These “Bein’ it’s you " chaps are always worth watching, but how a business man can be .mch a fool as to trap himself so easily is more than most people can figure out. Whenever a business man makes a special offer simply because it’s you, the same man is likely to make the same offer or a better one to his next customer hein' it's him. But the "Bein’ it's you " fellows are not the worst if only they stay with their bargain. The tacking on of the extra five cents in the case just quoted gain- ed the merchant a nickel but lost him a customer. Another case may he instanced where a customer was lost for five cents. The purchase was $50.05 and eleven five dollar bills were} tendered in payment. The merchant; handed hack four dollars and ninetyfi five cents in silver and the customer went home. There was no dishonesty in this transaction, but it was so small j that few will feel surprised at the greater portion of that man's trade he- ing afterwards withdrawn. IT STILL FLOWS.

Richardson (South Grey). There seems to be a concensus of opinion on both sides of the House that the great need at the immigration department at present is a more care- ful discrimination as to the character and the health and the adaptability of the immigrants who come to this country. Some years ago the feeling was very strong that we should fill up the great North-west as rapidly as possible with immigrants, and little thought was taken as to their charac- ter, their occupation, or their suitabili- ty for employment in Canada. We are now just beginning to realize the prophetic vision of these statesmen of thirty years ago who projected great enterprises for the opening up of our North-West. Men foresaw and foretold tnat the time would come when that country would be opened up to the teeming millions of Europe, and when ”prospects would be offered to them which they never experienced in the old world. \\'e are only now coming to realize that prophetic vision : but we are coming to a point inour history when we should pause and consider whether the present management of that department of the. government is is as wise and prudent as it might he and ought to be. l think, from the evidence that has eome out during the diseussion this evening on both sides of the llouse, that it must be conced- ed that there is room, and vast room, for improvement. \Vo ha\'e. already had evidence of the undesirability of bringing out what we may almost call the sweepings of some of the ‘luropean nationalities, men who are not desirable as citizens in any eoun- try in the old world. and whom their fellow-eouutrymen Were quite willing to let go, no matter where they went to. But now we realize that it is necessary to the future of Canada that we should use more discrimination in regard to the class of men who are to become the future citizens of this country. \Ve spend a large sum of money annually for immigration pur- poses, and the question whether we, get value for that money or not is not to be estimated in numbers of immi- grants. but it may be estimated quite, as much in the che-iracter of the class of immigrants we get. if We get a class of people who are undesirable physically, mentally, from their na- tional proclivities or from any other cause, we are not getting that 'value which we ought to have. I know that there has been a feeling expressed that it is very desirable that we should get immigrants from the British Isles, as they will more readily assimilate with ithe ideas, thoughts and feelings of l Canadsans. Ir. Richardson Addresses the House It has been admitted by the. hon.! member for Alberta (Mr. Oliver) thatT there is just one class of immigrants who are superior to them for the great North-west, that is. immigrants from theolder provinces of Canada. \Ve lose a large number of ‘ young men‘ from our older provinces annually, and we may expect to lose them. It! is necessary when young men grow up? that they should leave their homes. ‘ Home-keeping youths have ever: homely wits.' And there is a disposi- tion everywhere among Anglo-Saxons . to move about and see the world, and see whether they cannot better their condition. That movement will con-; tinue, and it is desirable that we should 3 retain in this great Dominion of Can- ‘ ada as much as possible of that class of young men,, especially the farming class, from Ontario and Quebec, who wish to move away from their homes and lind other homes and prospects. It is very necessary that we should always hear in mind that one of the great dangers of the future of this country is that with our large extent of territory stretching from ocean to ocean there may arise a dissimilarity of interest or sentiment or aim; and it is very necessary that we should endeavour as much as possihie to in- fuseintothe popuhtion of the great North-west some element that will carry with it a national sentiment, a feeling of love for Canada, something that will bind together the different parts of the country far better than telegraph lines, railway lines, com- merce or anything elseâ€"a bond of kin- ship and national sentiment which shall tend to hold us together national- ly, and give us larger and broader' national views. What is it that gives us the greatest trouble with our fiscal lpolicy at the present time? Is it not the extent of our territory and the di- vergenceof our interests? We need a large: and a more national outlook. sndwenesdto Witinthow OUR WEB SPEAKS. 