- a mfth'u Efidget Speech OTTAWA, FEBRUAy 28th-WlCfl Mr. Smith, M. P. for South Ontario, the banner county of the province, rises in his place in the House to speak on a question he always talks sense and places his arguments clearly and con- ciscly before his hearers; therefore it was not surprising that his speech on the budget was listened to with greater attention than was paid to the utter- ances of most ail the other preceding speakers, excepting of course the two giants of finance, Hon. Mr. Foster and Sir Richard Cartwright. In opening lis speech Mr. Smith drcw attention 10 the fact that the Liberals in thîs debate hid had recourse 10 the old and famil- iar story of blue ruin, distress and sut- fering among the farmiers. that lias been liradi in fic Houise session after ses- sion, 01n1y su ppleîiuncrtud is c'ar and brought UP to (date.

Large sumsa have been annually expended outr of ordinary revenue during these yean-s upon public buildings and works which are now of a yen-y permanent char-acter. Many of these may not be paying in- t vesiments in t-be shape o! cash retur-n,F but they are valuable contributors to h the property ut the country. M r, t Smith ai ibis juncture bnanched out t into a broad-nmnded patriotic flight o! d oratory, iluat was quite refr-eshiniz after çi the narrow grooves which the average c £Lîberal follows when discussing nation- e ai questions Mr-. Smith pointed out how necessary was the construction o! themInen-colonial and the Canada l'a-9 clfic raîlways to the development o! c interprovincial trade, and how these t, great enter-prises had made Canada in- b dependent o! the United St.ates and k< had besides aitracted the attention o! tg the world to this young and vigorous e country. These lines were nov sec-a tions o! one o! the world's commercial i higbways, and ahI were j.ustly proud o!f the enterprise and courag-e displayed in if constructing the C. P.- R., and ah- 0o though there bas been a large amount P o! money expended on it, there were S lew ln or out o! the House who would tl wish to be without the road. Mr. nr Smith then referred to the cana] o system, o! which he sai I Canadian ti had reason to be prend. Recent in- h provements had opcned unavigamtioî to larger vessels from the - w*reuce 61 tothe head of Lake Superior , The 'ld canais had reduced the ýcM toi tras- Portaton. and hi th i-*y et only if helped the manufa turer but tic con ti suierand farmier as we1i., It w» %ts argued that fMtwer$" prod!e. la takentr butveiry littI by ewtbew utbu k is nevertleti WcJI kuio tbtheUi waejites,~lg-te iWu, and enlargement of aur canais bas in eveqy way assisted the farmer. Look- ing at the debt of Canada in compari- son with other counitries, Mr. Smnith showed that it avoraged about $50 per head of the population,' while in the Australian colonies the average ranged from $1 87.61 to $341.68. Our 3 per cent. debentures' are worth to-day 101 !4, ranking next to British Console. When we had a debt of about $75,ooo,- 000 our 5 per cent. bonds only sold at 75 per cent. ; quoting his exact words, -The financial position of a country is not t; be reckoned by its indebetness, but by its willingness and ability to pay. Lt is true that our debt is a large one; but we believe that it has been incur- red for good purposes; we believe it luas improved our financial position; we believe that when compared with other countries our debt is not alarming, and that as large as our debt may be to-day, we have behind it not only the willing- ness upon the part of the people 4f Canada, but the ability to meet every cent of obligation which may be rep- resented by that debt. Mr. Smith next dealt with the question of tax- ation, completely refutin g arguments advanced by Mr. McMulian. The Liberals proposed t; reduce the cus- tons duties by practising certain econo- mies. They had a controllable expen- diture of about$io,ooo,ooo ta work on, and if these gentlemen could point out where they economized in one single department during the five years they held office-and they were five years of great depression-there mright be some reason why we should take their word for it that they would meet proposed reductions in revenue by economny in expenditure. But until they cani do that they must be judged by their re- cord while in office ratherthan by their enuptv words of to-,day. Mr. Smith1 next took up the subject of the gov- ernnuent's policy in its relation t; agri- cultun-al nterests, showing by intro- conv-ertable figures that protection was so highlv beneficial t; the farmers that Canada to-day was the best wheat mar- ket in the world; and there had scar-i cclv been a year since 1879 that the farmers had not been able in one way or another to reap advantages from that policy. MIr. Smith next proceeeded t; show that une of the objects of the Na- tional Poli'cv WaS t; foster manufactur- ing industries, to build up towns and Cities that would afford farmers a home mîarkct. Hc admitted there was a ditffculty In esti mating the value of the honue market, but il was well known 1 that beforc confederation trade betweeni the provinces was Practic-aliy nil, while1 to-day- it amounted to millions of dol- jars, as a consequence of the far- seeîng anti progressive administration of thc Conservative partv. The National pol- icy hi ad helped the fruit industrv-an industry thuat is growingday by davNand year by year. and has became onie of thie nulost important in the country. In fresh meat, poultry, etc., the pre- i sent administration had puit efrsin 1 Liberals mean t; say after the efforts i Alhich have been put forth for the hast c thirty years, that there is any chance of s )ur getting a reciprocity treaty with the r LUnited States ? It is possible you may t get it if you give up everything they f ask. 1 admit Canada wants as many markets as possible,- but she does not s want ta have them free by paying too tnuch for them. Now, in connection t with this matter 1 want to point out t that not only the farmers but the peo- e ple of Canada generally, when they t have anything to, seil want to seil it to r those who do flot produce the same q thing. We have found that the British m Iemand Ïle almost illimitable, that they will not only take all that we can pro- c duce but will also take the surplus of s- every other country. In 1894 Great le 3ritian imported food çfroducts exclus- C ive of wheat to the value of $313,686,- ri 934. Now the Liberals dlaim that we b :ould scarcely exist without dloser b rade relations with the United States, e but when we go into the English mar- b :et we find that our principal competi- a tor is the United States, producing and ew txporting exactly upon thç same lines i swe do; and it appears to me that i fi iin our interest rather to court a mar- ci ket that asks for our surplIus, than go ti àto a market that produces a surplus n~ >f the same artcles as wc seek to ex- w xrt' In support o! this view Mr. h ýmith quot.ed,,Agures from- trade r.-o iusof801 Rsecin hebarley i narket, Mr. Smith ihowe4 that the use )f Smt in the muààctreof whlskey, b lie -Irnprved itethods of distilling, ctýc. *<a aýd -ât@Žtebetr mmret4an auv. rui no hésitation la IE*vlng theécliole to di~e free and dWserning -elmcors of Canada.
