HASTIE ' GRANT, iLCO y-l yl i A d1'lo'.n'uis1is new pipe of 1'.s::w,- one of great “gar. force of character. firtnness, l decided Opinions, energy and administrative . ability. From the earliest period of his officiol ltirtru: he showed these character- istics in a nmrkcil degree. One ofhis first public aprpointmcnts wa: as adtini,trator to Beueveuto, where there were many feudal tarnilics of high rank and large possessions, " ho not only resisted all con- trol, but who protected the Neapolitan bri. ' grinds against the proper authorities. Mon. l scignore Peeei waged unflirusltitw warfare against these allied forces, and after sc- 1 curing the aid of the King of Naples, and becoming assureikof . the good will of the military ofrtccrs, pursued the hrigandn. tol. lowing them even into the ehatcaux of the nobles wluro they were hidden, and also overcame the ichemeu of the nobility against his elforta. In a few months the province was freed from brigunds. who were either killed or imprisoned. For this work the young admin istrator was awarded the highest praise by Pope Gregory XYL. who was personally attached to him, while Ferdinand ll. invited him to Naples to re- i ceive a token of Isis royal consideration. Some years later he was sent as Papal I nuncio to Brussels, where he also acquitted himself with great credit, and succeeded in winning the cotecut of the Belgian Court; Leopold l., a Protestant King, even con- sulting him upon Mfairs of state, and show. ing him runny esptcial marks ofcovsidem. 1 tion. On his return to ll me at his own request, on account of ill-health, the Rh g conferred upon him the grand cordon ot the Order of Leopold, and handed him a letter addressed to the Pope. On his arriv- al at Rome Gregory, after reading the royal letter, said to him: “The King of Belgium cults your character, your virtues and your services ; and he solicits for you some- thing which I should heartily accord, the purple. But here is a deputation from Perouse who beg of inc to eondide to you the government of the dioces<. "Aeeopt, then, the See of Pernusr. You shall soon receive with it the Cardinal’s hat." m ' was then nominated Archbishop of l’erouse on January 10th, 1816; and was created cardinal at that time. But Pope Gregory died the same year without having officially published the nomination. On the accession of Pius IX, to the papal throne the late Cardinal Antonelli, who was jealous of the rising archbishop. interfered to prevent Gregory's Wish from being fultillod, and Monsignore Peed was troniined to the duties of his docese until December 19th, 1868, when he was decorated with the red hat and stockings. He does not appear to have been a great favorite of his predecessor, it the conversation recorded as tollows is any means of judging. On tho death of Cardinal Barnum, Prefect of the Propa. ganda, toar years N.',", Pius IX. said to an English predate: “I have sustained a great loss. It will be ditheult to replace linrnubo, for he was a man of long experience, and possessed a through knowledge of "airs." "It seems to me," said the Englishman, "that you have in the Sacred College a man of rare meri. for the place." "To whom do you allude '?" asked the Pope. "To Cardinal Peeei," was the answer. The Pope replied very coolly: "Yes, he is an excellent bishop, and bishop let him re- main." During the trying times in Italy, the new Pope has shown himself a man equal to all emergencies. Be is said to be independent in thought and action, but one who adheres with the greatest tenacity to the doctrine- of the Church. m is a firm believer that Providence " beta all matters, and under the belief, while entirely unyield- ing in regard to the temporal power in Italy, is not inclined to enter into any con- But with it.

The de. pression has again caused a deficit amount- iii', to 91,460,000. 1 need not say that al- though it is probable that one cause of the deficiency has been the continual shrink- inge in the introduction of imported goods, l ritlll the main cause after all is necessarily idue to the very bad harvest of 1876. "I'hoise who have studied the position of this country are well aware that, however important other interests may be now and toralong time to come, the agricultural interest will not necessarily continue to be the predominating interest in Canada, and. therefore, that anything which strikes at the whole agricultural population strikes necessarily at all those classes which are dependent upon them-strikes, I may say. at the foundation of our national pros- perity-iutd, therefore, that it is no cause of wonder that an exceptionally bad her- vest should produce such a reduction in the revenue. Proceeding now to lay bo. fore the House the estimates for the re- ceipts of 1878-9, I may say I think that under the present tariff we may reasonably expect, judging from our returns, and t100Jh0--atahingiaoltmmttoutofwut I my all lawman up“. owning-coex- hinod mounting to "81,800,000, all a which had of.

