The Exeter Advocate, 1893-3-2, Page 4DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
Sir john Thompson moved that the Reuse
adjourn to -morrow, and attend. Adjourned
until Thursday at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Denison, for Mr. McCarthy, intro,
dueled the bin to emend the Northwest
Territory Ad.
Gries of "Explain, explain."
Mr. Denison—I may gay it is the mune
bill Which was introduced last year.
Mr. Hughes—Can the hon. gentleman
say when tee bill will come up tor second
reading
Mr. Choquette—Next year. (Laughter.)
Mr, Oosbigan introduced a bill to amend
the Civil Service Act.
Mr. Feiner, in allover to Mr. Rowend,
who asked what effect the quarantine regu-
labion lately adopted by the Americen Gov-
ernment egieinet Cenvelien cattle would
have in sending cattle in bond to Beaton or
ether seaports for shipment to the British
market, said the United States quarantine
regulation, as published in the newspapers,
of whioh the Canadian Government had not
been officially notified, would not admit of
beef amble being carried across the frontier
except at the quarantine port of Buffalo.
Canadian cattle could therefore not be tient
in bond to Boston for shipment unless a
transit arrangemeat was established similar
to that by evletoh American cattle can pass
through Ontario from went to east, framone
United States porb to another.
Mr. Davin moved that the duty on barbed
wire, on agricultural implements, on coal
oil, end on cotton should be reduced, so as
to give no more than reasonable protection,
and that the duty on binder twine should
be abolished. This was not necessarily a
motion of wane of confidence in the Govern-
ment. He was a supporter of the Govern-
ment and a believer in the National Policy.
There were three kinds of tariff—
pure revenue tariff, moderate protective
tariff, or a tariff that woald be exclusive
amd that would be, if there was not direct
taxation, a reductio ad absurdum.
Mr. Moncrieff, continuing the debate
upon the question of the propceed reduction
of duties quoted figures to show that in
several &tee of the Uaion coal oil sold as
high as 30 cents a gallon. If the duty was
:removed. the Standard company will have
the entire field to themselves, and will im-
mediately raise the price of oil in Canada.
Competitien had brought the price of oil in
Canada as low as possible.
Mr. Macdonald (Huron) said he had no
axes to grind, and spoke from a national
standpoint. He was influenced by no
monopoly either in the United States or in
Canada, and that he thought was a little
more than his hon. friend who had just
spoken could say. He had looked into this
matter thoroughly, and had come to the
conclusion that in the interests of the Cana-
dian consumer, and three fourths of the
. House had come to the same conciusion,
. the duty on coal oil was too high.
Mr. Edgar moved the adjournment of the
debate.
The Budget.
Mr. Foster, in moving the House into
Committee of Ways and Means, said: Mr.
.Speaker, I desire to state that in March
last, when I had the honor of making my
financial statement in this House, I esti-
mated that the revenue that would be
given to us during that year would be, for
Customs, $20,500,000. The actual receipts
were $20.501,059, being the very slight ex-
cess of $1,059. Excise was eatimated at
• $7,000,000, and the actual receipts ware
67,945,097, an excess of $945,097. Mis-
cellaneous was estimated at $8,265,000, and
yielded $8,475,715, an excess ot $21,715. So
that, whereat the total estimate at that
period was over $36,665,000, the total re-
ceipts were $36,921,871, being an excess of
receipts over estimates of $256,871. The
total then for 1891-2 was $36,921,871, as
compared with the total of $38 579,310 in
a890-1, being a total falling off of
.$1,657,439.
From the following articles decreased
duties were received: Brass, and manu-
factures of, $15,563 ; breadstuff's, $139,557 ;
bricks and tiles, $11,963 ; coffee, and manu-
factures of, $20,709 ; cotton, and manu-
factures of, $20,802 ; embroideries, not
,otherwise provided for, $13,715;; musical in-
' atraments $&320; butter, cheese lard and
meats, $1:01,753 ; salt, 7,991 ; tobacco and
manufactures of, 655,308; watches and
parts of, $19,158 ; wood and manufactures
of, $10,888.
