'THE BUDGET SPEECH.
On presenting to Parliament his
budget speech, the lion. G, E. Foster,
Minister of Finance, occupied nearly
live hours—in the course of which he
reviewed the effects of the National
Policy during the fourteen or fifteen
years since its inception,—contrasting
in boldfigures the present prosperity
of Canada, its increasing trade and fi-
nancial surplus, with the depressed
condition of our country in 1878-79 as
evidenced by its limited trade and rol-
ling up deficits, It would be quite im-
possible to do full justice to the]i'inance
Minister's able and eloquent array of
statistics; but for the sake of our read-
ers, who may not be favored with a
copy of the budget speech in extensor
we glean a few of the more salient
points in what we regard as one of the
most 'important financial statements
ever delivered on the floor of parlia-
ment, The old state arguments
against the National Policy were effec-
tively answered and disposed of by the
Hon. Mr. Foster, in his usual clear and
incisive manner, by exhibiting the
enormous impetus given to home in-
dustries and native manufactures; and
as a result of the National Policy, in
the encouragement given to our own
people to remain within our borders
where they enjoy peace and a fair
measure of prosperity as compared
with other countries, and particularly
the neighboring republic. Take as an
illustration this one. fact—whereas, in
1878, the savings of the people were,
represented in government and other
banks by 587,000,000,—there were
on the 28th of February 1894, to the
credit of the people the sum of $242,-
645,358! Then as to the tariff, it was
shown that taken as a whole our duties
were remarkably moderate compared
with other protected countries—not ex-
ceeding on an average up to the pres
ent time 17i per cent. Many of our
imports which enter into daily con-
sumption have long been admitted free
-such as tea, coffee, sugar, ' &c.—on
which millions of dollars have been an-
nually saved to the people. The prin
ciple on which the Liberal Conserva-
ative government has proceeded in the
past, and will continue to act in the fu-
ture, has been to tax luxuries—and to
reduce or admit wholly free from tax-
ation the necessaries of life;—while, to
encourage home industry and home
competition, a necessary duty was laid,
on goods imported from abroad which
can be raised or manufactured at
home, To show the different state of
things under the former regime of 187S
and that since the introduction of the
National Poliey,—the Liberals when
in power taxed our tea at five and six
cents per lb;—whereas under the N. P
that has been taken off; coffee they
taxed at two and three cents per lb.,
where under the N. P. that tax was re-
moved; on anthracite coal the tax at
the beginning of the N. P. was fifty
cents per ton; which was taken off in
1887 and has been free ever since; three
years ago the duty on raw sugar was
wholly remitted; coal oil duty has been
reduced one half; and so of many oth-
er articles,
But the charges now proposed in the
modification of the present tariff will
still further benefit the great bulk of
our people, and it will be especially
gratifying to the farming com-
munity to be informed that, while
the present goverment have all along
shown solicitude for the agricultural
interests, in conserving for them the
home market and opening up channels
for exporting farm products to Great
Britain and foreign countries, the new
tariff now submitted to parliament pro-
vides for further lightening the burthen
of taxation so far as the farming coin-
munity are concerned. By the new
tariff, farm products are still to be pro-
tected—while certain changes have
been made such as reducing live ani
mals from 30 to 20 per cent; live hogs
Loin 2 cents per lb. to 25 per cent;
fresh mutton from 3 to 2 cents per lb;
canned meats, to 25 per cent ad valorem;
and with regard to grains and certain
other products, such as buckwheat, rye
flour, beans, peas, hay, potatoes, ap-
ples and vegetables, while the duty on
. these are left very much as before, pro
vision is made in the new tariff for ad-
mitting all those products free from
any country, that will impose no duty
on such products going from Canada.
Thus the offer of reciprocity is held out
by the government to the United
States, or any other country, that feels
disposed to treat with us on freer
terms of interchange of commodities.
On the article of iron, the government
propose a prospective reduction of du'
to come. An itnportuiit reduction has
been made on agricultural implements
by which a cut of nearly' one half in
the duty is proposed. This will tell in
the next general election, as also the
statement made by members of Opposi-
tion that the government has "stolen
their clothes"!
It will be seen from the above mea-
gre and imperfect sketch of the budget
speech by the Finance Minister, that
while the new tarriff will prove a re-
lief to the tax bearing portion of the
community—and particularly to the
farming population—the ground on
which the present government, and the
Liberal Conservative party, have de
cided to take their stand in the inter-
ests of Canada is the principle of a
moderate protection, such as will main-
tain financial integrity and at the
same time yield to the demands of the
people by modifying the tariff from
time to time "according to the circum-
cumstances of iudustry and the condi-
tions of business and trade at the pres-
ent time."
