OTTAWA, FEB. 6.â€"-In the time be- yond the past there was a belief that Sir Richard Cartwright was at his best when he had to speak without prepara~ tion. Thnn to-day’s, the Knight never made a more effective speech. And he had much time in which to prepare his discourse. He was humorous when he began; he was denunciatory when he finished. To begin with he had some- thing to say of the nimble-fingered gen- tlemen of Hansard, the ofiicial reporters who are esteemed to be masters of their» calling. But: sometimes these skilled workmen made mistakes. It was of one of their infrequent errors that Sir Richard spoke this afternoon. In speaking of it he had necessity to speak of' other mistakes made by the Hausard men. Once upon a time, he said, he had spoken of the Liberal party having been ferried across the political Styx.” The gentlemen of' Haosard had amend- ed the statement by substituting “ stinks ” for the name of the river upon whose bosom Charon plies trade with mortals seeking Rhadamauthus. “And again,” pursued Sir Richard, “ I remember once saying ‘Strike, but hear me, as Themistoclcs said.’ I was amazed to find that Hansnrd made me say, ‘Strike, but hear me, as Peter Mitchell said.’ ” At which there was “ much laughter.” “I have borne these things like a man,” continued Sir Richard," but when I am represented as asking Sir Charles Tupper, the Elder, for a sub- scription to the funds of the Liberal party, I must object. The other day I happened to say in the course of a speech, ‘Give us good old Sir Charles Tuppcr.’ And the reporters made me say,‘Give us gold, SirCharles Tupper.’ ” Young Charley Tupper exploded with merrimcut. Sir Richard looked at him beniguly. “ I always have had a strong, sneaking liking for my friend from Pic- tou," said he, “more particularly since he bestowed his talent on antiquarian research. Thanks to my prayers and those of the bishops of Antigouish, his father has been elected. But we don’t want him to celebrate his return by distributing largess on this side.” Thus we saw the old knight truly in merry mood. Not ’I‘upper alone, but Foster, and Haggart, and all of the Conservatives laughed hugely at his recitals of the faux pas of the Honsard men. Truly it seemed that the benign spirit of yesterday, where all men tic- elaimed their loyalty and their British brotherhood, had impinged upon and extended over to-day. The amity did not endure. Sir Richard passed from Sir Charles to Foster. It was his to discuss the budget. He did discuss it. The speech that he made was the strong- est that has been heard on any financial question since the Opening of' this Pur- liument. True, it is more easy to de- stroy than to build up; it is easier to criticise than to cziginate. But, these things considered, Curtwright's speech was that of' the logician, the controver- salist, the statist. He floated the eit- plauatiou of Foster that the deficit Would have no evil result. The debt was piling up daily, nevertheless, with a full knowledge of the situation the Minister of Finance thought it com- patible “to prnte of the prosperity of the country.” The budget was a mil~ lion and a. half larger than it was last year, and was likely to be further in- creased. “ And," went on Sir Richard, “ the Minister asserts that the exports were larger by two millions odd than the imports. The truth is, that with the coin and bullion exported, there is a balance of two millions in favor of the imports." “But,” protested Foster, who had been twitching nervously, “ in no for- mcr estimate was the coin and bullion taken into account." “I thought my honorable friend would take refuge in that statement]! shot back Sir Richard. “ I will not allow you to misrepre- sent me," returned Foster. " The objection to my statement is too fine to be taken into account," pur- sued Sir Richard. “ The Minister said in his budget speech that the‘ balance of trade Was in ourfamr. nucc of‘ trade theory means anything. it means that we have a surplus after pay- ing for the goods that we import. Does 1896. If the bnl‘ l the armor 1 the Minisur contend tLat, if we hovel a quantity of foreign goods bro right through the country by the St. Law- rence canals, we make anything out 01' it as a nation ? ” " Not necessarily,” replied Foster. “ No, sir, not at all," thundered the old man. “ For the Americans to use our canals may benefit our waterways ; it does not aid our tariff. In an equally foundatiouless manner the Minister has attempted to prove that our progress in agriculture has been due to the National Policy. His leader, who once was Min- ister of Customs, knows better. If the relations between them are not too strained, the Minister might gain some valuable knowledge from the Prime Minister.” And the ‘Grits roared. They saw that Sir Richard was prepared to carry fire and sword into the camp of' the wicked Ministeriulists. Sir Richard objected to Foster’s state- ment as to the per capita taxation. The Minister said on Friday that Canâ€" adinns now paid towards paying the expenses of governing the country only eight cents per head more a year than they paid in 1874. " No grosser fallacy was ever attempted than to compare the per capitn taxation under the different systems of revenue tariff and protec- tion,” said Sir Richard. “ The essence of protection is to make the many pay for the few, whose just share 'of‘ the taxation does not go into the treasury at all. If I know what protection is, this is inherent, that a much larger amount is taken out of' the pockets of the people then goes into the treasury. Under the protective system that. is inevitable, and is not to be avoided. No human being can estimate the true cost of protection. I think Canada pays, over and above the tariff, about thirty millions a year for it! My friend from North Simcoe says the true figure is about seventy five millions.” “ Perhaps you can tell us for what; year you have made your calculation," said Foster, sardonieally." “From 1879 until to-day. I believe that the average cost is about thirty mil- lions,” answered Sir Richard. " .‘lil- lions are taken every year and put. into the pockets of the monopolists." “ Millions ?" asked Foster, raising his eye-brows. " Yes, millions,” roared Sir Richard. “ D’yc want proof? Look at the sugar business. It has put millions into the pockets of the monopolists. The Minâ€" ister had dared to cluim"â€"-probably Sir Richard meant. assertâ€"” that we are taxed thirty-nine cents less a head than in the Mackenzie regime. I say that we are taxed seven dollars more. In 1879 the Tory Administration large- ly exceeded the estimates that I hull brought down. In 1873 I found that; the estimates of my predecessor hail totalled 324,000,000. I cut them down to $23,000,000. On the five years of our administration there was a real balance in our favor of' over a mildeu dollars. Besides this, it was under our management that we secured five mi.- lions of good hard cash from the Yanâ€" kees as a result of' the Halifax fi~hery award. And we got a million from the Northern railway that our opponents thought was not worth trying to get." “ ’I‘hc sinking fund is larger now," Foster interposed. “ It. is,” Sir Richard acquiesced. "It is larger because of your extravagance. The Macdouuld administration in 1873 left me liabilities of seven million :lol- lurs which its members had mode in) provision for. Let the men who crest d that liability bear the brunt and responâ€" sibility for it. It is unjust to try to hold the Mackenzie administration guilty. And this government, l'orsooth, talks about what it has done for Canada. It points to the railway and canals. It reminds one of the pious‘saint who stole the goose and gave the gihl-zts away in charity.” Thus and thus did the Knight wage war with his enemies the Conservatives. OI' so much effect was his baiting uf' Foster that the Minister was Iain M spring up and down like a jumping-jack to refute Sir Richard's charges. ‘0-.-â€"_..
