RDUCHINVIT IN THE BUSH ;
LIFE IN CANADA.
BY MRS. MOODIE.
CHAPTER Xii.
THE. LAND -JOBBER.
(Ari • intermediate Chapter by J. W. D.
Moodie.)
It would be -endless to describe
all the little artifice& practised by
these speculators to induce peisons
to purchase from them.
Besides a. teW of. these unprinci-
pled traders in the land, some of
whom are found in moet of the towns,
there are a large number of land-
apeculators who own both wild and
improved farms in all Parts of the,
ec114ny who do not descend to these
discreditable.artS, but wait patiently
until their lands beCome valuable, by
the progress of improvement in their
neighborhood; wheej they reatlily find
purchasers—or, rather, the purchas-
ers find them out, and obtain their
lands at reasonable prices.
In 1832, when we came to Cana-
da, a great speculation was _carried
on in the lands of the U.E. (or. Uni-
ted Empire)- Loyalists. The sons
•and daughters 4 these loyalitSs, who:
had fled to Canada from the United
States at the time of the revolution-
ary war, were entitled to free grants
of lots of wildlands. besides these,
few free grants of land were made
• by the British Government, except
• those made to half -pay officers of the
army and navy, and of coarse there
• was a rapid rise in theie value.
A imost all the persons entitled to
. • sucii grants had seutled in the east, -
ern part of the Upper Province, and
as the large emigration which had
commenced to Canada had chiefl,-
flowed into the more western parts
of the colony, they were,. in. general,
• ignorant of the increased value of
their lands and were ready to sell
them for a mere trifle. They. were
bought by the speculators at from
2s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. per acre, and often
for mach less, and were sold again,
-with an enormous profit, at from
,
5s. to 2,0s., and sometimes even 40s.
per acre, according to their •situa-
tion. , - .
• As to personally examining these
• lands, it was a thing never thought
of, for their price, was so low that it
was almost impossible to lose by the
• purchase.l. The Supply, •of IT. E.
.Loyaliets' lands, or claims for lande
for a long time seernd to be almost
• inexhaustible ; for the royal refit-
• geeS appear to have been prolific be-
yond all precede -et, and most ,of
those who held office at the capital
of the prevince; or who could com-
mand a small capital, became specu-
lators, . and throve prodigiously.
Many persons during the early -days
• of the colony-, were thus enriched,
without risk or labor, from the inex-
haustible " quivers " of the- ,IT. E.
Loyalist& •\ :
Though the bulk of the specula--
• tors bought lands at hap -hazard, cer-
tain parades who found favor at the
(Yovernment officesmanaged manaued to- se -
1Z, ,
- .eure the best lands which. were for
• . sale or location, before they were ex-
• Posed to fair competition at the pe-
riodical public sales. in the different
distriets. • Thus a large portion of
the wild lands in the •colony were
and are still held ; the absentee pro-
prietors, profiting from the increased
value given to their. -proparty by the.
• improvements of the actual settlers,-
• while they contribute little or nath-
ing to the cultivation of tlit coun-
try. The progress of_the colony has
thus been retarded, and its best iii-
• terests sacrificed, • to gratify the in-
• satiable cupidity of a clique •who
toasted the exclusive possession of
'all the loya16y in 'the country ; and
• every independent man who dared
to raise his voice against such abuses
• was branded as a Republican.

When emigrants have been some
years settled in Canada,, they find
out their particular and just posi-
tion, tis well as their duties and in-
terests, and then they begin to feel
truly happy. •
The fermentation arising from the
strange mixture of discoruant ele-

sides, but until this takes plate; the
state of society is anything but agree-
able or satisfactory.
•Such -was its state at Cobourg, in
1832 ; and to use it was so distaste-
ful, that though averse, for various
iea,sons, to commence a •new settle-
ment, we began to listen to the per-
suasions of our friends, who were
settle.d in the township of D
about forty miles from Cobourg, and
who were naturally aoxious to in-
