MR PYKE ON NOMINATED IMMIGRATION.

On the subject of the cessation of nominated immigration Mr Pyke says: — What worse thing has been done during the recess than the stoppage of nominated immigration ? Nominated immigrants are the best class of immigrants, and they cost the country nothing beyond the mere expense of bringing them out ; for when they arrive here their friends are ready to receive them and to find work for them. Kobody wants the stoppage of that class of immigration ; but the Government, without any request and without any reason, put a stop to the very best form of immigration we ever had in the country. I remember the Brogden immigrants — people who were the sweepings of the streets, the refuses of the workhouses in Cork and elsewhere. I see at the head of the Government to-day the gentleman who was the cause of that immigration. How can I trust him ? I see a sum on the Estimates for immigration. What sort of immigration, I should like to know 1 I, for one, would support no kind of immigration except that form which has proved the best — that is, the nominated system of immigration — and I know that at the present time there are hundreds who would be good and useful settlers waiting to come out here if the Government would allow them fco be brought oat to their friertcta, B«fc they will not do. that ; they will enter into a contract for another Brogden lofc, and will bring out some of those creatures who hang about street corners and cry for employment, which they hope never to get. That is the class we shall have brought out.
