COLONIZATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I think Ministers have come to a wise deternii•
nation in not attempting to conduct a systematic emigre'
tion and colonization. If they had undertaken to remove
our surplus population, they would have found it as Wl'
practicable as the French Government has done to pro'
vide employment for those who could not find it for
themselves. The unfitness of Government to do stns'
thing of the kind has been clearly shown, for during the
last twenty-three years nearly 900,000 of her Majesty'.
subjects have been almost forced, contrary to the wishes
of a majority of them, into the United states, there to
increase the wealth and power of our great rivals, with-
out an effort being made to assist or induce them to ga
to our own colonies. It is creditable to Ministers that
they have refused to turn so important an affair into a
mere job, which it would have become in their hands,
or in those of any other administration. Places repre-
sented by the most subservient and time-serving charae:
tern would have got their redundant population removed
at the cost of the nation, whilst the application of an iv:
dependent Member would have been disregarded. Tkss
we must have emigration to a very great extent is_e.
ob-
vious. The welfare of the mother country s!
pends on it quite as much as the prosperity
of of the colonies. The plan I suggested last

distinc-
tion must be made to encourage people to go out at their
own expense. Had this been done some years ago, when
the increasing population became pressing and alarming,
the poor-rates would not have been half what they *re;
and the employment for capital in the colonies would
have been so great, that British money would not have
been wasted in foreign loans and foreign railways, b°.
cause it could not meet with remunerative investment is
the British empire. Let every parish people a district.
which it might do to its advantage, for its rates would
soon begin to decrease, and the land it obtained from
Government would improve in value as settlers were
placed on it. We should then have such a systetnelw
colonization as no Government could produce.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
