DOMINION DAY.-Monday, July l. was eel.
celebrated by our neighbors over the border
as the eleventh anniversary of the confedera-
ton of the British Provinces in North Amer
lea under the name Of the Dominion Of Can
ada. Reports from various parts of that do
main indicate that the day was more general
ly celebrated than heretofore. The hostility
of large minority in every province, to the
union. appears TO be gradually giving place to
a national spirit and to n feeling that the
union has already proved highly advantage
Gus to the several provinces. The Dominion
newspapers point with pride" to what has
been accomplished for the general good in
eleven years, and enthuse over the future
which their patriotic imaginations picture.
We hope they will not be disappointed. The
most remarkable feature in the policy of the
Canadian Confederacy is that of carrying on
public works at the public expense. Scarce
~ mile of railroad has been built the past
five or six years without a Government sub
sidy. OF itself the Government has built Il
line through wilderness connecting the up
per and lower provinces and has already UNI
dertaken to construct line to the Pacific
coast-a gigantic undertaking for a country
of about 1000, 900 of people of moderate
wealth. Already through this policy the pub
lie debt is about $50, COG, 900 (Sl39, 354 ,G79
July |, 1870 and the interest thereon is the
largest item of the public expenditure. If the
works projected are carried on to completion,
this sum will be largely increased within few
years, so that the people of the Dominion can
claim precedence over those of the United
States as the most heavily taxed community
in the world.

woollen mill at the Falls, has not stopped
for any dull times or panic since 1880 and is
now employing some 800 operatives. The
cotton mill is also fully employed, running
about 900 spindles and producing some
II .OnG yards of print cloths per day. It is
claimed that the lumber interests of the city
are prosperous above the average of the
country, the calculation being that while the
business transacted in this branch of trade
has fallen off ~ per cent throughout the
country from what it was in flush times, Bur
lngton is doing fully three-quarters as much
business now as in previous years.
