It is hard work for labor to cross the threshold and make its entrance here. We cannot reward idleness. The laboringman is told to go to work. but alas. sir. where can he find employment t There are thousands whose poverty prevents them from emigrating. Is it not the duty of the Government to give them material aid? True. the bill will provide for but comparatively a small number. but it will be the commencement of an exodus which will be followed up by others whose interests will be a motive to follow people who have the means. but must have associates when they reach the promised land.
