1f the best interests of Canada are to be
subserved by Imperial federation, then I am
for Imperial Federation, because I am for
the beat interests of Canada, and because I
claim the right as a Canadian to decide the
destinies of my country according to is
highest interests. But while 1 am listening
latently to the proposition of my imperialist
friend, another steps forward anti says
"Rut 1 am prepared to show that the fest
interests of Canada will be *observed by an
independent national existence. Trus, the
sentiment lies in that direction. We have
• great heritage and are fast developing •
deep seated national pride. To us Canada
is the dearest name among the nations of
the earth. Let us have faith and courage
and facing the awful responsibilities of to-

we are bound by so many ties of honor and

oommunities which have sprang from her
loins, Gnat Britain must look for her allies
and supporters in her great civilising mis-
sion in the world. The only cause of fric-
tion between Britain and her greatest off-
spring is Canada. The petty disputes about
fisheries, seek, canals, railway., sad hood-
ing privileges we the sole remaining hind.
ranee to an absolutely friendly alliance.
Let us then with Britain's consent seek a
equal alliance with our separated brothers,
and make our changed allaglance the coca -
aro of • treaty of perpetual friesdslip and
mutual defence between the two great na-
tions of the English rsoe."
Thi• is the third proposition : presented
to my caosideratton by the advocate of a
United North America What be says, be
it understood, may be all fallacy, if this bs
so, it can be demonstrated. It may be that
the proposition he proprounds u one which
it would he dishonorable and unmanly for
the Caaadiau people to accept. If this be
so can we not trust the logic of the im-
perialist and the intelligence of the Cana-
dian people to stake this clear ! What I
am contending for is that all these ques-
tions must be diecttesed on even terms. 17te
advocate of Political Union with United
States has as good a right to present his
cane to the Canadian people u the im-
peralmt, and the people who dadre to reach
a right conclusion are bound to hear and
weigh everything that can be offered upon
the question --the momentous question of
Canada's destiny. The supreme point, as I
conceive it, is which alternative stands for
the best intermits of Canada! How can I
decide without hearing all aides' Is im-
perialism the true solution' Then let the
advocates of imperialism take the platform
and demonstrate their case. Is continental -
ism wrong and unsound ' Then what is
the difficulty of .o demonstrating to the in-
telligent thinking people of Canada! If
there is anything that will throw doubt
and discredit upon a cause, it is the tear to
challenge the crucial test to fair, open and

1 mid at the beginning that my only ob.
jgct in this article was to clear ground not
to git a opinions on the merits of the several
proposals. Indeed I have no definite
opinions to give. In common with most of
.ny fellow citizens I do not eonceirethat the
moment has arrived for making a decision
on tine vast question, but 1 recognize that
the moment is approaching. There is no
need of haste, and yet every reason for
thought Of the four alternatives presented
above there is only one upon which I have
any settled convictions, and that in relation
to the first. i Am clear that the existicg
condition of things oatnot and ought not to
last. If British subject" we are to remain,
then I say • thousand tires Netter that we

pendency of the empire. 1f 1 am to accept

Empire I want to have • my In shaping

within the compass of the national service 1
wish that career open to me and to my
children.
out in reaching a decision in this over-
shadowing question, whether my moral in-
stincts be right or wrong, i propose to be
guided .olely by my coaosption@ of the her
interests of Casella I put this first and
take it supreme. If the interests of t:rear
Britain, well ; if they opine in coufict in
any form, I .hall take my stand on the side
of Canada io w years to come, as this
question of ('&nada'• destiny becomes from
day to day twee preening and immediate, i
.hall listen respectfully to all who have
views to pre.sot. I shall not be afraid to
.s.b let from so quarter or any source.
ttb
1 &ll listen and give as fall weight to
whatever is urged by the advocate of poli -
col *ohm with the United States as to that
which is pt..aated by the Imperialist.. I
maintain positively and nnrs.ervedty that
any cations of (lined&, in office, or out of

'n Pete be stands to the bar 'a shouts for •11

' After the drink was finished the par-
