Canadian Folly.

Some Canadians are now feeling their
oats to such an extent that they strongly
remindgu us of the bunptiousness Of the
average American of the early. part of
the eighteenth century. With the growth
of Canada in trade and agriculture, in
manufactures and commerce there has
arisen a cry of Canada for the Cana
dians..' which is most absurd in some Of
it's applications. 'ss
Not being fully aware of the resources
of their country till Americans uncovered
them, not having undertaken to improve
and utilize their opportunities till EAmeri-
can capital and energy led the way in
many different and widely separated
fields, certain Canadian statesmen and
newspapers are now in favor Of initiating
the Chinese and keeping all the good Of
their country, actual and potential, for
themselves.
This narrow spirit, which does not seem
to be- evinced to any extent by the pro-
gressiye and liberal business men of west
sern Canada, is well illustrated by an
