facets before us; was not the idea of going abroad to borrow money, one that ought never to have been en- tertained. as the only effect it could have upon the country, would be to drive capitalists out of it. The purchase of the Cunard Estates bas not injured the country ; aud if the Government were now to purchase another estate, as jarge and on the same terms, it would not injure the couutry, nor seriously affect any interest; nor would they require to go abroad to borrow the Money to pay for it; of course, while the tenants would be paying for their land, they would not be able two purchase as many goods as formerly, aud merchants would have to import less of them; but when the farmers would get their lands paid for, they would then be able to purchase double the quantity, and then ali classes would ive! the benefic of those purchases. I am glad that the (iovernment does not intend to bring in a coersive measure, at least | find such senti- ments put forth in the correspondence of the Hon. Atty. Genera! with the Coonial Office A good dal has been said about the Fifteen Years’ Purchase Act not being a compu sory measure ; but do they who say so, think thar the British Government, will allow them to pass a compulsory measure without consultins the parties coocerned? They woud not. When they hear the offer that may be made and the objections which have been urged against it, tt 's possible that the Home Government way allow such a Bill to be passed, but not before. When the correspondence oa this sub- ject is laid before the Iiouse, we shall be better able to form our opinion upow this subject. Lt has been said that until the Land Question is setrled, a fair election epnnot be had im this country, | believe this is true ; for sv long as am agitation can be kept up ou this ques- tion, unprineipled men will be ‘ound who mil endeavor to secure their elections by promising the peopie to get laods tor ‘bem for

Hoa. Me. Howtay --Mr. Chairman, we have listen- ed to an elaborate state;meut from the Finance Minister of the Opposition The bon member for Belfast (ton. Mr. Danean) jand, Sir. what does it all amount to? Le in orms this House that certain amounts of money are pow lying iu the Banks of this [s!and waiting for invest- ment, aud that it could be ewployed in the purchase of Jaad in this Island. He has told us that £58,000 are lying idle io our Banks, but he wight as well have made it TS O0VVU. But wil c.e hon. member tell this hon,

Committee, that this money cun be bad for such a pur- pose? Will be assert that these deposits, which are bear- ing interest at 5 per cout, can be invested in extending the provisions of the Land Purchase Billi? Some of these deposita belong to ehildren. 1 know of one family of children who have £40U0 so deposited ; and another portiva of these deposits consist of the savings of different families throughout the Island. Will the hon. member advise the Government to purchase lands with these deposits? As regards the sums not bearing jnterest, lying in the Banks, every body knows that there are very tew good sates on this sland, and gente- men in business, are in the habit, for greater security, of depositing their money in the Banks, and drawing it Out as they may require(t. Every mao in business knows this The money, therefore, thus deposited belongs to the legitimate channels of trade, and it would have been as reasonable for the hoa. member to have given a state- ment of the Bills receivable at the Banks, and have - said that these could be made available for the purchase of the estates of the Proprietors as these deposits. Sup- posing that the Government had an offer of 100,000 acres of land, would it be right for them to purchase it, and ran the risk of getting the money to pay for it, in the way indicated by the hon. mewber? IL am surpris- ed that the hon. wember, as a business man, should have made the statements he has, and [| wil! venture to state, that there is not a merchant in this Town who will en- dorse his opinion. Lust year he said there was plenty of woney, but on account of the Tenant Union it could not be obtained. All the Banks in the County are not in the position which the hoo. member has stated, for the Directors of one had io their Anoua) Report stated, that they were unable to deciare a dividend on account ‘of some commercial failures in England which affected them. If money has been found to purchase produce, it was not a reason for saying that there was a floating capital in the country whick the Government could have obtained for purchasing land. Lf Lord Melville or any other proprietor, took money out of this Island, i; would have injured the trade of the country, because it would have removed that much working capital out of the country; nor do I think that the commeroial affairs of this country are in as good a state as the hon. member would have this House believe, for [ have seen lately that two of the ships of the hou. member are not coming back here, and [ know that such would not be the case if matters were aS prosperous as the hon. member has endeavoured to make this bon. Committee believe. I think the hon. member has not fully considered the sub- Jeet upon which he has spoken.

Hon. Leaver oF THe Opposttioy.—Mr Chairman, if the hon. member who has last spoken, was surprised at the opijuions which were advanced by the hon. mem- ber for I$elfast, [ am equally astonished at those of the hon. mefmber for Tigniss. He said that the Directors of ove/ of our Banks. had anuounced that they were un- able sio deciare a dividen|, on account of some commer- ciasl failures which occurred in Kngland. [ do not kfnow which Bauk the bon. member bas alluded to.

Hon. Mr. Howtan.--I referred to the Suinmerside Bank.

