' Mr. Cartwright delivered his budget epeeeh
in the House on Friday night, which comprised
not merely an exposition of thii-palicy of the
Government at the present time, but a defence
of their policy in the past, and a review. of
the financial history of the Dominion's first
decade; terminating.on the 30th of June., 187,7.
It will be observed that he hopes to meet all
the Public engagements of tha country with-
out any, addition to the burden of taxation.
He adheres to the principle of iinpoeing no
taxes beyond those which may be absolutely
necesaary to meot the re.qturemeete of the
publici eerviee. • -Ile referred, in the first in-
stance, to the foreshadowing of coming events
in his speech as a private member of the House
in 1878, and hieviesdription of the embarrass -
Monte surrounding the advent of the preterit
Government to Office in the financial state.,
ment of 1874. 'Vet, .even. on those occasions,
he had not fully; estimated the effects of the
previously existing period of inflation, or the
reaction that ensiled thereupon. The total
value of trade, allowing for the admission of
Prince Edward. had fallen not less that
fifty Millions under. the influence of the de-
pression, and this too notwithstanding the,
growth Of populittion end increased area of
territory under cultivation, representing a na.
tural. increase under ordinary and favorable
ciretimetancieti of soma thirty or forty millions
more. At the garde Sine the revenue fie*
Outflows had. decreased by a trifle over three
/Wilhite of dollars, while the .tetal Value of
importk had been reduced. by one-third. The
population had increased by one•nintb, the ri3:.
*nit being a per octpita reduCtionnf imports of.
.front $35k to $25? per head. Had the im-
ports contuiderl at theft fornaer ratio the prim. -
tint ingenue of the Dominion would have been
defile twenty-seiren millions; whereas now
very slightly exceeded twenty-two millione.
The strain had been severe. It bad visited,
not only ourselves but 'ottr best cuetomers;
slid in fact the whole world. But it WAS
Elatisfaotorif to Mark the turning of the tide as
exhibited in the improved' 'revenue return a of
the past envoi) months AR compared with the
corresponding period of 1876-7. In the seven
months ending the 10bh of February, 1878,
the reienua amounted to 818,434,235,_ anti in
the proVieac year to $12,494,279—an inerease
of nearly a million in seven months. Of this
some 8201),000 might bC dilti to the iniporta-
Rens arisniE; out ef the fire at St. John, but
then, on the other hand, the very extraordi.
nary character of the iteaaon had been excep,
tionally unfavorable. Turniog to the expett.
dittate of1877, it weuld he seen that in Civil
Government there had be#011, a total expendi•
tare of $8121 or $71,000. leee than in 1878-4.
Trio chargi for anperanuationit- amounted in
1877 to $104,000, The additions -to the
eharge for inperanuationa had- been largely
