Ountry viii Sustain the President.
There have been no further developments in
the Canadian affair yet, but it is expected
in official circles that the distempered condi-
ton OF the Canadian mind will prevent any ad-
justment of the relations for some time
There is evidently purpose on the part of
this country to go far necessary in the
matter of retaliation to bring the Canadians to
realizing sense of the fact that the patience of
the United States is exhausted
Senator Paddock said today that the action
of the United States government met with the
approval of the people of the northwest; that in
fact there was but one sentiment on the subject
throughout the country and that the admins
tration would be sustained by people of both
parties, to whatever extent it might be necessary
to carry retaliation.
SENATOR MoRaAN's VIEWS
Senator Morgan said today that the action Of
the United States and ia fact much more radi-
cal action than that taken by the President was
fully warranted by the ugly and unneighborly
action of Canada.
These people," he said. ''have been acting
In such manner "a to make it necessary that
we should show our resentment. A vigorous
and manly course is demanded of us. | pre-
sumo Canada will not cease her unneighborly
conduct, but we must let it be understood bv
the British government thatwe do not intend to
tolerate it.
ALWAYS BEEN A BAD NEIGHBoR
''The fact is that Canada has always been a
bad neighbor since the establishment of this
government. After the revolution lot
OF our tories went to Canada. and
they have transmitted through their
descendants an ugly feeling toward
the United States. They have made them
selves offensive at every, opportunity. From
the seal fisheries in Alaska to the fisheries off
the eastern coast they have disregarded
our rights and done all they could to
ln]ure and annoy our people. The
recommendation of Mr.. Cleveland with relation
to the shipment of goods across our territory in
bond should have been followed. think the
President might have with propriety and JUS
tice gone further than he did in his procla-
nation and have cut off the privilege of shipping
Canadian goods through this country. The
facts are that we extend every sort Of proper
courtesy to Canada and her conduct in return
for our friendly treatment is unbearable.
THE AID WE GIVE CANADA.
'The Canadians would not be able to feed
themselves certain seasons Of the year we're
it not for us. We get no favors from
them in any way proportional to those
we grant. We should show that we have no
small. low, commercial cowardice, or regard for
what England may think of US. but can regard
our dignity and self respect above all things
1t is ridiculous, shameful, for a country
like this to be thinking always Of what foreign
ers think or want. This country is too big 20
be trotted on Englands knee and fed with
pap. We are responsible for this country. for
this hemisphere, and we should think
and act for ourselves. with en-
tire Independence OF the customs or opinions
of foreigners. We can get along without any
Of them. We are capable of producing any
thing that the human heart can desire and we
arc Independent Of the whole world outside
We should not hesitate and we should not fol-
low or model after any one.''
