within ourselves to undertake the burden ol'sucii a large amount of expenditure. I But the scheme bring.r pronounced teasi- ble. by (-Xperienced engineers, this. capital nill be supplied by other older and ' richer countries, in consideration of a, certain extent of wild lands beiugl granted by this Province, as eoilaleral seen.in tor the success of this invest- ment; and remember sir, that this capi- tal will not. Come alone, but capital brings and begets capital, so that instead of therebcing introduced into the country some $40,000,000. there will in all pro- 1 inability be nearly as much more Within 1 the next ten years, if the work is at once commenced. And What, sir, is the “ quid pro que" which it is proposed we ‘ should give for the expenditure of such' a vast amount of capital and the neces- sarily vast'bcneficial results attendant upon such expenditure. Why, 811‘, sim- ply the giving the company, or set of men who undertake the work, under cer- tain checks and guarantees. a tract of land. which is at present utterly useless to this Province. and which might long continue so, unless some public work as thisis undertaken. And, sir, is there anything singular in a proposal of this nature? Do we not all know that it is by means precisely similar to this that our neighbors on the other side of the lake have progressed so far and so quickly across this vast continent within the last twenty years. Sir, we know that all their great railways and canals, at least- in the west, have been built or partially built upon this system. And, Sir, what has been the consequence? The tide of emigration has rolled in that direction, and there we see or hear continually of prosperous towns and cities sprirg up in a few years, and of unlimted tracts of waste lands made Subservient to cu‘tivation. And not onâ€" ly. sir, is it a fact that our wild lands which are proposed to be granted are useless to us at presentvat least but it is also a, fact that in a short time there would be alarge revenue in the shape of taxation from the settlers upon the lands of the company, as I suppose it i 1... . u...) .HJ u‘ ,ProrinCe more or less. Certainly along: the line ol'route there may be advantages , . . -» ' but to a larger extent than in some lnc'ilitics, but. I would .appcal to the right l'eolingr. the sound common sense, and the candid judgment of this House. not in any case to look at the matter in the potty way that has been suggested in some, but; am happy to say, rare instances, For. sir. the work is one which if ever accomplishnd, will he a Provincial one, and one which should be equally a source of pride, and to a great extent ot benefit to the man in Saruia, Toronto or Cornwall. and we know that it is irnpossi‘rle to have canals or railways to suit everr lo cality. All that we claim for this route is that it is the liest and most practicahle and beneficial for this Province. Next. sir. I would wish this House to lonk at the work as o-ic of thc courier-tin: links between the Atlantic and Pacific. a route which. in time, I hone and think will he establish d, and one which will he so heneiicial to our mother country and ourselves in makiu: the great l1i1lnvut' of commerce From m‘tuv of those rich Asiastic countris p-iss throule our midst and along the shortestline of route to Europe.

We know too that, it only requires capital to. drvelope the lumlwring, fishing, Popper and other mineral interests of that region, and that there is no othvr reason why we" on the north shore should not he as -v-os;»r~rons us those 0n tho south. _ So for us the route lJI’ymHl Lake Superior is con- ('crn<-il,~l hope to hear something trom the Government and trust by w'ntsocver Govv ernnwm it is accolnnlishrid. this mic or the one at Ottawa. that it will not he many yrat's l'eforc “'0 have a railwnr from F‘oit William to Fort Garry the neth connectin: link in the line of communication to the Pacific. Then, sir, as to the argument whi:h has been advanced that the choice of this route will affect another canal, the Welland, I see no force in that at all if the scheme is a practicable our! beneficial one As well might it he said, and in fat-t with a grout deal more fore». thotthc proposed lines of railway from Toronto or Guolph to Grey and Bruce would he detrimental to the interests of the Grand Trunk, Great West em and Northern railways. or that illu south shore road Would interfere with the Great Western, or that any two of these railways Would interfere with the third; hut still it has been found to il)Q:ldV11Hi‘<L;§8 of this Country, as well as others, to have it iiitersvctcd with lines of railway wherever the-re may be a prohahle expectation of a remunerativn return for the capital involv Pd.

'l‘hen, sir, as to the utility of the scheme in an agricultural and pro- \‘lnciul point of view, I think it‘will be obvious to every one, that, the introduc- tion of' such a large amount of" capital must increase the value of' every product in the country, of' property, and in fact. oft-vorythiugr which has a monev value. and surely that should be the aim and Object 09' every country in order to make it prusraemus.

