Iy has often been remarked that gocd times come with the Conservatives. A remarkable illustration of the truth of this observation has been seen in the won- derfui development and prosperity of Can- ada under its Conservative administration —a prosperity scarcely checked by the misfortunes United States, unprecedented commercial that lately overtook the with which our country is so closely con- is found ip The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, in the nected. Another illustration the present “boom” in Great Brita‘n. course of bis budget speech on Thursday lat, that, despite the fact that the expen- diture of the last fiscal year has been larger than any yearsince the last great war, the surplus in the treasury was the largest ever known apd the credit of the conntry was never so high.

Deposits in the savings banks apd permanent accounts in ordinary b.nks Tas amount of bullion in the Bank of England aid £49,000,000 reserve fund in the bank, in proportion to its liabilities, was the highest on record.

The speech is a p>werful arraigument of our political de- ceive re, _——- ——_—- —- o+8 +e ——_—_—_———_——~— Mr. Laurier at Valleyfield again pro- mised that if he was retured to power the Manitoba School question wou!'d be quic«- ly settled. This, as the Gazette remarks, is another reason for thinkiog that the whole difficulty isa put up affair of the Liberal party. Liberals passed the Mani- toba School law; Liberals began the agita- tion against it outside ot Manitoba; now Liberals want to Le given the job of set ting it. —Recent events have made it plain that, curiously enough, Mr. Tarte spoke truly when in 1877 he described Mr. Lavrier as follows: “* Mr. Laurier is not a nobody; still less is he what we calla man of talent. He has acharaster veneered on the outside. discover the mediocrity within. He is not learned ; his speeches shew it. His thought never rises above the plane of bis preiu- dices. He will never be faithful to what he does not possess— principles, sound convictions or patriotism.” ' the Scraich a little and you will } place. While the Liberals drew from capital they never placed a cent there. The Leader also said we had no debt compared with the other provinces. We have shown enormous increase im onr debt in five vears of $250,000, although they had taken $90,000 in taxes from the people. Wherever you find a Liberal Gov- ernment you will find an enor-nous debt. Unlike the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia we have no resources to bear the burden of a permanent public debt and it must fall on the farmera and on these alone. Let us look at Quebec under Grit rule. From 1885, under Mer- cier, they increased the debt enormously, and as everyone knows Mercier was hand in glove with Laurier. During the Mer- cier regime the debt of that province was increased from $186,000 to $3,060,000. Pie Peters combination are following fast in the footsteps of Mercier and it is in orler to cry halt. Cold storage had been promised by the Leader, and it was promised that it would be undertaken this session. It was not for the ben: fit of the farmers that this wa: to be done, however, but in order to divert attention from the big public debt and to boodle some constituencies at the coming election. But some cf their best men put their feet down, and we heard no more about cold storage. What did the Leader say about the large expenditure on roads and bridges? He blamed it on the freshets. But does any- one remember those freshets? In the Third District of Prince County there wagaflood. It lasted forty day:. The Commissioner of Public work: was the dove sent out and he caine back with an olive branch in the person of the hon. member who sat almost opposite. But tle check book of the Commissioner of Public Works wasempty. He (Mr. Shaw) did not think it was right to use the pub- lic money to win any election. He then went on to show that last year $12,600 over the estimates had been expended on bridges, and the snug sum of $7000 over and above the estimates fer roads. With regard to the statement of the Leader that the road machines bad not turned out sat~ isfactorily, he showed that the opposition pointed this out at the time they were first obtained. The op~ position pointed out last year that there was not enough in the estimates for bridges, but our advice was not heeded We spent on an average $21,000 a year on roads whilst they spent only $19,000. He thought it was no wonder the people are complaining that the public works are not being kept up. Evervone could see that the Leader was laboring hard in his budget speech an sought relief wherever possible. He spoke ef education and blamed the National Policy because there were no more than 300 children attending the schools in 1896 than there were in 1884. If there were only 300 more children attending the schools in 1896 than in 1884, he could not see how the Government cold be justified in spending $16,000 ‘er educating that number of children. He thoizht the statement of the Leader that there are now more second class teachers, went to show how carefully the forn er administra- tion watched over the interests of educa- tion when the teachers had been so wel) grounded in their erlier yeare. He (Mr Shaw) did not think the Leader had any right to take credit for lessening the cost | of administration of justice because that expenditure is uncontrollable. Mr. Shaw then to.k up some of the questions he had askei the Government. He referred especially to his question re- garding the large sum, about $4,000, ex- penses upon the steamer Boodler, claim- ing that it was a matter which smells to Heaven. The question has never been answered, and he appealed to th2 hon. members about the board if they were eat- i-fied with the conduct of the Government in this matter. He had also asked for in- formation regarding abridge ‘n his dis- trict which was in need of repair and showed that in connection with this work there were two bosse®, a time-keeper and two men. There were only 13 piles to be put in, and they should cost about $350 each, yet the cost of the work, as thown by the Public Accounts, is over $600. He could not see what there was about the work to make it cost so much. Mr. Shaw also referred to an- other instance in which @ brace was requir