Another man in my district sold his farm for $26.000. and his stock and other valuable assets ran the "sum up to about $40.000. He moved to Manitoba and entered or purchased 10.000 acres of that land up there. He gave to each one of his eight children 1.000 acres. keeping 2.000 acres for himself. That is the kind of American citizens who are leaving this country and going to the British Northwest. The immigration agent up there estimates that every American citizen who goes over there carries with him. on an average. $1.000. I am In favor of fixing It so that no American citizen will want to depart from the United States to secure a home in a foreign land. [Applaiuse.]
