It was a oir• onmetanoe that most be deplored. A oloeer examination would not diminish the sur- prise, for the largest increase had been -of all the spirits in the world -from rum. (Laughter.) The rum was drunk mainly at seaports. In 1888 the number of drama taken reaohed 246,000,000. In 1889, 275.000,000. Ia was an extraordinary' his- torical fact that in the years 1875 and 1876, the greatest drinking years reoorded, there was precisely the same rneh and ppre0ieely.._filejame...proportion_.of-revenne- from the different epirite. Increased pros.' verity, therefore, meant a great increase in the consumption of alcoholic drinks. The postal receipts exceeded the esti- mates by £100,000. The revenue from telegraph° exceeded the estimates by £90,000. The , exact surplus reaohed £3,221,000. He said the national debt during the lain three years had been diminished £23,823,000. Thie was the largest rednotion: ;-of -the debt during the same length of time. Mr. Goschen esti- mated there would be an expenditure of £86,857,000 during. the ooming year, and a revenue of £90,406,000. He proposed to allot £)00,000 to military barracks, and to devote £100,000 to the equipment of'vol- unteere. The Indian and. Colonial postage rate would be reduced to twopence half- penny by any route. The a • . rentice a : ree. en damp won e • e re • nee • o • a • a crown, and the stamp on health insurance polioies and the duty on gold and silver plate would be abolished. The tipplera,who had largely_ produced the earplug, would have a chance to redeem themselves, owing to the rednotion of the tea duty by twopence per pound. (Cheers.) He opposes the abolition of the teaduty because it wag the only vehicle whereby the non-smoker and non-drinker could contribute to the revenue. The duty on currants would be reduced from 7 to 2 shillings per cwt. The increased beer duty would be taken off. The inhabited house duty would be reduced, and • all working- class tenements under twenty pounds• rent wonldabe exempt from the house - tax. (Cheers) He proposed to raise revenue for county council purposes by an increased duty of ,sixpence per gallon on spirits and threepence per barrel on beer. (Hear, hear, and Oh 1 oh 1) This would yield £1,000,000. He hoped the friende of temperance would be satisfied, and that the publicans would take a broad view of the question. Mr. Goaohen said he trusted that the budget world be recognized se an endeavor to afford relief in various direo- tions without resorting to violent mea- sures. Sir William Vernon Harcourt congratu- lated Mr. Goaohen upon the country's satis- factory financial prospect. Mr. Mundell& complained that nothing had been done for free education. Mr. Gosohen promised the subject would be dealt with at the next session. There was 110 likelihood, he said, of a general election before that, and in framing the present budget he had kept the question in view, and could already • see the, way to obtaining £500,000 for the purpose. He hoped also before he left office to deal with the currency question. Mr, Labouohero sapid Mr. Gosoben tried to please everybody and would satisfy nobody. Mr. Nolan said it was a ' model election- eering budget. Mr. Sexton said a groes injustice bad been done to Ireland, and the Parnellitea would resist the Government's proposals by every mean° in their power. Formal resolutions were adopted author- izing the proposed inoreaee of duties. The Gladetoniane disousaing the budget in the lobby called it a "dissolution budget." Men's Women.

It being 6. o'olook Mr. Speaker left the ohair. Mr. Brien resumed hie observation° in regard to the duty on nursery stook.

A New York despatch says : The Herald says it is settled that there will be more railroad building this year in the North- west Territories than for several years. A prominent gentleman hes jnst_arssved_from London, where he went to confer with the Grand Trunk•oflieials in regard to a pro- posed line from Winnipeg west to Victoria, B. C., via Vancouver Narrows and Yellow Head Pass, the route originally seleoted for the -Canadian Paoifio Railway by the Mao- kenzie Government. He says that in con- versation with the Secretary of fife Grand Trunk that gentleman made the positive assertion that snrve ' a • - the Canadian orthwestetn Territories, from Winnipeg to Viotoria, would be commenced this spring. He said the Grand Trunk and Northern Pacific would unite to build the road,and build it, too, without any nn- neceeeary delay. A. W. Rose, a member of Parliament for Manitoba, said the Hud- sonBay road will commence this fall. The Manitoba Southeastern and the Calgary &" Edmonton will start, and the Lethbridge & Montana will be oempleted, as well as the Regina & Long Lake road to Prince Albert. Mr. Wainwright, of the Grand Trunk, it is reported, denies --all knowledge of the projected work outlined above. A PITCHED BATTLE Between Kentucky Troops and a Handful of Mountaineers.• - A Harlem Court House, Ky., despatch Bays : A deadly fight occurred this morn- ing at 1.20 o'olock, 17 miles east of here, in the Blaok Mdnntains between a detach- ment of State troops, consisting of 16 privates, Lieut. Milton and Sergt. Pulliam, and about 30 outlaws, who were fortified in an old barn. Five soldiers were wounded. It is not known how many outlaws were killed, as they still have poeeeeeion of the barn. Corporal Blanton was sent in after reinforcements and knows but little, as he. left immediately after the firing began. The troops have the barn surrounded, , and it will be impossible for ,those inside to escape, me the only two roads which . lead from the place are cut off by pickets. It is believed a severe fight will take plane as soon as the additional troops reach the place, for the outlaws swear. they will not surrender and the soldiers are de- termined, and want revenge for those who have been shot down. • Worse Than an,Infldel.

