Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 7, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba Monday May 7, 1877. Aus Llama. In our recent review of Tho report of Tho committee on immigration and Colonia Tion allusion was made to lilo fact that Dur ing last your Australia was Trio Only country that attracted an increased number of immigrants Tho falling oil1 As regards the uni Ted states being even More remarkable than in Tho Case of Canada both having been affected by the same causes. At the present time the policy of the Dominion As expressed in Tho above mentioned report is o Dis courage All immigration but that of Agricula with some capital of their female Domestic Tho australian colonies on Tho other hand Aro making every exertion to secure All the population they can get and As to have recently shown Aro uttering what is Tanta mount to a free passage from the old coun try to the classes which it is doomed most desirable to encourage. More astonishing still is Tho fact that not Content with obtaining colonists from the United kingdom australian emigration agents Are energetically working even in the United with Groat prospects of Success. Several of Tho Xci York papers notice with expressions of regret the departure on the 15th ult. Of Tho ship Annie u. Smith from that port carrying away 109 men women and children who go to seek Homes in South Australia West Australia new South Wales Victoria Queensland Tasmania and now zealand. Thoy claim that Tho British Jov ornament is strenuously encouraging what Tho american papers term this sex against from Tho Australia. Tho colonies have borrowed considerably but every cent except in Tho Case of new zealand has been spent in use Ful and Well conceived Public works. Vic Toria has borrowed at a Little Over Lour per cent., and has nearly Miles of rail roads and numerous water supplies to show for it. Already the railroads Are pay ing their working expenses and Tho interest upon Tho Cost of constructing besides which her Public lands Are Worth at least ten times Hor total indebtedness. Tho hate is True of new South Queensland and South Australia and is also True though in a less degree of now Tasmania and extern Australia. Those figures indicate Tho elements of a great pm lenders will to received at lilo Oll co m undersigned up to noon offo Lulli instant tra Ordinary diversion of Tho tide of Emi though probably it would to More Correct to credit Tho colonial administrations with stimulating its development. Though at present it can to regarded As Little else than an exp Ament in Tho Way of repatriating British subjects by transplantation it is always prudent to avoid Tho word transportation in speaking of australian topics Back to their proper though at the it is not unlikely that it will become Ore Long a successful reality. Tho san Francisco takes up Tho Wail of the new York press and informs astonished citizens of Tho United states that Tho results Are Likely to to serious in depleting the Pacific states of surplus population unless something to Dono before Long to encourage the settlement of unoccupied territory. Our readers will naturally ask what is Tho inducement for people to emigrate to a country where there must to just the same difficulties for an immigrant to encounter As which has a climate that eng Lish people and canadians would not care to Exchange for their own. The answer would probably be the general Prosperity of Tho australian colonies the natural and proper result of the Freedom of their and Tho intelligence and Enterprise of their inhabitants. Or. W.
