THE BUDGET. Continuation of the Debate,

Mr. Perry continued the debate on the Budget, dealing with the delegation to Eng- land on the tuatter of the terms of Union.

Accounts, the Land Office, &c.

last named institution, and suggested severa! changes in its management. He charged the Government with being remiss in its duty in not placing the cost of the recent delegation to England in the Publie Ac- counts for thé year, and in referring to the matter of winter communication he ex- pressed the opinion that the Island had been sold for $120,000 With reference to the raising of a revenve, he said he was decidedly opposed to the inauguration of an Assessment Act, but would favor the issuing of debentures instead.

statements made by the Laader of the Gov- ernment,

smallpox expenditares too small, and ex- pressed the opinion that the delegates to London were not entitied to exact pay for their services. ‘The estimates for the year were, he@ontended, not suflicient to meet the expenditures, and he charged the Gov- ernment with giving work without tender to political favorites, thus entailing large losses upon the country,@BHe thought the country Was in a deplorable financial condi- tion, and was of the opinion that it was being sol@ for the eighth of a million which the Government said they expected. When the Government have no windfalls the ex- penditares exceed the receipts, and he thought it was tims some more certain means of raising arevenne were obtained

Hon. Mr. Camrsett refuted the charges made against him as Commissioner of Pub- iic Works, contending that the public works of the country were never in a better condition then at pres nt. With reference to the charge of the Opposition that money was lost to the country by the viving of contracts to political friends he wottld say tha: it was false, and that the country had lost nothing at ail by such means. He enumerated the work of the Government on the Steck Farm, at St. Peter's, and else- where, and compared the actions of the Davies ‘Government Com. Public Works with his own, and defied any hon. member to prove that the affairs of his Department were not being properly conducted. He compared the amount spent on public works by the present G»vernment with the amount spent by the Davies Government greatly to the favor of the present Admini- stration, He said that the present Govern- ment had to bear mucli additional expense because of the slovenly manner in which theCommissioner of Public Worts under the Davies Administration, did his work ; many of the bridges erected by him throughout the conntry having to be pulled down and rebuilt properly by the present Govern- ment. The present Government do not harass the people with taxes to raise a revenus, but instead ask for our just rights from Ottawa, in the piers and other mat- ters. The hon. member from Tignish says the country has been sold for the paltry sum of $120,000 ; but little need be said in reply, other than that the present Govern- were the friends of the people, and could be relied upon no’ to barter away their rights. The Governmont could to-day pay off the legacy of debt left them by the Davies Administration, as well as their own, and still manage the affiirs of the Province without resorting to taxation Should the Government go out of power, which was not likely, at the next election, it will leave the country considerably better off than when it cams into power. The bon. member for West River thinks the delegates to London should not be paid for their services. Tho Laird-Haythorne Gov- ernment settled that matter when it estab lished the rule that from the day the dele- gates left the Island their salary ceased, and instead they were io receive eight dol- lars per day till their return. After ex- plaining away many of the wild statements of the Opposition, he concluded by remarking that he was perfectly satisfied to stand by his record, and had the fullest confidence of his being elected when h- went to his con stituents.

Mr, Ricwarps criticised the action of the Government, contending that the deficit was larger than the Government admitted, and that the estimates were not sufficient to meet the expenditure. With reference to the eighth of a million, he thought the leader of the Government sbould have jexplained for what we were getting it and from whom; but he himself did not think there was anythinginit. He concluded by remarking that there was not suflicient money at the disposal of the Commissioner of Public Works, and as a consequence many of the roads and bridges throughout the country are going to ruin.

Mr. Brer followed with the regular opposition fusilade against the Commis- sioner of Public Works. He took excap- tion to the estimates, contending that they were not sufficient, and in referring to the eighth of a million mentioned by the leader of the Government in his speech, con- tended that the House should have been enlightened as to the source it was to come from, and for what service we were getting it, After referring to the delegation and other matters, he concluded by expressing the hope that the leader of the Governmsnt would explain the means he intended adopting for raising a revenue.

Mr. Brake remarked that he supported the present Government because they were administering the affairs of the country in a just and equitable manner, and because he felt that the people were perfectly satis-

present Government, since coming into power, have cut down salaries and amalga- mated offices, by this means alone saving large sums to the country, and their man- ‘agement of affairs of this Province, was in marked contrast with that of the Davies Administration. With reference to the piers matter, he remarked that the Govern- ‘ment had a hard road to travel in obtain- |ing our just rights, but notwithstanding the

the lateness of the session, the Public obstacles thrown in their way by the Op- He called | position, they had succeeded in already ob- attention to the meagre report from the taining a large amount, and the prospects

of getting more were bright. As for the

charge that our rights had been eold, it

was to? ridiculous for serious thought and might go down in the country but not here. To tho Government is entitled much credit for the success attending our exhibi- tion, and for the supplying of permanent buildings etc. The Stock Farm also had been well looked after, and no Government had ever done so much to foster agricultural interests, as had the present. He related the steps taken by the Government in the

matter of the non-falfiiment of the terms

Mr Farqunarson followed in the same|of Union, and complimented the delegates strain, taking exception to many of the|to London, on the able manner in which

they had presen‘ed the Island’s case. The

The reduction of the Legislature, lay with the Legislative Council at preseut, and as there was an Opposition majority there, he did not see! much prospect of a rednetion. While’ estimates are at the bost unreliable, owing | to unforseen circumstances, the estimates | of the present Government are more correct than were those of their predecessors, who were in the habit of placing a sum sufticient for almost everything. He did not think there was any truth in the charges of cor- ruption made against the Commissioner of Public Works, as that official was good and irue.

