OUR \WEEKLY LETTER FItOM

'1'11. F. BU t D(, }:T.
ut taws, February ?nth, 1893.
OW' or the 1lriucipal (vent, Of ilia
S. ssitel is the Budget Speech. The
Fimaure ',iliistei, the Iluu. (leu. 1'..
Foster, is one Of t10 best spoakc-rs in
t•he Hou.;o ; his >manuor is clear and
t,n ei ble ; his farts are always well
marshalled ; his language is plain and
dirc:•.1, and tlu'se facts, together svitll
the fact that his announcement is the
voice of the Government upon tiiattet:s
of tinanc•e and tariff, always give him(
an audience who fi1hi\v his utterances
with the greatest. possible interest and
attention.
On Tuesday liLSt almost every mem-
ber of the (.:OnittiulnS was in his place
and the galleries were filled with bun-
dre.ls of people. 11Ir. Poster has de-
livered o, number of budget speeches;
it is no disparagement of his former
of forts to say that his Speech upon this.
occasion was the best in manner rind
arrangement that he has yet presented
to the house.
F1N.ANCI.kL.
The financial operations of the year
were first dealt with:
The revenue was $38,921,871
The ordinary expenditure
was $30,765.894
So that out of ordinary income the
Government had paid the ordinary ex-
penditure and had left $155,977 to place
in perinanent public works. This, it
will be readily admitted, is a splendid
Phoning considering that the sugar
duties were removed and over $4;(1(10,-
(100 saved to the pockets of the people
during the year on that account,
THE TAXATION BYCUSTOMS.
Of the revenue collected $20,550,581
came from Custom's collections. Per
head of the population $4.25. It will
be seen that the taxation per head is
decreasing annually of recent years.
It. was $5.01 per head in 1890; $4.84 per
head in 1891; and $4.25 per head as
shown above in 1892.
801E ITEMS OF TARIFF REFORM.
The Liberals love to talk Tariff Re-
form. Here are some items for them?
They, when they were in power, had a
duty upon coffee. The Conservative
Government took that off because it
cannot be produced at home and be-
cause every poor man uses it. Had the
duty been on last year the people
would have paid $06,716. The saute is
to he said of tea which the Liberals
taxed and which the Conservative Gov-
ernment spade free. By getting free
tea the people had been saved a tax of
$1,258,00() which they would have been
compelled to pay had the Grit policy
been continued ; then remembering
sugar, which the Grit Government
kept a heavy tax on and which this
Guvernrnent has Stade in reality free,
it will he seen that the Conservative
Government have been Tariff reform-
ers indeed, and that their tariff reform
has saved during the past year to tax
payers upon the articles of tea, coffee
and sugar only, which every poor man
uses, the enormous stun or over five
million dollar's which the people would
have been compelled to pay hail Sir
Richard been in power.
mot ('ttlan'r.
Dealing with the klan which diad
been made during the year, the Minis-
ter showed that vie had maintained
our credit in the money markets of the
world to such an extent that we were
enabled to borrow money upon !gtte>
terms than any other country upon
the market with the single exception
of Great Britain }myself.
PUBLIC DEBT.
There was a slight increase in the
plrblic debt but if he had not lightened
the burdens of the people by reducing
as shown above the meat ens taxation
by millions of dollar's he would have
been able to have come down and show
ordinary expenditure and capital ex- 1
penditure paid out of ordinary income
and a substantial reduction of the pub-
lic debt. in addition. As it was, not-
withstanding the immense reduction in
taxation and the constl'uctioti of great.
public works costing ninny millions of
dollars, the debt of the country during
the past four years had only increased
a little over three million dollars.
Considering that Sir Richard Cart-
wright was constantly inereasing taxa-
tion and starving the public works and
yet added an average $8,000,0(X1 to the
public debt each year, the people will
he more than satisfied with the wisdom
and economy of the present govern-
ment.
THE' S. 14. MARIE CANAL.
The Minister anrlmin ss' that, the
Sault Ste Marie Canal wars being rapid- ,
iy
apid-
1y pushed and would be ronppletcd as
rtuickly as j otsible. Tt would ('oat, f>
Little 14 4,re but it wen!(1 make us hide -
Spendent of the (people of the United
tates at all itnp /It:lu1 point and at a
Critical time.
OtrR Tn.1DI:.
Ruin, ruin, everywhere! cries Sir
Iticlutl'd. Our trade ruined! echo his
ergauls. Where is the ruin? Our
total foreign trade during the past
year has i asverin d a fourth. \1'e have
lost tWo 1)1111i01)5 of dollars of
trade with the United States, lint we
have increased fifteen millions of dol-
lars with (Treat: Britain. At this an-
nouncement Sir Richard sneered, and
when 11:' value to speak declared that
it was at forced and unntural grmvth.
