.0anada's Budget.
Hon ly S Fielding presented his
budget speech on Tuesday. He noted
the fact, generally understood now,
that the public accounts were for
fiscal period of nine months end
Maa•cli 31, This broken period, brought
about by the change in the fiscal year,
made it somewhat ;difficult to make
comparisons between nine months and
the former fiscal ' years of twelve
months He was Wad th saY,hoWever.
that the results of the fiscal period
were iiornewhat more favorable than
he had anticipated. The estimated re-
venue had been $0.5,000,000 -it was ac-
tually $67,909,323 -an excess overthe
estimates of $2,969,328 He had estim-
ated the expenditureat $52,000 000,and
it had proven to be4 $51,542,169; or
$457,838 less than the estimates. The
surplus he had estimated would be $13-
000,000, but he had to report an actual
, cash surplus for the nine months of
nearly sixteen and one-half millions-
• or, to be exact, $16,427,167. In other
Nerds, the surplus fornine months
was larger than the surplus of any fis-
cal year an the history of Canada since
confederation. •
Here are some of the striking exhib-
its made by Mr Fielding in conclusive
evidence at to the statesmanlike and
successful financial adniinistratioti of
the•Laurier Government:- • •
In the year since 1896, during which
he has held the • office of Minister of
Fitiancethe net debt increase has been
only $5,174.427, ani the debt Per head.
of population has decreased frotn $50.-
87 in 1897, the high water mark of the
Fostee method of finance to $42.84 in
A surplus of revenue over all expend-
iture on consolidated fund account
amounting to $16,427,167 for -the fiseat
period of nine months ending Mar
31st last, a larger surplus than for any
fiscal year Since Confederation.
A surplus of total revenue over total
expenditure forthelast-fiscal-period-of
$2,198,971, and a decrease in the public
debt of $3 371,117.- •
In the ten and three-quarter years'
of the present .a,drciinisttation ending
N(trchhst, the amount spent on capi-
tal account reached the enormous total
.of $127,000,000, the public., service in
every department had been greatly ex-

public debt had been increased by

Would have been a substantial reduc-
tion in the public debt.
