Every Canadian with an atom of ibyalty in his .composition, should feel, proud of Dominion Day --because it is the anniversary of our young nation's birth, which took place just twenty-six years ago, So that we have now ;,•ent Bred upon the second quarter of a cen- tury's existence of this fair Dominion of Canada, In looking back over the intervening io d w h i h has elapsed period h e g since Confederation became a fact in the history of B. N. America, who could. have dreamt of the progress that has since that event been witnessed on this continent? What was our position be- fore the era of confederation? A con- geries g of isolated provinces, jealous of each other—little or no interprovincial trade -..no territory beyolidi Lake Su- perior—no continental railway be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific— a* foreign trade of any . proportions— Ito expansion as now of the home mare ket—no British market to speak of for our- farm products—and what little foreign trade we had was carried on at the mercy of our republican neighbors - All that is now changed. Both our home and foreign trade has advanced by leaps and bounds. Our national credit stands higher in'the. money markets of England than that of any other colony, We can now hold direct communication with, the Eastern and Western worlds. With th prosperity at home and confidence abroad, we can without boasting congratulate our selves on being the most law•abiding and the least heavily taxed people in 'the British Empire. Poverty is com- paratively unkno en among us—law is justly administered—temperance. and morality are on. the increase—we enjoy the fullest civil and religious freedom of any country under the sun —and if Canadians are not a content• ed, loyal; and prosperous people, it is their own fault. It is with profound gratitude to the "Giver of all" that our people should hail the return of that day which commemorates the national birth of this widely extended. Doman- ion. THE RETURN OF .PROSPERITY. The proposal, made at the French convention, to "hasten . the return; of ,prosperity," by electing the Grits. to office,' has the appearance of a grim'. joke when one remembers the sort of !. prosperity Canada groaned under when this country was once so unfort uuate as to be under Grit rule. But the gentlemen of the French convent- ion did not mean that it should be take en that way. They were hopeful that the bulk of the voters of the present day had forgotten the terrible time of Mackenzie's fly -on -the -wheel reign; that they had forgotten about the grass growing in the workshops; about . the gangs of g' g hungry men hanging about. the street corners: begging for work or bread; about the soup kitchens that were established to keep the souls in the bodies of the unfortunate working- men; about the smokeless stacks. the silent forges, the rusting machinery, the pinch of extreme poverty and the pangs of starvation that fixed the Grit reign permanently in the memories of the voters of those dismal days. The intention of the French conven- tion was simply to create the idea that the country is not now prosperous, that the votes of fools and blind men might be influenced. Look about you. There is no man In our cities, who is willing to work. who is unemployed at good wages, Farmers find it impossible to hire' labor, Teams are getting as high as $4.50; per day in the city, and cannot be had at that price, Every factory in the city (and there are a good many more of them that there were in Maekenzie's time), isrunnin full time, and some of them overtime. 'Seycral:large man- ufactories are at this moment being much enlarged. The 'merchants' are doing a constantly increasing' business. There is plenty of work and everybody is able to buy plenty to eat The city is a hive of industry. The banks. of the country are Solid, 'and business failures are almost unknown, and the few failures that occur are small af- fairs. Look again at the 'United States, to which the French convention would link Canada in basineos matters to share the business fate of that nation of gamblers, Banks are bursting by. the btindred. Big business con Cc,rns are tumbling all over the ln.nrz. Th national treasur itself has been bank- rupted rupted by the drain of gold to England all collapsed, and the duluded ane - tan farmers who went to make'fortunes there are hastening back to Canada— to the Canadian north-west. The large cities are full of poverty-stricken peo- ple, and Been iu Chicago, with all the "prosperity" tha great World's fair has. brought to it, there are thousands of starving people. actually dependent for life upon public charity! The French convention chose the wrong time to talk about the "return of prosperity," It may be that in Que- bec there is some poverty. It could hardly be otherwise when the circum- stances surrounding the people are considered; but no resolution of a French convention will ever change the condition of the inhabitants sulfie iently to bring about 'a "return of pros- perity," Canada in the main is pros- perous—very, very much more pros-. parous than the bankrupt United States, and very, very much more prosperous than she would be were she tied up to the gambling nation to the south of us, by means of commercial union.

The note, as far as it went, was accurate in stating that the parties concerned in the discussion concurred in admitting "Yalkee Doodle" to be the only gem of American music able to stand the tests applied by the critics. The con- tradictions. of course, were based on a few facts appearing in the encyclopedia' The Chicago Herald now, however, in an exceedingly interesting article, gives what we are inclined to think a true histore of the. air. The historic original of "Yankee Doodle" was found in Holland,` "when" says The Herald.

The music, is in all probabil- ity much more ancient than the Dutch version of the libretto, as the sea going men were the first to rejoice in the me- lody, But we are not dealing with.tra- dition. A later arrangement of the. words, as the writers of the encyclopdia tee us, was derisively dedicated to Cromwell riding into Kent on a little nag: . Yankee Doodle came to town Upon a Kentish pony; He stuck a feather in his zap.