In making the oluenge in the tariff in
June, 1891, I estimated a loss upon the
consumption of sugar of the two preceeding
years of $3,500,000 in our revenue. I
estimated a gain from the excise duties of
$500,000 in malt, $600,000 in spirits, and
6400,000 in tobaccos. The increase baguet
come up to the estimates. The increase
gained in malt was $339,94; in spirits,
4329,610 ; in tobacco the estimate was ex-
ceeded—whereas the estimate was $00,000,
the increase has been 6514,140; the total
increase accruing from these increased ex-
cise duties is $1,183,674. In order to offset
• these increased excise duties to some extent
the duties of customs upon liquore were
slightly increased; but this result was not
to increase the revenues, for although we
received an increase in ale and porter of
627,136, and in spirits and wines of $12,874,
we had a decrease in imported tobaccos of
656,310; so that the totel decrease in cus-
toms amounts to $16,298, so far as these
goods are concerned. Therefore, as regards
the inoreases and losses which were esti-
aliened, the revenue has gained less from the
impositions upon the matte and spirits, and
we have lost more than was estimated by
taking off the duties upon sugar on account
of the increased consumption. It is very
'probable that in taking off the duties upon
raw 'sugar we have remitted to this country
upon the actual necessary consumption, of
sugar in the neighborhood of $4,000,000
during the past year.
I come now to speak for a few moments of
the expenditre during the past year. The
estimated expenditure of March of last year
was $36,600,000, the actual expenditure was
.$36,765,894, an increase over the preceding
year of $422,327. Thee is, the nebula ex-
penditure on consolidated fund account last
year, when taken from the total revenue of
last year, left a small, but at the same time
convenient, surplus to the amount of
4155,977. About three or four yams ago
,predicted that we had arrived at a period
when we should call a halt to an increase
of the debt.. That prophecy was literally
fulfilled up to the pasb year. It could not
be fulfilled after that, became we took off
Mathieu of our revenue in remitting taxa-
tion to the people, and consequently had to
.draw on loans for a certain amount of our
mapital expenditure.if, however, we
had kept the duty on (sugar, instead of
.adding to the capital debt of the country
we would not only have wiped off that
.aceretion but have actually diminished
the debt by about $2,000,000. Bo
that the promise made of not inereaeing
the debt Was Made open a set of ciroutn‘
,eitances then existing, and that ie has not
been literally fulfilled this peer is because
the Government thoughb it better to reinit
this enortimus amount of taxation to the
•peOple, and to melte the people of the
future pay a proportion of the amount
neceseary for the tepitel works of the
country, over and above what we could
,epend and spare out of the corneae revenue.
The Tariff.
wish to titans a few things in reference
to the tariff and the tariff poliey. No man
with his eyes open will think for a moment
of denying the fact that there Is more or
leas agitation in reference to the tariff trade
of this qounery. Several things have COW+
spired to make agitation and thought upon
the tariff deeper to -day than it has been for
a number of years he this country. VVill
the House permit me to mention a few of
them ? In the 'fleet place, there is a
difference of view in the metier of trade
which has existed over since we have been
a country, which became s, point of cleavage
in 1878 between those who believed that
free trade was the proper policy for this
country and those wno believed that a
timid' for wevenue purposes, for incidental
probeetion'was the thingfor this country,
making the revenue a prima consideration
mid distributing it to as to incidentally
protett resources of : the country. We
don't expect that because in 1878 one school
of thought triumphed and concentrated its
influence in the tariff whieh was then framed
and which 13ecame law in 1879, we don't
expect that the other schools of thought
have g vele up their thoughts and feelings
and that the same feeling to a lug° exten'
is nourished by those different cheeses of tne
country much as tS 1879. There have been
men who believed in free trade that have
come to believe in protection, and may be
it has happened that some who believed in
protection have come to believe in free trade.
The first question from my hon. friend
opposite is, will the Government adopt free
trade. My answer is, "No." (Hear, hear.)
And I know I disappoint my hon. friends,
whose guiding star has been free trade.