0.9 .vâ€"O North-west. ' We do not want the feeling to grow up among the people of the North-west that they can be better served by tne United States or‘ by cultivating commercial or fiscal re- lations with the United States. We rather want a national sentiment that will overlook to some extent these considerations, that will look from one end of the country to the other, and will ask what is best on the whole for this great Dominion of Canada. We want to subordinate local and even racial interests to the general interests of the country. These general interests can be served to some extent by pro- moting the settlement of the great North-west with our own young men, especially with the sons of the pioneers of these older provinces of Quebec and Ontario; and this much I would claim for them, that whateVer assistance may be given to any class of immi- grants. none deserve more of this country than the sons of the pioneers of those older provinces. It is also very desirable that we should have a good shareâ€"and I am glad to learn that we are obtaining it at presentâ€"of the immigration coming from the old country, especially from Great Britain. I know that there is a feeling sometimes expressed that people who come from the cities of Great Britain are not desirable immi- grants; but from my own personal knowledge I can say that men who have come from the City of London, who have been accustomed to indoor work, but who have brought out with them that native intelligence, industry and indomitable perseverance which pertains to our kin, have made a per- fect success of farming operations in )anada, though they never were on a farm in their life before. 1 had the pleasure of transmitting a few days ago to the Minister of the Interior a letter from a man who only twelve months ago was in a London ware- house, where he said he had to dress like a dukeon the salary of a dustman, But be made up his mind that he would come out to Canada, where, if he could not do anything else, he would go on the soil and try to make a living. lie was told by one old man that he would soon be back again with his mother or his grandmother. But he describes how he. rame out and what he had learned within twelve months. and he said he was enjoying life amazingly in the North-west turn- ing up the rich soii of Manitoba and driving a team across the prairie, an occupation which he had never follow- ed bel'ore. Men wiil he successful if they have. the energy. the determina- tion necessary, even though theyhave not been brought up to agricultural pursuits. There is great room for gathering, even from the cities ()1 the old world. men of this class, who are. tired of being slaves to indoor duties all their lives and who will, if they have the opportunity. make a suacess of the agricultural life. I read an ex- tract from a North (Juniberland paper only a week or so ago, the ‘ l’enrith observer,’ which is largely eirsulated in the counties of Northumberlai'id and \Vestmoreland, about a nunmer of Barr colonists who had returned and who were complaining bitterly of the misrepresentations that had been made to them by the agencies which had induced them to come out, and also of their reception and treatment in Canada. I only give the statement for “hat it is wo1th, and to show what Iepor ts are in ciiculation in the press of Great Britain. Although the Immi- gration Department may disclaim re- sponsibility for the treatment of the Barr colonists in Canada, yet the people of the old country will not make. any discrimination. They will simply take the 1epoits from thei1 countrymen who went to C mada, and \1 ho complained about being m e1- c rowded 011 the steamers, and of not having been decently treated in the railway transportation across the country, and of being landed into a wilderness without any of the accom- modations they had been promised, and will hold the government respon- sible. I am notimputingauy misman- agement or remissness of duty to‘ the department, but 1 merely point out the necessity of the government taking under its care and supervision every scheme of emigration, whether promoted by Mr. Barr or anybody else, because if there be any grounds for dissatisfaction, the fault will be charged against the Canadian officials and government rather than against the organizers of the emigration scheme. Therefore it is necessary? «that the government exercise careful superv ision even over private coloniza- 1 tion schemes, such as the Barr colony. I need not refer particularly to the statistics compiled and given to the. House by the hon. member for Lennox . (Mr. \Vilson). They must convince every one of the necessity of our using much more careful oversight and dis- crimination in the character of the emigration we are getting. Our country has great resources and possi- bilities, but its progress and influence depend not so much on the numbers as on the character of the population. It 18 the individual qualities of our people which will tell in the {motion of our character ass nation. and that greatness and influence which Ire-Ii desire this Dominion should attain will only be secured by a more varcful supervision and discrimination in our immigration policy.
