Telerhone 2984 J. H. Pmm'ncz Unionvine Gnome Rugs D 251.0008 I The last Budgvt of the century has hven px-esvntt-d to the country and to say that it met nll the most, sanguine '«prvcmciune that, have been created by the Prinfiicnl statements of Pro- gress am development that have been } made public during the year, is to put the case very mildly. Mr. Fielding’s speech in presenting his financial Istatement was cnnciso, and held the close attention of the House and galleries: but had it been themnst, t rnsaic stutnmontnn re-cm-d it wunld 1 ate been interesting, fm- its suh‘vct matter was of a character to nppva tn themust responsive feelings of Moi-y (-k-ctmx It told the story of an increase in lanada's trade from $239,000,000 in 1896 to 74,000,000 in 1000, an increase of $13.5,(NMJXX) in four years. as against $60,600,000 in the previous eighteen years. It told of a growing revenue in each of those years which culminated in an increase of more than $6,000,000 in 1899 over that of 1898. It told of an estimated revenue for the current year, ending in June, of over $50,000.- 000, which will be. yet another $4,000,- 000 in excess of last year or an increas- ed revenue of $10,000,000 in two years, and this in the face of substantial re- ductions in taxation, the result of large additions to the imports placed upon the free list, to the operation of the preferential tariff, to the reduction in postage rates. etc. It told of new sources of revenue and reductions in the cost of administering the old de- partments. It told of every liability met, including the heavy expenditures on the South African contingents. and not a dollar added to the ublic debt/â€" I a condition of afl’airs w ich has not occurred for nearly twenty yearsâ€"and it told of an estimated surplus for the year now drawing to a close, of prob- ably $7,500,000. THE DAYS OF UNREST ARE GONE: In the old days when the National Policy was in the heyday of its glory and the Dominion was protection mad, the bringing down of the Budget was always anticipated with nervous anxiety by the" business community. and the event was invariably preceded by a period of uncertainty and restless expectation which had a most injuri- ous cii‘ect upon the trade of the. coun- try Ottawa was invaded by scores of deputations representing every variety of “ infant industry,” the promoters of which were anxious to obtain spec- ial tariff advantages at the ex ense of the community at large. ut this sort of thing has entirely changed. Unrest has given place to Confidence, and the feeling of anxiety to a. sense of security. The people have. discover- ed that there is a Government in power able to direct the fiscal policy of the country along clearly defined lines, respecting and conserving every legitimate interest in the country. while at the Same time lessening the burden of taxation upon the people, and returning to the country a hun- dred cents for every dollar of revenue received. Appreciating this fact they also understand how much or rather how little attention to pay to the per- petual chatter about extravagance in expenditure and increase of the public debt. They realize that while it is true that the expenditure during the last two cars has been increased, for example iy $2,370,000 through the cost of administering the Yukon, the rev- enue has been increased to $2,570,000 ' from the same source; that railway construction has been pushed forward with greater activity and therefore that more money has been required within a given time for that purpose ; that our canal system from the great lakes to the sea has been completed in three. years, instead of in about thir- teen. which would have been the time at the old rate of progressâ€"and they appreciate the fact that in all this and ‘ dozen other ways an added ex- 43%? in a penditure both in income and capital account, is an investment from which thgcountry will reap big returns. C MC'fifl Altfh .._._m«~â€"-H Moxeover with all this activity in the work of opening up the country and developin its resources the. actual increase has een far less under this Government than during the former regime which pieceded its advent to ower. for while the average incwase 1n the public debt for the eighteen yours was over $6.5(X),000 each year. the average increase under the Laurie:- Administration is only about $1,700,- \THERE MR. FOSTER MISSED IT. 1 Mr. Foster, ex-Finnnce Minister and Tory financial critic. took four days to prepare and four hours tg delivers. labored and snphistical criticism of the Finance Minister’s speech, but hi§ efforts lost much if not all its form: {mm the utterly unreliable data which he presented and upon which be based his deductions. As Sir Rlchaid Cal-t- wright pointed nut in his reply, and I :is has been pointed out a. score of times before. it is utterly and most _ manifestly unfail- to take the expendi- ture of 1896 and quote it as an indica- tion of Tory expendituze, fur the Our Ottawa. Letter. THE STORY OF THE BUDGET. simple reason that, obligations which should have been included in those figures were left over for the next year, and at least two big depart»- ments of the public service were so abominably starved during the last year of Tory administration. that it cost the country many thousands of (iollms additional to repair the dnma e done. The fair comparison would fie between the figures of 1895 and those of 1899, or hetweon the estimates for 1897, as reparvd hy the late Govern- ment be ore they vacated office, and those flow brought down for 1900.

Mr. J. ’1‘. Sai eon made an excellent chair- man, an the wit and humor which he displayed between the various selec- tions were interesting features of the entertainment.