There are some considerations why the
Government noes not propose to adopt free
trade? First, the requirements of the
revenue'a stronger man than I am, a deeper
thinker than my hon. friend (Sir Richard
Cartwright), a man who in mental power
towers amongst the beide from the stand-
point of hon. gentleman oppositeechallenged
any man to show how in this country now,
or for many years to come, any scheme of
free trade could be adopted which could be
worked, and stated his conviction that the
circumstances of the country precluded its
adoption and precluded direct taxation,
which must necessarily follow on its
adoption. The requirements of the
revenue then prevented it. Twenty-eight
millions outside of savings have to be raised
for the current services of the country. I
invite hon. gentlemen opposite to show how
much and wherein they will make a saving
so as to reduce that amount by any very
large sum. Small savings can be and are
being made. I ask how $20,000,000 of
Customs revenue can be raised under free
trade with tae world or any great country
in the world? I say there is another reason
why this country cannot adopt free trade
at the present time. It is on account of
our industries and general development of
our resources. Here we have, under a
system adopted earlier than 1878, so far as
incidental protection is concerned, and
since 1878 so far as absolute and direct
protection is concerned, developed large
and varying interests. Nobody denies that.
A vested capital of $353,000,000, employees
numbering 368,000 men, a yearly wage of
$100,000,000, a development of the wealth
of the country of $90,000,000 a year—these
are facts stated in the cold figures
of the census. This development of in-
dustry has gone on for years. M has
reached a certain point. It cannot be (sacri-
ficed, neither has it reached that 'point that
unaided it can stand the competition of
such countries as Great Britain and the
United States with their centuries of
wealth, great skill, enormous markets,great
productions whioh find the markets of the
world in such great quantities, so that this
has to be taken into account. Our indus-
tries have kept the population of this
country. (Ironical cheers from the Opposi-
tion and counter cheers from Conservativee.)
Yes, they have kept the population of this
country, which otherwise would have left
it. (Laughter from the Opposition and ap-
plause from Conservatives.) They are
keeping to -day in this country an increasing
number of hand in employmenb, an
increasing number of men distributing
benefits in the way of wages to production.
I do not need to state further that the
development of these industries has gone on
rapidly and widely since 1878. Let each
member of this House compare his own
observation and experience in 1878 with his
observatien and experience of to -day, and
he will see that verities of articles are manu-
factured in Canada to -day that were not
manufactured then. Let him look over
the whole field, and his experience teaches
him that while in some casee there have
been failures, on the whole a great start has
been made in the manufacturing industries
of the country, and a great start in de-
veloping in that way the resources of the
country. Not only have our industries in-
creased, but every mill that is started,
every refinery run, every cotton spindle
working, every industry which works up
raw material, helped to add to the wealth
of the country at large, and thereby every
sober, intelligent class of the com-
munity is benefited. These items lead on
to the conclusion, and I think will lead the
House to the conclusion that we are not
ready to adopt free trade and to open up
these industries, nurtured from 1878, it is
true, and at the present time aided by a
reasonable and, I hope, sufficient protection,
to the unlimited competition of old manu-
facturing countries like Great Britain and
the United States, whereby our industrial
employrnennwould be swept away, with all
the noes and misery that would
accrue. A strong agitation has
been brought to the notice of theGovernment
with reference to oils. We leave heard that
question debated in this House recently.
Hon. gentlemen on both sides of the House
have taken, diverse positions withh regard to
it. No cool, reasonable man on either side,
having looked thoroughly into it, CRII come
to any other conclusion than that it is a
most difficult question. (Derisive laughter.)
I am not going into the merits of that dis-
cussion. After the hon. gentlemen who
understand it have spoken in the House on
the merits of the question, it should be
fairly well understood, and what the Gov -
eminent propose to do, after having thought
the matter over very carefully, is to propose
to this House that the transport shall be
free, and that the straight duty shall
remain for the present As it is.
(Hear, hear.) In that way the ab-
normal, the hidden protection, so to speak,
will be taken away, and the transport will
be left free, and at the same time a suffi-
cient protection will be left to the industry
to conserve it for the present, I hope, One
other question hot been pressed upon the
Government, the duty upen binder twins
(Hear, hear.) This hail been complained of
especially. by certain 'sections, by the farm-
ing ORBS ablest as a unit. The industry In
thie country gives eneployment to several
hundreds. I have, examined into it, and
so far as I oan stunk is not a foreign
monopoly, however strong and very aloes
may have been or to some extent are at the
present time the reletione between the two.

