twenty years ago., says the writer, ssGeorge Cam
ming told Mr. Bush that in a quarter of a century
England would be prepared to cede to the United
States all her North American possessions; that all
her policy was regulated with view TO that event"
After such explanations 1t is mere hypocrisy and
very hollow hypocrisy, to pretend that Canada is
driven to the question of independence by the inius
tice unkindness of the mother country.
But the real question is by no means simple
one. In of annexation, Canada would imnne-
diately lose first, the benefit Of large British
pendure; secondly the protection for her timber in
.our market; thirdly, her power Of fixing her own
tariff OF imports. That for all these losses she might
find an equivalent in free admission to the mar
ket Of the United States, and in the growing for
tunes of that mighty confederation, will neither
affirm or dispute Annexation would most proba-
bly, lead to an immense, indeed an overwhelming
Eruption of American citizens, enterprise, and cap
ital into the new States Population would in
crease Local traffic would prosper. The price of
land and houses would rise. New public works
would be projected, and Canada would soon exhibit
the rough and rude activity of western State.
But how far individuals, localities, or classes might
participate in these improvements, 1t would be diff
hcult to foresee. II, rs is alleged, Canada West
finds itself beaten by New York, the inference
would seem to be that, in the event Of annexation,
the foreign commerce of Canada West would pass
through New York, and leave Montreal more de-
serted than ever. But, after all, the most serious
consideration is neither profit yet mere loyalty.
How would the Canadians, such at they are like to
see their country and cities swamped in flood of
that less respectable sort of Yankeeism which
haunts the present frontier? How would the old
fashioned hdbitans, or the descendants of the old
British loyalists or the military coonists or any
other quiet ''Britishers," like feel their present
dignificd position merged in the triumph of repub
licanism? There exists great difference of man
ners and of sentiment, far greater than what now
distinguishes many European States. Such differ
ences offer serious obstacles TO perfect and
cessful amalgamation as mountains and seas; and
it might possibly turn out, notwithstanding the al
legged financial and mercantile benefits of annexa-
hat do aat faaI 1rf, EI
with her adopted sisterhood than with her natural
parent.
