very gratifying t.o know that the 1·oyaltles 011 coal mined in thio Pl'ovince
last year Is tho greatest in its history.
When one considers the importance of
this Industry In relation to. the flnanolal resources of the P1'0vince, 0110
cannot but admire - the ll'gislation
which brought this . about. 'l'he total
of the revenue in round fil{ut·ee
amounts to $1,625,000, and, that tho

Hon. Mr. 1\1 ACK, Chnlrmnn of the

A Dill entitled, an Ad to 11111e11d

A Dill entitled, nn AcL to regulate
the purchase, sale and tmnHfl't' of

H9n. 1\11·. l\f.-\CK-1 nm instructed by
tho majority of the committee to report thls Dill to the Invoruble couslderution of the House without u1111•1itlmeut. A number of gontlemen were
heard, representing both tho wholesale and rota ii tmtle of this city, in
ndvocaey of tho Bill; whlle some
stroug views wore expressed by honouruble gentlemen ug.1inst the provisions of the Bill.
Hon, Mr. L1.;V A'l"l'ls-B1•fure this Bill
is committed to tho Committee of the
whole House I wM1 to sny th"t I am
opposed to it. It is, in ruy opinion,
the entering in of the wedge of the
1,•straint o( tmdu in the Province of
Novu. Scotin( aud I do not think that
Nova 8ootia111:1 are either ready 01•
prepared to have such 11. Bill pu.ssed by
the· Leglslaturo of this Province.

my humhlo opinion it applies genemlly

P1·tJ\'ince. I 1 1111y t,hi11, that in this

Hon. 1\11·. DRu~mmm-When,, the