Sir' Richard. Cantwrighb, on rising to
epeak after recess, Was greeted with hoed
applause from the Liberal benches. He
said At any time and under any possible
circumstances, the annual exposition, or
even annual reaffirmation, of the financial
policy of the Government is, a flueteer of
considerable interest to all classes of the
community. On the preeent occasion, when,
es Minister Foster has correctly stated;
there is a feeling of unreEst and disquiet per-
vading the entire 'community, it is, no
doubt, an °maiden of more than usual
interest. To us who have been in the habit
of listening to that gentleman, it was rather
a remarkable absence of what I must cell
the braggadocio in respect to the N. Po
and the characteristic thetas at our friends
on this aide of the hoitse. There
was also a most complete absence
of this tone flung morose the
floor, bidding thein bow to the will of the
people, and assuring theni that the N. P.
was so riveted in the hearts of the people
that any attempt to disturb it would be
vain. A change has come. The hon. gen-
tleman has had a vision, or, possibly, he
may bave dreamed a dream, that the
leader of the Young Conservatives has
declared that we are being annexed by job
lots. Possibly he may have heard of a
gentleman in the House who used to be
designated the brains of the party, blas-
pheming the holy tariff, and speaking, evil
words against even the sacred gerrymander
heat Possibly he is aware that the farm-
ers are kicking against the wise and
merciful provisions of the tariff and pos.
sibly he is also aware that every inde-
pendent and not sufficiently subsi-
dized piper is also crying out against
its provisions. Under decent circum-
stances I can well understand that our
political Vicar of Bray is at a loss to find
out whab are the powers that be. I under-
stand that the business of a professional
philanthropist is to make everybody else
richer. We have had fourteen years'
experiment of making ourselvea collectively
richer, by increasing the tariff, and what
have been the results of that tariff ? That
there has been a widespread feeling that
the whole N. P. has been from
first to last one egregious fraud, is
what men say whenever they meet
to -day. All Canada over men are
recalling promises made on the introduc-
tion of protection fourteen years ago.
After referring to the other details of the
speech, and claiming the importance of
access to the Anuirican markets, SirRichard
concluded as follows :
For my part, Iindict the present policy
of the Government on all counts. It is
radically false in theory and radically
vicious in practice. It is in the highest
degree an unease tariff, an oppressive tariff.
It is moat unsuited to the genius of the
people of Canada. It is most oppressive
to the largest portion of the people. It
discriminates against special sections. The
hon. gentleimen has reversed the policy of
Robin Hood; for while Robin Hood robbed
the rich to help the poor, these gentlemen
roh the poor to aid the rich.
These hon. gentlemen and their tariff are
very largely responsible for the faet that a
million of the best blood of Canada are now
exiles in the United States. Their tariff
directly fosters extravagance, and is a very
hot -bed of corruption. We have no chance
of developing Canada as ib should be 'de-
veloped. The only solution is to reform the
tariff root and branch, and that there may
be no mistake as to our intention about that,
I more that all the words after " that " in
the motion be struck out, and the following
eubstituted :
"That the present customs tariff bears
heavily and unjustly upon the great
consuming ole.sses of the Dominion, and
should be at once thoroughly reformed
in the direction of free trade, and that the
amount of taxes levied should be limited to
the sum required to meet th,3 necessities ot
the Government efficiently and economically
administered. (Cheers.)
Mr. Haggarb moved the adjournment of
the debate. Agreed to.
Sir John Thompson asked if there would
be any objection to continuing the debate
from day to day until. concluded. Sir
Richard Cartwright would rather the quem
tion was put when, Mr. Laurier, who was
absent, was in his place, but he thought
there would be no objection. A mntion to
that effect was then rnoved by the Premier
andagreed to. •
Sir John Thompson introduced a hill to
amend the Representation Act. He ex-
plained that the changes he wished to make
in the Act of last session were principally
of a clerical character, and simply related
to the boundaries of certain electoral die-
tricte, not making any change in any
particular.
Sir John Thompson introduced a bill to
amend the criminal code of 1892. In this
instance he also explained that the errors
were simply clerical, resulting' irons mistakes
in printing.
Mr. Edgar asked the Minister if the
House was going to get soixie valuable in-
formation indicated by the prees as hearing
on the subject of the crirninea code. He
referred to an opinion expressed upon the
subject of the code by one of the judges of
the Supreme Court. It was very important
that the paper should be laid upon the
table of the House, especially as the Home
was asked to legislate on the criminal code
of 1892.
