MR, A. J. MACDONALD RE- VIEWS THE SITUATION. Pinena’s Letter . Ruled. Out—The Breaking of Mr. Birch's Desk.

Tavsspar, May 31.

Mr. Birch rose to # question of privi- lege: He pointed out that last evening, between six and seven o’clock, his desk in the House had been broken open. There were some ‘important papers in his pos< session but he fortunately had these in his pocket instead of in his desk. He dey manded that’s prompt and thorough in- vestigation into the matter be held. Hon.Mr. Farquharson said ‘he regretted the eccurrence and promised that the matter would be looked into later on, Hon. Mr. Gordon, Mr. Shaw, Mr. A, J, Macdonald and Mr. A. A. McLeen de-

vestigation. The latter gentleman moved for a commmittee of privileges to hold a sworn investigation at oace, but the motion was voted down by the Gor- ernment,

Hon. Mr. Farquharson submitted a bill amesding the Income Tax Act. Second reading tosmorrow.

At the afternoon session Mr. A.A. Mex Lean continued his remarks on the bud« get. Heasked why it was that the plan and specification regarding the Hille« borough bridge asked forseveral days ago had not been te bled,and intimated that the Government had suppressed them. He also complained that the bank statement asked for some deys ago had net been submitted. Bat although this in- formation waa not forthcoming be (Mr. McLean) waa able to give an approximate idea of the indebtedness of the province. Thies is the statement :—

a ee

$113,000.40

Eerimated balance due Banks on 25th May, 1990....06.+<000$159,487.07

This does not includethe amount dune on Debentures Sinking Fund account whicb the Government has used to reduc- the balance at the banks.

Mr. McLean stated that when the Gov-

erome™t got over their scare and produced the bank statement the Hcuse would find that the above was about correct. When the purchasers of the debentures ascertain the true state of affairs the credit of the country will be los!. I'hey vay they have $15,000 of a sinking fund. But they should have $30,000 if the interest was added. They had no right to take this mouey out ofthe bank to pay off the dett. There is actually only $4,090 to meet the $185,000 of debentures. They have taken money held in trust and used it for ordinary purposes. They are not allowed to put this money on call ia the bank. What if the Vice-Chancellor or Master of the Rolis should call for this money ? At this juncture the Premier eubmitted the plan of the Hillsborouga oridge. He said there was no specification to bring down ; no specification was prepared or signed.

Mr. McLean thought the position wae a hamilating one for the Leader and the Commissivner of Puvlie Works to be in. These men Sigued a contract witho -t huy- ing @ Specification to guide them ; thev gave away $9,750 a year of the people’s money for all time tocome without ever seeing @ specification They eppro .d of a Specification which they had uever seen ; they put the great seal of the province on a falsehood. There is nothing to show what kind of a bridge that is to be built. For aught we kuow there may be as much brass about it asthere js about the way it was obtained. Mr. Blair had evidently got the better ot the Premier and Attorney General in this matter. The House met with thirteen members on each side. The Government 1s vow holding on to power by the support of the hon. member for Tig- wisn, In this connection the Speaker yes- terday refused to permit the reading of the letter sent from Ottawa by Mr. Pineau. He asked the Speaker to reconei ler his decision ou this point. ~ _The Speaker suid he has already given his decivion. Mr McLean could appeal from that decision to the House.

Mr. McLean said he proposed to Tread from Bourinot to show tbat bis course was right.

Hon. Mr. pesasharion said that if the members of the House who objected to the cpakere raling were allowed to act as

r. McLean was acting there was no knowing when the session would end.

Mr. McLean asked whose fault it was that the work was being delayed. The Opposition asked for pspers and did not

the plan of the bridge, pointing out that it was not signed and might therefore not be genuine. Besides, said he, this plan is an old one.

Mr. Peters eaid that if Mr. McLean would read the contract he would see that the plan and specifications were on file with the Department of Railways and Canale, Oitawa.

Mr. Shaw pointed out that the premier afew moments ago said thata specifica- tion had not been prepared. Who is telling the truth ?

Mr. Campbell thought there should be @ copy of the plan and specification here.

Mr. McLesn, resumiag his remarks, returned to tbe Pineau matterand pro- ceeded to quote from Bourinot to show that he shouid be allowed to read the let- ter written at Ottawa by that hon. mem. ber.

The Speaker interrupted him and said he decided that poiot yesterday.

Mr. McLean said that the inestimable rightiof free speech snould not be taken trom the people by this Parliament. The freest discussiva should be allowed. He was there to eay wha: he believed to be right, and what his constituents sent him there to say. He claimed that the House should not go into committee of supply because there was a member sitting in the House who had no right to be there.

Cries of ‘‘ chair,” “ chair ” followed, and the Speaker proceeded to quote from

May to sustaio his rulings. Tne rules of the House must be obeyed.

Mr. McLean asked who was violating the rules ot the House? He had always

obeyed therules to the letter. Tobe eure he differed from the Speaker attimes, Ic is

the right of British eulj-cts to bave free-

dom of speech. He migit tell many things

that were in the letter if he was so disposed.

| a petition asking Mr. Pineau to resign. But he would not doso. Thank heaven there was a free prese and through that medium he could get the letters and docu- ments to the public. Through the press the facts of the case can be made plain, It would be shown by Pineau’s own

* the House, and that he was not entitled to the confidence of any members of the House or any man in Canada.

Mr. A.J. Macdonald followed Mr. Mc- Lean referring first to the system of central exhibitions in Charlottetawn. He anid that while they may be of great benefit to Charlottetown and to a few specialists they were not of much general benefit and of little orno use to those farmers who most needed them. The couaty exhibitions were needed,and be hoped the government would give a grant to keep them up. He was surprised that On the Government side except the Leader hadspoken on the budget. He thought it a serious matter if the Public Accounts did not show the true positien of the country’s finances. He contended that it was the Auditor’s duty to seeto this, When a Government loses the confidence of the people it should re~ sign. He believed there was great dis- satisfaction in town and country and the people were opposed to the Government. The bye elections showed this. When an election is held the Governmeat would be so completely swept away that there wou'd be no eeneiine and that would not be in the interest of the coun- try. A good strong opposition is neces» sary. The'eadsr in his budget made several com, afiions and boasted that our debt per cap.t@ was much less than that of the other provinces, But formerly it vas the boast of this province that we had

letters that he had no right to @ seat in {

aecording to Davison and Chalmers, was all we were livbie for. All the interest bearing capital we had at Ottawa to avoid direct taxation has been ewept away by the Liberals. In regard to the withdrawal from capital of $200,000 by the Coaservatives he (Mr. Macdonald said they did right and one reealtof that withdrawal was the placing of $20,000 per annum to our yearly in-

come which has ia the 13 years that have since passed ad-d ed $260,000 to our assets,

The Liberals came io with a promise to make revenue and expenditure meet, but even after putting on a direct taxation they failed to do so. In the past he op- pored the aboiition of the Legislative

Counci!. Time has proved thet act a deplorable failure, The Island is in a | Worse financial position to-day fthan ever before. The Legisiative

Council would have been some check on the extravagant expenditurss. He then referred to the report of the Asylum Com- mission and held the irustees responsible for the state of affairs which obtained in that institution, Speaking of the proposed establishment of a Department of Agriculiure he thought there was no member of the Government com- petent to take charge of that department. He rather doubted whether the people were yet prepared for steel bridge build- ing. The roads and bridges between Charlottetown and Georgetown had not he believed been in as bad condition during the past quarter of acentury. Hethen referred to the Interess account and taxatiou aod said in | the event of a failure of the crops the |

people would leave this country by thous- ande,
