(Hear, hear.) _ Representing, " I have the honour to dom section of country that is doubly inter. ested in agriculture and stock raising, I can join heartily with His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor in his expressmm of, satisfaction that the moi-ts being put forth to establish a direct trade with Europe in iive Stock and dairy products have met with so marked succesa that In extension Ind rapidly increasing trade has been already established in these communities, greatly to the udmntnge of the agricultu- raliat and stock raiser, and the benefit of all concerned.

As long as this country enjoyed the ad vantages of free end uninterupted reeiproetd trade relations with our American neigh- bours, few attempts were made to discover or open up other markets for our euiplus stock. Oar sharp American cousins, then enjoyed the benefits end ptofita of our trade, acting in the capacity of middlemen for the purchasing and selling of Cnnndinn produce and stuck. enjoying all the ed- ventnges end profits therefrom. Still, not satisfied with enjoying all these advantages, the politicians deluded themselves with tho foolish notion that by the abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty, poor Canadians, as we were their pMriotiisiugly callvd would be compelled still to sell their stock and pro- duets to Americans paying their high im. port duties ; or forced nltomutely to join the great American Union.

Dan BROTHER, - I now sit down to write you a letter and I must confesn that I should have written long ago. But I have only to any that I have been so busy that I hare not been able to write one letter where I would have written ten, but I knew you would hear regularly from Samuel and Ellenmr. and I have been, determined all the time since I came to this country to be very guarded about My- ing much about it till I at least put in one eenson, after which time I knew I eould give a reliable account of it,and now I feel that I can give any of my friends as oer- rect an aoocnnt " any person in the country, and I will endeevonr tolay my opinion before you in this letter, and you may take for granted that what I say to you is reliable. ' I With the Address and the Resolutions ,now before the House I entirely concur, and desire before sitting down to congratu- _ late the Government on liming again suc- ceeded in preparing such an admirable ad- dress. Such a Bill of fare that the Op- position with their new leader, Assisted by his smiling deputy have been unable to tind very little to complain of or find fault with, and I have no doubt when an ap- peal is made to the country. the Hon. the Attorney-General and his colleagues. will receive a new lease of offiee. (Applause) - ----_------- ONTARIO AKuHIvna TORONTO I will take this opportunity of saying a few words in reference to another law that in my opinion should receive the immod- inte attention of the Home of Commons. I am satisfied that the Insolvency Law of Canada produces a yearly crop afinsolvents and in the interests of the honest trader should be either abolished or suspended, and come into force only periodically, say every five yenrs. My friend from Simone asks whutlhavo got to say about the Division Courts t In reply I have to say that until the Hon. the Attorney-General brings down his Law Reforms Bill I shall reserve my mmnrks but venture to express the hope that the Hon. the Attorney-General will deal with this question, and in a satisfactory man- nor. and: taken place tint it will neither tend to chute hon. gentleman, in the oyiniou of their consume pr '::t,',rri"glt' respect that hon. gem-Rx nhonld " on: bro, that if a v' bee 5:10. bid 06- '.yiug n 1)“in ”no“; O. 8mm ooptruy to the oisausu his constituents. he should either resign his mt or on- denvour to convey the opinionl of those who sent him here. While I am willing to support a motion when made at the proper time to reduce the Indemnity, I an: opposed in toto to reducing the salaries of the Government. If these hon. gentlemen discharged the im. portant and onerous duties pertaining to their respective offices satisfactorily! ttnd efficiently, as they do, they are entilod to receive the salaries they get and more. Are the services ofthe Hon. the Attorney- Geueral of this Province not worth as much as the seaviees of the Mannger of a B Ink or the Manager of an Insurance Company? I think they are, and I am prepared to defend the rote I intend to give in this matter, either here cr before my unstim- euts. (Hear, hear.) mother. L , I agree with in 1MnoueatlMrr Meter- It is quite evident that the sentiment ft l the country iguana“ the increased in . dummy sud 'ut'd6fererttm' to the wi :hes o! l my constituent» I on quite willing to sup- _ port a motion to reduce the amount on , wipe it out altogether. (Bear, hear.) la this way a large number of sspirsuts for political honours tor Moat in this house will be got rid of. (Applause) I voted for this before and will do it again when the proper time comes, but I am not going to be caught by such n trap so the Hon. Member for East Grey has laid. Why, sir, what sre we asked to support? An amendment, which if carried would be pub. lished in town in all the morning papers as in defeat of the Gov. and the Hon. the Attorney General and his colleagues would be in duty bound to resign their position, to give place to gentlemen who asked them