(Cheers.) THE ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE. I come now to the estimated expenditure in accordance with the Estimates in the hands of hon. members, and it will be noticed that under the head of public institutions, and notably for insane asylums, there is an increased estimated expenditure. Members will pardon me if I again, as frequently on former occasions, call their attention to the very large increase in the num- ber of lunatics in this Province. In 1868 there were only 879 lunatics in Ontario; in 1874 we had 1,599, or an increase in six years of 83 per cent.; in 1881 we had 2,672, or an increase in seven years of 63 per cent.. Take all the institutions, and in 1868 we had 1,052 ; in 1874, 2,304 ; and in 1881, 3,851. This year we are providing for 85 in excess of 1881. Now one of the causes for the increase in the cost of the maintenance of our public institu- tions is owing to the new system introduced in purchasing meat for those institutions. We consume annually nearly 1,000,000 pounds of fresh meat in our public institutions. One cent per pound added to the cost means $10,000, and one can readily understand how very anxious the Government were not to make the cliange unless that change was demanded in the public interest. For instance, one and a half cents additional cost in meat adds to the cost of public institutions $15,000, and I am not prepared to say that the change proposed does not increase the cost of fresh meat over one cent. We are preparing a statement showing the exact amount, but I would not be '% •V .»■! I.-,. \ '■■ 5 m M ! ■ t ! I 12 surprised if the result shows that in this change we have added to the annual cost between $10,000 and $15,000. I had occasion the other day in this House to remark that the Government, while regarding cost as a very serious matter, were nevertheless bound, no matter what the cost might be, to furnish the inmates of those institutions with the same kind of meat as we had on our own tables. Some of those inmates have friends who are paying for their maintenance, while others had not, but in any case we thought that a rich Province like Ontario can surely afford to furnish meat of the best quality to these unfortunates. But there is another cause for the increase so far as the public institutions are concerned. COST OF COAL. The price of provisions generally has been considerably higher, and I may refer particularly to the item of coal. I will give the House the result of our purchases for some years past. Hon. members are aware that we pur- chase by public tender, that we advertise liberally, and purchase in large quantities, so that so far as the dealer is concerned it is an object to tender at the lowest price he can afford. The average price of coal from 1874 to 1879 — Mr. Meredith — Why do you fix 1879? Mr. Wood — Because a change — a marked change — took place in that year. From 1874 to 1879 the average price of soft coal was $4.18, and during the years 1880 and 1881 the price was $4.89, or an increase of 71 cents per ton. (Hear, hear.) The average price of hard coal from 1874 to 1879 was $5.05 ; but during the years 1880 and 1881 it was $5.55, or an increase of fifty cents per ton. In this calculation I have not included the Blind Asylum, the Hamilton Asylum not completed in 1874, or the Kingston Asylum which was in the hands of the Dominion Government up to 1876 ; but if you include from the time of the erection of the Blind Asylum and the Hamilton Asylum, and from the period at which the Kingston Asylum came into our hands, you will find that up to 1879 the average price of hard coal was $5.12 per ton, but for 1880 and 1881 the price was $5.81, or an increase of 69 cents per ton. The average price for soft coal, including those former exceptions, was up to 1879 $4.25, but in 1880 and 1881 it was $5.09, or an increase of 84 cents per ton. The quantity of coal used last year in the public institu- tions was : of soft coal, 6,250 tons, which at an increase of 71 cents made an increase of $4,437.50 ; of hard coal, 2,039 tons, which at an increased price of 50 cents made $1,019.50, or a total increased cost in the price of that one article alone of $5,457. (Hear, hear.) We have each year to ask for a vote extending some of our institutions. The deaf, the dumb, blind, and insane are found in all countries, and Ontario is no exception to the rule. BJ th| IS Ided to the annual other day in this i as a very serious light be, to furnish neat as we had on 'e paying for their lought that a rich ' the best quality increase so far as iiigher, and I may [ouse the result of vare that we pur- purchase in large )bject to tender at »m 1874 to 1879— place in that year. 8, and during the 7 1 cents per ton. 1879 was $5.05; ease of fifty cents ind Asylum, the )n Asylum which 876 ; but if you nd the Hamilton im came into our d coal was $5. 1 2 rease of 69 cents •rmer exceptions, or an increase of le public institu- )f 71 cents made at an increased the price of that year to ask for a umb, blind, and »tion to the rule. But, Sir, the more intelligent, enterprising and humane you find a people, the better are the provisions made for those unfortunates. Travel where you will throughout the United States, particularly in the cities of the Northern States, you find the people pointing with pride to the magnificent and costly public institutions of all kinds they have provided for those helpless creatures. Our institutions are not so'large, costly, or imposing, and we do not pay such high salaries to our oflacials ; the maintenance does not cost so much per head ; but regarding the welfare, health, and comfort of the patients, whether it is dietary regulations, or ample space provided in halls and corridors, or the matter of ventilation and other points, or in all that has regard to the welfare both of body and mind of the inmates, we stand second to no country in the world. (Cheers.) We had expended, prior to Confedera- tion, on buildings for the blind, the deaf and dumb, and the insane, $555,623. Since Confederation, $2,398,754, viz.: In the First Parliament $487,394 00 Second " 894,472 00 Third " 742,407 00 Fourth " (Syears). . .. 