suspect that very few on your side of the line
thoroughly understand how Annexation would
affect Canadian interests, and lew OF the argu-
ments for and against il, on either side, may not be
ouuteres,ing The Anti Annexationlss say that
Canada would suffer by II IN the Increased expen-
dilure Of Government In Canada, at present,
We have nothing corresp ending TO your Genera
Government We have merely what corresponds

uuts arising from duties on imports az IT, sposal
and the power % sgaia.e our tariffs We have

S done ~ England we have no share IN either
the honor or the expense oi it-snd tue after cer-
taiuly la ,rauscelds the ormer. Our share OF the
expense OF this business At Washington. were We
a state OF the mon. would be over four millions
f dollars. which can be come al BY a very simple
calculation In lsE the expenditure Of your
General Government vas about sixty millions OF
dol ars, and your population not much over tventy
millions 80 that yopr expenditure per head was
it.le less than three dollars FOR man. woman, and
enid. Now. our population is nesrly a million
sud half, which. az this rate, would make over
q ,pr mi hons OF dollars for cur contribution. Al
present our expenditure for Government and In
t-rest OF debts IS almost al paid by our customs,
du.ies which OF course, would 20. under Auuexa-
ton 70 the General Government and our state
Government and interest Of debt v aid have o.
be paid rs direct taxation, and as Ills amounts
Z, two millions Of dollars per annum q would be-
lett Is a serious burden. IL Is trse that these eN-
penses may be reduced after Annexation. but s.
they may BE- now, under our present system. Bat
We should not only pay for General Government.
