TUE 'YEAR'S FINANCE.
• In his budget opeech Mr. Fielding
pointed out that the receipts on con.
siolidated revenue account amounted
to $52,514,701, while the expendi-
ture was 846,866,867, leaving a sur-
plus of $5,048,384. The capital ex-
Penditure for the year had been *7,-
695,488, and, adding to this sum
certain special expenditures, whigh
were also cledisect under the same
head, it gave a total of 811,116,-
49$, or an increase of $1,874,811.
The aggregate expenditure of ell
kinds was $57,982,$66, being an in-
crease of *5,265,899, !Phe total net
debt on June 30ta was 8268,480,-
000, an increase of 82,986,000 over
the previoui year. The average in-
' crease for the past five years had
been $1,996,514, cis against an aver-
age for the eighteen years of Con-
servative rule of $6,568,07.5. Mr.
Fielding enumerated the increeses of
revenue under the several heeds which
had taken place during the year, in-
cluding $285,969 froth postoffice re-
eeipts, • The deficit in that depart -
lama had been very materially re-
auced, and the postoffiee returns for
the cerreat year indicated the next
budget would diiclose even more
satisfactory results, For the eight
Months of the' present year the re-
ceipts had been $3,172,981, as
against $2,909,128 for the correa-
ponding period of the previous year,
and $2,946,518 for the correspond-
ing period of 1898. Since the last-
mentioned year the domestic rate of
postage had been reduced from 8
cents to 2 cents, and the Imperial
rate -from 5 cents to 2 cents, not-
withstanding ivhich nhe betterment
upon the operations of the last eight
menths was over $200,000: The to-
tal 'net surplus for the past RYA
years had been $16,748,557, aod the
avsgage during the same period 88,-
348,705.. For the eighteen years of
ConServative rule the surpluses
amounted to $27,862,801; and the
total deficits $18,060,648, leaving
$9,801,71.3 as the total iiet sarplus
for that period, or . an average of

to $88,047,685, and he estimated
that at the close of the yeer the to-
•tal revenue watild ainount to $56,-
800,000, ae against an actual rev-
enue last year of $52,514,701, so
that the probable • increase for the
year would be $2,285,29$. There
had been expended fOr the current
year up to March 10th, $30,138,502,
and, taking into 'account. last year's
expenditure, and allowing for% a con-
siderable increase this year, he anti-
cipated the 'total% when the twelve
months closed wonld be $01,000,000
or $4,133,632 in advance of lest
year's enpencliture on consolidated
account. Ile expected the Simples t?

Refer° the Committee of Agricul-

Entomologist and. Botanist at the
Experimental Farm, etated that it
had been discovered that horse man-
ure and Paris green were the most
efilettelous remedy yet used to pro-
tect wheat Adds in Manitoba from
the ratages ot the locusts. Ae an
exempt° of the necessity for prompt,
mensures being taken by owners of
orchards ag'ainst the San 'Tose
scale, Prof. Fletcher cited the case
of an' orchard oj 20,000 trees, the
owner of which neglected to take ac-
tive measures when the pest first ap-
peared a few years ago. When he
'visited it last fall every tree was af-
fected and many were dead. Whale
oil or soap, crude petroleum, and
fumigation. with hydrocyanic gas
were the three remediee ivhich Prof-
Fleteher regarded as most eftleacious.