274,48100 or upon institutions of this kind a total of $2,954,377.00. Taking ail our public buildings, the amount expended on them prior to Confederation was $1,160,870; and since then, during the First Parliament $697,687 00 Second " 1,269,266 00 Third " 1,009,613 00 Fourth " (3 years) 423,873 00 or a total, including the $1,160,870, of $4,561,309. Now I propose, Mr. Speaker, to refer for a few moments to the Central Prison, a building that has cost us over half a million of money. I can hardly help thinking. Sir, that we are doing in that building largely penitentiary work — work not performed by any other Provincial institution in the Dominion. (Hear, hear.) It has often struck me that if we had no place to which judges could sentence prisoners to terms ranging from one to two years, that the very prisoners we are now keeping in the Central Prison would be sent to the Penitentiary. (Hear, hear.) I have myself used the argument in the past, and I know it is a good argument still, that justice should be carried out. After having gone to the expense of arresting, trying and convicting a prisoner, if the judge, who ascertained his character and offence, is of opinion that he ought to undergo hard labour for six months or a year, as the case may be, then it was our duty to make provision for such sentence being carried out. Whether it could be said that, so far as cities are con- 1 .-i 11 Mr ! ' > •i 14 cerned, we should provide hard labour for their prisoners is a matter for the serious consideration of this House. Before the Central Prison was built it was impracticable to furnish labour in the County Gaols for prisoners, and when sentenced to hard labour they very often got off without any labour at all. Without advancing any views as to what should or should not be done, I propose to give a few facts with regard to the Central Prison. Since that institution was opened it has received 4,812 prisoners, of which 1,235 came from Toronto, or over one-fourth of the whole ; 791 came from Hamilton, and 367 from London — so that these three cities furnished nearly one-half of the total inmates of the Central Prison. These figures include also the prisoners sent from the counties in which these places are situated. Of those sentenced to terms of imprisonment under six months, all the cities of the Province sent 1,663, while the rest of the Province sent only 300. Of those sentenced to terms over six months and under twelve, the cities sent 1,179, and the rest of the Province 619. Of those sentenced to terms over twelve months and under two years, the cities contributed 567, and the rest of the Province 484. When I say cities I do not mean Toronto, Hamilton and London alone — I mean all the cities. I now pass. Sir, to the question of charity, and my object in referring to it is not so much because we have expended a larger sum than last year, but for the purpose of bringing to the notice of the House the peculiar position we occupy in regard to this matter. I have always been in favour of this vote, and I think it will be a veiy unfortunate thing if it should happen at some future time that the majority of members should think the charity vote ought to be done away with. I have always taken the view that the importance of our making this vote lay not so much in the amount granted as in the encouragement which such votes gave to private subscriptions and donations, and in the stimulating effect which the action of the Government gave to the benevolence of private individuals. In 1872 the total amount received from private sub- scriptions and donations and all other sources combined by charities within the Province was $68,823, of which the Government contributed $43,020, or 62 per cent. In 1875 the total grant was $180,876, of which the Govern- ment paid $65,495, or 36 per cent., as compared with 62 per cent, in 1872. In 1881 the total amount paid was $237,089, of which the Government con- tributed $77,518, or 33 per cent. Our grant increased from $43,020 in 1872 to $77,518 in 1881, cr 80 per cent. ; municipal grants increased from $17,742 in 1872 to $36,189 in 1881, or 104 per cent, while private subscrip- tions and donations rose from $8,060 in 1872 to the munificent sum of $123,381 in 1881. (Applause.) !i I i 15 ■s is a matter for ,1 Prison was built .ols for prisoners, t off without any should or should i to the Central i 4,812 prisoners, (whole ; 791 came 36 cities furnished )n. These figures 1 these places are der six months, all Province sent only r twelve, the cities need to terms over 67, and the rest of ito, Hamilton and o the question of because we have of bringing to the ird to this matter, it will be a very that the majority ne away with, I king this vote lay ment which such the stimulating e benevolence of from private sub- y charities within )uted $43,020, or hich the Govern- )er cent, in 1872. Government con- $43,020 in 1872 increased from private subscrip- unificent sum of THE AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION. The next item to which I come is the vote of concurrence with reference to the Agricultural Commission. I take the liberty now of stating that I feel I have the right to claim the assent of members on the other side of the House to the statement that the pledges given by myself some two years ago on behalf of the