Editor Netr.••-Record
SIR : Au olectiuu approaches. As I
understand, the game ie to be, "Coun-
try or no Couutry" and exceedingly re •
gret that, the Reformers are ou the
negative aide. On the matter of Trade,
i e Tories say, "Wee shall eek all the
Reoiproc1 .,.S 1` condition of Canada
requires." Refornr°re say1 W e can
get more reciprocity tha ° e •.das..
The Yankees say, "Yo can't, neither of
ye, get any reciprocity unless you give
us your Country in exchange". Gold•
win Smith responds, "All right, loyalty
to Canada, means Annexation to the
United States". Charlton adds,
"Them'a my eontiments". Cartwright
rejoine, "Yes that's so, Canada will he
"bankrupt," if we don't do that, or
euthin". Laurier smile., looks across
the lino, and say's, "good fellers." The
Globe sneers at Canada, and all things
British,
In "Macmillan" for January, Goldwin
Srnith alludee to Toronto's Comic
paper as often epeaking truth in jest.
Once on a time, as the story gees,
"Grip" brought out an admirable oar.
toon. 1t consisted of a ee:pent, coiled
ready to strike : beneath, were the
words'The Annexation Basilisk". The
fare of the reptile, was an excellent
portrait of Goldwin Smith.
We all know that snakes are given
to changing then- coats, but no one ever
koew a reptile to change his nature.
In "Macmillan" alluded to, the
"Basilisk" sounds hie rattles on celebrat-
ing the Battle ot Qtteeneton Heights,
and raising the "Old Flag" over Cana-
dian Schools : "though with little coun-
tenance, be it said, from any leading
citizens, or the •pore responsible part of
the community '. Such is Smith's idea
of the educators and civic officials in
every County where the Union Jack has
been raised. However, this gentleman
is familiar with a good many banks, and
he insane the land shall know it.,
Whet pains he t.eok to tell hishearere that
he hal studied history before he went
to Rome. Yes we know that was h
work when he was an usher at
Oxford, and he had to study history else
he'd last hie chair : in foot, that's all he
knows. I know n -at how ho lost his se..t
in Oxford, but I reckon he was asked to
resign from lack of judgment. 1teplit-
ing to New York, he essayed to "right
up" things there : was not appreciated, :
sougbt, and obtained the History Chair
in Qornell. Whether he ever actually
assisted any of the boys, in their recita-
tions, I do not know, But he soon came
to Canada, and at once, began to "show
off'. Constitutionally, he is a rare
specimen of concrete repulsion . What-
ever government organisation he finds,
he seeks to destroy it. Grits in power,
Smith is a Tory, and, vice versa.
Free trade on the Lapis, he suggests a
high tariff. Where he finds "prohibf•
tion," he lectures in favor of license, as he
did in Calgary two years ago.
If the "Express" reported correct)) ,
he told the eitizena of Buffalo N. Y. that
Canada was ripe for annexation : and
that all the Yankees needed to do, was
to reach out their hands and take it.
Hereafter, when they hear the "sounding
rattles" Canadians will undoretand
where the "Basilisk" ie.
The policy of the Reform party le
neither more nor lees than NATIONAL
SUICIDE. All love of Country, and
self-respect are to be given away for
what ? Ammer and BLUSH !
Knock down the tariff wall, what
then ? Why, there would be a gretit
rush of men and money into Canada.
Where would those oomo from ? Why,
from the States, to be etre, So then
your policy ie to build up Canada, at the
expense of the U. S. What we gain. they
lose. CANADA TO -DAY IS MORE
PROSPEROUS THAN U. S. Remove
the tariff, and trade would not rise above
the fountain hoed.—Cont,
