Mr.. Train on Canada.

So many absurd theories have been set
adoat regarding Americas hankering after
Canada, we are glad to see that Mr.. Trains
opinion comedies with our own. Americans
no more think of invading or absorbing Can
ada than they do England.
The defeat of the militia bill gave rise to
the recent debates in the discussion halls, and
Mr.. Train argues to prove that the Canadians
care really as little for England as the Ameri-
cans do for Canada.
Mr.. Train Large bodies move fast, at
least England lost no time for her dear cousin
during the Trent explosion (hcar). Small

get England's money, burst into full bloom Of
a loyal country. England asked the world
to look and behold a loyal people. Look at
the Canadians-what affection what valor
Out went the troops and back came the rebel
ministers (hear, hcar). Parliament meets

French minority combine with the English
and the bill is lost-Cartier overthrown. Tn.
English journals remain silent for days and
weeks. The Times speaks at length. II

England finds time to lecture America Of
taxation-why not talk to Canada? Thei
tax bill covers all their lives. Canada is no
a free trade pupil l can readily understand
why the Canadians overthrew the militia bill
They know that the war between Englan'

Canada With England Canada is weak
