,9,ii 47f 1 • Surely the dominion itself laolis not
a capacity for development. The cold
--- waters of the north contain an unlimit
ed supply of fish food, while the 5,000
miles of coast line afford a fishing
ground ot vast extent and richness.
Passing to the interior we find ail over
the provinces ale abundance of iron of
the highest grade. On the north
ebore of Lake Superior are rich des
posits of copper far exceeding those of
the famous Calumet & Hecla. In the
same locality there are known to be
enorrnoue deposits of nickel, and be-
cause of its scarcity it is one of the
most valuable minerals in the world.
The Canadian northwest is indeed full
of surprises, Of it Horatio Seymour
is. quoted as saying : "There is a coun-
try owned by England with greater
grain and stock'raisiug capacity than
all the lands on the Baltic, the Black
sea, and the Mediterranean Combined;
The fertility of the dominion is tine
equaled, its mineral wealth beyond
estimate, its forests the largest on the
globe, its 5,000 miles of coast line
fisheries the most valuable, its coal
beds 97,000 square miles in extent, its
means of water communieatron unsur-
passed and its water power sufficient
to drive the machinery of the world.
Why does not the vast dominion,
"the brightest ;em in the British
crown," develop her resources? No
other answer can be made ' than that
the government of the country is the
barrier to its progress.
Some one has said that "it is shelter•
ing itself under a free alliance with
the motherland," But British con-
nection, the rather, are keeping from
its shore thousands of emigrants.
British ties have driven from its heart
1,000,000 of 4,000,000 native•born of
the land. Sovereign in all internal
affairs, Canada bas not the sweet
privilege which independent nations
prize and enjoy. It has no voice in
regulating its foreign affairs. It is
hampered by treaties made in the
mime of the sovereign, but really made
by the prime minister and foreign
secretary of England, who are not
responsible to the Canadians for what
they do.. or leave undone. Canada
certainly has interests "abroad separ-
able from those of the empire ; and it
cannot be said with justice to Can
adieu statesmen that a British foreign
minister,` who has never seen the
grand dominion, can enter into negoe
tiations with the same singleness ot
purpose which would animate one
whose home and affections are with
the provinces.

