There are m y reasons :vlucl; render it impossible to bring down the enâ€" tire estimates early the session. I think it would be found more convenient, more conductive to the speedy «despatch wuc. of the House, to adopt the practice not to wait till all of them are completed, but to bring them down as they may be ready, soas to go into Comâ€" mittee of Supply at the earliest possible period in the session. | I have thought it necessary, sir, to this explanation. on. gentlemen oppépsite for some time past have been enquiting when the finanâ€" gial statement would be made, and Iam eunsiderably indebted|to them for allowâ€" Tok monbling tur to elpien svoner"than 1 me to e sooner t w would have C able to do, the position of country, 1 have thought it advisable to maxe thesetew obâ€" servations in of the cause of the © had theat amount of strport in the House 4 necessary under alrcumstances. 4 Partions waere so balanced, that U to haye carried the necessary “:'rbunnnn and expenditure 44 have been a peculiarly U difficult task .‘ â€" # i 20e grom ufo Whne on thiee mon, mbfie‘ ish priactice, and which I ink it expedient should be altered, namely, to inging down the estiâ€" mates until all of covering every branch of the public{service, areâ€" ready, though it has been us -cndldmuydn usage will not be fromâ€"to bring down a su estimate, (hear, Cou.

Ibelieve it is in socordance with « 'u{ constitutional in Englapd for ‘hancellor of the mr to make hi financial statement after House has n for some time in Committee of supply, and after the supplies have been in t part voted. 1 (ntecapin thas. it Hotiow Lnome that r, lolton) knows that blnt:n‘mnioo.

Sir l"RA.\'CIsl IIINCKSbâ€"l l‘n no desire to keep anything back, but it would be better lfu:{e hon. gent m‘el: opposite would let me finish fio bhole statement, taking of course the ammount of the Great Western money, for Sir John Rose calculated on this as part of his ways and meansâ€"we find a gross surplus of $396,333, viz.; on Customs, $268,517, and miscellaneous, #128,416, while the loss on Excise must be. deducted, so thit the net uglup on Mr. Rose‘s calculations was $210,258. There appears to have been some omission of figures in his regm_rud wooch, for the exact surplus was #189,401. s have now to ?on-iJer the expenditure of the same year! I have shewn that the revenue of my predecessor was in excess oflbodcuh&uu, but J am sorry I cannot: nx that his expenditure was as low as he o ci.d.:ron. But "it rmust be borne in mind, it is only fair to put this strongly ‘before/ the Committeeâ€"that we are du{in‘ now with what we may call his revised estimated e:&nditun, and not with the estimates were voted by Parliament the previous sessionâ€"and in the revised estimates he had gone over all the dmem and done his utmost to % the expenditure to the lowest 1 fii:t. ‘I am afraid it is a very sr;ult ing indeed for a Finance Minisâ€" ter to accomplish so large a saving in exâ€" penditure as my Ffodeou-or thought he was able to do. The expenditure, accordâ€" ing to the original estunates, was $14,â€" kfi butatia | wian. session, after several months of the {:u- had elapged, when ho came to make is est.mates, he found the estimateé o revenue had been excessive, and that there was likely to be a very considerable deficiency ; but he stated to the House mm:on he bfi;:tlno aware of the fact‘ re was likely to bo a very t delficiency every effort had been m-g?rfl the Government to reduce expenditure in all the departments, so as to provide that the expenditure should not be in excess of the revenue. When he made the revised estimate of revenue for 1869, instead of takiny the old estimate which was $15,114,000, he estimated it at $13,â€" 144,656. In this estimate, it m{‘ be obâ€" m he included items wh.::;:‘kl Mh ly, in my su uent re s have oceaision to clhzle tb;â€"oqteu- which I have no doubt were not calculated at the time of the original estimate. If however, the $500,000 received from the (Great Western Railway were not to be treated as revenue â€"â€"there would be a very considerable difference in the result. H‘g& Mr, HOLTON.â€"(Hear, hear.) Hoh. Sir FRANCIS HICKSâ€"My hon. friend calls " hear, hear," and no doubt be will be %upcre«l to shew at the proper time that this iterm ought not to be conâ€" sidered in the revenus of the year. But 1 don‘t know if [ .can take a better opportuâ€" nity thar the present for disposing of the question,. J took the trouble to look up a precedent, and I hold in my hand an authorityâ€"for the transaction to which I am about to refer was of a very similar kind. The m:bhoricy,ul am sure, ‘zm:hb; satisfactory to all gentlumen on the o side of the Hduse, as it is to those on this â€"â€"i4 is no less an authority than the preâ€" sent Prime Minister _ of _ England. There was an occasion in 1860, when he was in trouble with regard to flnBul.MLQud found himself likely to be short. and he annouced to the House that deliverance had come from a quarter not expsored, for the Spaniards Jpad remitted Hon. Siz: FRANCIS HINCKSâ€"In the revenue which appears in . Sir John Rose‘s revised estimates is included, ‘of course, the Great Western Railway‘s money, the sum was $13,744,656, the acâ€" tual reccipts . $14,485,139, from which I deduct an amount arising from the transâ€" actions in the Intercolonial Railway Loan, $551,082, leaving a surplus of $189,401.57. +â€"F. ucm'z%â€"thu in tjkin‘ credit also for the Great Western amount a debt of £500,000. J think that the deâ€" liverance which Mr, Gladstone was so hap py to receive in the payment of this debt, is very analogous to the deiiverance of my predecessor by the Great Western Railway when the revenue had fallen ve short Lleqd,nndhofom)giho was likez _ MHon. Mr. HOLTONâ€"Oh yes, but still it is not revenue. * Hon. My.

