As it is, they on at, once ave detained in Sackville fur twenty tw hours and three-quarters! We hope thar the New Brunswick and P. E Island rail way authorities will remedy this just cause of complaint. —— 27ere Farmers and the N. P. irse of his last great speech _ the Minister of Finance i statements of vhe Ix the cot upon the Budget reitera‘¢ to the wretched state referred to the Uppositions Leader as of our farmers under the N, P., said :; **The Liberal-Conservative party and the Liberai-Conservative Government know the farmers’ conditior. as well as my hon. friend, sod they do semething for the farmers, while hon. gentlemen opposite talk about them, declaring them to be depressed and pauperized, and giving gorgeous pictures of what they would do » they were only in power. Is it true that the farmers, 44 4 Class, are ppreased by taxation? ‘It isnot true. Ls it true, as my hea. friend said to night, that the farme: pays taxes on all that he eats, on al) tha he wears and on all he consumes? What folly thacis, and I will show you why The farmer requires word to build he house and his bern. Does he pay a single cent of taxes on the wood in this country where we have a surp h which to supp'y the wants of other countrics/ The farmer requires fuel to give him warmth after he has built his house, and in nine cases out oj ten, uses the wood of the country 4s fuel cuts his wood in the winter, and brings it to his farm-yard, and keeps himself warm with it. Dyes he psy is «6WWit He any tax On that wood / He uses coal, ano every ounce of anthracite coal he uses, whichis the coal most largely used for fue purposes, is free of taxation; and in great portions of this country, bitummous coal lies at hia very door, almost completely free, for his taking it at mouth of the pit My hon. friend is wrong as regsrds fuel, and he is wrong as reg:rés’ fvod. It is absurd that we should have to meet an argument f that kind What our people eat are the grains of this country, the best in the world, andof these we raise a surplus What they eat also are the meats of Osan ada, the best and firmest in the world, and of these, too, we have « surplus Our people also consume our butter and cheese, and Canada can make chovse equal to that of the best cheese-producing country in the world to day. and ber butter is equal to th best butter in the world he eygs of the hen, so much derided by my hon. triend are meat and food tothe farmer, and great quantities are consumei by the labouring men. Is there any duty on those! So we might go through everything thar the farm- er uses. What does he psy 4 tax upon in the matter of food! He psys «tax on his mustard and allspice aud cinnamen and cloves and things of that kind, and five cents per quarter woul! represent the bulk of the duty he pays upon these, as far as his conaumption goes He psys infinites mal duties on sugar, the raw sugars being brought in free ; aud, under the state of things which exists this year, he pays less for his sugar than he would if we had no National Policy We have taken the farmer's food , let as consider his drinks What drinks he ought to drink, according to my opinion, are free. His water, tea and coffee are free. If he desiresto drink anything etronger—which he ought not of course to have-—-it is a luxury, he takes, and he has to psy for it, and we will have a tax on that so long as Canada 1s a country So my hon. friend must revise his dictum, ae far as the food is concerned. The principal items of tho farmer are the wood he ijwes in the construction of his building, or the brick or the stone, the fuel he uses, the food he,consumes, apd, in all these particu- lars, which are the main items of his neces- sary expenditure, where is the country in whioh the farmer has so bountiful a supply at eo small a cost? (Go a little further, and con sider his clothiog. There is a large number of farmers in this country, whose ordinary elothing is made of the wool shorn from the sheep they themselves raise. The fleece is ¥ in the ruoniog breok, taken to the mearest carding mill, and the yarn is span by his own wife, and woven on hie own loom, or that of the factory near by, and the mot is made into garments for himself and family. There are thousands and hundreds of thousands of people io this coun- try who are thus clothed, but my hon friends do not see them. They are not in touch with the farmer. They keep all their eyes for the sity people who dress in brdadcloth, They roam about the streets of the large towns and villages,and see only people who are dressed in tweeds, If they would get io touch with the people, they would use their eyes and go among the working classes, aud they would visit the back settlements, where they would fiid the grey homespun costs and trowsers wade out of the wool shorn from the sheep the farmers themselves have raised and the wool of which was carded ia the settlement Go to your cot tous, if you please, go to your woolens, if you wish, aud | make the assertion here that the great woolen mostly used by our people as clothing, taking quality and price together, as reas»nable in ice as they are in. avy country in the world, aking quality and price toge'her, these g 4 . and cottons, are, goods, which are really serviceable for wear-—not clayed cotton, not shoddy weol lene or tweeds or the like but, taking then {6¢ Wear and quality and price, you will get them in Cgnada equel to any corpiry in the world. Those are the thiog® the farmer has gon these he pays the misimum of taxatien; and i say to you that there is ge country in the world where the farmer pays less taxation than he does in this coun try upon all these staple articles whitch go isto the consumption of his daily life. We sonst look out as well for these gentlemen) when they talk of th» load of taxation | Taxation in this country is of different kinds. a es THE DAILY EXAMINER. Hon. gentlemen opposite say that $36,000,000 is what we tako from the pockets of the poor people of Canade. Whata frand that is \s an argument —calliug that taxation end making tho people who know no petter in ome sases because they are not learned in figures, bolieve that a useless tax of 636 000,- 000 is taken ont of them. That statement is vot true. Of that amourt $10,000,000 is for Lquors and tbacco and 80 mB woud get up in this House or any ther Anglo-Saxon House of Parliament and sk that these articles should be made free. 3o | ng as » revenue is needed, ® revenue will be raised upon them. They are not necee- saries, but luxuries, and the man who buys them bays them with the knowledge that he is paying into the revenue, and when he does, it is @ voluntary and not an involuntary tex. Chen there are $8,500,000 of earnings in this country. Are you taxed when you put & let er in the post-office box with ® three-cent stamp on it, and get somebody to carry it 5,000 miles for you ! I thiok not; 1 thiuk you are getting your service done, snd paying very cheap'y for it. Are you taxed when you got a ralway and are whirled from Levie to Halifax or St. John? I think not, for you yet the cheapest travelliag on the Jatercelon- val that you can getanywhere. All that goes iato these earnings. It is not taxstion, bats ehea> service and » good service at a very cheap rate. Add these together and there are 318,000,000. Take out the acknowledged laxt ies, $2,500,000, and§yvushave $20,000,000 of this which is not taxation a > which is perfectly voluntary, or simply & cheap pay- ment for good service. Now, that should be wid. [hold that he is not » friend of his country, that he is an enemy of his country, who will, by keeping the truth from the peo- ple, raise discontent in the minds of the peo- ple, and, if there is aly man in this House that ought to say something when I mention that, it is > honorable gentleman who site op me, the member for South xford (Sir Richard Cartwright) For, if there i¢ any man ia this House who has roused so much discontent and has driven so many people out of the country as the Hon. member for South Oxford has by those io- zenious diatribes ‘of his, I should like to know who he is. But, sir, my hon. friend oas a brand new gospel; he brought it out to- wight. Heis going to have # new order of things, a political millennium—all to himeeif, Iam afraid, What does he say? The leader of & party, speaking in opposition, of courae, vives in hia place aad ia a loud voice and in a tone that can be heard from Cape Breton to British Columbia, proclaims the new evange! Whatisit? ‘Taxation is an evil; it never produced prosperity; it is an sbridgement ot every good citizen's :ights.” Now, my hon. friend’s duty is plain, He is the leader of a werful party. Sometime in the bye and nye, may be the long bye and bye, he may get into power. But I want to impress this upon him, that when he gets into power I hope he will practice the doctrine he preaches, that he will not put taxation upon che peop'e or give his confidence and support to an evil which uever produced prosperity aud whioh is an ab:idgement of every good citizen's rights. Sir, that doctrine in a leader of the Government would be arrant foolish- ness, but in the mouth of an irresponsibie leader of an OppositionSit is a firebrand. It is a firebrand, Sir, because it is a doctrine by means of which he hopes to win the favour of people who knew less about it than be does by ———- them with the hope that when the Hon. Wilfred Laurier rules this country there will beno evil which never produced prosperity and which is an abridgment of every good citizen's rightsin the name of taxation. Persenal, ; James Clow, M. P.

This would decidedly awkward for the Responsible Ad- visers, who, despite the sffront they were given, coutinue to huld on te office. The harvest of the past year was not up to anticipation. Crops of whest and oats were, alike, somewhat disappointing to our farmets ; and their negleet to ae with the provisions cf # statute familiarly known as ** The Bug Act,” resulted in the loss of many fields of potatoes, including ‘that of Hie Honour the Lieutenant Governor. Hay and other crops were, however, excelien', and prices were rather higher than the average. For these and all other blessings aud benefits | ask you to give thanks. An impetus has been given to the dairy industry by the Dominion Government, and a number of cheese factories are to be erected and operated. 1 regret that my ministers have uct fulfilled their promise tosupp'y a travelling dairy But they have imported an impotent Durhem bull ef excellent pedigree and sdmirable hys'que. The hervic exertions of my Jinisters, have, however, been rewarded. There will be the usual number of calves for distribution over the three counties. Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly : The public accounts of the past year are not yet to hand, though an act was specially passed to provide for their early publics- tion and distribution. You aré not, there- fore, in @ position to judye of the asaectual financial position of the Province. J may, however, inform you (confidentially, cf course) that though my minitters did as little as they could do—the p-incipal public work of the year being the erection of a shed at the end of Prince Street . Ferry Wharf—the deficit at the close of the yeur was upwards of $50,000. All the deben- tures issued by my Government have been sold at pricea lower than those obtained by the City of Charlotretown. Yet the Provincial Building has mot been repaired according to promise and the accounts at the Banke are conaid- erably overdrawn. As a consequence of your persistent refusal to reduce the cost of legislation and of the loss of revenue from the Land Office, which haa been wrecked and demoralized by reason of unfair end reck- less discounts, you will be required to pro- vide for direct taxation, in the future, amounting to about $100,000a year. | ask you, as you value the independence of the Province, to prepare s measure provid- ing against enforced union with New Bruns- wick or Nova Scotia. Mr. President and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council : Mr. Speaker and Honourable Gentlemen of the House of Assembly : { trust that the truths whieh I have im- parted to you will sink deeply into your hearts; and that, relying upon Divine Providence, you will at once manfully en- deavor to rectify, as ‘far as possible, the results of past follies and neglects, to the eod that the continued independence of the Province, which we al) hold dear, may be preserved.
