little land. One consequence of this is that land possesses a 

 fictitious value and cannot be bought at a fair commercial 

 value. Another is that money is cheap. Interest is only 

 2 or 3 per cent. The immigrant in Canada should 

 bear in mind that land is cheap and money dear. Farms 

 are seldom paid for at the time they are bought, but 

 generally by instalments, spread over a number of years. 

 Therefore, if the immigrant is prepared to pay cash down, 

 he will be able to buy at great advantage. In the mean- 

 time he can always get 8 or 1 per cent, for his money in 

 Ontario. I certainly am not exaggerating when I say 

 that 8 per cent, can be obtained for money in Ontario, 

 upon as good security as that on which 4 per cent, can be 

 got in an old country.