And, sir, it cannot be denied that a. canal on the Ottawa, from its more northern latitude, must be frozen up a much longer time during the autumn and “inter mnnths. The next point to which I l would refer is one of great moment. con- nected with this schemeâ€"one. sir. I con- sider of vital importance to the prosiierity of this country, and that is the :nducement it will give to emigrants to remain in this country instead of progressing to those Western States. on the other side of the lakes. Ithiuk it will be admitted on all hands that there is a want in this country in this .espect, in fact that many of our young men are cunlinnully going to our neiflihns on the othet side in order to ob tain varieties of employment which are not to he got. here. Now, sir, in my opinion this work would be eminently heneficiul us ti remedy for both these evils, for I suppose it will be granted that the greater annount of population we can obtain In our cmntry, the mere beneficial it will be for It; and we know), si', that emigratlon begets WM wilxin: that the pelitinneus should Bé heard, he felt bound Io state that he was nppnsed tn the wlmle scheme.

A cut of vastly loss exent in the Welland <' canal has been a great source of trouble on account of land slips. Then, again. it is not certain that. there is water enough in Lake Simcoe to supply the canal in a. dry season. Both ends of the canal have to be fed from this lake, so that the evaporation over the whole canal must be very great. But even if the work be possible, is it practicable, or will it pay. He then went on to show, by reference to statistics and licures, that unless an extremely heavy rate of tolls was levied, the work could not possibly pay. The work is estimated to Cost $10,000,000, which at 5 per cent would be $2,000,000, interest, if to this be added the cost of management and main- teinance say $500,000 which would make $2,500,000 in order to pay five per cent and the cost of management If an average of 24 vessels pass through the canal each day, and for 30 weeks in the year, 4,320 vessels pass through in the year. In order to raise the revenue of 23’; millions above named from these 4,320 vessels, the sum of $582 tolls would have to be levied on each vessel. As part of the vessels would go through lizht, the loaded vessels would have to pay a larger sum than that above named. If the average tonage of the vessels passing through the canal be 600 tons, then the tolls per ton must be about Elslpor ton. But no shipping could bear such a toll, so that the revenue above named could not be realized,‘ which indicates clearly that the interest and cost of management would not be received. According to the statement of the pro: jectors of this scheme, the rate of 80 cents per ton tolls is proposed to be charged. 0n the Welland Canal the rate per ton for such articles as corn, wheat, coal, iron, minerals, salt, &c.. is 20 cents. Now the articles in this class constituted the principle articles shipped through our canals. H the Welland canal only charge 200, and the Georqian Bay canal charge 800,Would it not pay vessels handsomely to go round by the Welland canal for this dill'erence. Where, then, is the inducement in the construction of this canal it" such a. rate of tolls is necessary to be charged. Again, the savingr of time by the Georgian Bay route would be very litttle. if any. The lockazc would be nearly double, and the leuth of the Canal would be much more than double, so that the extra time would nearly, if not quite, carry thorn round by the regular lake channel. He went on to show that the Welland canal could easily be enlarged so as to meet all the re- quirements of commerce for years to come. The Welland Canal now only paid a srmll per centage on the investment, and it be comes the duty of this Hons»: not to in. jure our provincial public works by encour- aging rival works which are not needed by the present demands of our country. He went on to show that the grant. of land of ten millions of acres, was asked, not so much on account of the value to the land : s to give strength to the enterprise aboard. They could not at'ford to settle the lands on the favorable terms the Government is now doing. viz: my five grants. If they made roads throuxzh these lands and gave thxm away, what proceeds could they have to boil-'1 their canal and it' they did not adopt this liberal policy the country most sull'er. Mr COCKBURN was in favorrof grantxug lands to railway eqterprizes, which he thought. were best qualified tq develop the resources of the country. ' Mr. MeCoLL followed in the same strain, and refemug‘ m the money which the Do- minim) had expended in fortifications. said it Wuuid have been far better applied in opening up more channels for navigation and trade. public Ian-(ls. Hut hé thonghflhe Qttawa route was the shortest and best. Mr FERGUSON was in favor ofthe petitions ‘being received. because they asked for no money grantâ€"only for useless lands which l the Province had in its power to give. He lrehuttcd the arguments of the member for lVVelland and ridiculed his calculations. ;Capitalists, both here and in Europe, were quite well able to take care of themselves; the old parliament of Canada in 1865 pro- nounced this scheme as one of the utmost importance t0 the general and material interest of the province at large. The best engineer in England, whose very name alone was sufficient to stamp this project with importance, had proved the feasi- hility of its living carried out,and his opinion had. been endorsed by engineers here and in the lowerprovinces, and, as it would not take one sltillln‘! from the public purse, the scheme should be. in every possihle way (mCout‘zInfed. Au exi’tendituue of 340.000,- 000 in the m untry was not. to be laurhed at. It would be lmWise for any member of the House to object to the scheme.

