The apr pointment of so distinguished a statesman to that position i# an assurance that the leep interest ever evinced by our Most {rracious Sovereign in the welfare of this Dominion continues unabated; and cannot but intensify that feeling of loyalty which sso marked a characteristic of our Cana- lian people.

The advantages to be derived from the scientific and continuous | development of this industry can hardly ¢ over-estimated. Not only has there ai- | ready been a fair and encouraging return, yut also an impetus has been given to the raising of improved stock, which must eventually increase the prosperity of our farmers, and the fertility of the soil. | 8. he retnrns of the vote taken at the recent election on the great question of Prohibition show @ large majority in favor of that principle. This result cannot but be gratifying to all who have the best in- terests of our country at heart.

9. Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts the Government have heretofore made to carry on the business of this Prevince in the most economical manner, it has become apparent that the Pro- vincial revenue is at present inade- quate to defray the necessary cost of our Educational system, our Public Works and the other branches of the public ser. vice. Such being the case, a measure will be laid before you having for its ot- ject the supplementing or our revenue by | & e¥sterm of taxation so framed as to a

MOCK PARLIAMENT,

Last night’s sitting was the most inter esting of the session. Honorable D. Laird, Speaker, took the chair at eight o'clock. The Clerk, Mr. A. McNeill, read ihe journal of the previous meeting.

Mr. J. A. Macdonald, Leader of the Government, introduced a resolution to the effect that in the event of the re-enact- ment of the Canada Temperance Aci in this city on the 19th April next, being de- feated it would be advisable to enact a stringerit license law to take the place of the present “free rum” liquor Act.” Mr. Macdonald’s speech in defence of his res- olution, was well delivered in bold and unequivocal language.

Mr. Inman seconded the resolution, and as the hour had arrived for Miss Mac- Millan’s address, Mr. Weeks, Leader of the Opposition, moved the adjournment of the debate.

His Honor Mr. Speaker then introduced Miss McMillan, whtes excellent address was listened to by the large audience pre- sent with marked attention. Her theme, “Orators and Oratory,” the delivery of which occupied about three-quarters of an hour, was exceedingly well handled. Great men of ancient and modern times were re- ferred to, showing the powerful influences produced on the masses of the people by oratory. Among them such names as Grattan, Henry Ward Beecher, Burke, Philips, were splendidly portrayed. The repeated bursts of applause which greeted the address evidenced the hearty apprecia- tion of the audience.

A unanimous vote of thanks was | tendered by the assembly, appropriately | conveyed by Mr. Speaxer Laird, and } gracefully acknowledged by Miss Mac- Millan.

After thie the House resumed the de- |! bate on the resolution re High License | Law. The speakers were Mr. Macdonald, Leader of the Government, Mr. Weeks, | Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Inman, Mr. R. H. Campbell, Mr. Matheson, Mr. J. H. Good, Mr. Doull, Mr. McRae and Mr. John Whear.

The debate was well sustained on both | sides of the question up to the hour of adjournment, and then on motion ordered to be resumed at the next sitting on Tues- day evening next.

But He First Made Her Steal Thirty Thou- sand Dollars.

According to a late despatch from New York the bold operations of one of the clever and wel!-Jres-ed crowd of American confidence men who are constantly in search of victims in Europe have just come to light.

This individual has played his part so well, representing himself to be a nephew of William K. Vanderbilt, who is at pre sent with his family on the yacht Valiant cruising in the Mediterranean, that he suc- ceeded in inducing the daughter of a wealthy Vienna banker to elope with him after having talked her into robbing her tather of $30,000. The couple are now supposed to be in New York.

On Monday Jast Paul Endorf, a retired tanker of Vienna, Austria, called upon a well known lawyer in the latter city and related his mission in this country, which was to find the missing daughter. The couple he said had come to New York and he thought were going to New Orleand.

Str,—Your heading to first article re Souris matter, has been the cause of use- less correspondence. The incumbent of the Souris Methodist Church gave no

provocation to Mount Stewart afficials or |

others that he should be made the victim of anonymous correspondence. The chang-

ed relation of Souris and Mount Stewart, |

and for the best interests of all concerned, has been strongly advocated for years, and with a view to mission work among sailors and seamen. The change was made by the powers that had the sole right accord- ing to discipline. No mission has voice in dictating its boundaries according to church law. When some healthy “advance” is made beyond $270 per year tewards supporting its missionary, its claims will be considered, and until such advance is made it is the better part of valor to keep quiet.

dressed the people of Mount Stewart and he knew as well as he does today that there was a large deficit that would have

to be met by taxation or by issuing more debentures, but failed to take the people inte his confidence, preferring na doubt, a

The steamer City of Pekin arrived at San Francisco a few days ago from Hong Kong and Yokohama, bringing news of a plot to kill the King of Corea and his min- isters. As already mentioned in a brief despatch from Yokohama, the conspira- tors had prepared to destroy the central government office in Corea on New Year’s Day, February 6, when the King and min- isters would appear there in state, but before they could carry out their de- signs they were betrayed by one of their number. The Government succeed- ed in arresting 27 of the conspirators. Ac- cording to their confessions, a3 soon as they set to work over 1,000 others were to have risen on all sides and assisted them in overthrowing the government. As the confestion may implicate high personages, it has been proposed to put the 25 men to death at once, and expose their heads to public view. It is ramored that the Jap- aneze government were at the bottom of the conspiracy, and that the Japancse government promised to lend two iron- clads to the conspirators. The conspira- tors were sentenced to death February 23rd, but owing to considerable difference of opinion among the judiciary, the sen- tence was rescinded and the men will be retried.

