The Eur. peau world looked on the apparently un- equal struggle, feeling certain that England would be absorbed. But I needn't repeat the story of the defeat of the armada. or re late how England, through those stormy times, proved the anchor of religious and. civil liberty. as she again proved herself to be during the Napoleonic wars. England with all her faults is still to he loved, and it will be a bitter day when (Ianadn. throws off all her past historic relations with the mo- ther country and attaches herself to a coun try whose population is every day getting less and_less Anglo-Saxon and, consequently, less and less in sympathy with Canadians. One half of the population of the United States are not of the mother stock, but are Afiicans and the swet-pings of southern Eu- rope, with their touch of oriental blood. The climate of Canada alone protects her train the contamination of such influences. But this is strong language, Mr. Editor, but Mr. G. M. Macdounell never spoke a truer word than when. at a meeting of the imperial federation league in this town, he referred to the wide ditlerence in the characters of Uananliaus and people of the United States, as a body.

He claimed that there is an unfair distri- bution of wealth. l eople.~will tell them. that this is due to the greater intelligence and thrift of the wealthy peoplel This was not correct. It was because there was not enough wealth for all classes. They had men tumbling over each other producing nothing. and dozens of people doinv what one person could do. Factories and busi- ness establishments are cutting each other s prices and making men sutler by this. eaving the idlers out, if the wealth of the world were fairly divided poverty would be abolished. It is claimed that the cause of suddenly recurring panics is over produc- tions. During the bread riots in New York the advocates of the over production theory . pointed to the well stocked tzranaries overv [lowing with grain, and argued that they knew overiproduction was the cause of the trouble. This waa.said in the face of the _ fact that thousands of people were starving. Another argument used was that the popula- tion of the world is growing faster than the power of wealth. He believed in one uni- versal God, and that He, who created this world, was infinite in His wisdom. In as much as they found these myriads of worlds moving i-n harmony they could not accept any doctrine which argues that God planted in the human heart two wishes equal in themselves, but which if worked together would destroy each other. There have been many inventions, but they are not labour- aaving, but money saving machines. They decrease the demand for labour and reduce the price of wages. The in- crease in the population has also the same tendency. If these two good things work evil to the human race than than must be something wrong. It must, there fore, be the competitive wage system which is wrong. and they should try to remedy it. Two hundred years ago the hours of labour per day were eight, and now they were ad Vocaling a return to the old system. Reter- ence was made to the fundamental evils which underlay the commercial system of the country, and cause the unequal distribution ` of Wealth and the to-rrililn nnvprru at-inina noon.
