OANADA'S FATE,

The Chicago Herald thinks Canada
is destined before long to become apart
of the union. The Herald is not alone
in that opinion. Many Canadians think
it, and are asking for it. Sentiment
in favor of it is growing in the United
States. Why? What is the cause?
Not because folks in the union love
the Dominion or its people. Not be-
cause we have any need for it or care
particularly about it. The union is
large and powerful enough to get along
without it. Its five millions Of people
would be quite an addition to our al
ready growing population. its terrific
ry would be an important accession.
But the old province is to its eyes in
debt and can see no way out of it.
Hence the reason so many of its citi-
zens, young men chiefly, leave it for
this country. AS many as half mill
lion Canadians are now citizens of the
United States. In addition to her
heavy internal taxes her debts have
compelled her to levy heavy tariff tax
on imports.
Her debts are discouraglng. Her
soil is not generous and avenues to sue
cess are, therefore, less numerous and
inviting than further south. Hence
the exodus of her young men to the
states.
This draining away OF the vigOr and
energy of the state is bad omen for
her. 1t presages the course she her
self will go some day.
Then, too, she is weak. Uncle Sam
uel is not. 1t is an unwritten law in
this world that the weak must sur
render to the strong, must be gobbled
up by it. Such will be Canada's fate.

MATT QUAY, chairman of the repub-

for himself any place in the gift of
General Harrison. To his skillful
management, rather than to the