THE BUDGET SPEECH

SPLENDID RECORD OF RECENT YEARS.

a

‘The National Policy Ad hered To

} a | SOME REDUCTION MADE IN DUTIES. i Ortawa, Mar. 28.

| Hon. Mr. Foster, Minister of Finance, was very warmly received yesterday after- noon on rising to make the budget state

meat... He began by pointing out that the gross revenue amounted to $38,000,000— ' $165,608 more than the amount estimated, and $1,246,737 more than the revenue of last year. The House would note the re- markable fact that, during the years 1892 and 1893, the recuperative powers exhi- bited by Canada were in marked contrast with ihe history of Great Britain and the other great nations. These other coun- tries had, during these years, experienced exceedingly great depressions and a falling off of both imports and exports. The figures he had quoted showed marked in- creases in the importation of raw materi- als for the working up of the different in- | dustries of Canada. The returns showed | an increase of trade in imports and ex-

ports, and revenue had increased by } $1,250,000 over the year 1891-92. At the }

same time the rate of taxation had fallen per.cent in 1889-90 to 17-38 (Cheers).

| from 21-22 | per cent in the past year.

He looked for a decrease in revenue this | year, for the rearon that there was a gen- | eral apprehension in the country that there | was going to be a change in the tariff con- | ditions. This apprehension had cansed | prudent men to keep baek their expendi- tures. They were at the same time feeling the dying end of the commercial disturb- ances of other countries. This, he believ- ed, would be brief. He did not anticipate for the year ending June 30th, 1894, any more revenue than $36,500,000 or $36,- 750,000. Under normal expenditures, this would leave them with a deficit. But the Government had come to the conclusion that with the co-operation of the House they would cut down the expenditures to meet the income, so that they would not meet the unwelcome visitor which so often made its appearance in the face of Sir Richard Cartwright during his time of office. (Laughter and cheere.) Any prudent business man and any prudent house-keeper would take the course which he proposed. In national house-keeping it ought to be the same.

Mr. Foster then dealt with the savings of the people, and showed that on the 28th day of February, 1894, there were in the various banks, Government and othber- wise, the sum of $242,645,358, or the sum of nearly $50 per head of tbe population of the country. (Cheers.) In 1878 tle savings of the people were only about $87,000,900. He gave tl e:e figur-stoshow the increase that had taken place. He defended the National Policy tariff at con. siderable length, pointing ont how, under it, the country had pragpered and industry become diversitied and renumerative. He repudiated the idea that the Government had any intention of abandoning the policy of protection. On the contrary, it is ir- tended to stand firmly by it, as the only true tariff policy. He continued speaking in the support of the tariff protection up to six o’clock, making whet is universally regarded here as one of the finest speeches | ever delivered in the Canadian House of Commons. ‘ | As to the tariff, there is no change in | the duties on molasses and spirits. Raw sugar upto No. 16, Dutch etandard, is made free, as in the United States. It was before up to No. 14 only. The duty on refined sugar is reduced from 8-10 of a cent to 6-10 cents per lb., a reduction of alout 20 per cent. Mowing machines, self-binders, harvesters, etc., 20 per cent. advalorem. The old duty was 35 per cent. Barbed wire fencing of iron or steel, qcts per pound. The old duty was 1} cts per pound. The duties on coal and kero- sene oils are unchanged. Barrels, con- taining petroleum or its products or any mixtures of which petrolecm forms a part, when such contents are chargeable with a specific duty, 20 cents each. The old duty was 40 cents each.

Fertilizers, compounded or manufac- tured, new, 10 per cent. advalorem. The old duty was 20 yer cent. Animals, agri- | ciltural and animal. products, animals living, new, N. E. S., 20 per cent ad- valorem. The oid duty on cattle and sheep was 30 percent. Other N. E. 8S. 20 per cent. Meats, new, N. E. 3., in- | cluding canned meats, 25 per cent. ad- valorem, Old mess pork, lle.; other, 3c. Lard and cottolene, new, 25 per cent. ad- valorem; old, lard, 3c., cottolene, 2 per cent. Oils, coal and kerosene, unchanged.

Farm and freight waggons, carts, drays and similar vehicles, new, 25 per cent. ad valorem; buggies and carriages, including children’s carriages, 35 per cent. ad val- orem.

The tariff changes are so numerous that | your correspcn'ent will not attempt to | state them in this despatch,