Hon. Leaver or tus Ovrosrtiov.—As a shareholder, 1 feelan interest in these statements, and am quite satis- fi.d that the direetors of that Bank, when tney made that statement, done s> to cover their own care- lessness, Had they looked after their business, as they should have dove, they would not have had any occasion for making such a statement. The reason why they could not declare a dividend was, because they allowed some men in Prince County to have too much erelit in that Bank—men who ought not to have had so much credit—but who bad unfortunately too much étock in that Bavk, and exercised too much influence « in controlling its affairs. [ad the busin s of that Bank been properly managed, no such results would have happeoed ; for we know that in this town the Banks have met all their demands, in addition to ten per cent. on the capitai stock ; and one bas declared a “bonus of five per ceat. There is one thing. Sir, for which L wust congratulate the Government, aud that is for the declar- ation made by the hon, the Attorney General, that the Goveromeot have opeved up & corre-pondence with the llome Government, by which, they hope to be able to jutroduce, and carry a measure which will force the pro- prietors to sell. Ido not intend to express an opinion aw. eithor for or against such a me-sure; but | think Sie, that it was always oue of the g aid doctrines of the party cow in power, that under responsible gov- ernment there would be no necessity to go cap in hand to the Colona! Office, to consult about any measure relating to the local interests of this Island. They were in the habit of saying that under Responsible Government we would have power to pass any such mea- eure ; but it seems now tat a change has come over the spirit of their political dreams. 1 vever expected to see the day when the hon member for Belfast (Hon. Mr, Davies), as a member of tie Government, would bow to that. But, Sir, when geatlemen get into power, they have to submit to a good deal whieh they would not admit that they would submit too when they are on the politieal stamp. I will abide my time for expressing an opinion on this matter, until [ shall see the reply whieh the Government may receive from the Colonia! Offive, to which the learned Attorney General referred, and us my learned and bon. friend belongs to the Rifle Brigade, it will be interesting to write the result of his onslaught upon the proprietors; 1 think, though, that if | eould dive into his conscience, [ would discern that he thinks such jegislation will not go down with the Home Goverement, no more than with the Proprietors at Home. I would like, ‘hough, if the bon Atty, Gene- ral woald foreshadow the priuciplesof the measure which he proposes to introduce. Does be intend to place those who agreed to the Lund |’urehase Act upon a level with those who would uot sabmit to it? Ls a distinction to ‘pe drawn between those resident in the [sland and those who are not? Are those who submitted to the appoint- meat of the Land Comentedthand those who ask twenty years’ purchase, with ail back Peute to be treated alike? I think « distioetion should be draws between those Piving bere and those who live in England. 1 should

| was requested, before I left England, to put the Lon in the market, but L thought it would nof be well tu do so, as the object for which the Loan was to be obtuined could not be carried. Itis avery strange thing thet all the members on one side of the House take one view of any inatter ; and allon the other eide take exactly the opposite view. ‘The eountry would have been in a better position had it not been called upon to send so mueh money away as payment for the Cunard Estate.

Mr. Brecxen.—This debate has taken a very wide range; but | think the question at issue between the Gov- ernment and tie Opposition is a yery small one. We have a sincere desire to see the credit of the Colony atand high; but it will easily be seen on whieh side of the House The hon. Attorney General is at a loss to understand how the members on one side of the House hold one opinion, and those on the other side quite a different one; but he should be aware by this time that there is such a thing as a political con- science. No sooner did the Government come into power last year than they passed the Loan Bill. This side of the Honse, assuming that it was for the purpose of pur- chasing land, said it was time enough to get the Loan when it was known that land could be obtained ; but the Government said that was not the only purpose for?which it was required. Now, Sir, the Colony” has strugzled through its difficulty, and [ admit that the high price of grain hae helped ic. But if, as the hon. Attorney Gene- ral says, it would be for the benefit of the Colony, why not get the Loan yet? I think they dealt with a matter they did not understand. L think it was well for the country that it was the hon. Attorney General who went to England to negotiate the Loan. Suppose that money had been plenty when the hon. Attorney General went home, and he had obtained the Loan, where would the Government be to-day? They would have £50,000 on their hands, for which they would be paying interegt, as no proprietors will agree to sell their land; they would be like the man who got a present of a white elephant, and found be had more than he could take care of. My hon. friend says the Government are in the position of a man who has his money in the Bank; but they are in the position of a man who has his note in his pocket, and is offering it at a discount, but connot tind a@ purchaser. Had my hon. friend, the member for Belfast, been sent home instead of the Attorney General, we should have had the £50.0U0, and would not know what to do with it.

