NEXATION SCARE.
London. Feb 23.-The first Of a series of arti.
clcs published in The Daily Graphic" upon the
Canadian crisis, and written iy the Marquis of
Iorne appeared to-day. Among other things the
Marquis says: The anncxationst is a use
fnl lesson, bringing home TO our minds the fact
that the colonies are practically Independent ma.
,ions This is wholesome thing for the public
70 be reminded of. No COMPARISON is possible be
tween the colonies aad Ireland" The Marquis
dcuIes the idea that Canada desires TO barter her
nolitical independence for the government of the
Stars and Stripes"
The Daily Graphic" tomorrow will publish
the MARQUIS of Lorne's second article on Canada.
In this article the Marquis will say Free trade,
whatever the result of the coming election in
Canada may be, is impossible. All possible
change of Government. so far as Great Britain is
concerned, will mean either few per cent de-
crease in the tariff. or, if Canada joins the United
States in zollverein, an increase of tariff in
conjunction with the United States against Great
Britain The Marquis contends that an increase
in the Canadian tariff is TO be expected and is
not undutiful in country developing great re-
sources. Canada, the Marquis asserts, would never
he satisfied with American Government, and he
classes the talk about annexation as absurd
Referring 10 the reciprocity question, the Marquis
of Lorne says that the reciprocity that Canada
favOrS is like that negotiated by Golden between
England and France
In conclusion, he adds: " If the United States
want more they and Canada must he content TO
wait until the engulfng policy of Mr.. Blaine has
run its course. like other delusons. SO long az
Great Britain remains true, Canada will remain
loVal."