Sir John Thompson said he had no objec-
tion. The contritution was one of those
commonly knowia ars open lettere, and was
already public. He did not intend to com-
ply with the views of the leaned judge.
Mr. Daviu presented a petition from the
lefoosejaw River Conservative Association,
praying that the duties on agricultural
implements, binder twine, fence wire and
coal oil. be materially reduced, if not abol-
ished. (Hear, hear.) ,

ROBBERS' sra IIAEL.
They Board a Train and Secure 500,000
Roubles,
A Warsaw cable says: Details were re-
ceived last evening of the robbery of a mat
train near Nowoseateki last Friday. Five
hundred thousand roubles were being
brought to this city in care of five Govern-
ment officials. As the train slowed up near
Nowoseniki for water three masked men
alighted from a first-slass coupe, walked
forward along the foot -board, and forced
their way into ihe postal car. Two of . the
Government officials reached for their aims,
but were shot 'dead instantly. Another
official was shonin the breast, and the other
two surrendered. The robbers then threw
off the boxes containing the money. When
the train stopped, they ran ahead, and
pointing their pistols at tihe engine -driver's
head, compelled him to start the train again.
Two of the men went back and took charge
of bhe money, while the third rode three
nailes on the engine to prevent the possi-
bility of an attempt at pursuit. He ,then
compelled the driver to stop, let him off,
and then go ahead. The two officials who
surrendered have been arrested. They are
believed to have been in collusion with the
robbers. No other arrests home been made.
ELECTRIC CAR 1101IROR.
Three Killed and Twentystive Mart in a
Collision.
A Portland, Oregon, despatch says:
Three persona were instantly killed and
twenty-five more or less seriously injured
by thewrecking of au electric car in Upper
•Albino, a suburb of this city at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. The car was loaded with
school children returning to their homes,
and a•number of laborers. While descend-
ing a steep hill the brakes broke and the
motorman lost control of the car, whioh
soon attained terrific speed. On reaching
theloot of the hill a curve was struck, and
the car was thrown on its side and dashed
to pieces. In a twinkling the lives of two
men and a child were crushed out, and
twentyefive others—women, boys and girls
—sustained injuries ranging from a scratch
to broken limbs.
Something About Carpets.
There are many things to learn about
purchasing a carpet. It may be woven
with an attractive surface of good colors
that induces a purchase which is the worst
sort of investment of cash. The regular
tapestry carpet is printed like old-fashioned
calico. It is woven in the color of the
ground, and then nen through presses that
print the colors of the design, which merely
(strike through the outside of the wool.
Snell carpets do not wear well either in
material or color. In body brussele, every
color is dyed in the skein, and then solidly
woven in the backing, being thrown upon
the surface when the special colors are re-
quired in the design. In the tapestry the
threads are insecurely woven over tete sur-
face, while in the brussels they are woven
through the fabric. The backs of some of
the tapestries are stained wibh colors in
order to mialead the purchaser who is not
up to the Ewes of carpet weaving. Velvets
are of toiletry weave with the thick pile
out. They are more carefully woven than
the Brussels and wear very well.
A Mother's Duty in the Rome.
No mother bas a right to make her
house an uncomfortable dwelling place for
her children. It is her duty to protect and
shield them, not by the force of her com-
mand, but by the power of her love. If she
would do this she must make their home
the most attractive place in the world, to
which they come not as slaves driven to
their galleys, bub as free children. --New

(Kingston Whig.)
The readers of the Whig will remember
thee our reporter at Sharbot Lake, on two
or three occasions last winter, wrote of the
eerious illness of Edward Betting, a well-
known and respected resident of the town;
ship of Oeo. Mr. Betting was so low that
his friends had no hope of his recovery, and
although of an energetic disposition and not
the kind of a man to give up easily, he even
felt himself that life was slipping from him.
Later we learned that Mr. Botting's re-
covery was due entirely to the use of that
remedy which has achieved so many
marvellous cures that its name is -now a
household word throughout the land—Dr.
Williams' Pink Pine for Pele People.
Our reporter visited Mr. Betting at his
home on the picturesque shore of Succor
Lake. Mr. Hotting is a very intelligent
and agreeable gentleman, some seventy-five
years of age, but looking and acting as
smartly as is man twenty years younger.
