GERMANS IN CANADA.
An Important and Thrifty Portion
OF the Dominion Population.

Montreal Gazette: 1t is TO Ontario we
must look for the bulk OF our German
population. In that province the
earliest German settlers can hardly be
said to have "come in with the con-
queror." Not conquest, indeed, but
defeat occasioned the timely and well
come gift to the wilderness Of Western
Canada OF what century ago II most
needed - that is, men to ill the
ground.
For the Ontario that Was to be it
was fortunate that the triumphant
"sonH OF Liberty" could not find 1t In
their freedom loving hearts to tolerate
the Tories who had remained loyal TO
their King. For, starting at Kingston
and moving westward along the shores
OF Bay Quinte, and 30, in the course
OF time, over the whole OF the rich
province ofltheltuture, the disposessed
1oyalists gradually occupied their
adopted country till in generation
they were strong enough to fight for
II with their old kinsmen and foes.
Among them there was a consideta,
be contingent OF Germans-eome OF
them veteran soldiers, others the de.
scendants OF settlers in New York and
Pennsylvania; others Teutonized HUI
guenots from New Rochelle; others,
again, descendants OF the prosecuted
Palatines who had been planted in
Ireland by Queen Anne. The origi-
nal settlement OF 1854 was increased
by subsequent accessions, In the be-
ginning OF the present century num-
Dor OF Mennonites settled in Waterloo,
and few years later German com.
pany in Pennsylvania bought 10000
acres In the same township.
That they have multiplied is evident
from the last census of the districts OF
North and South Waterloo, which
shows that in the former, OF total
population Of 20,0S6, no less than
1857 are German; while in the latter
SSH out OF 81, 75i are of the same ex
traction. II less numerous in othel
districts they are still considerable
Taken altogether, there Is no more in,
dustrious, inventive, enterprising snc
thrifty class OF citizens, and as The
Saengeriest indicates, they have moi
neglected in Cansda those artistic
tastes, and especially that genius TO-
music, which, in the cd world, are
among the best known characteristic
