know where to find them unless they are ad-
vertised and registered in some we'll known and
accessible locality. For this the Bureau of
Immigration has partly been established.
Without any charge whatever to the land
owner, his lands that he can spare for sale, will
be registered and advertised in the best markets
of the world. Bnt how can this be done, un-
less you forward the Information ?-Have you
no lands to spare7 Ifyou have put on fair
and reasonable price, make the conditions of
payment as liberal as you can, describe their
location, capacities and advantages, and COM
nunicate with this Bureau. It may be said,
'we will sell portion Of lands reasonable and
on fair enough terms, if purchaser come"
But it must be remembered that no one can
know this, and besides, that tho stranger will
be at great expense, whilst in uncertainty
looking for lands, Of which no one can inform
him. Will be not rather go to section of
country where no such delays and difficulties
need be encountered? And then again the
European immigrants that are looking for en-
ployment, laborers, servants, mechanics, etc.,
Of every kind, where are they to find it1 In
your villages, on your plantations, do you
want blacksmith, wheelwright, carpenter,
cabinet maker, saddler, shoemaker, tailor, ETC.,
this Bureau will endeavor to supply you. But
you should say so-how else am to know
1t would never do to send such people tramp
ling about tho country without an object. Do
you have any good positions for factories, which
you are unwilling or unable to develop your
selves, why should you not inform this Bureau;
therefore state their facilities and advantages,
their probable prospect Of success, and the
terms of lease or sale? Doyou have valuable
mineral lands that you cannot realize for the
want of capital, why not enable me to cndcavor
to do it for you? It will cost you nothing
would respectfully but earnestly urge that
this matter receive prompt consideration. IF
there are few men in every district willing to
spend few hours for the general good, let
them moct at convenient place, let them
gather such information as they can, and then
inform this Bureau what is wanted for their
neighborhood anu what can. be done there to
further the intentions Of the law; let them
say what laborers, servants, mechanics, etc,
are wanted or could find employment, and let
them fix upon current rate of reasonable
wages for their district; let them cndcavor
also to obtain information of such tracts of
lands, as might be had for lease or sale, de-
scribe their quality and value, and whatever
else they may deem Of Importance. I most
respectfully, therefore, solicit the cooperation
of all public spirited men, more especially of
the members of the Legislature and tho editors
Of public journals. Under the firm conviction
that immigration is one of the most vital nc
ccssitics of tho State, and a sure means by
which portion of our former prosperity may
be soonest restored, even take the liberty re-
spectfully to solicit the honorable the Judges,
| to bring this matter to the attention of the
public in their charges to tho Grand Juries on
their circuits
Respectfully,
JOHN a. WAGNER,
