If the House carries out the intentions of the Govern- ment, certain changes will be effected in the tariff which will affect any estimate that might be made. 'Suffice it' to say' that the revenue for next year, on the basis of what I can estimate at present, will be in the neighborhood of $37,500,000. The details I can scarcely give now, but I will -have a little more to say about thein by -and -bye. So 'much with reference to the eoniliifoii�rf` our finances. • TARIFF REVISION. • It is now necessary to look' at the whole question as it affects the policy of the Gov- ernment.. If 'we yield to the demand for free sugar we will have to face a reduction of. $3,675,000, which was. the revenue re- ceived in 1889 ; but taking the average of three years, $3,500,000. This is a difficult question for the Government to face. .While we have on the one hand a desire to give cheap sugar to the masses, we have on the other hand the necessity of preserv- ing the balance between revenue and ex- penditure.- The Government has looked at the whole question, and upon two conditions have come i o the conclusion to sweep away with one stroke of the pen from the burdens of the people $3,500,000.0 taxation Mr. Mills (Bothwell) ---Will alli sugar be placed upon the free list 2 • Mr. Foster -You must not 'expect all sugar without some• bitter mixed with it. While we, propose to give up $3,500,000; we ask for $1,500,000. 'lhe•question now is as to how we can best do 'this. It has been urged that we should tax‘r•ne1 ee, • but while that may be the policy 4if'the Liberals, we propose to leave the breakfast • table free. Instead of doing that; we propose to make the breakfast table a freedom in reality, to keep coffee free, to 'keep tea free, and give sugar free as Well; and we look to adifferent souree . for raising the million and a half; where. we think -it can be raised most easily with the least burden to most of the people, and we hope this will be satisfactory, to the' people at large. I propose to ask that the House, consent to the imposition of 1 cent per pound on malt. The addition of 1 cent per pound will acid,, so far as_ my. calculation goes, 3 cents in value to every gallon •of •beer, and I ask the brewers and nialtsters, wholesale sellers and retail sellers, and if need be the drinkers, to divide • this :'3 cents between them and make an easy and pleas- ant face about it. This I find, by last year',s. cgnsuntptioti of malt, will give in the neigh- borhood of $`500,000. Fin. fear there should be'.any jealousy in this !natter, I purpose' to ask the distillers to consent to the imposi- tion, of a slight increase in the excise duty upon distilled spirits, which will , add but very little, 20 cents to the,gallon, to the cost of the article, and if it is necessary I want the distillers and wholesale selle : ,. lid retail •sellers, and if it be necessary the "hikers, to divide this equitably between th:m and make a pleasant face abbut that same , ; r- ation. That, upon the basis of last. 's output, will give about $600,000, ane en let me put something. upon our luxuries. I am going to ask our' tobacco smokers to submit to 5 cents per pound as excise, and some more upon ,the import duty, making $400,000 and this added will give a million and a half. With the imposition of it minion and a half in this way the mass of the people will not find fault, when we pro- pose to remit to the people the sugar duties of three and a half millions. • I am not. here to say that I believe in the in- troduction'of the bounty system in Canada, with the idea . that it will be possible for us under f¢ir conditions and with out too much burden on the people to make the culture of beet root and sugar therefrom a success in this country. I am not unmindful of the fact that there are in Quebec one or' two, beet root factories, which have started in good faith into the culture of beet root and into the produc- A - Boston despatch says : During the regular Monday meeting of Baptist ministers in Chapel hall this forenoon, Rev. J. B. Stoddard addressed the •conference at. its suggestion upon the influence of secret societies upon thit church,; and in the course once remarks strongly denouncetl'-MRsomy, declaring that when a menswears allegiance to it, he swears allegiance to a code antago- nistic to God. Rev. Mr. Cleveland, of Melrose; who was in the audience, arose to a point of order, and with suppressed emotion said : " I am a"Mason, and have listened to. this scathing stigmatism of the order in patience, but I f cannot -listen to this unjust and' uncalled-for abuse." Chairman Noxiom put the question to the meeting on sustaining the point of girder; and it was defeated 50 to 7. Instantly Mr. Cleveland rose, and addressing' the secretary said : ” I request that you drop my name from the roll of membership of this Confer- ence. I do not care to be a member of any body that refuses to sustain any' decent point of.order." Then taking his hat he •left the' hall, and Mr. Stoddard finished his • address. _ /I'ItE BACCARAT CEiEBRITIES. Society Treats Cuntnain ,Well' and Begins to Think Better of Wales. A London cable says : Sir William Gor- don Cuniming's defence in the baccarat case, wherein he proposed ,to explain how he was suspected, has been suppressed by the advice of friends. Sir William finds his social rela- tions the same as ever. The appearance of Sir William as a candidate for Parliament in the next election is being arranged for. He is now writing sporting and military reminiscences. Sir William's charge against Chief Justice Coleridge of -gross . partiality did not refer alone to incidents in the trial. Behind what took place in court something occurred which inspired the accusation. While aristocratic circles are willing to show . themselves oblivious of Sir William's fault, there is a popular reaction in favor of the Prince of Wales." • ' "Sick and Tired of Life." A Croton Landing, N. Y., despatch says : A well-dressed woman, apparently 20 years yesterday of age, committed suicide by , jumping from a brick, wharf at this/place. A note was found in a perfumery bottle in her pocket, and read as follows : " I am sick and tired of life, and if my body is found I should ;like to be buried in the Tarrytown cemetery." The initial � " M " was signed to the note. It is thought the girl came from1Tarrytown. The body was subsequently recognized as that of Dolly Davis, an actress, and the adopted daughter of J. Charles Davis, a theatrical manager, She had been compelled to leave the stage temporarily because of a sprained ankle, and was depressed inspirits. 'The Ripper Trial.

