(1) Taking up the fiat proposition, what do we find' Is there one thinking man in Canada, outside of the office -holder, who would desire a perpetuation of the existing condition of affairs! 1f there be such an one, Tet So;i:.ti. will be pleased to bear from him and to publish the views which be would enunciate on the question. A quarter of a century hea elapsed solace the scattered Provinces which now comprW l oofeder.tion were united, and great expectations were raised because of the Union. Then, Confederation was looked upon as the acme of political progress, and it was believed by the framers of the British North America Act that the establishment of • nation had begun on the northern part of the continent. A marvellous increase in population, and • development of the resources unknown in history was promised. The country would be made to flow with milk and with hooey ; prosperity would be the portion of its people ; a Greater Britain would &rise on the American Continent which would rival the parent land in arta, science, politics and commerce ; the farmer, the merchant, the mechanic and the laborer would be blessed in basket sod in store ; and the voice of the turtle would be heard in the and. Twenty-five years have passed, and as we prepare ourselves to celebrate the anniver- sary of the twenty-fifth year of [Inion, it is only right that we should ask ourselves as honest men, have these promises been realized. if they have been literally carried out, it will rejoice all loyal Cana3iane to know it ; ane if they remain unfulfilled, then, it is the duty ot every man who loves Canada to ask himself why has Confed- eration failed to bring the blessings in its train which were promised by the projectors of the scheme • quarter of a century ago. And now let the atter be quietly looked into. Has the program warranted by • twenty-five years partnership of the provin- ces been realized! Has • satisfactory in- crease ad population resulted, as shown by the emus returns! Have the soon and daughters of Canada, after being nurtured in infancy, tared for in youth, and educated •t the expense of Canada, been retained to bsild up the country and enlarge iia possi- bilities! Is Canada today one whit nearer its cherished desire for nationhoc d than it was twenty-five years aro ! There is no answer to any of these questions beyond • mournful shake of the head and a straight negative, and none other can be vouchsafed by the sturdiest flag-waver that breathes the pure (andha* Njr. Confederation as at present carried on, after • air Vain extend- ing over a quarter of canary, has proved a dismal failure. The Maritime Provinces are more in accord ,lith Maine mad New Hampshire than with ()utario : Quebec has done more for the mills and manufactories of Massachusetts and Rhode Island than it has for :. .' the sister Provinces ; Ontario is more In accord with New York, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois than with Quebec, and Manitoba, the Northwest Territories rad British Columbia have stronger affinity to Minnesota, Dakota, Montana and //retool than they hold to the more eastern Provisoes of the Dominion. Gaming down to the quediou as it sirocco Ontario, what have we to show for • quar- ter of • centney of Confederation, as at present existing! The Province is the richest, moat populous and wealthiest of them all, and yet the prorresa mode haa leen only partial and anything bat gratafy- isg. In increasing population there is little Of nothing to boast of, and in material pros- perity, outside of .oma of the ett.ies end large towns, it is not to be seen. Ask the farmer, the merchant or the mechanic and Mrs mower will be that the ooad.tion of the wintry on the whole is far worse than in the early gnties, when (asfe,let .:ion was unknown and the markets to the South were open to the people of this country, peactically without let tr hindrance.

Ad netting, for the sake of argument, that ('aaadun I.depsndeaco could a achieved, in what better cnodition would Canada be than it is at the present time' True, we would be able to dispense with the vice- regal figurehead at Ouawa, but ws would in all probability have to elect scone goal Canadian to take his place u the head of the sew nation, mad the expense would ran o.. The Federal system would not be maternity altered : and if that were to be the can, the burdens of debt which at pees - eat prevail, would continue to bow down On country. The perpetuation of the pars- ent system of Federal Government would remain to furnish cause for litigation between the (.overnmeot of the Dominion and the Provincial powers, notwitbtaodmg the precedents in favor of Provincial Righu, which already have been afforded in the oomusts between Ontario and the Dominion : the scoundrelly Franchise Act and the thievish system ot gerrymandering by the Federal Government would remain ; as separate franchise would continue to exist for Provincial and Federal elections, and appear on the respective statute books ; - Cenadian military and naval organization would have to be maintained ; the system of commercial Isoatiott would be intensi- fied, as Uncle ' e, world then know that the continuance of the present war tariff on trade between the two countries would beyond doubt compel the capitulation of the weaker power in due time ; the national debt would continue to increase by leaps and bounds, and our p "palmed) would receive • contra impramion from the stet r logic of facto as they stood. These, and a thousand and one other points which apace will not allow an "iventory of, would face the policy of Canadian independence. Who is rash enough to follow the question out to Its logical conclusion, in the chimerical idea that such a course would aseurodlly lead to nationhood and prosperity in the time to come ! (3) The only policy left to consider is that of Continental Union. This could be brought about either before or after an attempt were made to establish C.nadism Independence. The inception of Con- tinental Union wonld abolish the vice -regal figurehead at Ottawa without entailing corresponding costa for a Canadian successor. It would do sway with the Canadian Fed- eral government and wipe out the army of harpies who have fattened on the decay of Canadian political moral. for the past twenty-five yeah -for JACK ARNoLot sed his associates were no more honest during the MA. kZNzlx regime than they are today. It would lift the burden of Federal debt, and an arrangement might be time to whereby the Provinces and, municipalities now overburdened might be relieved of their existing liabilities. The man of Ontario would be placed on all fours with the man of Maine, Michigan or any other State of the Union, and wculd have a voice &rel vote in the (;overmnent of the nation to which he belonged, and would cease to be • colonist without vane or vote in the In- duct of the Parliament of the empire of which he had been a rolonial dependent. The policy of deporting Canadians from the other side of the artificial boundary would bur idi nluheidl and, paraphrasing the old dia- tich : No pent-up Canada would contract powers Thr whole broad Continent would be ,,n, The Behring Sea difficulty would no :.:n, r..ud.e its hood to vex our people, and :he faberiea question would be only • the The millions that have bees expended an keeping up our military school from which no earthly benefit is teosivd-could be applied to improving the condition of the land In which we lice, and we would have • far better result from the invegonost than from the tuppemy-ha'penny attempts at eolidier-paying that have of ate years pre- vailed in I Asad. There are hundreds and hundreds of outer henetita that would rsult from the adoption of Continental Came, but only one othc r factor will be mentioned that ought to convince every loyal Canadian that such • policy would redound to the prosperity of ottr beloved Canada Years ago the British capita let sought laaeda u a field for revisionist H. built the (;rand Trunk R.

The bands of the clod' would again move forward, so far as Canada was cono erned, and the continent of North Amend' from Alaska to the Mexican gulf, would be the home of a united, • oo0- tented, a patriotic and a prosperous peo- ple.

The latest report is th.1 an amalgaatioo of the World and Empire will shortly take plate, the idea being for the lista ors meter to absorb its more ambitions but less able rival in the morning field. The reos.t e lection of W. F. Maclean to • seat in the Iomanon House will likely have the effect of bringing the World more in hoe with the Cos.ervative party than ever, and with its editor and proprietor sitting in the House it should lead all ate contemporaries in the raps for new., seeing that Maclean is one of the beet all-round journalism in An.enc* with • nose for news that ken scent an item • mile off.
