The iron posts that mark our northern
boundary line between the United States and
eastern Canada will meet you at every CROSS
road that leads into Canada, and designates, as
the Inhabitants there say, Limo 45." They

The Inhabitants OF Canada are hardy race
OF people who speak two languages, the French
and English: and that portion OF the inhabl-
tsnts who claim to be Of French origin are the
moro numerous, being TO those who claim an
English origin in the proportion OF to a In
manners the French are arraRant and domi-
neering over their English-speaking neigh
bors: and for once in his life and on his own
soil. Johnny Bull has to take O back seat. II he
would open O store. ]. B. must first learn
| French or he can do no business to spoak Of,
| as the French would not deal with him. In
fact. the French In this part OF Canada rule 1t,
| and tho situation may be described as follows.
Englishmen hate the Frenchman and fear him
| and the Frenchmen despise the Englishman
| and rule him.
The political parties are the Liberal and
Conservative Liberal. Both parties are in

our goods under his rule. and as we have
plenty OF goods to sell and desire to purchase
but little. the bulk Of money will flow into
Canada, and all We want of the United States
Is money. We can double the prices Of our
goods In that market. In horses alone we
could make pile Of money out OF the States"
To give an idea OF the financial condition Of
Canada. which Is as near q free trade country
as any country can ever be. would say that 1t
is fine place for men Of means to live In; but
poor man or o man OF but little OF this worlds
goods had better 60 anywhere else in America
for q chance to get ahead In this life. What
would our American citizens with our wages
think II they wanted loan on their property
II they had to Day 20 per cent interest on their
mortgages when they object now to pay even
and per cent? The wages here in Canada is
about half what is paid In the States. and even
less, and less work to be done In proportion to
the numbers OF the inhabitants than in the
States. Yet they are not threatened by pauper
labor OF Europe. for. although great numbers
Of immigrants land at Three Rivers in Canada
and elsewhere. they are forwarded at once to