He is probably one of the best known men
in this section. He was postmaster at
Fermoy for fourteen years, and a councillor
of the united townships of Bedford, Oso,
Olden LOW Palmerston for ten years. He
gave the Whig repreeentative a cordial
greeting, remarking that it was his favorite
paper, and that he had been a constant sub-
scriber for forty-nine years. Mr. Betting
readily consented to give hie expertence
in the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, saying that he believed ib was a duty
he owed to husnenity to let the publics
know what had been done for him. "Ib
was about two yeare ago," eaid Mr. Betting,
" that I first began to feel that I was not
my old self. Up to that time I had been
exceptionally strong and rugged. My
itt-
neas first came in the form of kidney
trouble, which seemed to carry with it gen-
eral debility of the whole system, and none
of the medichie that I took seemed to do
me good. I am not of a disposition to
give up easily, and I tried to fight off the
erouble, and continued to go about when
many another 'should have been in bed.
Thieve wenb on in this way until about a
year ago When I had a bad attack of la
grippe, and the after effects of that malig-
nant trouble brought nip so low that my
friends despaired of my recovery. I did
not give up myself, for that is not my
disposition, but when I found that the
remedies I tried did me no good, I must
admit I WAS discouraged. I was troubled
with severe and constant pains in the back,
seussitions of extreme dizziness, weakness,
end was in fact in a generally used up con-
dition I had read f requently in the Whig
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and at last the
conviction forced itself upon me that they
mutt have some speciel virtue else they
could not obtain such strong endorsabione
in all parte of the country. The ,upsnot
W08 that I determined to try them and I
blem the day that I came to that con -
elusion. Before the first box was
finished I felt benefited, and I continued
their use lentil I was as strong as ever. I
have lately worked barn and find ' no ill
effecte therefrom. I consider Dr. Wit.
theme' Pink Pills the best medicine sold,
and you ,may say I would not be with-
out them ha the house if they most $5 a
box. All my neighbore know what Pink
Pills have done for rne," said Mr. Betting,
" and I would just like you to ask some of
,thern."
" Your reporteracted upon the hint and
first saw IVIre. L. Kish, a daughter of Mr.
Bolting. Mrs. Kish said: " What my
father has told you is quite true. It was
Pink Pills that cored him and we are very,
very thaneful. Father is now as smart aa
he was twenty years ago."
Charles Koepp, e promint farmer, said :
" I consider Mr, Bottnig'e cure a DIOSt won-
derful one and I believe he owes his life to
Dr. Vieillienis' Pink Pills." Your reporter
called at John W, Knapp's but found that
gentleman away from home. His wife, an
eatimable and intelligent lady, said, " we
are aware that Mr. Hotting was very sick
for
it lone time and considering his age
thought it unlikely that he would recover,
hut he i3 now as smart as he was ten years
ago and he asembes it all to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills'
Mr. Avery, Reeve of the Township of
Oeo, and Werden of the County of Fron-
Irene.; merehant, told your reporter that he
has a large and constantly increasing sale
fele Pink Pills, and from all quarters has
good report; of their curative qualities.
H. W. Hunt, a commissioner and school
teacher, said he had known Mr. Betting for
euniber of years and coneidred him it well
reed and intelligent) gentlemau, who, if he
satol Pink Pills had cured him, could be
depended upon, as he is a veryconscientious
man who would not make a 'statement that

A Big mat.
Mr. J. M. Pesten, of Weston, Ont.,
writes us as follows "Last spring my
horse ran into a barb -wire fence and tore
himself so badly that I could lay my whole
hand ha the wound right on the bare bone.
As there was no veterinary near, I imme-
diately tried Texas Balsam, and used it
faithfully night and morning for two weeks,
when I could again drive my horse. Within.
a month the wound was entirely healed and
not even the sign of a seer was left. About
the liattle time one of my neighbor's horses
got his foot cut, aud his veuerintery tried
for several weeks to get it to heal bat failed.
I gave him some Texas Belsa,m to try, and
la a few days he was working his horse
again. I can highly recommend Texas Bal-
sam." Ask your druggist for it, price 25
cents, or address C. If. Segaworth, 6 Wel-