Government have been fulfilled in every particular. I said then that the vote we were asking for was to defray the expense of a Com- mission in the character of which there should be nothing of a political or party nature, and I pledged that so far as the Government were concerned such considerations would not even be an element in any of the work of the Commission. The report of the Commission has been in the hands of the public over a year, it has been largely circulated, and I claim that whether you take the composition of the Commission, the witnesses examined, or the report itself, the pledge that the whole work would be carried out in a strictly non-political manner has been fully redeemed. (Cheers.) The amount may seem large by itself, but when you consider the quantity and quality of the work, and the magnitude of the interests it was intended to serve, it sinks into insignificance. T will now, if the House will bear with me, proceed to notice a few of the interests which this Agricultural Commis- sion's report was expected to serve and advance. We have in this Province some 11,000,000 acres of cleared land. If by reclaiming our worn-out lands, and a judicious system of rotation of crops, and by the scientific application of manures, we are able to increase the productive capacity of our cleared lands and make them worth only $2 per acre more, we shall have added to the wealth of this Province some $22,000,000. (Applause.) In the Old Country — I am speaking now of England and Ireland, and certain parts of Europe — the land has been fairly developed, but although in Ontario a large portion of the land is equal to any in Europe it has onlv been very partially de- veloped. In England, the average yield of wheat per acre for a number of years past has been 29| bushels ; in Ireland, 25 bushels ; in Denmai'k, 27 bushels; in Holland, 23 bushels; in Belgium, 22 bushels, and in Sweden, 19 bushels, while in Ontario the yield has only been between 15 and 16 bushels. In many of the other crops I have no doubt the same marked difference would be noticed. We grow nearly 18,000,000 bushels of wheat per year, 12,000,000 bushels of barley, 10,000,000 bushels of peas, 25,000,000 bushels of oats, 4,000,000 bushels of corn, 18,000,000 bushels of potatoes, 25,000,000 bushels of turnips, 3,000,000 bushels of carrots and mangolds, 500,000 bushels of rye, and 125,000 bushels of beans, the total value of which, exclusive of any other crops, taking it at a fair valuation, would be about $50,000,000. I ask the I I :1 16 agricultural members of this House, or rather those interested in or following agricultural pursuits, whether in regard to these crops there is not great room for improvement. I ask them if they can name any oae of the crops which I have mentioned that is grown as successfully as it is in the better developed and better cultivated countries of Europe. I ask them whether, in even the best of our townships, there is not, as a rule, a lack of scientific cultivation. I say it is a fair assumption that the Agricultural Commission Report, with its wide circulation, being sought after as it is by the farmers more eagerly than the most popular work of the most popular author — (applause) — and finding its way into nearly every farmhouse, will increase the products of this country by 10 per cent., and will consequently add $5,000,000 to the wealth of the Province. (Cheers.) Take the cattle trade. This is a trade of very recent development, and a very important one it is. It has much, very much, to do with the future prosperity of our Province. In 1877 we shipped cattle to the extent only of 1,400 head; in 1878 we shipped 18,655 head; in 1879, 26,176; in 1880, 50,817; and in 1881, 46,885. Of sheep we shipped in 1877, 9,509 head; in 1878, 41,250; in 1879, 78,780; in 1880, 81,547 ; and in 1881, 62,822. The United States, so far as cattle are con- cerned, shipped 40,280 more than we in 1881, while, on the other hand, our exports of sheep in that year were 62,822 head to their 29,185. (Applause.) We have over 1,700,000 head of cattle, worth at a low valuation $30,OUO,000, and I ask members of this House whether, so far as these cattle are con- cerned, there is not room for great improvement. (Hear, hear.) I have been obliged in making this calculation to estimate the value of the cattle of this Province at less than $20 per head. There are a few markets, it is true, where the best breeds of cattle can be bought, but, take the Province as a whole, the cattle are of a very inferior kind. We have also 500,000 horses, worth at least $30,000,000, and here again there is great room for improve- ment. Our sheep number 1,750,000, worth say $5,000,000, and we clip annually say 7,000,000 pounds of wool, which, at the average value of the last few years, is worth about $2,000,000. Any person, even though not a farmer, on reading the Report of the Agricultural Commission can see the very great room there is for improvement as regards the quality of our wool. I may add that we have 875,000 pigs, worth at a low estimate $3,000,000. I come now to, perhaps, a more interesting class of our products. We make in Ontario over 45,000,000 pounds of butter annually. I regret to say, as Minister of Agriculture, that it is 45,000,000 pounds of a very inferior article. That is the verdict upon it in England and other foreign markets, and there is no evading the unpleasant fact. It is very evident that, with our large annual product, a very small percentage of increase in quality would 8,1 17 ted in or following there is not great ly oae of the crops it is in the better k them whether, in K lack of scientific iltural Commission ; is by the farmers popular author — so, will increase the itly add $5,000,000 le trade.