The Attorney~GeneraL in the present case, ought to relax what he called his iron rule, and allow these petitions to be brought up, re- t‘er them to a'COmmittee and deal with them as the public expectedg Mr. MACDONALD rebuked the member for Algoma for his assumed independence. It was notorious that he was unfavorable to (he scheme itself, but he thought he would make a little outside capital by thus pub- lielv expressing: himself. He had no ob- jection tx these petition! being laid on the table, and. of course, the motion would be granted. But it was quite smother thing to say that ministers, because certain peti- tions lmd been presented. would vote away ten millions of acres of the public domain. unless they were satisfied that it could be well utilizsd and turned to good ac- count.

A raiiroad from Fort William to Red River would open up Our north-west, zmd snoh a work would have a just Chill“ for for a grant of land. It is the duty of this House to encourage works of utility and mt those of a visionary character. This House @nzht not to giant. large blocks 0t land and thus look them up in the hands of speculators for a work which this country does not at pre;ent require, Mr. CUMBERLAND could not see why petitilions so numerously and res pectably, and he might, add. so influentially signed. should not be laid on the table. It would then be for the House to decide calmly and uQOlly what it was goTnnr to do, and whether this vpplicution for a. grant of land should be entertained or not. i ‘ Hunt's Hair Gloss prevents the Hair from Stun-Ding Gray. Mr. SCOTT (Grey) was in favor of the scheme, and would even give more than ten millions of acres to help to carry out this great enterprise. Mr. PAXTON was prepared to give a due consideration to all the routes proposed for opening navigation, and thought the peiitions sought by the resolution to be introduced ought not to be checked off now. The Government ought to follow up this resolution bv appointing a. committee to examine the snbjett; It was a. ques- tion of too great importance to be lost sight of. The reso‘mtion was_carried, and at six o’clock the House rose. NOE'I-ht’l'il Railway of Canada As for Mr. Richard L. Denison’s conâ€" duct, we feel grieved ; and would, gladly, have spared ourselves the mortification of publishing his shame and disgrace, had we not a duty to perform towards our readers. ‘We regret to have to say that Mr. Denison’s position is humiliating in the extreme ; for he is not only found to be a. defaulter to a large amount, but his veracity stands impeached by his own letters ; and when he resorts to trumping up a charge of $6,338 for receiving and paying the funds of the Society, we are inclined to say that he makes his defal~ cation more disgraceful. He was a isalaried ofiicer of the Board, and was ‘ paid that salary for performing the duties required of him. If he thought he was not fairly remunerated, he should have informed the Board; and if they could not meet his expectation, he should have resignedâ€"not trump up .a charge ‘covering fifteen years of his official con- nection with the Board. Much credit is due to the Hon. Mr. Carling, who, as Commissioner ongriculture,has brought ‘to a close the ofiicial career of Messrs. ()hristie, Denison and Thompson, sovfar as the Board of Agriculture is concerned- Ever since Mr. Sandfield McDonald took charge of the afl'airs of this province, we find him straightening out many crooked things, and applying the pruning-knife to decayed limbs of the body politic; we fancy we can trace his dexter hand in opening up the corrupt state of the Board of Agrlculturc. We trust that a com- plete rennovation will take place, and that there will be a searching inquiry into all past transactionsâ€"for we are now inclined to think that the worst is not yet known.

We have delayed offering any remarks upon the recent expose in regard to the state of the finances of the Board of Agriculture, because we were anxious to hear all that could be brought forward for the defence. We have read the 1H..an David Christie’s indignant speech at the meeting of the Board,- and Mr. Richard L. Denison’s letter, both of which are riddled by Mr. Thomas White’s rejoin- der. We have heretofore been inclined to think favourably .of Mr. Christie, from what We had heard ; but now that we have seen him, in this exhibition be- fore the Board of Agriculture, we have changed our mind, and feel disposed to conclude that Lord Elgin was not astray in his estimate of that gentleman. Poor Christie, he is evidently immensely pufl'ed up with 1118 mm selfisufliexencv, and ar- pears to labour under the delusion that his frown would extinguish the Com- missioner of Agriculture. To ourimind, it is quite clear the whole institution has been mismanaged for years; we do not believe that the books have, at any time, been thoroughly audited. We have some little knowledge We “are work- ed ; as a general thing-,euditors do not understand the work they have to do; those who do, appear to be afl‘eeted with a feeling of delicacy, and take thingsfor granted into which they should make rlgid enquiry, and the consequence is that what purports to be an audit, is a farce, and leaves it in the power of a dis- honest Treasurer to make an impoper use of the funds entrusted to him. There is something wrong, also, in the way in which the Secretary of the Board has discharged his duty; if he‘acted as a faithful and well paid ofliccr should have done, the Board would have been called together as soon as the government gave the first turn of the screw. When a man is paid $1,200 a year salary, he should not neglect his duty. ELEM: $33M RICHMOND HILL STATION. AGRICULTURAL FUNDS. RICHMOND HILL, JAN. 22. 1869. figwwafifl.
