tionable Article.
OTTAWA, Sept. S.-The fact can no
longer be disputed that the annexation
question is fast becoming one of the live
issues Of the day, and will play an inn
portant part in the political future of
Canada. The sentimental Loyalists at
tempt to belt.le the movement. but,
nevertheless, are whistling to keep up
their courage. 1t matters not what part
Of the Dominion one looks to, there are
to be found evidences of dissatisfaction
at the existing state of affairs, Leading
public men have not hesitated to cali
attention to the increasing popularity
of the movement for closer trade and
social relations with the United States,
in fact, in some instances going so far
as to espouse on the public platform po-
htical union.
The Montreal Telegraph, one of the
government organs, has come out
squarely for separation from England
in an article which has caused decided
sensation here. Government officials
state that such reasonable and seditious
language should not be overlooked, The
following are the words Of The Montreal
Telegraph:
IF we are permitted to guage current
events in Canada. we think that annex
alton to the United States is making
great hetdWay among the people. 1t is
coming, and that befUre long. Sir John
may preach all kind of doctrines he
may Climb upon Johnny Bulls back and
bee ONE the last man on earth to accept
the platform, but dollars and cents will
bring it about. The Mckinley bill is
passed by u large majority, and that
deals Il hard llow to the commerce Of
Canada England we are told, is as
ready to give up Canada and Newfound-
land as Heligoland Now, what can we
do in this part Of Canada without the
United States? We are positive that at
least this part of the country would
be in thriving condition if we had
America merged into one gene-al con-
fedora i)n How would Brother Jona-
than meet MS but with an expression Cf
joy and comfort, dollars and cen.3;
property would boom and commerce
with the world would be carried ON
with ring which would bring comfort
and glory to the masses.
"A few days ago the stars and stripes
We're raised over custom house in Mon
treal and nJ,v they are flying over the
grounds of the Toronto exhil ition.
What is 10 prevent from being
raised over the nation at some future
period? Something must be done be-
cause we cannot stand this tariff tink-
ering ut Ottawa any longer. This couu-
try is in plain words, going to the Old
Nick, and if Mt the next general cleo
tion the reformers do not become aware
of the situati n. we will be starved out
Of existence bS the United States tariff.
Engla ID is nett ler mother nor d friend
to us We have flattered her too much,
and row is the time. when one of her
grandchildren is here that we should
talk as plainly as possible of the situa-
tion.
If the capitalists Of London can buy

United States if they can pace mill

country; If they are scared to ilyest a
single dollar in British securities then
let us annex. 50 rs to secure their aid
