Great Britain and the German Zolverein-
there was then no German Empire-by
which each Power undertook to give the

If MIR. Balfours theories were sound this
treaty would have been imposed. for since
1860 we had nothing to give and could only

CANADA'S FISCAL INDEPENDENCE
The Dominion was DESTROYS of giving pref

she might be enabled to do this, the Anglo
German treaty was denounced by Lord
Salisburys Government and came to al

Canada was thus recognized for fiscal pur-
poses as an Independent country entitled

as well with Berlin as with London there

Where then is the grievance? Canada can

satisfactorily, and in six weeks with two
further exposures. the growth was quite

Nevertheless. II Leo XIII. took no

"lf there were congratulations for

year. 1t was also. and above all. be-
cause of the impression. as confirmed
by the events of quarter of a cen
tury, that Leo XIII. was especially de-
signed, thanks to his political and dip
lomatic gifts, to maintain tolerable re-
lations between the church and the
