Mr. Perers Legislature thia forenoon, 4 setting forth : “That it is expedient to iutroduce a bill with regard to the public lands of this prov- ince, authorizing the Commissioner of Lands to make reductions to pe"sons Who pay off the amount of their iadebtedness to the Government for the purchase money ol lands before certain dates, that is to say, any person payiog off before the 15th day of Dece mber next, A D 1891, a reduction of 12 per cent: and persons p»ying off before the Lith day of June, A D 1892,a reduction of S per nt; any persoa paying off before the Loth day of December, A D 1892, a reduction of 6 per cent. re “Said bill also to contain provisions that the power to grant said reductions is hut to be construed as preventing the commissioner from proceeding to collect immediately, uf it 13 so desired. i “Said bill also to contain provision tor re ducing the cost of proceedings under pre cepts. , sub nitted to the resolution It is preaeumed that the proposed measure, when formulated, will be entitled ** A Bill to rob the many who have paid in full for their lands for the benefit of the few who haven't paid in full, and for the purpose ot to borrew money on ol inducing the latter mortgage, to capitalists, and for other purposes. This is the plain English of it. We await developments. the further enrichment Netes and Comments. —*fFhe Government have pursued a bold and statesmanlike policy in abolishing atone stroke three and a half millien dollars duty on sugar. This will retuce the price of sugar at retail to about four cents or a little over if fureign prices hold. In view of this tremendous reduction of duties, people who indulge in such beverages as spirits and beer, or who solace themselves with pipe or cigar can well afford the slight extra cost of chese luxuries.” —The Montreal Gazette remarks that in his Budget speech in 1889, Mr, Foster \en- tured the bold prediction that the whole expenditure of the country, ordinary and capital, could be met upto July 1, 1892, without the addition of a dollar to the pub- lic debt. The assertiou was received with incredulity at the time in some ;uarters, in the belief that the Finance Minister had taken too sanguine a view of the situation, and on the part of the Opposition it was made the subject of much ridicule; yet Mr. Foster has been able up to this time literally te fulfill the promise, in spite of a considerable loss of deposits in the Giovern- iment savings banks in consequence of the reduction in the rate of interest from 4. to 34 per cent.

He did not consider this fair. It vas nothing less than class legislation, and the poor man would be the suffer by it, Hon.

He could not see why stage, after two-thirds of the people of the country had made a and had borrowed money to do so. Had it been introduced when the land question was taken up it would have been different. Now it will give an advantage to persons who were tov lazy and indolent to pay up before, that was not granted those who in the past made an effort to settle up their acccunts with the Land Office. He did not think the House could honestly enact such legislation as outlined in the resolution, legislation that would do an in justice to a large class of farmers in the country. He would certainly vote against giving one man an advantage that was not given another. He thought there should be some provision fora refund. Mr. H. C. Macdonald saidthat the policy of the Government waa to do away with the Land Office, and spoke in favor of the proposed bill.