To redeem debts which mature within a reasonable time, 013,500.- 000 will be required. For the purpose of completing necessary portions of the Paeitk Railway about 06,000,000 may be needed. For a variety of miscellaneous purposes about M,000,000, I think, would suthee-- making in all a sum of about $80,000,000, which I consider it still necessary to make provision for by borrowing elsewhere in 1061. Coming now to the second point to which I desire to call the attention of the House, that is to say. to the causes of the great excess which occurred at this period, I find that the causes of the great excess marks the years 1677-78 are 'r1ticfly due tol the following additions to our annual PX. i pendxturc _ In the find place, to the assumption of the Provincial debts and the additional subsidy to New Brunswick. amounting to $820,000. In the next place, to the additional charges incurred by the admission of Prince Edward Island, MSO, 000; to the iitut half-year'sintorcsts of Mr. Tilley's loan, 0225,000; the altcra- tion in the mode of keeping Post. otfiee accounts, which involved a nominal addition of $300,000; to the va"iety of in- creases in the salaries paid to the omcials of the Government, mounting to a little over 0800.000; to an increase of the ex- penditure on Public Works chargeable to income, M00,000; for the Mounted Police, 0260.000; the expenses of the extra session of that year, involving a sum of 0200,000; for treaties. about $100,000; and foraeon. sidcrable number of miscellaneous items ranging from 000,000 to M00,000-amourt ing in all to about 04,000,000. But as at that time there was, In doubt, considerable 1liffieulty in dciiuirus exactly the malt of the expenditure which had been incurred under the legislation I have referred to, it will probably interest tho House to see how the expenditure " the current year would compare with the expenditure of the your 1872-8. I tind, Sir, that the chief causes of excess in the expenditure of these two years may be described " follows ..-The Provincial debt and subsidy as before, Prince Edward Island, with the addition of the railroad and the steam ferry, a- mounting to 0820.000; the total interest of loan contracted in 1873, M45,000; the Post.0ftiee increases as before; the in. creases of salary in the estimates for the additional working expenses of the Inter- colonial, M00,000; which was not necessary or incurred in 1872-0. The total interest of capital placed in public Wt rks up to the end of 1877-78 represents an additional charge of 01,200,000; our Mounted Police, 0330.000; and our Indian treaties an ad- ditional charge of probably 0830.000 more, making a sum total of 05,100,000 of in. crease as between these years in the re. spcctive items to which I have alluded. Without pausing further, Sir, to discuss this point at present, I proceed to consider the amount of the absolute taxation now levied on the people of this country, and also the incidence of that taxation. Taking _ it in the ilmt place in the ordinary standard) per capital, the House wrll observe that on l our present population of 4,000,000 of i people we expect to receive in the current _ year a gross revenue of "28,400,0o0, tmad about $250,000 interest accrued on capital‘ since the time I named. They will also observe that of that amount ,ie,ettt are expected to be derived from what mar be called actual taxation, as compared i with about 017,616,000 received in 1872-8. It will be observed, therefore, that on our gross expenditure for the year 1877-8, if it does not exceed the estimated amount, our receipts per capita would amount “nearly " possible to 05.79 per head " against M.861 in 187b8, while the sum actually paid in taxation. which I have observed is probably the beets way, my everything is paid for which we have utuna' ted, willi amount to 04.79 per head, as against 04.90 actually paid into the Treasury in 1m Ian Wyatt-u “the perm is only a very partial test of the Incidence of taxation. It may -.a one. does - at.
