Mr. Mowat moved the House into Com-
mittee of Supply to consider the financial'
estimates for the current year.
Mr. Harcourt, who was loudly cheered on
said : For the second time,- Mr.
Speaker, I ask the indulgence of the House
while, as briefly and as clearly as I can, I
discuss first the financial operations of the
Province for the year just closed, and,
secondly, take a prospective view of the
operations of the year upon which- we are
now entering. I will first speak very briefly
of our receipts. We estimated to receive
during the year from ordinary sources
0,298,822. We actually teceived 707,750,
so ;that we have an excess nf receipts over'
our estimate to the amount of $28,248. {

;
about 8575,000 a year. An increase
population adds to our expenditure, , aur
cost of government, while on the c ntrary
it brings, because of the increased onsump-
tion of dutiable goods, additional ieyenue
to the Federal treasury. Our receipts from
Crown lands, exceed our estimate by the
considerable sem of $59,682. Since 1872,
the year when our honored. leader became
Premier, the gross receipt-B*0m the Crown
Lands Department have wounted to $17,-
253,250, or an average for the tveenty years,
including 1891, of $862,662 per year, The
largest sum during any one year was re-
ceived in 1872, the amount being
$1,437-372 ; the smallest receipt, viz.,
8445,273, wee that ef the year 1878. In various
ways the province has directly appropriated
to and -spent in, assisting railway construc-
tion about '1,000,000, besides' indirect
appropriation by payments to municipalities
under the Municipal Loan Fund settlemene
of $1,336,997. This very liberal measure of
aid stimulated enterprise on the part of the
municipalities, the result being municipal
subsidies amounting to about 8'14,000,000.
We have completed since Confederation
4,450 miles of railway. Last year we made
payments in aid of twenty railways; this
year the list is reduced to fourteen.
In 1898 there will be only, eight, while
in 1904, only twelve years from now,
the solitary survivors of this long and
honored list of provincial pensions will be
the Port Arthur, Dithith & Western Rail-
way and the Peery Sound Colonization
Railway. Remembering the enormous load
oC obligations Already discharged, this
glance into the future, with its rapidly
diminishiag burden, is certainly reassuring.
The last item of our receipts, to which I will
refer, namely, $500,900 received from the
Dominion Government, calls forsome special
remark. Our expenditure for the year in-
cluded, I have said, some very large
itexns, special aucl exceptional in their
character. We paid, for exatnple, $100,000
to Toronto University, being, part of the
6160,000 unanimously voted to it by the
HOuse to assiet in- restoring the bhilding,'
.which was partially destroyed by fire. We
also paid $47,115 to the municipalities on
account of the land improvement fund, and
$32,750 to county house s of refuge. We
loaned $63,000 to different municipalities on
drainage debentures. The sum given to the
university I mighte-call an emergency ex-
penditure, the first, and we sincerely hope
the last of the kind ever to be made by the
Province. The payments to the munici-
palities on account of the land improve;
ment fund is an advance made for their
benefit and relief, for which the Province
will be recouped when the open accounts
between the Dominion and the Provinces
are adjusted. The payment to the county
houses of refuge is also new and excep-
tional. Our expenditure on capital account,
on the new asylums at Orillia and Mimico,
and on the new Parlia,ment buildings., was
also exceptionally large& reaching in all
$368,937. , Because of all tills extraordinary
outlay we asked the Dominion Government
to make to the Province a payment on
account of the debt due us. The matters
in dispute between the Province and the
Dominion • have been narrowed from
time to time, and there is admittedly
a large sum due us. Our request
was met in a friendly, busness-like
way, and we promptly received from
the Dominion 8500,000 in 4 per cent

Mr. Clancy, in reply, said he 'exceedingly
regretted that owing to the ill,health of his
hon. friend from Toronto the task of mak-
ing some observations on very short notice
had develeed upon him. He wished, in
the short time at his disposal, merely to
enter his protest, and reiterate the protest
made from his side of the House, at the man-
ner in which hoh. gentlemen had conducted
the affairs of the Province. The House was ,
certainly not to be congratulated on the
statement the hon. genteleman made he
to -day, but he (the Treasurer) was to be co
gratulated, not on • having followed he th
lines and footsteps of his predecessors, but o
the cheerful and light-hearted way in whic
he had undertaken the task of presenting th
dreary old bill of fare. They were to -day a
usual confronted with the usual deficit, an
no apology whatever was made orx,it.XI'he
took the usual failure on th p f th
Province, it might be of his hon. friend, t
be that they were unable tee meet the obli
ations which the Peovince had been ob
iged to make from year to year. They had
Iso the usual borrowing of money to meet
he obligations, and they had the usual old
aperesurplus presented, to them to -day.

Mr. Clancy then contended :that these
nds were in reality only worth their par
lue. Continuing, ha said that sums owing
the Dominion should not be capitalized
show a surplus any more than the Crown
nds and the timber limite and other re-
urces should be capitalized. If the imagin-
y mount held by the Dominion were sub -

would be found te be$729,150, with the sum
