were truly reflected at that banquet
then the boundary line between the
United States and the British posses
sions north should be made a CONNER

United States wants nothing from
Canada. not even good will. unless that
people have been grossly misrepresent-
ed. That they were not is evidenced
by MOntagu's speech. in which he de-
clared that Chamberlain was loved and
respected by the Canucks as no Secre-
tary had ever been and that no hearts
beat truer to the English empire than
those of the American dominion. To
this end he urged that Great Britain
enter on a policy of colonial emigra-

The suggestion that it had been as

great republic of the world. was re-
ceiyed with jeers and cries of 'NO;

never asked for or coveted Canada the

THINGS TO THINK THROUGH.

To the Editor of the Eagle:
VIII you please answer the following

other working men:
First-Has not the free coinage Of gold

was fired at Fort SumpteD had 20 give
bonds and pay interest for gold borrow
ed of the Wall Street syndicate that con-
trolls its free coinage?
Second-Would not the same thing occur
and the same conditions obtain is free
coinage Of silver was adopted, whenever
the government wanted silver for any
purpose? Are the silver bugs any more
honest or patriotic than the god bugs?
II free coinage Of gold give the gold men
a chance 10 rob the people, won't it con-
fer the same favor upon the silver men?
Third-If all gold and silver ownership
IS taken out Of the hands Of the general
government and put into the hands OF
syndicates, would il not be a dangerous
financial policy 20 issue United States
