More recently. in response to a letter on the subject. Mr. Sherman has expressed the opinion that political union between the United States and Canada is "inevit- able." And statesmen and patriots, Mr. Sherman thinks. ought to look to bring- ing this about peacefully and neon terms of perfect equality. These opinions ex- pressed by a man of the conservative character and recogniZed ability of Sen- ator Sherman. have naturally attracted a great deal of attention, both in Canada and England. Coming from such a source it is felt that these utterances have a deep and serious significance. In Canada. particularly. public feeling on the subject is very strong. A large and growing number of the Canadian people are favorable to annexation, but a larger number are as yet opposed to it. The question now bids fair to become an im- mediate and dominant issue in Canadian politics. It is reported that annexation clubs will be started shortly thro'nghout Quebec, Ontario and the Maratime Pro- vinces, An annexation campaign this fall in preparation for the meeting of Parliament in January is new con- ] sidered inevitable. I But this question of annexation is a . large and serious one and it cannot be : settled in a day nor a. year. There are to be considered. first, the advantages to be derived by Canada. from maintaining a connection with England ; second, the advisability of establishing a separate and independent national existence, and, tlnrd, the propriety of forming a politi- cal union With the United States. Many ‘ plausible arguments might be advanced in support of each of these propmitions. ‘ Space would fail us to give each of them due consideration. Those who are en~ gaged in promoting the scheme of Im- perial Federation have reason‘for the belief that under such a system the de- sire among the Canadian people for an- nexation or an independent existence would soon wear away . Under the fed- erated system all the British dependen- cies the world ever would be brought into closer and more sympathetic rela- tions with each other and with the mother country, and many of the jeal- ousies and differences that now threaten to break the slight bond ot colonial union asunder would be banished and forgotten in a new and stronger national feeling. The Federatiouists in Canada are numerous and influential, and they will make a hard fight against annexa- tion. As to the question of a separatofnatioual existence it is important to observe that this is the destiny which many of the ablest English statesmen and publicists have marked out for Canada. This is the view held by the London “Specta- tor," a journal which voices the senti- ments of a great number of the most in~ telligent and conservative Englishmen. The "Spectator" sees “no reason for at- taching grave importance to Senator Sherman's proposal,” which it thinks is pmmpted solely by the exigencies of the Presidential campaign. In any event it does not believe that the political action of Canada need necessarily arouse any belligerent feelings in England or any- where else. The destiny of Canada, it thinks, is in the hands of its own people. If the majority of them want to be an- nexed to the United States. or set up a government of their own. England will not interfere. It does not believe. how. ever. the majority will consent to the Dominion beng swallowed up and lost to view bv the great and powerful Re~ public. “It would rather be alive, and poor." it says, ”than (lead though rich." Coming then to the question of an inde- pendent existence. the“Spectator" says: “\\'l|v ulinnlrl Ol‘nu 16L" 1'-..._.l:_._._\ “AL “Why should they (the Canadians) not he a nation With a history of their own ‘2 Seated as they are on the two great oceans. with a territory practically limit- less, wholly beyond attack from Europe and with the surplus of Europe to swell , their population more and more rapidly l as the Union grows full. they may be. if left alone, in a century a power with a place in the history of mankind, and a social order modelled by them- selves after their own ideas. The only external danger is the hostility of the Union and tho reasons which prevent the Union from invading the Canadian Dominion will also prevent it from con- quoting the Canadian Republic. The expenses of separateness may he great. but the Americans hore them easily; and were they twice as much. prospec- tive expense is the last thing which a democracy ever fears.“ In spito of all this. however. we mu but believe. as Senator Shannan says, that annexation is the natural and m- ovitnbloIdcstiny of Canada The objec- Canadian Annexation.
