What is the first thing that causes the immigrant to be willing to take the oath of alleg- iance? His business prosperity. The United States has deveIOped a virile national sentiment by allying business and patriotism. That is right, for a country that is good enough to flourish in is good enough to give your heart to. But, if lines of trade were cultivated so as to make a man feel that his business is dependent on a strange power, just across the border, he will weaken 1!) his regard for the land in which he lives, and will want to be a part of the land which dominates his business in- terest. A nation is strong with its own peo ple just so tar as it has an individu- ality that appeals to the instincts which are expressed in the manage.“ ment of public affairs-«if you like, in public property.

How can loyalty be a mere question of potatoes and hay?” The Allegiance of the Newcomer Ne- cessarily Grows Out of Hls Material Prosperity Without It tho Country Must Have Become an Outer Fringe of the RepubHc Canada. was compelled to climb painfully into nationhood against three almost overwhelming disadvan- tages. all of them closely concerned with the United States. She was handicapped by climate condltlom. She had few people. She lost population to the United States. If a tariff had not been raised against United States manufactures, ithose goods would' have poured across :the border and prevented the growth of industrial cities and towns in Can- ,ada. in everything Canada would :have been to the United States as the Enorthern parts of Canada are to the :rest of the Dominion. What are now iher great cities would have been small zprovincial towns, tributary in the great :affairs of business to the manufactur- 3ing cities of the United States, which would control the Canadian market IfOl‘ manufactured goods. 9 And if, in business, Canada had been la tributary, a mere feeder of the I United States, pride in her destiny fwould have languished and few would {have gloried in her citizenship; her sons and daughters would have been idriven southward, and the feeling that she was an outer fringe of a vast, DOD. mlous, imposing Republic, .‘to whom she Emust look for finer sustenances of life and for careers for her children, would Ihave borne its logical fruit. [HE TARiff SAVED CANADA POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL. TWENTY-fOUR In early days. the more rigorous winter made settlement on the land more difficult, and prevented Cana- dians reaching the sea for nearly half the year, except through the United States. The whole country was look- ed upon as a sort of backyard to the United States. It would still be so regarded but for the combined in- fluence of the boundary line, and the tariff which the United States we: the first to build upon. ' It was the tariff that enabled Can- ada to turn the disadvantage of her cl-imate into a glorious asset.

What are now the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta would have been settled entirely from the South, all the trade would have been across the border. All the rail- ways would have been built in from Minnesota, North Dakota and Mon- tana. Members of Parliament and all persons transacting public business would have been compelled to travel for hundreds of miles through a for- eign land to reach the capital of their own country. Obviously, whatever the geographi. cal name of Western Canada, that vast immeasurably rich territory would have become so identified with the United States that even the severest free trader would have admitted that nationality and trade are very much intertwined. If United States railroads had beâ€" gun numerously to cross the western borders, and there had been no Cana- dian railway in sight, a cry would have arisen for an east and west railway across Canada, and Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier’s prayer would have been antici- pated: “Heaven grant that it may not be too late.” Nobody supposes that north and south trade should cease. But there is all the difference between that and encouraging it to be the dominant feature of Canadian commercial life. to the injury of east and west channels which are of the very essence of our nation-building. There would have been no metro- politan city in Western Canada any more than there would have been a Toronto or a Hamilton in Eastern Canada.

Bouverio street was impassable through the nowsbnys shrieking for copies. and in parliament Mr. Gladstone was quesp tioned that afternoon and could only say be hoped the story was exagger- ated. “Ythn Forbes wakened from his slumber amid all this turmoil what a spectacle he was! His face was black with powder. his eyes red and in- flamed. his clothes matted with clay and dust. He was a dreadful picture. He had been compelled to assist the communists in defending a triangular space upon which three detachments of the Versailles troops were’ firing and had actually taught the citizens how to build a barricade.” “Forbes had telegraphed from Dover announcing his coming.” said Sir John Robinson. “the printers had hpon wait- ing. and thus the country hoard of those terrible days for the first time.
