the people.
Mr. Blake—I showed that the Davies (ov- ernment expended annually an average sum of $357,881.71 while they were in power, and that they went out of power with a deficit of over $70,000. If the Davies Government had remained in power and had continued the
licy inaugurated by them in 1877 and 1878, instead of having “an indebtedness of $200,- 000 as we now have, they would have an in- debtedness of over $900,000 at the close of the last year. The hon. member for West River claimed that the Davies Government expend- ed much larger sums of money than those which had been expended under the present Government; I freely grant that thoy did; but they took the money from the pockets of the people in the way of taxes for that purpose.
