The abeurd notion the EDgiish pa
pers put forward that America 10 desi.
rous Of absorbing or annexing Canada
40 Mr.. Train says, serves only to bring
Canada into notoriety and please Eng
lands vanity.
Large bodies move fast-at least Eng
land Loaf no time in showing her affec-
Ition for her dear cousin during the
Trent explosion. Srall bodies move
l.low-at least Canada makes no haste
to psss the militia bill. England said
to Canada arm. Canada wishing to
get England's money, burst into the full
bloom Of . loyal colony. England
asked the world to look at and behold >
loyal people.
| Look at the Canadians-what afec'
what valor! Ont went the troops
and back came the rebel Ministers.-
Parliament mee,s-the fifty thousand
militia bill comes up-the French MI
nority combine with the English, and
the bill is lost-Cartier overthrown.--
The English journals remain silent Tor
days and weeks. The Times speaks al
length. II Canada cannot appreciate
our friendship let her 60. England
don't care. Other journals follow, and
all are Disguised. England stopped
the tap, and Canada's loyalty fades a.
way. iHear, and oh. Colonies are
like human beings-money is the test OF
triendship-loyalty consists in an open
bung-hole. Laughter.
England finds time to lecture Ameri-
ca on taxation-wby not talk to Can
ada? Their tax bill covers all that
grows and lives.-Canada is not free
trade pupil. can readily understand
why the Canadians overthrow the mill
tia bill. They knew that war between
England and America means making
battle field OF Canada. With England
Canada is weak--without her, strong
Let Canada set up business for herself,
and she will hold up Ler head and be
somebody-Ioh, and hear but let her
, hang on to England's apron string,
and copy Ireland in progress! Cana
dams should ponder over Englands Sc
ces.ion doctrines. So should the Irish.
If secession is justi6able to the South,
why not equally 60 to Canada and Ire
I land !? Hear. Lower Canada like
France better than England. No. +
Did the French Canadians show any
: hospitality to the Prince Of Wales g
s Hear. Certainly not But when
: Prince Napoleon was there every doo1
d flew open at once. Lower Canada il
q French in language, customs, and reli
!. gion. Their associations are all with
France. No.
Il How can you say no when Frenchmcr
y discovered the country-and Frenchmer
l. founded the colony! England's con-
II nec,ion with Canada is comparatively
:. recent [Oh!] Who first made the Ca
madam shore? An Italian, Sebastian
q Cabot, in the Seventh Henry's time
II Denney's was the next, FrenchmaD,ir
:? 1906. ABBOT followed, also native o
k France, and took back with him to Pari
some Of the natives of Canada in 1928
Then the First Francis sent out his fou
ships-and the Robeval Expedition wa
q lost and CARVER died. This was in 1549
al During the next half century French
= men made the coast, but the colony Q
al Quebec was only founded In 1908, to b

nally ceded by the Treaty of Paris t.
IT. England in l763-since which Canad
10 has been a colony Of this empire. S
a. you see was right in saying it was Of
n. recent date. Oh, and hear.
Canada has thousand miles of eher
along the lakes without fort, and il
Is case of war, all her cities could be take
by our armies in six weeks. Let Cana
ia cut the painter and she is safe. Blu
it was pitiful sight to see her bluste

My principal object in rising t
night is to correct an expression tina
seems to have sunk deep into the Eng
., ish mind and that is, that the American
. want Canada. Now, il you want to in
:. suit the American people, that is tn
most sensitive way Laughter.
never yet hearo an American say tina
:, he wished to have Canada. oh. -
Who ever heard of prosperous CIT,

Il Americans are not, and never hav,
