THE CLOSE OF THE DEBATE The galleries were filled on Tuesday night last to hear the closing shots of the Budget fisht. The people were amply repaid for their attendance The Hon. Mr. Laurier spoke after dinner. His speech was a pleasantly delivered essay, well constructed but | weak in argument. The Finance | Minister replied. We have not space | here to describe his effort, It was by | common consent one of the greatest | speeches that the Canadian Parhament | has ever heard. It was. infeed the advent of a perfact Waterloo for the | Opposition. | They looked like pigmies | beside a giant as the Hon. Mr. Foster --smal! in stature but mighty in argu ments--stood up and by the force of irresistible facts and logic brushed them aside one by ove. First he completely answered Mr. Laurier, then he demolished Sir Richard ; next he cleared away the sophistries of Louis Henry Davies, and lastly he spanked the man from North Norfolk till he looked like the historio bull that faced a running locomotive, It is universal: Jy admitted that the Opposition have not had such a riddling for years. If their supporters in the country could have heard it they would undoubtedly have been more than sorry for their leaders, The speech will be given notice on these letters hereafter. The Govern- went majority was 54. There were a number of absentees. MR. EDGAR'S COMBINE. Mr. Edgar having made a speech in which he found fault with the combines, Mr. Smith, M.P. for South Ontario, retorted that Mr. Edgar was a pro- minent member of the most iniquitous combine in Canada, the Ontario Law Society ; and he had better cast out the wote from his own eye before he tried to remove that in his brother's eye, THE P. 0, DEPARTMENT. The Post Office Department is one of the most important departments of the government of Cunada. It as important not only because of the fact that opon its wiso and Lusi- ness hike management depends to so great an extent the successfui handling of Lusiness operations in every part of our own country and with every other country in the world, but because too of the large expenditures which are ue ily made in jon with it. Je is very satisfactory to compare its management now with its management under the Liberal Government. In '1873, when the Liberals took _eflice, we had 4,518 post offices in the ini Thess post offices cost per 000 ; they earned §1,- ~ anwum $1,553, - 406,000. to 5,378 $1,620,000, whi to a States that yave the Americans control of the Canadian tariff. He paused for a reply, bat Mr. Laurer only smiled. Neither bé por Sir Richard ever want to answer that question. It is getting down (o.particulars that they always try to avoid left Canada because of the high tariff. he | "Then," asked the apeaker, *'why do "1 1n value in Great Britain to the extent y Ay : 3 Daring the five years of I beral rule, political party feel that extinction was impending.

British farmers find the raising of grain unprofitable and are stopping it. They raise less per year by 8,000,000 bushels than thay did 40 years ago. Here is the evidence of an agricultural expert -giten before the Royal Agri cultural Commission in 1886 : "Tle present as compared with ten years ago would show on an average that the landlords have lost 30 per cent., the tenants 60 per cent, and the laborers 10 per cent.

The facts in connection with the small loan which Mr. Foster recently made in England should be most pleasing to Canadians. There is no place in the world where the progress and prosperity of the peoples so keen- ly scrutinizee us upon 'the English money market, when a loan 18 asked for.

TAXATION. Denling with the subject of taxation be quoted the statement of the To- ronto Glabe, and showed that the tax- ation of Néw York State way enormous. There is 3 direct taxation, according to the Globe, "in that State, of $132 per annum on 200 acres ; £125 on 150 neres ; $60 on 90 acres.

In 1891 it was only two per cent. This is a very sig- nicent fact. On notes the unpnid sums due in 1880 was 4} per cent jm 1892 only a fraction over one per cent. | This is auother very significant fact. THE CIVIL SERVICE, The Government are introducing a bill in regard to 'the Civil Service.-- Its provisions are principally to make the daily hours of acrvice longer and provide more effective methods where Ly the useful, industrious members of tne service may bs marked and re- warded, and whereby those who do not prove good or faithful officials way ation they have in the provinces of the Dominion. But if our provinces were states they would get no federal sul- sidy ; they would have to build their own canals and public works, and a thousand things all by direct taxation, MORTGAGES IN THE UNITED STATES. Fortunately the census returns of the United States gives the mortgage figures. It had cost a million dollars to collect: theso statistics. They were such as shéwed the American farmer to be living in no garden of Eden. Here are the speaker's words : "1 base my calculation upon the American census, which cost some willions to prepare. The mortgage debt on 1st January, 1890, in Alabama was §39,027,000, or §26 per head; in fowa, $119,034,000, or $104 per head ; in Illinois, §384,299,000, or §100 per head. It will be remembered that Towa and Illinois are situated in the very heart of the United States, and are considered to include the best furming sections in the country. Kansas, that country whose circulars contain por- traits of some hon. gentlemen opposite, has u debt of $235,248,000, or 8170 per head, or $850 fer every family of five, or a mortgage agninst every 4.77 of the whole population of the state. When I speak of a mortgage of $850 against any family," T do not wenn against each family mortgaged, but against every family in the state. Those five states had, on 1st January, 1890, real estate mortgages amounting to $906,669,000, or an average of £83.80 per head, subject to an interest charge for one year of $67,505,000. 1 have not time to go over the statistios of each state individually, but I will read to the House a statement cover: ing the whole United States, prepared , the census commissioner. |!
