Commercial union with Canada, or
rather its promotion, is the object OF my
visit to the West" said ErastuS WI
man. the New York capitalist, last
evening, upon his arrival from Denver,
sand have been invited to deliver an
address before the st. Paul cham
ber of commerce on this sub
iect. Tomorrow evening l shall speak
at Duluth on the same topic, and at
Winnipeg, Saturday. Then L Will put
in a pretty busy week, commencing
Tuesday. at st. Paul, Wednesday at
Minneapolis, Thursday at Chicago, Fri
dav at Cleveland, and Saturday at Cin-
cinnati, in each place before its
leading commercial body. upon
invitation. 1t was the 9Th inst.
when left New York and my first dis
course was at Erie and thence across
the country TO Denver, Col. And that
reminds me that while in Colorado

After clambering up CarlboO Peak, ten
thousand feet above the level or the
sea, | was placed IN a big bucket and
lowered into the bowels OF the eafth, a
thousand feet, only to find that deposit
of ore was of a very low grade, all the
best having been taken out, ana
what / ascertained then is true OF one
half of the mining properties in which
so much Eastern capital has been in

possible, and hope to accomplish this
result by means of what | term a cy-
clone pulveriZer, that will grind pound
of ore or pound OF feathers with ease,
and hope to revolutioniZe the whole
question of mining silver or other ores.
Those who know me we'll never accuse
me of being a dreamer, and when go
into a scheme it has been my habit TO
push it through successfully, and at
Denver was particularly struck with
the opportunity for utilizing the vast
treasure house that lies behind that
city"
COMMERCIAL. UNION.
This question of commercial union
with Canada is at present attracting
great deal of attention, and on my jour
ney to this city from Denver L was
thoroughly impressed with its neces-
Sity, and | may say for more reasons.
First, because the entire territory has
been stripped of timber, and secondly,
on account of the scarcity of fresh water
fish.
1t is startling proposition, but never
theleSs a true one, that Canada contains
half the fresh water of the world, en-
braced in such lakes as IthabaSca, Great
Slave lake, Rainy lake, Lake Winnipeg
and the Lake of the Woods, besides
Hudson's Bay, and these bodies of
water are stocked to overflow
ing with the finest fish in
the world. Commercial union
with Canada will let in free lumber and
fish, and no diet can be cheaper or more
nourishing for ranehers than the latter
commodity. 1t will be my constant en-
deavor to impress upon the people to
whom discourse the inevitable bene-
fits that will accrue to the United States
from such a treaty as is proposed by
those who favor commercial union.
This is a good time for such agita-
tiOn, too, for the business outlook was
never better, and failures are few and
of little consequence in affecting the
channels of trade. Some idea OF the
interest taken in this subject may be
CLEANED by glance at the mail have
received here at the Ryan to-day"
Thus saying, the great financier
exhibited an armful of letters and
clippings from the various papers
of the Northwest, all treating upon the
subject of commercial union and invari-
ably favorable. :'Eastern capital can
not fail to seek an outlet in this part OF
the country" continued Mr.. Wiman,