Ile thinks it is natural trade to sell our
products 1'> people who have Iuure than
they want of the same products, and
unnatural trade to supply the people
of Great Britian who haven't enough.
Sir Richard is a great genius and his
trade theories are about as misty and
hazy as his hopes of getting into office.
AN OBJECT LESSON.
Look at the figures of trade since
1873. Total foreign trade of the coun-
tryin 1873, when the Liberals went in,
$217,801,24)3; in 1879, after five years of
their policy, it was only $153,455,782.
Now under Conservative auspices it
reached, ?luring the past year the
splendid sem of over $211,000,000,
FARM PRODUCTS EXPORTED.
During thepast year the farmpro-
ducts exported which found a market
chiefly 10 Great Britain, had increased
over $21,000,001,. The Government
policy was to open up markets for our
farmers everywhere where our pro-
ducts were wanted and could be sold at
fair prices.
TARIFF REFORM.
The Trade question was always. a
live question in Canada, and there
were agitations going 00.
The Opposition leaders had falsely
declared that the United States had
voted for Free Trade. Nothing could
bo further from the truth, as events
would soon demonstrate. -
Prices for cereals were low—they
were low the world over—and the O I -
position had tried to make the peop0
discontented. They would get their
answer in the future as they had got it
in the past.
The policy of the Government was a
definite policy; it was clear as day ;
they would stick to the landmarks of
the policy of 1878, under which Canada
had prospered, hut they would change
it in details as the interests of the
country required. They were under
the control of no set of mien ; they
would do their hest for the great
masses of the people.
A FULL INQUIRY.
Mr. Foster announced that during
the soloing summer the ministers
would personally meet the farmers,
the manufacturers, the artizans; con -
Suit the representatives of every call-
ing and every industry, and next ses-
sion he prepared to revise the tariff
fully upon the broadest, best and safest
lines. This year such changes as they
were satisfied should he made—would
be made. These are referred to below.
By next session it, would be seen how
the Americans would he prepared to
Ileal with Canada, and that of course
would have its proper effect upon our
policy.
RECIPROCITY.
The Guvern)mcnt Sinu(1 for a fair
n)easnre of Reciprocity with the peo-
ple of the United States. They were
willing to give advantage fir advant
age, but they would not give Canadian
advantages away without securing
some in return. They had no special
class to serve, but they were Canadian
first, last and. all the time.
The y would not accept any arrange-
ment with the United States that
turned our back upon Creat, Britain (r
that left the control of our Tariff with
the people of the United States. In
this the country are with the Govern-
n4(nt heart and soul.
BRITISH PREI'ERENTIAL TRADE.
The Government, the minister de-
clared, would be glad to promote, if
possible, Preferential Trade with Great,
Britain and her Colonies.
The Saltie announcement, Was made a
little earlier in the day by Sir John
Thompson.
EXPORT DUTY ON LOOS.
The Finance Minister announced the
Government' recognized that our
forests were disappearing ; that our
logs were being rapidly taken to the
United States and cut there by Ameri-
can labor, That would he a subject for
very close inquiry, and he wished all
who had bought limits or world buy
Inuits during the year to know that,
the policy of the Government was not
such as justify then( in being certain
that the privilege they now enjoy will
be continued.
(10:17014 AND ntsoen TWINE.
The changes made this year are in> -
portant, ones for the consumers. The
real oil duty was retained by Sir Bich -
/m.1 Cart w, fight. Ile pr0pesed new to
ask 1hhouse temake tl:uispertfrot'
and leArve the d,tttiy as: it ia. Tbot
would have the olfeot of allowing
Anntrienn onto 00110,> in in tacks. Oil
leen ettyy that the reduction will be
about three cents pergallon-- to the
consumer. The Imperial 011 Company
of Canada who sell their oil at about 71
cents per gallon in bulk at Petrolia will
also they say take care that the retail-
ers in Use tomer and villages sell their
nil at reasonable fates.
The duty on hinder twine is reduced
one-half, making it 12:41'erct'nt. instead
of twenty-five. Mining nla.Iliuery will
be allowed to be ittiporteil tree fur three
years longer.
The whole Budget uce'npied two
hours in delivery.
Its tulle throughout was vigorous,
stably and Canadian. it was learly
the voice of a Government who feel
that they enjoy tc splendid measure of
public cuutideuce; who have nothing to
conceal from public scrutiny; who are
proud of their record in the past, and
bound to merit public confidence and
support in the future. The Minister
was cheered again and again. In this
he was more fortunate than the doleful
Sir Richard riho replied --and whose
dreary rehersal of his speeches of the
past four or five yeiu's speedilycdrove a
majority of the members from the
House uud most of those who remained
—to sleep.
