Opinion Concerning the Tariff.
GOVERNMENT
Orrawa, April 30.—The Government Wasasked a nu:nber of questions relating to the application of the preferential tariff. The ministers tried to keep Foster Ives MeNeill, McLean and other questioners down on points of order, But, in the course of au hour of confused conflict on rules of the House and other matters, the following etatements were elicited: (1) The controller has not yet decided whether Belgium or Germany or other countries have a sufficiently low tariff to be entitled to preferential treatment: (2) the Govero- ment has not yet decided that any British colony is entitled tothe lower ecale of duty,—only the British Islands are yet included in the lower (schedule.
Mr. Paterson promised information so a astothe proof of the British origin ut goods entitled to preference.
Rev. Mr. Douglass afterwards took up the tariff discussion from the North- west standpoint. He eaid that he was diseappointed at the failure of the Govern- ment to carry out its promises. But he regarded the bill as a notice to manufac- turers of the abolition of their protection at some future time.
Mr. Clarke Wallace followed and after remarking that the present government did not come into power on the tariff ques- tion but on the scheol question, said that they had made tariff promises which they had broken. One thing they proposed to do was to abolish the duties on raw material. But they had not made a single article free inthat clase. On the contrary they had made increases in some. Taking the tariff as a whole’ the changes would, he maintained, be injuries. The Only good features were those which had not been changed.
It appears to be thought that the Budget debate paper will close to-day. Discussion on the details of the bill will be continued in committee and will probably occupy some weeks and may begin next week.
It will be decided to-day whether an
aoe will be proposed to the whole ill.

Sir William Harcourt sharply criticized the vote to strengthen the garrisons of South Africa, and said that the Govern- ment was determined upon a war policy in Soath Africa.
Mr. Chamberlain denounced the Liberal Jeader’s remarke as being “pernicious,” “dangerous” and “unpatriotic.” There was a lively set-to between the two states - men,

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. (Continued from 3rd page.) Hen. Mr. MeLanghlin—Where is the $1¢,000 you lost by drawing from capita] ? In reply Mr. Shaw pointed out that they added $20,000 to their subsidy, or in other words they added $500,000 to the capital of the country. Theretore if they did draw $10,000 they added $20,000. Where, he asked, can this (rovernment point to one dollar that they have added to our capital
at Ottawa. The Minute of Council sent by this Government to the Dominion Government in
1893 was a disgrace, for they stupidly added $20,000,060 twice. Even this last year they drew $19,000 from our land account at Oitawa and thie will redace our subsidy by about $1000. There were also some other leaks to which he would make reterence. One of these was what is known as the mircellaneons department. Mr. George McKenzie is drawing $500 a
year, aod they cannot locate him in any particular ofiice. There ia also John C. McKenzie
who is getting $500 for doing miscellaneous work. They only know he is a friend of the hon. member from West River. Mr. Colin C. McNeill is also paid $500 for miscellaneous work. Thasthe miscel- laneous department costs the province $1,500. The Leader of the Government in LS9L promised that there would be no extras paid in the public service, yet we find them giving these men $500 each for doing extra werk. Ia additien to this Mr. White got $233.33 extra. Mr. Newhery got $50 for extra work, andJ.H. Good, who was only inthe province for three days during the last session, got $200 for acting as lawclerk. Was there ever a Government that stood convicted of reater deceit or of more broken pledges ? hey also paid $176 for extra assistance in connection with examination papers, which work should have been performed by the Superintendent of educatiou, und they aleo paid'another amount for work that should have been done by the school inepectors. They also paid Mr. McLeod,
Mr. Pitblado and Mr. McNutt $25 a day for acting ae arbitrators on the Smith estate—a most exorbitant sum. Last year there was an amount of $100 in the Public Accounts for detective service. Whatw ft this money paid for? It must have been tu discover who stole the old asylum, fir there is nothing to show wlere it has gone
to. The people should know what became of the money that was obtained for that building. To-day some of the bricks mav be seen in the warehouse built by a
merober of this Legislature. He had no
reason to say that hon. member did not
pay for those {brick, bat where was the
money gone? No amount for such
appears in the Public accounts. The Lead-r of the Government denies that he eaid he
would make revedue and expenditure
meet. But they declared they would do
80, and the Leader spoke to this effect as is shown by the Parliamentary Reporter
of 1891. He said he would stop the
deficit, yet every year since they came
into power they have had big deficite.
The deficit in the election year was $119,942 and their deficits
for six years actually amounted to $224,-
757.98. Has this Government not viola-
ted every pledge regarding the waking of revenue and expenditure meet? The Leader of the Goverrment on the floor of the House said they would conenit the people before putting on taxes. Did he tell his constituents if they elected him he would impose taxation? Io his Lyceum
speech the Leader also promised that le would not put on taxes until the peop'e were ful!y consulted at an election. Yet in 1894 he brought in bis tax acts without consulting the peopl: as he promised.
Despite his taxation of that year and of subsequent years he had a deficit on each year’s transactions. The tom] amount collected in taxes from 1894 to 18¥6 was $139,059.16. The Opporitiou claim that these taxes are unfair, that they favor the classes at the expense of the masses. They bear especially beavy on the farmers
whilst the ‘monied men get off lightly and Charlottetown and Summer- side are absolutely free. The farmer has to pay one-fifth of
one per cent. on his capital, aud the monied man pays only 1 per ceat. on his income and the first $350 of that income Is exempt. This year they made a change in the Assessment Act, and the farmer has now to pay on the full value of his farm instead of so much per acre. The Leader stated at Mount Stewart that thrift and industry would pot be taxed. In the face of this province a law is vow passed which prac- tically taxes thrift ani industry. The Opposition say that every man should be taxed according to bis capabilities to pay. Why should the farmer be discriminated against. The hon, member from Bedeque has already ably exposed the iniquity of this system. When the present Government occupied the opposition benches they expressed great alarm at the
iling up of the Provincial debt. Now the Lae sums up what he calls our assets, but he issimply trying to mislead this House. If we each year pile up a debt until it takes all our subsidy to pay it where will we find ourselves. Nothing short of financial embarrasment or provincial bankruptcy is ahead
of us. He claimed that when the Govern- ment assumed a liability it contracted a devt.
(To be Continued)
At six o’clock recess was taken for two hours.
Mr. Campbell followed Mr. sec-nding his motion.
The debate was continued until about two o’clock this morning, those participat- ing being Messrs. Farquharson, Blanchard, Warburton, Robertson and McLaughlin. The discussion was exceedingly lively at times.
The House divided on and it was declared lost. straight party one.