He was afraid that even now it was too late. Many of the farmers would have to re -order, and thne the sellers would lose the purchase money. Mr. Mitohell remarked that there was a. precedent for the Government to act upon. When the duty on iron was increased two years ago, several importer° in Montreal were allowed to bring in iron pipe under the old scale of duties. Mr. Foeter-0nly_,.in_.the-._oaee.. of ..con-- treats. -'- Mr. Mitchell, continuing, said the Gov- ernment would show justice and discretion if they abolished the duty on fresh fruits and vegetables. Mr. Somerville observed that all the orders taken from farmers for fruit trees were in the shape of contracts, and had to ibe adhered to. The fruit growing industry was becoming a very important one in Ontarioandthe other- -Provinces, .and- the farmers were more interested than the persona who made the sales. The trees should therefore be admitted duty free. It would be a great injustice to the farmers and fruit growers if the Government exacted the duty on the stook ooming in this year. Sir Richard Cartwright remarked that this was an exceptional .case, and prece' dente vara not mwgt ng alede,r ,je- ra of •°. Hinoke, in 1871, a bounty, he believed, was paid to tea merolxante, on the ground t hat their stock was depreciated when the duty was removed. It -was of the 'greatest possi- ble benefit for Trait -growers to obtain fresh stook. In mine parts of the country fruit trees were dying out, and it was desirable to replace them with fresh stook from the United. States or somewhere. Mr. Waldie said it must be remembered that nursery stock was perishable, He did not think the loss should fall on the innp• cent dealere. - Mr, McMillan pointed out that these trees could only be imported in the spring. Farmers had to prepare the ground for -thean twee„ -a d-_ She,-vire-not-ahlest. obtain the trees when required would have to prepare the ground a second time. Mr. Foster said it was impossible to pro. mise what the tariff changes would be, and the people therefore must take their chances- With 'reference to the precedent of the tea duty, it was not analogous, and would be an extraordinary one to follow. The other case, of iron, transcended the case now under consideration. At the same. time as the change in the iron duties took place there were other ohanges. It was in the case where the goods.had actually been shipped and sales made in this oonntry that a rednotion was granted. It was im- possible to grant the remission asked and shut the door on other and far larger interests. He supposed the persons who would suffer the most would be Ameri- can nurserymen who had agents in this country. Mr. Lanriee remarked that if the duty were imposed for revenue purposes he would agree with what the Finance Minister said, but it was not so. It was imposed simply to favor a few individnale." Mr. Sowell said in changes in the tariff some persons most suffer. He could see no difference between the Daae of the nurseryman end the dry goods merchant. If it were right and proper to grant the privilege to one party because the sales wer made before the tariff was inoreaeed, i was perfectly right to allow it to anothe Mr. Foster announced additional changet the Government proposed to make on th duty on meats. The tariff 80 amended i 3 cents per pound on fresh and salt meats. He proposed to reduce salt meats to 2 cents per pound and leave fresh meats at 3 oente. There, would be nochange on mesa pork,but- the barrels would be made free. ' The discussion of these items was del ferrel. own , is country.: e urge • t • e , aye • o be removed. Mr. Foster announced the following changes in the duties on fruit trees ands graftings : Seedling stook for grafting; upon which a duty of 10 per cent. ad .glorem•• had been placed by the resolution, o put upon•the free list ; gooseberry bushel, de- creased from 2 cents to 1 cent ; grape vines ooeting 10 cents and less, from &ciente to 2: cents ; rose bushed ooeting 20 vents and less, reduced from 5 cents to 3 cents; apple trees, inoreaeed from 2 cents to 3 oenta ;. plum trees • rednoed from. 5 .oente.:.t t..3�._, _.. cents. a: The amendments were oarried. Mr. Foster moved the adoption of a binding twine duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem. Mr. Blalock said it was time there was a reduction in this duty. He moved that binding twine be planed on the free list. Mr- Watson opposed the duty on binding twine.. which bore very heavily on the Northwest. He could not nnderetand_why the Northwest could support a Governments who would impose each a duty. - :ey re- minded him of the farmer who dr ve hia- ho to market a longdiets g nos, a when he was asked how he name oat be replied,: " I did not make mnoh money, but I had a' terrible time with the hog."

Mr. McMillan said that in consequence of the heavy duty on binding twine it had beoome a serious question among farmers whether they eh$nld not throw away the binder and go back to the reaper. Mr. Bain said that the moat satisfactory thing the Government could do for far- mers would beet) make a decrease in this duty. The amendment by Mr. Mnlock was put and loot on a vote of 36 to 60. Mr. Foster's motion oarried. Mr. Foster explained that the object of increasing the duty on umbrellas .by 5 per pent. to 35 per cent. was to encourage factories. At present umbrellas were not manufactured in Canada, bat a factory was about to be established in Toronto. Sir Richard Cartwright naked what pro- portion of the`umbrellas now imported did the Government expect new factories would provide. Mr. Foster -Probably about half. Sir Richard Cartwright -Then that will cost the country $55.000, as that is half of the duty now collected. The item passed. Mr. Foster explained that it was pro- posed to increase the duty on ready-made clothing and wearing apparel by 2a cents per pound Sir Richard Cartwright eaiti this was a specific duty, and would fall heavier on the working classes. The item passed.., Mr. Foster explained that there was an increase of 2,a cents per pound on the fol- lowing articles: Manufactures composed wholly or in part of wool, worsted,.the hair of the alpaca goat or other like animals, - viz., blankets and flannels of every desorip.. tion, cloths, doeskins, caesimerea, tweeds, coatings. overcoatinge, felt oloth "of every desoription, horse -collar cloth, yarn, knittel goods, viz., shirts and drawers and hosiery, 10 Dents per ound and 20 per cent. u tit If ■.,M : .'.