any importuued them to do the very thing for which they now condemn them. (Applause) I cannot regard this amend- ment as any thing but a species of political suitertnge for s party purpose that will neither tend to add to the honour or strength of the party professing it. The course of the Hon. Mr. Cameron the late lender of the opposition was an honourable one, and I am disposed to think if that hon. gentleman still occupied u seat in this House, no such cstch motion as the one new before this House would receive his support, (Hear, hear), and I an inclined to think that the present hon. gentleman who now loads Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition in this House, will upon cool refraction regret that he has bermirched his honour by calling upon his friends to support this amendment by appealing to his follecrs to vote for the amendments now before this House. (Applause.) Now, sir, while I um prepared to pursue this course in reference to the Indemnity. I um fairly of the opinion thst this question he settled by a statute of this Province, and thus set- tle the matter permanently. no that neither party could in future take any political air T mtages of the other, and I hope the Government will at the present session bring in I measure having this object in View. From Manitoba. t. In regard to railroads. they are now - applying to Government for a charter to o 'mild one from Winnipeg to Pembina d i Mountains and Portage La Prarie which tt will pass through near here, and no doubt s. will be built in less than 4 years. Then " the land will be worth at least $40 per h "are. Certainly wood will be a little I scarce here till the road is built, yet there t is plenty of it from 8 to 12 miles from here D at $1 per cord. I have got a year's wood s up which oust me nothing but the drawing . of it two miles. Ofeourse this chance of getting it so close won't last tor more than a a yearmore, as it is on some Scrip land. l held by persons in Ontario. who are not , here to watch it, and it is getting scarce r this winter. I have also got a stable and , shop built, and have part of the logs out , for a house on my hornets-ad. But as l for persons coming here they will have to . draw the logs now ten or twelve miles, but there are millions of acres of wood which i you will see by the map north-west and , south of us which sold at the most at " , per curd. I can get rails eight miles from here at " per thousand. Of course the 'e , is no cedar or pine in this part of the , country. Oak and poplar are the principal '. timber logs for building with. and are worth " each. standing in the tree, eight miles away. Any person taking up land could get a wood lot of twenty acres cov- end with oak at .20 cash. fifteen miles I away, which will furnish all the logs and rails necessary for a farm, and the roads are free from hills in this country, which makes it far JitUrent from Ontario for drawing huge loads on. Why we think nothing in loading heavy here. We put six or seveulogs on a Waggon, the logs measuring about 12 inches at the butt, and i from 18 to 24 feet long. and start on our journey utna pair of oxen. We drive our oxen with harness, wlMUluees and neckyoke, and generally with lines, the ' same in every respect as horse are diore in Ontario. There is another advantage ' to a man coming here in carrying on farming, who has capital that is not in Ontario. I'astt re is no objeet,uor hay one I I can eat hay for a hundred head of cattle, if " you had them, four or five miles away. C where it yields from two to four tins per f. acre. I can out. put up and stack enough hay here with another person to win. 3 ter one hundred head of cattle, s and stock is at a high price here and will - 1 be so for years to come. " some thousands of head are annually exported. Pork , raising is also a profitable business here, t a I by the rapid increase of settlement more tu pork u required than can be raised in the ti country. It is at present from " to " g per hundred. Cows are worth from Mg to Mo each. and a yoke of four year old steers l Moo, Wheat is worth Mt, per bushel, " whlohia much below the average. Oats 01 are Mo to Me, which is about the usual price here.

In trust your yard spot, which no doubt you think in in tint, order u not to be compared with the land here. The only man I can recommend to come here is amen with some menus, say at lent 81000: if they {comet command that and have families they had better stay in l Ontario, but I have only to any to you that it I had the capital which you could command.l would invest it here and be worth thousands in ten years, where you are not worth hundreds. A: for living, I tell you positively that I would rather live here than in Ontario. The climate there is nothing to be compared with the climate here. We have no fall rains here ; clear healthy weather, and a nicer winter than ever I saw before ; no severe weather. To-dny is the coldest day of this season, this morning and to-night it was down to Zero. You would be nearly frozen up at that temperature in Proton, and 1 have been working outside all day in my shirt- aleoves. shingling my blacksmith shop. there is no doubt tut 30 below Zero hen is not felt no muchas Zero in Ontario. The air is so clear in the morning when we get up that we can see houses from ten to fifteen miles away, and they appear not to be folty rods away.