they say give us 15 years’ purchase and we will. I consider that the Fifteen Years’ Purchase Bill is not a fair criterion to go by. That Bill was passed for the

benefit of individuals who might choose to purchase their

farms, but it was .ever intended that the Government ehould pay such a price for land. have refused a!i reasonable offers, and pow [ think some other course must be pursued. After so much of the land has beew purchased under the Land Purchase Bil, the remaining (caantry will not be very wel! satisfied to pay rent. L bope that some measure similar to that adupted in refereuce to the Seigniors of Canada will be passed here. We would like it to be settied fairly, but if it cannot be settled without stringent measures, L thinkit is tome that both parties endeavoured to carry them out. The late Government passed the Fifteon Years’ Purchase Bill, and many thought that this was to make » final se:tlement of the question, but it has not deve so. ‘Ihe present Government bave done all they could to settle the question. We heard a great deal of argument against the Loan Bil. L would ask, if we sent a bundred thousand pounds out of the country, would it not embarrass the Bunks and cause a depression of trade. A great many peuple believe that it is the payment of the money for the Cunard H-tate that caused the moueiary depression in the Colony. Lf large Estates are to be purchased, we should get the money frow some other place, and not drain the Colony of its floating capital. When Mr. Cunard was here L request- ed him wot to demand all gold in payment of the iustal- ments then due, and he complied with my request.

Luau, but they uever intended to get the money and let it lie idle. Some of the absentee proprietors did not understand our system of paymen 4; for instance, one of them thought that be ws not paid because he had only the Debentures of the Island. As the proprietors were not willing to sell, it was not necrssary to get the Loan. As far as the fivancial state of the country is concern- ed, we are io as good a state as any other place. Our debt does not exceed one year’s revenue. We must expect the Opposition will say a great deal against this loau, especially the hon. member from Belfast, (\:r. Duseau) who has taken his place es financier of the House. He always tries to show thar the Colony is in a flourishing condition, and this helps the Government. If a loan is required,why should not we get it as weil as Nova Scotia aud New B uvewick? There is a great dea! of money in Nova Scotia, yet, wheu a large sum is wanted for avy purpose, they think it better to get it from some other place. If we had obtained the Loan by selling bonds at 99, we should have been able to :ell the gold here at a premium of 2 per cent. tunately there was @ demand for oats in the British market last season, but had it been otherwise, the Banks would pot have been able to get steriing exchange. Hon. Leapsr or tue Opposition.—I believe, Mr. Chairman, it has been said by some celebrated man that you can do anything with figures, and we see this illus- trated here every day, A member on the Government side of the House, builds up a great array of figures, and the hon. member from Belfast (Mr. Duncan) tears it all to pieces said what would be the effect if we bad obtained the Loan. But I do not understand where this 2 per cent is to come from. I think the credit of this Colnoy is second

It would be better for a poor man who settles down on a farm, to cuntinue paying his rent, than borrow money to purchase his farm. I believe that twenty-five per cent. of the rents in this Island are never sued for, and never paid. It you press this ques- tion too far you may get rid of the absentee proprietors, aud get a number of small oues on the Island. If the Governiwent do negotiate a joan, [ hope they will do so oa terma advantageous to the country. I am leave it in the hands of the Attorney General. If you push this matter too far, what are you going to do with the poorer class of Tenants, who cannot now pay their rent. Bauperston, Reporter. Mr. Prowse.—I wi | express my views on this subject in a few words. ‘The desirableness of converting the leasehold lands of the Colony ivto fee simple, is admitted by hon. members on both sides of the House. I have the honor to represent many leaseholders, and [ am aware that there are many of the poor tenantry who would rather live upon two meals a day than con- tinue to pay rent. ‘I'ney are bound to have free land or to leave the Island. They would rather endure priva- tions and hardships for a time, by paying the instalments which would be required, than remain uuder the preseut Jeasehold Systein. In reference to the Loan Bill the Government give the Committee to understand thet £95 per cent. could be obtained abroad for the Govern ment Bonds. Now, we know that they could not g ¢ more thon £90, or at the most £93 per cent. It is more probable that the rate would be three or four per 1 think that those who have money in this Colony should be allowed the same privi lege as those who reside in other parts. The loss on the transaction would be about ten or eleven per cent., and the incidental expenses would also be very considerable. Much has been said about the Fifteen Years’ Purchase Bill by some hon. members of the Government. They say that it will be a stumbling block to every future Government. Why do they not strike it out of the Statute Book? They cay it is a coercive measure, but it is not, It has relieved the tenantry from heavy bur- dens, which they would otherwise have beea required to bear. The hon. member for Cavendish has aluded to the loyalty of the tenantry in very disparaging termes. Perhaps he refers to the Tenant Leaguers.

be on the verge of the grave, and the parents having lost confidence in everything in the medical line, we undertook the eure for a certain sum, and if we failed we were to get nothing: but we succeeded,

What a variety cf opinions is to be found in the Go- vernment rauks? They are, indeed, a bappy family ! Mr. McNertu.—As the hon. member bas put a wrong construction upon some of my remarks, L will correct him.

As long as men’s minds are constituted as they are, they cannot be expected to kiss the hand that smote them. I donot intend to allow the hon. member to flourish his yard-stick over me in that manner. How did the late Government act in regard to this matter ? One of the first steps they took was to disarm our Volunteers, on account of the disturbances arising out of the Land Question.
