or Annexation.

Attorney General Longley, of Nova Sec
tia has probably given more study to the
increasing desire for Canadian independ
ence than any other man. In an address at
Quebec he stated that Canada's position
was more anomalous than that of any 9TH,
or country at has an area greater than
that of most countries, with larger re-
sources; is developing great cities, build
ing up inter-proyincial commerce, and
possesses two of the largest RAILROADS.&C. the
world, and yet we are simply Births ouI1;f,,as
nists. We could not even claim. aice. il
citizenship. We neither contribu to
the empire nor shared its burdens orJre
sponsibilities.
He contended that it was opposed to the
manhood of Canada that this condition of
affairs should last. He confidently, there,
fore, laid it down as fact that Canada
cannot always remain q colony. Eventu-
ally the population of Canada would be
greater than that of the British Isles Il
would then lie impossible for the greater
to be ruled by the lesser.
There were three alternatives: 'simperi
al federation, annexation to the United
States, or Canadian Independence
The first was impracti3 while with re-
gard to annexation there was no doubt an
objection in some quarters to merging Can
ada's nationality with that of her sister re-
public. But he urged political union with
the United States would have it's advanta-
ges. as Canadians were so closely allied
with them in race, language, laws, insti-
tut1ons and trade relations. If we read
Alright the signs of the times among our
young men the time would come when Can
ada would put on the national garb.
