A small fortune in rare old postage stamps has just been discovered by a Boston lawyer in an ancient trunk filled with faded letters. This recalls the fact that about 30 years ago, when stamp-collecting was a craze in Toronto, especially among boys, a venerable leather portmanteau, which had been the property of the late Rev. Dr. Egerton Ryerson disgorged a quantity of rare old Canadian stamps, to the benefit of that celebrated man's grandchildren and their young friends. Like many a public man of his day, Dr. Ryerson had carefully preserved a voluminous correspondence, part of which, indited in the early 1840's, pre-dated stamps. Every Letter was replaced in its envelope, the stamps of which remained intact, to be a source of joy to youthfu: philatelists nearly half a century later. The trunk contained many Canadian beaver stamps, both perforated and imperforated, the blue Jacques Car-tier, the green sevenpence halfpenny with young Queen' Victoria's head and shoulders, the red and the brown envelope stamps and innumerable lesser Canadians, together with a few valuable American stamps of the early fifties. The late Mr. George R. Bartlett, formerly of the Ontario Bank, and latterly of the Bank of Montreal, Toronto, had two picture frames filled with valuable old stamps ar- irtistic design.

Shall it be that through the destruction of the Tariff as proposed by both Crerar and King, the development of Canada is to come under the domination of the United States, to be followed by gradual financial domination and as a consequence, political domination? --OR-- Is Canada's destiny to be that of a great free nation within the British Empire group of Nations, developing her boundless resources of mine, river, water power, forest, and cultivating her millions upon millions of acres of arable land? Is her development to surpass that of any other nation? Shall her manufacturing' industries develop her minerals and raw materials into implements and goods for the benefit and comfort of her people and for foreign trade? Shall she become a self-contained nation within the Empire, her great railways interchanging, the products of factory and farm among her own people, and her ships sailing every sea? Shall she maintain her integrity within the Empire and protect her farms and factories against unfair competition from foreign countries? IF THIS IS TO BE CANADA'S DESTINY THEN CANADA NEEDS MEIGHEN. On December 6th, Canada should once again protect her farms, her factories and her workmen against the unsound theory of Free Trade, and should hold fast to her reasonable Protective Tariff, her national entity and her British connection. On December 6th Ca d . ■ '. ... ; i declare with no uncertain voice that she will not tolerate the false trade theories of visionaries "and group leaders-which tend toward her economic destruction, toward the separation of her people and the weakening of the ties that bind Canada to the British Empire. On December 6th Canada should demonstrate unmistakably to the outside world her fixed determination to keep Canada for the Canadians. On December 6th Canada's destiny is at stake. Po . Dei
