COLONIAL INDUSTRY. 157 



manager being accompanied by a number of 

 apprentices, a landlord requiring an estate 

 for his son, gives orders to A. to select one of 

 equal quality with that which he may choose 

 for himself, and arranges with B. and C. relative 

 to houses. On the arrival of A. at the colony, 

 if he is satisfied as to the quality of the soil, 

 his first object is a farm for himself, and con- 

 tiguous to it another for the landlord. On 

 securing these, he gets possession of the former, 

 on condition of complying with the landlord's 

 orders. He has also to improve other farms, 

 until the value of his own labour is sufficient 

 to cover the purchase price of his own. The ap- 

 prentices entrusted to his charge are similarly 

 interested, and so are B. and C. The same 

 field of industry is opened to every emigrant. 



The revenue of our colonies for the purpose 

 of liquidating the national debt may be as- 

 sumed to be as follows. The class likely to 

 become purchasers, we have already stated at 

 60,000, exclusive of 10,000 foreigners. Let 

 the last number go for managers. Let us 

 suppose that a father will give so much to 

 a son and daughter on an average. Some 

 landlords and capitalists would no doubt be- 

 come purchasers, to the extent of from 50007.
