CANAbA'S GOOD
The immigration During 1905
216,000.


word Of caution from the leaders
commerce and finance and to avoi0
all speculative ventures that lack a
solid business foundation, 1t Is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era OF
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-THE Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty Of money, and our lead
Ing financial institutions are in a po-
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises Of Canada are not buoyed up
by an era Of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial bust
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must %impoverish the people as
a whole, and ultimately lead to COZ
lapse through the failure Of the artiS
fetal aid. There is no extreme PROF
lection in Canada such as would creS
ate great fortunes for a few at the
expense of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar.
healthy and substantial expansion of
trade ard industry, with a proportion
ate extension Of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t Is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits Of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
GUS settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for 1t
is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth Is never
permanent, our will during the
measurable future develop a far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by a judicious pol
icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dalton of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not in
the flush of a railway mania that
Souiu piihS u puiiiohLlTLI tHlou6h
the useless duplication Of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line Of business
in Canada will create a new Domin-
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens Of debt now freely assumed.
Canada's era Of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there Is no sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at its rapidity.' This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that Is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands Of
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition Of $4,000 to
it's population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,7S1. The agents
of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely In.
creased during 1907.

The German minister demanded that
this transaction, as well as others, be
annulled, but the Haytian govern

Who worries about conf1scation /?
i Surely not the man who has nothing.
This is the most natural thing in the
world Why should the man who has
nothing be afraid that someone will
take it away from him? Why should
the man whose goods and labor power
have been confiscated be afraid that
someone will do it again? And yet
we are surprised at our inability to
arouse among these an aversion to
confscation.
Men Who Have Most Fear.
The man who is most afraid Of con-
fscation is the man who has stolen a
small amount Of money or goods. He
knows that the law does not protect
the small man. The other day there
was a man arrested for stealing loaf
of bread for his starving family. He
didn't seem to mind his arrest so
much, but he was sorely grieved that
the policeman nabbed him before he
could get the bread home. 1t is often
heard that the colored race has a pro-
pensity for stealing. This has prob
ably been exaggerated, on the one
