MR FERGUSON'S SPESCH-—-CONTINUED, The purchase ef Government Lands by the tenants has been referred to by the hen. member for Tignish. [I had no idea that the hon. ter er Was so communistic in his views. IHfosaid that before long the pay- ment of the amounts due the Government for lands would be as obnoxious as the pay- ment of rent. I don’t sve wiry this should be so. he Government purchased the lands froia the a apes ana have seid) them to the tenants at a great sacrifice. An obligation lies upon the people to pay their instalments as they become due ; and I think that no person should complain at ail when required to pay the amounis owing to the Government for lands. I: isundoubtedly the duty of every public main to impress the pe ople with an idea of che importance at necessity of paying their instaluients in fall ; and every politiciat shouid, with a view of winding up the afisirs of the Land Oilive as soon as possible, de his best to ind luce the farmers of the Isiand to come forward and arrange with the fry Government fer tie purchase of} the lands they hold. No man the permaiic it interests of ihis ice at heart would say that the tenants should net cheerfully pay pin ir instalments to the having ) Pn iivuy Government.