ed for a bridge at Montague and the inan who put it in said it would cost $2.50. In 1291 the Commissioner of Public Works promised to pay that man the $250, but it has not been aid yet. Asamatter of fact that very aa proved the salvation of the bridge when the spring freshet came on. Last year, wenton Mr. Shaw, we wanted to know about a carpet which had been pnt into Government House, but we never got an answer. This carpet, he explained, was bought from a hardware merchant, a go-between between the real merchant and the Government. The Government would not tell the number of yards, but he had obtained the number and beliéved there were more yards of carpet paid for than had actually been furnishe! Government House. A statement had also been asked regarding the Hurd Point ferry. They have every reason to believe that the con- tract let this year was not fair. He be- lieved a Conservative tendered for $€900 and a Grit for $1400, and that although the former’s boat was better, a compromise average expenditure on wharves was $7,- 000 against $5,000 by the present admin- istration. The hoa. member from Squaw Bay aaid that McAulav’s wharf wes in a bad state and that it would be difficult to distinguish itfrom a stack of hay. To day he says this resemblance no longer exists. Yet not a cent of revenue is shown to have been received from that wharf. Referring to Alexandra wharf, he said that only two schooners have come to it during the last three years. It cost $1200 of the people’s money, but where are the receipts? Nr. Shaw then took up the administra- tion of justice by the present Government. He pointed out that they boasted Jong and loud when in epposition of what they would do when they atained power, and they thus secured the votes of the temperance people. But how did they en— force the law? Lact year we asked fora statement of Scott Act fines, and in the dying hours of the Hou-e this statement came. This session we at last wrung a similar statement from the Leader. This statement shows thatsofar asthe en- forcemeut of the Act and the collection of fines go the Leader is not entitled to the respect of the temperance people. In 189i they paid $665.40 for expenses in connec tion with prosecutions under the Act that were lost. On the other hand they only received $90 in the shape of fines. Of this amount $50 was paid in by H. J. Palmer and $40 by S. Blanchard.’ The leader al- ways claimed that expenses were paid out of the fines, but it seems that they bave been paid out of the general revenue. In 1895 the sum paid out was $396 and only $103 was collected. For stipendiaries $600 was paid, and for prosecations $600, mak- ing in all about $1600 in that vear. Hethonght it was our duty to take this matter up and see where the fines have gone. In King’s County there were thirty- two convictions. Let the Attorney-General explain what has become of the money. It is not in the treasary, and it might as well have remained uncollected. It may have gone to toodle the Fort Augustus district or tothe Gentlemen’s Club to entera'in friends of the Leader. It was no wender the King’s County Alliance passed a re-o- lution that fines be not psid te the Attor- ney General, butintothe hands of the prosecutor. Inthe Public Accounts we find $100 for a detective. Was this detec- tive paid to look for the Scott Act fines? Chis $100 was paid in April last. Last year he (Mr. Shaw) brought up the matter of loes by the Florida—-Eifin collision. He pointed out that the ferry wharf was not properly lighted. Under the late government the wharf was lighted by electricity, but after the present gov- ernment cane in they made a change and had the wharf lighted by oil paying 20 cts. per wine gallon for it. The wharf was not properly lighted when the accident occurred. The Leader said that every dollar entailed by that accident would be paid, but the Public Accounts show a loss of $2,625 20 Wea'so find that in the purchase of the Smith estate there is ne account of the money paid to Mrs. Smith. Of course the obj-vt is to keep down the deficit on the eve of a general election. Mr. Shaw then turned his attention to the ferries, and pointed out that the whole of the amount collected for land tax had heen taken up to operate the Hillsborough Ferry. He showed that at an average of 50 cents a trip, the amount realized yearly should be over $7,600, instead of $4,600. There is aleo a big deficit on the ferries. There seems to be something radically wrong. We have no right to run the steamer to West River, as there is a good road, ecow eervice and bridge. Itis run solely to accommodate the hcn. member for West River. The same is true of the East River ferry. which is run for the ac- comamodation of the Leader and his friends. ‘The country has no right to pay for this. He charged that steamers other than those owned by the Government were watered at the public expense, and said it was Sol. Clarke, the bo-om friend of the Leader, and not Angus Macdonald, who was the contractor forthe Boodler. He showed that there was $3,144 unaccounted for in connection with the contracts for this steamer. It was no wonder she was called the Boodler. If they could loodle $3,000 on a $12,000 contract it was no wonder the Leader wanted cold storage, and was desirous of going into other pub- lic works. He wanted the money to boodle at the next election, and to take away the attention of the farmers from the Governmenvs iniguit-es, The Leader said that the hour of deliv- erance was at handand that Laurier the immaculate would soon be in control. But he (Mr. Shaw) had faith in the Coneerva- tive party. Leok at the great works they have enacted and what they have done for Canada, while the Libera] party bas had a dozen different policies. Look at the Liberal _ party. The Tartes, Mce- Shaner, Pacands and others who rank among the greatest political plunderers of the age are fighting under the Laurier banner, and it will be asorry day for Can ada when they attain power. When the day of strife arrives he believed that the party of progress, the party of justice to Manitoba, would be sustained by the peo- ple. (Applause.) Mr. H. C. McDonald followed, epeaking for about an hour before recess, and con- tinuing his remarks until well into the evening session. He criticised ilie re- ress Coods !
