THE BUDCET.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson's Speech,

( Continued.)

The Assets of the Province on 31st Dec., 1878, were as follows, viz:

NE Fo a wines ian 4 huni $ 793,356.12) De ME nk s 6 0.440.400 2.962 213,516.00 Per capita allowance, capitalized

election. Mr.-Speaker, there are many subjects which have come before this House which are of vital importance, during the present debate, but the principal points with which we have to deal are the financial position of the Province, the question as to whether we are going forward or backward, and whether or not the Estimates now before the House are sufficient to meet the public demands and the needed expendi- ture. In a word, are these estimates correct? In looking over them we notice, in the first place, that they are not equal to the expenditure of last year in their amount. His Honor, the Leader of the Government thinks it quite unnecessary to make an estimate for the same expenditure as that of last year. There is to be no

$3,111,208.12' Less floating debt, 1878,see appx. G. Journals, 1879. .5......466% 33,070.89

} $3,078, 138.23

It is very clear that in order to make a fair comparison, we must reduce our figures | to one denomination, so to speak. The fixed revenue derived from Ottawa has, therefore, been capitalized at 5 per cent. By this statement it will be seen that the total assets of the Province on the Sist December, 1878, were $3,078,137.23. Hon. geutlemen will agree with me that this is| a fair statement of our assets at that date. At the close of the year 1878, it will be seen by the Provincial Auditor’s statement, that the sum of $52,000 was carried over as unpaid accounts to the next year. A quarter's salary due the teachers at the close of the year 1878 was carried over to 1879. As the salaries for only three quar- ters were paid the teachers in 1878, it is fair that the remaining quarter should be charged to that year. During the whole of their term of nine years the present Gov- ernment have paid the teachers four full quarters, and could not be expected to pay any more. But in comparing our position in 1878 with our position in 1887, the quarter’s salary falling due in December in each year should not be included on either side of our aceount. Deducting, therefore, the quarter's salary for 1878 from other un- paid accounts, we have a balance of $33,- 070.89. We have deducted this balance from the assets, and find the whole amount of assets to be $3,078,137.23, as already stated. I will now take up the public ac- counts at the close of the past financial year, 1887, and see what our assets were at that date. The following figures will show our assets on the 31st December, 1857, viz. :—

Debt account with Dominion....$ 975,872.90 Rend Goneentt. cxo we pons oo ap esde 152,023.29 Per capita allowance, capitalized

talized at 5 per cent.......... 600,000.00 Increase of subsidy, 1887....... 400,000.00

NE BIE 6+ ne tin Sane oo b09h oe 199,940.35

$3,670,803. 84

By deducting the assets for 1878 from those of 1887, we find a balance in iavor of the Province on 3lst December, 1887, of the sum of $592.666.61. The hon. junior member for New London labored to show that for the increase on debt account, the Government were entitled to no credit wharever ; but he knows very little of what the Government are doing or have done to increase the assets of the Province. But even supposing that the hon. member was right, does that show that we are not better off as regards -the debt account I think not. The fact still remains that we are really much better off. The sur to our credit on debt account is $975,872.00. On land account, which bears interest, we have $152,023.29. Our per capita allow- ance has increased on account of the in- crease of population from'1871 to 1881. It is true that this iacrease was not due to the Government ; but the fact remains that it really took place, and that the Province is entitled to a larger subsidy ; ana in mak- ing this calculation I capitalize that amount, The sum allowed for Legislation is capital- ized in the same manner, as well as the in- crease of subsidy of $20,000 per year. The total of these amounts is $3,870,744.19. From this we deduct the floating debt, in- cluding all unpaid expenditure belonging to the past year,and we findwe have tothe credit of the Province at the present time the sum of $3,770,803.84, or $592,666.61 in excess of the assets of 1878. Now, I have gone over these figures and compared them with considerable care, I think I have made a fair comparison between the assets of 1878 and 1887. | ask the House to answer the question as to whether these figures bear the impress of fairness on their face, or whether the figures submitted by the hon. junior member for Now London are entitled to credit. It is clear that instead of being bankrupt, the Province now stands ina better position, financially, than ever before, since we entered Confederation. The hon. member for New London in his speech the other day went back and raked up some old matters of political history, referring to some defeats at the Polls which the hon. Leader of the Government experienced before he secured a seat in this House The cases of these gentlemen are very different. The Hon. Attorney General has passed successfully through whatever difii- culties and opposition he encountered when he first entered political life. But the hon. member for New London has his troubles before him, and I will venture the opinion that whether that gentlemen secured his seat by worming himself into the confidence of the late representative of New London, and afterwards betraying him, or whether he convinced the majority of the electors by such figures as he subrritted to this House on Saturday last, or whether he gained his election by 4 liberal use of

i now voting $20,000 for that purpose.

experditure on account of small pox in Charlottetown nor for a new court house for Georgetown. In addition to this @ much smaller amount of unpaid accounts was carried forward from last year, su that it will be found that the Estimates for the present year will be found nearly, if not quite suflicient, to meet the public require- ments. Last year the expenditures in many of the Departments were liberal indeed. No less than $19,957.58 was expended on bridges. That was a very liberal sum, and was probably in excess of what will be required this year ; yet we are The expendifure on the roads was also very large during the past year, and we ought this year to provide for them with a smaller amount of money. Some of the Super- visors, in the Leader of the Opposition’s district, expended a very large sum last year..In one case $900 and {in another $1100 were spent. I think it will be found quite possible to keep the roads in repair with less money. Last spring the freshets left the roads in a very bad state, and there may have been more damage done in the hon. member’s district than in some others. But the expenditure upon the roads in the various districts of the Province shows that the Government are not actuated by party spirit, and that they have not been in the habit of rewarding their political friends nor in depriving their political opponents of their just share of the public monies.

Obituary. George, the youngest and beloyed son of Mr. Hector Johnston, died at his father’s residence, Brudenell, aged seventeen years and five months, April 4, after a Jong and severe iilness, which he bore with great patience. Father, mother, four brothers and four sisters are left in sorrow, but not hopeless. George never made a oe profession of faith in Christ, but he loved the Church and Sunday School, and in his great desire to re- cover was the thought of associating him- self with the people of God. He lived the last of his life and died trusting in Him who came to ‘seek to save the lost.” O. B. Emery.

Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Forbes have re- turned to Washington from Florida, where they spent most of the winter, Mr. Forbes has been greatly benefitted by the warm climate. They will sail for Europe next month to spend the summer. The late William Webster, the Tha:nes embankment contractor, left a fortune of more than $655,000. He began business as a day's laborer, and for some time after he became a contractor was unable to write hisname. Hard work and perseverance gave him a fair education and a handsome fortune. The Berlin Post suggests that M. Floquet, DeFreycinet and Goblet should warn General Buulanger that he is unneces- sarily playing a dangerous game in aiming at a dictatorship. They should, it says, after declaring war, send him te conduct operations telling him that if he is victori- vus the sovereignity of France will fall by him, while if defeated he wil! aveid the further disgrace of being a “surpei. A poor boy peddler was killed by the electric light wire in New York the other day, and the Tribune regrets that it was not a millionaire who suffered, for then the community would have risen in its might and compelied the placing of the wires underground. Judging by the treatment which Jay Gould and his associates get from the press just now, no such result would have followed. More likely addi- tional poles would have beeii erected about the houses of the surviving millionaires.