I have lue of the cattle of markets, it is true, the Province as a ,lso 500,000 horses, room for improve- |0,000, and we clip t^erage value of the [even though not a liission can see the mality of our wool, atimate $3,000,000. toducts. We make I regret to say, as I of a very inferior Isr foreign markets, evident that, with Lse in quality would add a very large amount to the total value. We also make in this country over 50,000,000 pounds of cheese. I was not myself at all prepared for this large quantity yearly, but I have verified these figures as far as possible, not havin<^ the returns contained in the census of 1881 ; I have consulted with some of the prominent authorities on this question, and have come to the conclusion that 50,000,000 pounds of cheese is a low estimate. To get an idea of the improvement that has been made in the cheese trade, you have only to glance at the difference between the exports in 1871 and those for 1881. There were exported from Ontario and Quebec in the former year 8,263,273 pounds, and in the latter year 40,317,911 pounds. (A great deal of our stuff is shipped to Montreal, and the accounts not kept separate in consequence.) Much the larger proportion of these quantities come from Ontario, so that I think I am quite safe in saying, taking into account the amount consumed within the Province, that we make annually 50,000,000 pounds of cheese. I call the attention of the House to these figures to show the importance of the interests which the Agricultural Commission was in- tended to serve and advance. I admit that I have merely touched upon a few of the important matters in connection with the agricultural interests of the Province, and that it would take more time than is now at the disposal of the House to indicate fairly the interests for the furtherance of which that important Commission was intended. But I have said enough to show that, so far as expense is concerned, when it is compared with the results that have been achieved it sinks into insignificance. Now, Mr. Speaker, it has been charged that, from the formation of the present Government, it is not calcu- lated to sufficiently protect the interests of the farming community. It has been said that with the Government composed of five lawyers and one layman, it would be hard to expect that the agricultural interests would receive that attention at their hands that they deserved. It was said that it was unreason- able to expect that a Government so formed could understand the wants or sympathise with the desires of the farming community. But those making those statements forget to take into account the character of the ridings we represent. The charge could, it is true, have been urged with much force against the Sandfield Macdonald Government, which had four lawyers and one layman. Mr. Macdonald represented Cornwall ; Mr. Richards, the Town of Niagara ; Mr. Carling, the City of London ; Mr. Cameron, one of the ridings of Toronto, and the only member of that Government who could be reckoned to sympathise with a rural constituency was Hon. E. B. Wood, who repre- sented South Brant.

Shok Shop. On the 30th September, 1881 , 5 boys were working in the shop nine hours per day, so that they may become thorough workmen before leaving tho Institution, which they will probably all do in June ; and 21 boys were engaged before and after school, or about three hours per day. Tho output from the shop during the year ending .'Wth September, 1881, amounted to $1,3;{2.93. A largo proportion of this was for work done for the Institution. The re\ mue is not paid to the Treasury, but to a workshop fund, out of which is bought the matt.. J, tools, etc. Caupentkh's Shop. O'l an average 11 boys are employed, who are taught to make common furniture and do general repairs. Last year the value of the work amounted to $1,276, but, of course, pro- duced uo cash revenue. The girls are taught sewing, making and cutting-out clothes of all descriptions, fancy work, general domestic duties. No return is given of the actual number of days worked in each department. Farming and gardening are also carried on and taught to the boys. INSTITUTION FOR THE BLIND. Willow-work and cane-seating are the principal industries taught to the male pupils. The revenue derived is paid into the workshop fund ; it is used to buy material, tools, etc., to pay for the outfits of boya leaving the shop, and the allowance to the girls for knitting. The girls are taught to knit and sew by both hand and machine, also to make fancy work. The revenue last year from the willow shop and the knitted goods sold amounted t(» 11,773.00. - QC O GO h ^H Oh ^ 11 o ^ rU -M X^ •| 1 V o ■/3 Q r^ o -»3 -M 1—* 3 n -1.3 o -h9 1^ G HH '^ fi o bJ Ol cS2 S -1.3 c o O ^ m H < irs per day, so hich they will or about three ptemher, 1881, lie Institution. ia bought the ■niture and do )f course, pro- riptions, fancy ;ment. male pupils. ^1, tools, etc., • knitting. make fancy amounted to ^ .«J o w o rC -M a o a> t' n ■ ^H > 00 O X b 1-^ Oh ^^ 03 ^ -t^ m^ ^N •j_ D o 75 Q , (-* o -u x ■«J l-H 3 W -u 03 1^ -tJ c HH '73 ti o Rj J- 4* ■SrO I— • c 2 O J _goo^ » X ■5 S u Ed H H 02 8 .
