"A remarkably outspokon lotter on

families is printed from the Hon.
David Mills, minister Of justico Of
Canada at Ottawa. Writing to friend
Mr.. Mills says: "The Now Eagland
people are upon tho soil, but not Of it.
They obviously dislike farming as
much So their women do having chill
dron, and wore it not for the incapable
among lem, and tho foreigners who
have taken up their residence among

born nor fields cultivated Ifieft to
themselYea, tho oxistonoe of desoen-
daDt OF tho Pilgrim Fathers would be
as rare as the great aux, and tho race
ia sure to share tho fate of the dodo.
Thero must be very serious problem
for tho United Statos statesmen. Stop
tho foreign immigration and tho United
States would not ino oroa,o in population
and after o time thoir numbers would
begin to diminish. There ID obviously
something wrong with a people who,
under conditions 80 favorable, have
euoh small families. The United

moro of her own pleasure than sho docs
