Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 2, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba She if i 4 i v a Mav 2, 1877. To ire pleased to Knou that Tho Domini on Luvorn Mont Havo appointed to Rooe Ivo at Ihil Atli Mako Trio no Eod sury bonding Etc. Such an appointment has Ion Boon a Tho Olliver is or. Ponco. Of thl i Rovi Noo who Ron Rod from Ottawa yester Day and loaves no in to Day to onto upon Tho of his duties. Or. name on account of connection with number of pamphlets regarding Manitou and the , is one familiar to the class which together Wilh i. Thorough knowledge of that Hobo called upon to Deal with renders Tho in Point Mont a Good one. To Luff Tho summary of Tho report of Tho com Mitt co of Tho Llo Iuso of l commons on Gration and which to published on monday did not fully exhaust like information on a subject which has so Goat an in Torst for Manitoba. Therefore Hatton to Complete our task. It appears from the evidence of or. Logo that there was in i to year 1876 a consider Able decline in Tho immigration to As compared with the previous year Tho total number of from ill sources reported to have Sot led in Canada in is7l having Boon against in ks7o, in 1s74, Tuul in is73, which appears to have been the year of Tho largest immigration know to this continent. This continuous decline in Immi irruption special to Canada but extended to Tho whole continent. Tho total emigration from treat Urit Iii to All parts exhibited during tie same your a in Mark Ablo de Cline yet it is a source of satisfaction that while Canada has shared Tho de pros Sion it has so Well hold own on a com Parison of figures. Tho australian colonies proved to bean exception during the years named As it appears from the Imperial re turns that Tho emigration to them shows an increase but this fact owing to the very great exertions made those colonies to obtain immigrants and their very Large sex of All proportion greater than that of Canada both in Agency and the payment of passages of immigrants. The class of immigrants brought to this country by Tho exer ions of the department of agriculture were Chi otly agricultural la borers and female servants mechanics and artisans not having any inducements Hel-1 out to them to immigrate. Tho agricultural labourers and especially those Puli families and the female Domestic servants were assisted to immigrate by Tho Dominion passenger warrants and to some extent by the Ontario Bonus of Given in further reduction of passage. Agricultural labourers who came appear As a Rule to have Dono Well and to have found employ input. There is very Little doubt that Canada can furn i employment for Large num Bers of immigrants of this elas.-. The suf Fering from want of employment has been among the artisans and labourer in cities owing to the general depression in All com Mercial ain.1 mud anal enter pipe. Hut there is reason to believe that even in this re Spect the cities of Canada have not a uttered so severely a Tuo a of the i United Stales. Tho department of agriculture Lias made special exertions to attract to this country tie class of tenant Fanner and tie time appears to be _ propitious As Well from cause sin Tho tinted kingdom do Prizhi Largo numbers of their holding As Tho a Montion w Inch is being attracted to Canada by Tho new and important Trade in meat which Lias somewhat Middle nov sprung up. It May be stated to be a demonstrated fact that Moat can to carried with profit Nom Canada to tie i United kingdom and there kept for a considerable in a cold desiccated atmosphere not Only without deterioration but with actual the duality of Canadian beet Lluis carried has been pronounced to to equal to scotch prime which the Standard. These facts being established it follows the i extent of Tho Market must exceed the pos Supply from Canada for years to come. This condition of tilings is viewed As highly favourable for attracting the immigration of a very desirable class of settlers. As regards the special which Lias been attempted in Manitoba i. Y. The chairman of tie Memi Onito committee of Onta Iio who to a Groat extent has had Tho practical charge of the new mennonite colonies reports them to in a satisfactory position. He gives tie number of mennonites who Havo settled in Manitoba at which i a somewhat in excess of Tho lumbers Given by the depart ment the figures of Tho latter being lie states that the mennonito.-, Are satisfied with their condition and prospects. Thoy find the land to be exceedingly Rich and their crops last year yielded abundantly. Jle describes them As industrious and stated they would in a Lew years be enabled to pay the Hist cent of Tho special loan voted by i arli Amend. Or. Shanty. Further slated that there were thou Sands of mennonites in Southern Iti Issia who Wero anxious to join their Brethren in Manitoba but owing to the failure of their crops years in succession Thov were unable to emigrate there Are Difili curios placed in Tho Way of the disposal of their properties. There arc a number of Rich men among these would n t leave without their poorer Brethren. Tho mennonites in Manitoba arc grouped together in bands of from 2u to families in each representing Tho nucleus of so Many Vil Lages. The number of mennonites who joined the Colony last year was the number of icelanders who immigrated in js70 was in addition to 2-j.s who went to Iii Ali the previous fall. The Success of this Colony is at present not assured the Small pox causing a very Largo proportion ate destruction of like the deaths being j out of a population of deaths under i 2 years Over 12 years a further lure and Largo numbers of them Havo writ ten to their friends in the Eastern states to join them. The total expenditure during Tho Calendar year is7g was against Tho previous year. H was further exp Laird unit the expenditure in a sufi contained an item of for Tho do Florin buildings which wore transferred from to Boundary commission o the service of immigration for which they Aro found to to useful Ami necessary. There wore also other special and not recurring items of expenditure. Tho fact of i to reduction is established by the asking parliament for a diminished vote for the service of immigration to Tho extent of in addition to Boms Lii chief imm ignation office of Tho nonunion i to London Mollico now is an established place of Call not Only for canadians going to England but for All persons including members of parliament Tho press and capitalists seeking for authentic in formation respecting the Dominion of Canada.