Mr. SinctairR contended that the esti- males were not sufficient to meet the ex- penditures. He thought there waa not much hope of our getting any further sum from Ottawa on account of the press claim, neither could he see that much good would result from the recent delegation on the Terms of Uniov, as after they had inter- viewed Sir Alex, Campbell, that gentle- man had said that faith had been kept with the Island as far as possible, Just now he could not see how the propo:ed reduction of the Legislative Council could be effected.

Hon. Mr. Lervrcry after explaining why he left the Davies administration, re- ferred to the action of the present Govern- ment in the matter of the piers claims. A large sum had been collected on this ac- count and thers was hopes of our getting more. When the matter of winter com- munication is.settled we have another claim upon the Dominion + for past negligence. He thought the proposed re- duction of our Legisiatare could not be effected at present, as the opposing party were al} powerfwl in the Legislative Council, and when a bill for the reduction goes up it is defeated.

Mr. D, C. Martin spoke briefly and submitted the following resolution :

Whereas, A delegation of three members of the Executive Council have recently visited London forthe purpose of supporting the address of both branches of the Legislature to Her Majesty the Queen, on the subject ofthe non-fulfilment of the- Terms of Unionin respect of winter communi cation by the Dominion of Canada.

And Whereas, By the despatches and other documents laid upon the table of this House, and from information imparted by the said delegates on this subject, there is no promise or assurance given on the part of the Dominion Government that any payment will be made to this Province as consideration for the non-fulfilment of said Terms in the past,

Resolved Therefore, That this House is of opinion thatin providing “ways and means” for the ex- penditure ofthis Province for the current year, the Government are not justified in calculating upon $125,000 being received from the Dominion Government during the present year; and this House protests against the Government accept- ing any monetary consideration in lieu of the non-fulfilment for the future of the Terms of Confederation by the Dominion Government without first submitting any offer which may be made on this subject to the people at the polls.

Ma. J. R. McLean seconded the resolu- tion.

Mr. BENTLEY quoted at length from the official records in demonstration of the fact that large reductions in expenditure effected by the Government apply to the Civil Ser vice and Administration rather than to ex- penditures for the improvement and development of the country, Under the present Government expendi- tures, not only for education, but for the promotion of agriculture, have largely in- creased, and fuads, bridges and public works throughout the couutry, are in a much better condition than they were when the late Government was in power. Asto wharves, the expenditure on them has been saved to the country ; while last year $14,000 was obtained from the Dominion for the purpose maintaining them, and was expended in the Province for the benefit of its people—making a difference of $28,000 in our favor.

Mr. Hooper thought terms of Union important and should be carried out ; but if they were not, he would advise withdrawal from the Confederacy. He censured the Leader of the Government for allowing the bridges in his district to go to ruin and _ re- ferred to the election returns of 1882, to show that the Government had lost ground in the country.

Avex. Martin referred to the small debt of $18,000 incurred by the present Govern- ment after seven years’ administration. He contrasted the action of the present with the Davies Government, and said the latter government came into power with $40,000 in the Treasury, and were deposed by the people after two years’ reign, leay- ing behiod a debt of $51,000, which the present government have had to pay off. He contended that the present government had carried on the affairs of the country more economically than any government since Confederation. The pruning knife had been applied wherever pessible, offices

}

were amalgamated and salaries reduced; in fact, everything was done to lighten the

fied with them for so doing. The people, burdens of the people. The people could throughout the country are satisfied that|mot blame the government for not effecting

He thought the Public Works Depart- ment was well conducted without the assistance of the Engineer, and the roads and bridges were in as good a condition as it were possible to put them. He took exception to the amendment introduced by

his hon. colleague, and proposed the follow- ing in amendment thereto :—

That ali after the first word *“ That” be struck out, and the following substituted in lieu thereof : “It is resolved, as the opinion of this House, that the Government of this Province shou!d insist that the Dominion of Canada carry out that part of the Terms of Confederation which guarantees that efficient steam service, winter and summer, for the conveyance of mails and passencers, be established and maintained between this Island and the mainland; and if the Federal Govern- ment fail to undertake and complete such a work as will fulfil the Terms of Union in this particular mentioned, that a sufticient consideration in lieu thereof be secured to this Province, said consider- ation, if intended as full compensation for the past, and so farasitshali apply to the future to