The nominal expenditure and nominal taxation is, under. the protective system,,no measured burthen on the people. (Applause.) Everyiutelligentprotectioltist, if there are any such, must admit twice as much is taken from the people under the protective ,system as goes to the public treasury. In many cases for every dollar that goes: into the treasury from three to ten are taken from the people, whilst in other cases ndt one cent .goes into the treas- ury. There could be no better illustration of this than the great boon the Minister of Finance proposes to give the people of Can- ada by his imaginary reduction of sugar duties. Had he said that the Government had a large surplus, and in view of the action of the United States were going to give the people of Canada free sugar, he would compliment him ; but he had done nothing 9f the kind, and has had the assur- ance to tell us that the Government pro- poses, to restore to the people $3,500,000. The Government do not propose to do any- thing of the kind, What they propose to do is to make two millions a preselit,to Senator Drummond. 'ea • f • 4 n a d r r f 0 f e e e r. It . is well known that the sugar rs_ar`e the largest contributors to the corruption fund which helps to�keep the Government in' power. Verily they were wise in their generosity, and verily they have their reward.. Here we have an evidence of the • maximum of 'loss to the public . treasury and the maximum of advantage to the combinsters. Are we to. have a free breakfast table ? No, sir... Raw sugar is to be impor a ree, ut-upon every .pound ' of imported 'sugar the people are to pay $-T6 -of' a -'cent per 'Ib: •1"'This amounts on 22#,000,000 lbs. to $1,800,000, or nearly two million dollars. 'The people are topay that sum not to the treasury, but for the benefit of a few who keep up the in- dustry which employs 400 or 500 hands. This is the boon the Government proposes. I do not object to the increased tax upon tobacco, whiskey and beer, although I can recollect when such a proposition would have aroused a' cry on behalf of the poor man's beer. His' first ' advice was to economize the expenditure. He diel not' believe that it was necessary or businesslike to expend $1,400,000 in public works. He did not belt�ve it was necessary to spend nearly $1,000;000 in maintaining the Indians ill the Northwest, 'nor to maintain the mounted police up there .at a large cost. There were innumerable cases in which use- ful and valuable economies might be prat= tised. • , Then the excise duties might be in- creased, as the hon. gentleman had shown that afternoon. Under the scheme of the Liberal party there.was no question of ad- ditional taxes at all. It was a pureques- tion of substitution at,the worst. To -day the farmers are taxed by the`Dominion Gov- ernment and by conibinesters on altnost everything they buy. Unrestricted reci- procity would save these taxes to the farm- ers, and they would be gainers by :sixteen millions. The Government' urge their own extravagance as a reason why we cannot have unrestricted reciprocity. It is a good rule of law that a man cannot plead his own wrongdoing. They also should be stopped from doing so. ' Free trade with the United States would add $30 to the value of every horse in Canada', and thereby put $37,000,000 into the pockets of the farmers. We have 22,000,000 of acres of land in Ontario Which would be increased in value $10 an acre by reciprocity. That item a)'one would increase the valve of farms by $200,000,000. Th&only way to make atone- ment to the farmers is by obtaining reei- prdcity with the United States, and there- fore he begged leave to move in amendment, " That 'Mr. Speaker do not leave ,the chair, but that all words after that' be struck out, and that it be resolved that the Gov- ernment' should forthwith reduce all duties on articles of prime necessity, • and more . particularly on those most gen- erally consumed by artisans, miners, fishermen and, ,farmers ; and' further, that the negotiations which the House has been informed are to be opened in Washington in October' next should be conducted on the basis of the most extended reciprocal trade between Canada and the United States in manufactured as well as natural pry, ducts." Mr. Foster said that they would go into n the resolutions on 'I h silo concurrence o b �' y, when the amendment could be moved. Mr. 'i'tipper introduced , a Bill to amend the Act respecting Government harbors, piers and breakwaters. He explained that the object of the Bill wty�g to give the Crown the right to recover harllor clues. Atter Recess. t Y e if t. y s 11 0 m d h 71 s ' imported empty. u a tf at Y p Sir Richard Cartwright complimented Mr. Foster at the , outset on the methodical arrangement Of his budget, and remarked that the facts and figure's which had been fairly and reasonably presented to the Hoose were tolerably familiar to the mem- bers, for theywere to be found in the trade and navigaton returns; in the estimates laid on the table, and in the public accounts. Why, asked Sir Richard, is it that the hon. gentleman 'has come down' to -day and has proposed to abolish, not the duties on sugar, as I shall presently show to the House, but the duties on' the raw material ? Was it because the hon. gentleman had been , con- vinced that it was in the interests of the public to do so? Vas it because the hon. gentleman wished to do so ? Not a bitof it, sir, but it is because • the. United States l Government had taken Similar legiiotion about a year ago. In humble obedience and subservience to them he follows their exam- ple. The decreases and the increases in the estimates of 1892 very nearly balanced each other, and the House would do well to notice,one curious fact about then-, and it was that whereas the reductions that the hon. gentleman; had made were purely temporary, the increases were all likely to The follldwing private bills were read a remain permanent. • After all was said and third time : done, why should our hon. friend desire a .
