THE BUDGET.
i
Summary Report of Speecees Delivered | by Messrs, Yeo and Ferguson.
} ;
—_—
Mr. Yeo, in reply to the Budget speech, ‘said that the House had heard the com- ‘parisoh between the Davies Government land the present administration instituted | by the Leader of the Government for aboat the a time. He would leave the hon. members for Murray Harbor, Summersids and Georgetown, who were prominent mem- bers of the Davies Government, to anawer their present Leader. But he did not think the present Government could just y take creditfor all that they claimed. The ex- penditure in connection with the adminis- tration of justice, for instance, was an ex- pendijure which could not be controlled by the Government. for it is governed’ largely by the crime in the country, and the amount of business before the courts. Then it must be remembered that the expendi- tures for roads and bridges, ete., were very much larger in 1877 than they have been in late years. For wharves, the late Govern- ment made large expenditures, of which the present Government have been relieved, and by which they have profited; for they have actually received back again the money that their predecessors paid out. In 1878 there was spent upon wharves and breakwaters money that the present Gov- ernment have reaped the benefit of. But it is to be regretted that the wharves are being allowed to fall into ruin for the want of ateention and care. Again, for rights of way the expendityres of the late Govern- ment were larger than those of its prede- cessors. But it cannot be said that new roads and rights of way are not required by the public. In 1878 over $14,000 were ex- pended in macadamizing the highways in the vicinity of Charlottetown and Summer- side. That was an exponditure which was called for; but the present Government have expended nothing in macadamizing. The late Government also expended a large sum in the erection of the Lunatic Asylum ; in late years the present Govern- ment have had no such expenditure as that. It appears that the Leader of the Govera- ment now thinks that the Province is not much in debt; but if he really does think so, he must have changed his opinion very much since 1879. He thought the debt of the Province at that time quite alarming— a very amount indeed. But it was not so great as it is now. There is now a balance of about $112,000, and yet he seems to think that the finances of the Province are in a very flourishing condition. Early in the session certain returns were asked for which were necessary to a clear understanding of the financial position of the Province. But thess returns were for some reason held back as long as possible. One of these returus shows that very large amounts have, from time to time been due the banks, In February last there were due $9,063, in March over $14,000, in April, $47,869; in May, $63,383.76, in June, $75,- 183; in July, $44,384; in August, $55,- 882 ; in September, $60,327 ; in Oct. , $91,- 500; in November, $103,744. Still the Leader of the Government says our in- debtedness to the banks was very trifling. In January, 1886, there was due $24,988; in February, $35,749; in March, $42,290. If the Leader of the Government should re- main in power it is hard to say what his ideas of large indebtedness may be. The hon. gentleman’s estimates of expenditure for the current year are very much below the mark. Itis probable that more than $6,000 will have to be expended on account of smallpox, and there are several other items which are erroneous, It cannot be expected that $48,000 will be received from the Land Office unless the crops be very good and the prices for produce high; and the Leader of the Government is not justi- fied in putting down as revenue an eighth of a quarter of a million dollars ($125,000) which he says he expects to receive from the Dominion Government. Is that the the meaning of the resolution passed herea few days ago? It ia insulting to the in- telligence of hon, members oi this House to
any explanation.
Hon Mr. Ferevson referred to the charge of the leader of the Opposition, that the Government improperly witheld infor- mation from the House and country, and
their press, the Opposition are most desir- ous of keeping back information and mis- leading the people. The reports of the Patriot newspaper are grossly one-sided and
the public ; and as many in the Opposition Party are shareholders in the concern, and some have admitted that they are respon- sible for what their organ says, it must be presumed that its suppression of the infor- mation afforded by members and supporters ef the Government is with their consent, if not by their direction. One would think from reading the reports in the organ of the Opposition, that members and supporters of the Government said little or nothing. Very different the conduct of the press sup- porting the Government, which gives the statements and arguments of hon. members ef both sides. I+ therefore ill becomes the Leader or members of the Opposition to stand up in their places and speak of the people being mis-led by the Government.

Island, and refund to the Government of this Pres vince all moneys expende@ upon the said piers since the ist July, 1873. :
And Whereas, By the despatches laid upon the table of this House relating to the mission of the said delegation, and the negotiations now pending with the Dominion Government, there is no promise, guarantee or assurance given on the part of the latter that they will assume hereafter the improving and maintaining of said piers as
acharge upon the Dominion Government or refund this Province all or any of the money expended on the _ aforesaid
structures since this Island entered Confeder-
they rather overdid the matter, and that the Government was in some danger, they sent to its support the hon. member for Murray Harbor, the hon. junior member for Belfast, as well as several supporters in the Upper House. The people have re- cently given abundant evidence of their continued confidence in the Government, and they are not likely to turn the Govern- ment out to make way fora party whore
ation.
Therefore Resolved, That this House belfeve that in providing “‘ways and means” for the ex- penditure of the Province for the current year, the Government are not justified in depend- |
ing upon one-seventh of the revenue being raised |
from refunds from the Dominion Government for | iers, which refund the said Government have
tso fer acknowledged their liability to pay.
Yet in spite of this strong pro-) protest of the honorable gentleman the’ a money was afterwards obtained. | Notwithstanding his belief nearly | $78,000 were obtained as a refund of the money expended by the Province upon wharves and piers belonging to the Do-' minion. We have still large claims against the Dominion every whit as good as that, | which remain unsettled, arid the present, Government are not going to levy a tax’ upon the people while there is a good; prospect of obtaining the money we re- | quire in settlement of these claims.
