GROWN LANDS OF CANADA,

Mr.. Mcpherson has made a movement in
the Legislative Council to open the Crown
Lands of the Province to actual settlers as
free grants. He thought the policy Of the
United States was far preferable to that of
Canada. Hisobjeet is to turn the tide of emil
grafton from us to Canada. Since 1888 the
United States have received nearly five mil
hons of immigrants against seven hundred
thousand who came by the way Of the st. Law
renee. Mr.. MCPHERSON thinks much of the
large balance against Canada may fairly be at
tributed to the difference in the respective
land policies of the two countries. Other gen
tlemen concurred with Mr. McPAersonson this
subject. But the Hon. Mr. Campbell could
not regard this movement as beneficial to
Canada. He thought the House must count
the cost of such a sweeping measure. He did
not believe in giving away the public lands,
and yet he would consent to dispose Of them
at reduced prices to actual settlers. The Ca
nadians pre- much agitated on, the subject of
emigration. They are anxious to do some
thing to keep all the inhabitants they now
have. and get as many more as possible. The
fact IS, the people Of the Provinces are flock
ing in large numbers to the States, and this
tide they are anxious oxstop.9 We do not
not blame them, But great changes must be
wrought in Canada before such q tide can be
stopped. ;fs,y tsfes fssf,i
