AMENIEAN I’Al’tl‘l b iCBITCIZES SHARPLY THOSE WHO PREACH FEAR OF AEYEXATIOS' Among all the efforts made by ‘opponents of Recipmcrty in Congress to prevent a. fair commercln agree- mnt between the United States and Canada, the most disreputable and nupatriotlc lies in the threat of an- nexation! What is it. in essence. this threat? It is an appeal on one side of the line to the lust of con- quest: and on the other to the fear of absorption and the loss or national identity." We are certain that there is no such sentiment on this side, in spite of the allegation of a few of those who are so clever that. unlike Samuel Weller. junior. they have eyes like a million microscope-s, mu; so through doub‘e doors and turkscrm‘: stain cases. and have so much Imagination that they (-371 give tiiv'vsvlws col“ ' - . ‘ 5.. fr. . ’ ‘, . 3 . -: Shi\t"‘l‘> :Ill‘L-uflll .m: o: in» turningm- able.

Granada has not been, in our history. more humiliszw‘: at any time than she has been by the declaration by party leaders that free dealings with her neighbors would lead her people helplessly into a political relation- ship which they do not want. That they do not want it is implied in the appeal that is being nmde to them. If these siandcrere of their country could find any annexationists at all they would probably put them on show. An attempt was made in Parliament by tile unfortunaw Mr. Monk to show that some men there had long ago expressed annexation sentiments, only to get the flames! of denials in each case. The infamous part of this (try ‘3 that it cannot but lead peOple in the i‘nited States and in Great Britain to think that there is annexation sentiment in Canada. It is for this. that they are to be held in the utmost disesteem as traducem of, and disloy'al to, their country. The true Canadian attitude was well expressed nearly forty-six years ago by the Canadian statesman, Joseph Howe. In 1865 the United States Government was preparing to abro- gate the old Reciprocity treaty. On the 14th of July of that year, Joseph Howe addressed a. great International Commercial Convention at Detroit~ There were hostile elements at the Convention. and Howe had to speak for the treaty in the face of great adverse feeling. Howe dealt not onlv with the economic side of the ques- tion most thoroughly, but at 'he close took up the annexation talk of the day: “I know" he said. “it has been asserted by some. and I have heard it uttered since I came to the Con- vention, that if the Reciprocity Treaty ’1; annulled the British Provinces will be so cramped that they will be com- pelled to seek annexation to the L'ntied States. I beg to be allowed to say on that point that 1 know the feeling in the Lower Provinces pretty thoroughly. and believe I urn well enough acquainted with the Canadians to speak for them all, with such ex- ceptions us must be made for any entire population, when I make the assertion that no consideration 0! finance, no question of balance for or against them, upon interchange of commodities, can haw: any influence upon the loyalty of the inhaiitnnts of Ill'c' British Provinces. or :end .'.i the slightest degree to illicilltiu “the af- m-.. 1.1. 5. .1"? ,. l? ., .
