given as premiems to those farmers
who produced he best results in quan-
tities and, qualities from the soil, both
vegetable and, aimal, as the result of
the increased t. lage given, to the land,
do.
By such a sy tem as the above, not
only would the general prosperity of the
country be fos ered, but a largely in-
creased value given to the soil, by the
morethorough pultivation given to it,
and a permanent home secured to great
numbers of the farm laborers of the
Mother Countr3)s who are yearly seeking
a home on this continent, and who, by
a residence of a ifew years in the employ-
ment of our intelligent farmers, would
fit themselves te become proprietors of
farrcis themselves, and be the employers
of yet other laborers, thus building up
this fair Canada of ours into a prosper-
ous and happy aatiou. -..
We think all jwili admit that if the
system of bonussng any enterprise such as
building of railroads, establishment of
manufactures, dice is one whieh
will lead to beneficial results, the
scheme above roposed commends it-
self with greater force from the fad
that whereas in bonusing a manufac-
ture] the tendency is to make hina
alone the :possessor of great wealth ;
in this, the bonus being distribut-
ed among a great number, creates
a corresponding distribution of the
beneficial resuljts. We think any
scheme that cat be introduced, where-
by the agricultu al portion of our com-
munity may be timulated into a more
thorough systeia of tilling the soil,
thereby produeieg greater results, would
tend more to th ir prosperity and be re-
flected upon the prosperity of the whole
country—for do not all admit that it is
from the soil that- all our increase of
material wealth must flow—than any
system of so-called proteetion that can
be devised, for let the farmer flourish,
and manufacturers and all other classes
are sure to flourish, too, Yours, &c.,
