ANNEXATION IS THE ISSUE.
Canada IL Going to Ruin, and the People

begln 60 Sec 1t.
OTTAWA. Sept 1.-THE fact can no longer be
disputed that the annexation question is fast
becoming Q live issue. Leading public men
have not hesitated to make mention of the in
creasing popularity OF the movement for closer
trade and social relations with the United
States One of the government organs has come
out squareiy for separation from England. The
Quebec Telegraph says:
III We are permitted to gauge current events
IN canada, we think that annexation to the
united states 10 making great headway amonx
our people. Annexation is coming, and that
before long. Sir John Macdonald may preach
al KINDS OF doctrines; he may climb upon John
bulfs back and become the last man on earth to
accept the platform. but dollars and cents will
bring 1t about The Mckinley bill is passed by
large majority. and that bill rikes a blow at
the commerce of Canada. England, we are told
10 as ready to give up Canada and Newfoundland
AZ we are England. We are positive that at
least this part Of the country would be in
thriving condition, If we had America merged
into one general confederation.
"A Jew days ago the stars and stripes were
raised over the custom-house in Montreal, and
now they are flying over the grounds OF the To-
ronto exposition. What is to prevent them be-
ing raised over the nation at some future
period?
something must be done, because we cannot
stand this tinkering ct Ottawa any longer. This
country is. in plain words, going TO Old Nick.
and If at the next general election the reform
ers do not become aware Of the situation. we

This article has caused decided sensation
here with government officials. They state that
such reasonable and seditious language should
not be overlooked.