The revenue of 1868 was $13,835,4060, but in utimutinfl the revenue / of the following _ year, Sir John ut it at. $15,114,000, of. which he calculited the Customs would contribute $9,100,000, and the exc'u.e\ $5,114,000. s | _ I hive thought it advisable, sir, to; preâ€" face the stateiment I am about to make in reference to the operations of the yeir now some months terminated; with ‘these general remirks with regard to the positit of the country and its nnancial conditio its ability to meet all its o.ligations, . an with : gard to the burdens imposed upo the poople as compared with the burde borne by the puvlic in the countries which* { ‘have referred. <I might ad while speaking of other countrics, that have lately resided in a colony whe certaiinly the people, taking them nlul gether, do not in any way compare fit wealth, /intelligence or skilled indusyry, with the people of this country ; apt" yot the people of that colonyâ€"the uuy,j: British â€" Guignaâ€"which ° enjoys gre degree of prosperity, pay taxes/at conâ€" siderably more than double the rate pT head paid in Canada, and they p1y i cheerfully and without the slightest qiflt oulty. _ (Hear, hear.) T j States have such high protective duti‘{m upon everything imported, that impor tions are much reduced, and the Custo reyenuge per hoad does not come up as in | Clhh‘,’ where on leading articles the duties are much lower. The internal ] yenue of the United States is about $ per head of the population, whereas in Canada the, excise revenue is only about 67 cen part hoad, :: } between the internal revenue of the 1wo countries, that the revienue from Customs approaches more nearly, although still very far below that of the United States, than the internal revenue does.

The same may be said of certain works of a perm inent character of the class which ure glanced at by Mr. Rose in the passage which 1 have just read from his speech of last sess‘on., Hon. Sir FRANCIS HINCKSâ€"Well, Sir, that depends altogether upon the wi., that you treat the account. Hoa. Mr. HOLTONâ€"â€"According to your own kay. ® | ] am not quite prepared to go that length, mho, wfl:: IP:d publio‘:érh of conâ€" idérable importance are really absolutely necessary, 1 am not prepared to say that we are to postpone them for an indelinite period simply because we have not ordinâ€" ary revenue enough to meet the expense, even if it were ata time when it would probably be necessary to find increased revesue for carrying on the services of tho scountry, eopcfl if it were at a time when the ways means can be found to meet the expenditure, on these works without pressing in any w«y heavily upon i " We have endcavoured to scrutinise * every item of expenditure which could * possibly be subject to reduction ; and " voâ€"night I would appeal to the magnanâ€" " imity, forbearance and patriotism of my i“‘frion& around me not to ask for siny exâ€" « penditure on any particular works and " services which, however advantageous ‘“ or useful in themselves, can possivly be 4# postponed. ° These works cannot be |«« gone on with this year, unless we resori * to increased taxation, or borrow monéy \« for the purpose. In regurd to such i works as the . renewal Oor extension ol * wharves, harbors, mers, light houses, &c., * I think we ought not to borrow money for * that ; as for':g..vpo ing up of the North * West, thit is not in the sume ¢.1egory ; t‘ the cost of that territory may be surly = charged on posterity, the money nece:â€" @© sary to pay tor it ought to be borrowei, " as ulso a further sum towards opening * up a communication with it, for once we * have it in possession‘we must tike I“ efficient and energetic meas of getting S at it. And the charge for those great |# works may, I think, be fairly entailed on i paterity ; but ordinary works, such as ’“ custom houses, post offic s ani the w others I have mentuoned, do not come t‘ under the same c«tegory.
