admission of lease.holders to the benefit of
the Act, and on advance of the entire purchase
money by the state at low rate Of interest ;
the principal to be paid during an extended
period. Proposals will also be advocsted for the

benefit Of tenants. The claims of laborers to
better dwellings and allotments will be incor.
porased in the programme. Laborers are

provements in the Land Act as will enable
farmers TO deal generously with them. The

| organizations for fostering the demand for

| elder that the exit of the tunnel should be;
commanded by a fortress of the 6-st-ciass
that the tunnel should slso be provided with
g porticullis, and with an arrangement fer
| filling it for sufficient space with irrespira.
bic gas and that measures should be taken
| fer the demolition of the land portion of the
| tunnel, for temporary flooding of the main
tunnel, and also for its total destruction by q
nine. These arrangements should be COZ p.
troiied by separate parties both inside ard
outside the commanding fortress. When all
