MANY DESERT CANADA.
They Find That They Can Make n
Better Living in the United states.

OTTAWA. March 29.-Sir Richard Cart
wright. in replying to Fosters budget
speech. said that farm property had vastly
deprecated in Canada within the last If
teen years. Further, he declared that of
the males in Canada between ;he ages Of
twenty and fifty years one in every three
left the country for the United States In
ten years $4,000 immigrants had arrived
in Canada, and only 10000 had remained.
Why did people leave the country IL It
were as prosperous claimed by the gov
eminent?
He moreover thought that still greater
restitution would be experienced. 1t was
with the United States that Canada ought
naturally to trade. but frivolous conces-
sions by the government would not bring
about the desired result. He reaffirmed all
ne mad said as to the vast importance of
obtaining access to the United States mar
kets. While Canada might maintain her
self Independently of the United States, yet
her full measure of prosperity would never
come till she had free access to the mark cts
of her neighbors.
