A HOPEFUL LAND SCHEME. The Mail has resurrected a speech which Mr. Ross made in 1852, while he was a member of the commons. Mr. Ross was then dealing with a serious proposition,' - namely, that of selling vast stretches of the Canadian .north- west to speculators, men who had no definite plans, whose only desire was they acquired until advancing civilization added to its value. Our contemporary sees in Mr. Ross' demonstration of twenty years ago a strong condemnation of the New Ontario scheme in which cer- tain Americans = are interested, but there is really no compassion between the cases. The New Ontario proposal involves the settlement 'of a given dis- trict of 2,000,000 acres within a cer- tain time. The land is sold by the government at fifty cents an acre, and the syndicate is pledged to populate it_and sell for not more than 83 per acre. . To induce the necessary coloniz- ing there will have to be large expen- ditures, so that the margin between the buying and the selling price will largely, if not entirely, disappear. The deal, as it affects the local govern- ment, is a simple ene and easily com- prehended. Mr. Ross wants the lands of New Ontario occupied. An Ameri- can company undertakes to look up to transport them to the in possession of the people, land, and put them it. The only consideration is the dis- in the first Pace, at a The . colonizing com- a great immigration posal of it, reasonable rate. pany is really bureau, which undertakes a heavy task without « reward compensation so far as the Ontario government is con- or cerned.
