MANIFEST DESTINY"

Minneapolis Journal.

Minneapolis Journal.
The purchase by an American syndicate
of 1900, 900 acres of land in Ontario, part
of it directly north of Minnesota, adds still
another phase to the development of Can
ida. 1t is one more step in the great work
of fastening American ownership, Amer
lean ideas and American population on
Canada. The development of the Canadian
west, so largely already in American hands,
turned the right flank of the Dominion.
The movement on Ontario is cutting that
flank off from eastern Canada. Some of
the mossback Canadians are already growl-
ing and expressing their fears of Amer
icanism. Others laugh at the possibility.
But it is not possible to stop the work with
out stopping the development of the Cana
dian west.
Canadian capital and Canadian people are
not taking possession of the Canadian west,
and the talk about British population will
come to naught. For twenty years the
Canadian west lay ready for the Canadian
or British settler and Canadian or British
capital. but they did not come. And they
will not come. Eastern Canada has not the
population. and British money, when it
crosses the Atlantic, still comes TO the
United States, as do also British immi-
grants. The growth of population in Eng
disappearing eastern Canada Is very slow,
and a considerable part of the young people
still come to the United States rather than
to the Canadian west. That Canadian i'm
migration to the United States has not
stopped Is shown by the fact 1,50O, 900 worth
or settlers effects were exported last year
from Canada to the United States. Swarm
ing French Canada sends its surplus thou
sands, not to the west, but to the eastern
part of the United States. The Canadian
immigrants are absorbed in the great cruel
bic of American population and lost to Can
ada. On the other hand, the American
thousands are marching into an almost un-
occupied country. Instead of plunging into
a seething mass of population in which
they will disappear, they are the mass
themselves and will tend to absorb the peo-
pie they settle among.
Or the 5000 new settlers the Canadian
west received in October and September,
5000 were American. and for the whole
season half were Americans, and that
numerical half represents a much larger
proportion of the intelligence and energy
of the new corners. Despite all the efforts
of Canadians and British to encourage
British and other European immigration,
despite the hundreds of thousands of NOV
ing Americans that will continue TO find
new homes in the American West and
South. il is safe to preuict that from this
time on much more than half the new pop
ulation of western Canada will be Amer
| leans.
