THe EXamIner has, year afteryear, for wany years, directed attention to the ruinous tendency of this policy. It is now condewned by all sensible and honest met. Public opinion is emphatic- ally against it. Ino view of this fact, the Guardian was, previous to the meeting of the Legislature, inspiced to publish « series of articles taxation. It was, conse- quently, inferred by many persons that a change was to be elfucted. But Mr. Pre- mier Peters decided to go in the old way until after the next election. The exigen- cies of Party Politica are move intluential than considerations as to the public good. It is absolutely certain that there will be another large deficit. Yet the Guardian has not had anything remarkable to say against the Government. [tis now as mild and limp concerning taxation as it hss been concerning the mortgage vote, the ‘‘gerry. mander,” ‘‘the disfranchisement,’’ ‘the two-thirds clause,” etc. This fact illus- trates quite forcibly the indepeudence of our vaunted “* Independent Journalism.” In connection with the policy of ** drift and deficit” there has been a deliberate and persistent suppression of important facts. A few returns were made towards the end of the session. But it was found impossible to wring from the Government statements of the amount of indebtedness ‘* carried over” from last year, the amouat allowed a: discounte in the Land Office, and many others, more or less important, for which they had bsen asked and pressed by the Opposition.

He referred to ie Sabbath escapades of the Hon. mewber for Belfast and the Commissioner of Pab tic Works, and reviewed at length the Iste report cf the Commissioners of the Guv- ernment Steck Farm. The experiments made at great expense last year, were, he said, practically worthless, because the re- suits had not been published and im- parted to our farraers. The Leader of che Opposition contended hat the report of the Stock Farm Com- missioners, with the results of the experi- ments ought to have been published in pamphlet torm. The Directors of the Dairy Station at New Perth were to be com- mended for having published their report, containing information of the greatest interest and importance to farmers. But the Government are to be blamed for not having published the results of the experi- made on the Stock Farm three The importation of an old ments months ago. worn-out bull he characterized as outra- geous. Hon. Mr. Sinclair atated that there would be eight calves by the bull Challenge. He believed that if but two bull calves were obtained of his strain the Province would be repatd the outlay of money inci- | dent to his importation; but hoped for | better results in the present season than in the past. He repudiated the statement that the bull Chiettain recently deceased was diseased. The post mortem examina- tion of the Veterinary Surgeon proved that he was healthy and that his death was due to undigested grain in his stomach. Dr. Jenkins lamented the fact that the m inagement of the Govern- ment Stock Farm had become political. In former times, when he and the late Judge Peters were commissioners, it was uot so, and there was little or no dissatis- faction in connection with the farm. He thought the Commission should be made up ot men of both parties. The farm should, he thought, be made less a atock farm and more an experimental farm. The experiments might, he thought, be carried further than they have been and might include tests as to broadcast or drill seed- ing and dibbling. The sheep should, in his opinion ali be sold off the farm, and instead say a hundred ram lambs of the best quality shovld be purchased by the Government and distributed throughout ' the Province for the use of farmers. Most of the cattle might also be sold and bulls of the best breeds purchased and placed with- in reach of farmers all over the country. He regarded sheepas the back-bone of farming in this Province, and thought that special attention should be paid to their breeding, in view ot the early prospect of a free market in the United States. It weuld be wellif the commissioners obtained a bone will and made bone meal. They might a'so grow quantities of flax and express the from the seed and feed he refase to young animals on the firm, In respect to horses he thought that the Government should import a Hackney stallion. These horses are fashionable both in Kingland an? the United States—and we ought to breed to the fashion. In conclusion, Dr. Jenkins psid tribute to the faithfulness and honesty of Mr. Bell,—late manager of the Stock Farm —and deciared that the belittling of that gentleman by the Chairman of the Hoard of Stock Farm Commissioners was shameful. Messrs. Underhay and Shaw continned the discussion. Mr. Shaw asked if it were true that Mr. Swan were dismissed from the Stock Farm, but obtained no rep'y. After recess, House met at 8.30 and re- sumed committee on the report of the Pub- lic Accounts Committee. The Opposition criticised the varicus parrgraphs of the report and pointed out certaia inaccurate and irrelevant statements contained therein. Mr. Bantley moved several amendments to the report, which were ruled out of order. Mr. Shaw objected to the atatement in the report to the effect that the indebted- ness of the Province at the end of the year 1891 was $154,23699. He thought the amount the Province lost by the sale of debentures should have been placed in the report. These debentures were sold at a discount of 4 per cent., while the eity de- bentures sold at4 per cent. premium ; and et the very time our debentures sold at a loss of 4 per cent., the waterworks de- bentures were sold at par. He charged the Government with not properly advertising their debentures, and claimed that by the bungling and gross mismanagement of the present administration, they had lost to the country some 4. p. c. on each dollar of debentures floated for all time to come. During the two years that the present Government have been in power they have rolled up a debt of $206,474 93 Mr. H. C. Macdonald said that if the hon. member could not understand the accounts he could not help it. It was quite true that in 1888 the city debenturas sold at 4 p. c., while later on they were again offered tor sale and only brought par. One of the chief reasons the Government debentures did not sell so well as was expected was that the financial affsirs of the Province had been mismanaged by the late adminis- tration, and anotoer was the failure of the the total debt at the end of 1892 was $206,- 474 93 Mr. H. C. Macdonald made an explana- tion of the paragraph relating to the coat of printing, discounting and negotiating deben’ ures, the debt of the Province, ete. Mr. Shiw said he wes glid to have the the debt of the Province on the 24th + April, 1891, was not alty to ths our sole aim. Mc.

Mr. H. C.

Mr. Arsenault objected to the way the report of the committee was being disposed of, and censured the chairman for refusing to accept the amendments proposed by the Opposition. : Mr. Rogers also criticised. the report, and said they might as well make a reference in it to the Beltagt riot, the Land Office scandal, or any other piece of ancient history as to take up the Registry Office. exception to the | the committee. They | of common sense had the Registry Office to do with the Public Accounts report. Mr. Bell said he thought the hon. member fcr New Perth should explain abows the discrepancy of $15 in the Education Office, as he understood the Superintent of Eduoa- tion had explained the matter to the entire satisfaction of the hon. member. his explanafion of this the same as when he brought it up in the Houad’ before.

Mr. Bell criticised the amendment intro- duced by the hon. member tor Georgetown at considerabls Jength, and said he was in hearty accord with the resolution expressed by the hon. member for Chariotte- town in reference to the great advantages that would inure to the Dominion, and this Province, particularly, if a reciprocity treaty with the United States were estab- lished. A change was now taking place in public opinion in the United States, and he felt sure that as a result the high tariff walls now existing would soon be removed.
