ELOQUENT TUPPER,
However False a Prophet He May Be
He Pictures Canada az Eclipsing Her
American Sister.

OTTAWA, Ont, March s.
Hon. c. II. Tupper, minister of fisheries,
in a debate on the budget in the House of
Commons this afternoon, read extracts from
an article written by Prof. Schuman Of
Ithaca, n. Y, to show that Canada is TO be
the home of millions of immigrants and has
future equally as great as that of the Uni
ted States. The Dominion had made great
progress since the confederation, and the
Americans would like to secure Canada as
slaughter market, although they would be
willing to grant Canada reciprocal advan-
tages. In brilliant peroration he said
that Mr.. Blaine admired the Can
adian policy. In support of this statement
he read an extract from a speech delivered
by the American secretary of state. Amer
ic n state .men were now obliged to concede
the Justice of Canada's claims in various un-
settled international questions. The Cana
dians were not of a cringing kind, though
they were willing TO promote the closest
trade relations with the United States on
equal terms but would never make base
surrender of her interests.