THE RELATIONS OF CANADA WITH
THE UNITED STATES.
The following is an address, deliver
ed at the graduating exercises at the
state normal school in Ypsilanti,
Mich, by Mr Joseph Jenkins, son of
1VIr Thos Jenkins, Turnberry, (Blue.
vale road). The address is worth the
perusal of our readers, as it treats on
a subject that all Canadians are inter-
ested in. We copy it from the Detroit
Journal
The United States is adding -to ;its}
population.194 persons every 'hour:
One steady, continued, onatard march
of progress and prosperity bas placed
this country among the first nations of
the world. Russia, India and China
report a larger population, but do not
equal the 'United States in industrial
progress. China, with her hundreds
of millions, cannot produce as much
to supply, human wants, or consume
as much, as the people of this country;
and it is probable that beforethe
infant of to -day becomes a voter -the
United.States of America will 'sur-
pass Russia in population, as it does
. now in production.
Turning from this inspiring condi-
tion of things on the southern and
smaller half of the country which
ought to have a spectacle almost as
delightful to behold.
Looking over statistics, we find that
Canada, with 1.25 persons per square
mile, is among the most thinly popu-
rated countries on the globe. Figures
demonstrate the inability of . the
dominion to do much better than hold
its own during the past ten years. The,
increase of Canadian population has
zot been sufficient to ground our faith
in the future on a basis of satisfaction
with present conditions. Facts and
figures show that Canada is simply
marking time to the onward march of
her neighbor to the south.
To matte sure that we are not
theorizing on this matter, examine, if
you wilt, portions of the two countries
on the border region. Look at the
striking difference between the Ameri-
can "Soo" and the Canadian "Soo."
The thrifty cities of Buffalo, Cleve -
laud and Toledo find no rival cities on
the Canadian side, The beautiful city
of Detroit, with over 200,000 popula-
tion, is in close ptoximity with the
Small Canadian town of Windsor, the
Streets of which during the darkest
hours of the night are illuminated by
the straying light from the American
shore.
When we think of the United
States, with all its industries and its
grand array of 350 cities, each having
n population of over 10,000, aha
Canada, with only 23 cities of the
saute rank; when we think of 006
American city (Mileage) adding to
its populattion at a rate equaling that
of the entire Dominion, we can eaa:ily
sir; who? Why, your Clinton scribe,
Last week he was a pretty sick man,
thus with other things, his budget for
the Wingham Thins had to be laid
over. In perusing the above paper of
last week, we could but notice how
brimful were its columns of dainty
pickings and good advice, also were we
glad. that all fall fairs are over, so that
henceforth we will have something else
to digest, than those wonderful things,
at these wonderful shows.
THE ICNOT 'LED. —And so be has
been and done it, sir ; that is, Mr T
Rumball joined the benedicts on
Wedndesday of last week, the youpg
lady in question being Miss Mary
Walker, The same afternoon they
proceeded on their wedding tour, tak-
ing in London and Detroit, returning
therefrom on Monday last, We con-
gratulate them most heartily and wish
them every,success in life.
We notice that Mr Kling, a respect.
ed Winghamian, possesses a fine blood
colt; and when hitched into that prize
buggy of his, make a splendid equip-
ment.
PLEASE ANswEn.—We notice by
one of the•dailies that. Mr Gladstone
has been presented with the freedom
of Newcastle., Would you kindly, Mr
Editor, enlighten a darkened mind, as
to the privileges that this our much
honored statesman will enjoy by such
a presentation.
Such being the facts, the Canadian
people can with .the truest loyalty
break their British connections; for
disloyalty to one's self, and one's in-
terests, and one's country is greater
than disloyalty to the Queen.
BLIND, BUT YET THEY SEE,—"Tile
world's little wonder" was at the Army
all day on Sunday. Although blind,
he is a most happy specimen of human
nature. It was somewhat pathetic to
notice, that three blind young people
were on the platform Sunday last. If
all the soldiers had been present, the
number would be tour who had lost
their eye sight, It is indeed a lament=
able eight to see their bodily darkness,
although their spiritual vision is to be
envied.
A PAINFUL OPERATION.—Mr Jas
Brownlee, a yoting man who is much
respected in our town, is away this
week in ,Kingston, where he will
undergo a very critical operation. He
has been unwell for' a long while,
this being his only chance for a com-
plete recovery. We sincerely hope he
will return from thither, .a well. and
stroug man, as in the days of yore.
WINGHAnr THE WISE,—They call
the Queen City "Toronto the Good."
Wingham might rightly be named
"Wingham the Wise," for its citizens
exhibit great wisdom in encouraging
all kinds of labour making industries,
thus making their city to buzz, like
the many saws of their numerous fac-
tories ; for where much labour is em-
ployed, then does capital also reap
great benefit. One is useless without
the other, therefore .rust they go
hand in hand. ,
• PRETTY SIOIt.—Mr John Barge,
harness matter, of Blenhiem, also son
of Mr D Barge, of this town, is, we
are sorry to state, very low with ty-
phoid fever. We hope soon to hear
of his perfect recovery.
Looking at the financial and trade
conditions of the dominion, we see
that if is not in a position to assume
the dignity of an independent nation,
Between the maritime provinces and
Ontario there is but little trade, and
that little is for the most part artifi-
cial and profitless. Between Ontario
and Manitoba the traffic is light and
the latter province would prefer to
trade with states and territories to the
south of it. Between British Colum-
bia and the rest of the dominion
there is soracety any trade.
A glance at the map of North
America reveals to us the key to
Canadian progress. All along its
southern boundary it is tied by water
ways and bound by railways to the
American union, the greatest money
making nation in the world. To this
nation it is anchored by common
interests and common thought.
Were the high international wall
once broken down the national difficult
ties between this country and Canada
would he settled forever. Then
British Columbia would find its com-
plement in California and Oregon.
Then Manitoba and the northwest
would share with Minnesota, Montana
and the Dakotas in a natural course
of trade. Then between the maritime
provinces and the New England states
that naturel and.intimate commercial
relationship which no hostile barriers
have hr'en able to destroy, would have
its freedom, 'Then every brad of coal,
every vein of mineral deposit, every
fish that swims in stream or lake, and
every tree that waves 'within the vast
dominion would have an increased

The twenty-sixth annual provincial
convention ot the above associittion
will be held in the city of Ottawa, on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, '
the 27th, 28th and 29th of October.

pany has granted liberal terms of 11

points west of Toronto, single fare to
Toronto added to the'$5 ; paints east.
of Toronto, single tare, but not in any
case to exceed $5. Arrangements
with the Grand Trunk Railway Corn -
patty are equally favorable ; so that it
is hoped and expected that the num•
ber of delegates will be large. Mr B
F Jaeobs,chairman of the International
Sunday School Executive committee,
has definitely promised to be present,
as has also .t:tev Principal MaoVioar,
of Montreal. Efforts have been made
during the past year, by officers of the
association, assisted' by warm friends
of the cause, to complete the organiza-

Bluevale.
The lecture given by Rev J L Mur-
ray, M A,of Kincardine,in the Presby-
terian church here, was well attended
and every person was well pleased
with the evening's entertainment.
This revernd gentleman gave a short,
rapid and graplic sketch of his trip
across, the Atlantic, through England,
Scotland and thence across the Eng-
lish
ndlish Channel to Paris ; and from there
across'the Alps into Italy. • It was
then that this noted lecturer held the
attention of the audience as if spell,
hound by his wonderful gift of speech
in disoribing the beauties of Italy.
He gave them a soul -inspiring account
of Venice, the city built on the waters,
the ruins of Pompeii, the beautiful
city of Naples and Mount Vesuvius,
Herculanum and more especially
Rome, the ancient capital of the
world. So well pleased were the
people of Bluevale, with this lecture,
that Rev Mr Murray will always find
warm friends here.—On Friday,' Oct
9th, the annual harvest home festival
was held in the Methodist church. It
was a grand success. From 5 o'clock
till 7 a hot dinner was served in the
basement of the church, after whieh
the people were treated to a fine pro-
gramme in the upper part of the
ohttrch. ' Excellent addresses were
delivered by Rev S Seliery, M A,B D,
chairman of the district ; Rev G F
Salton,of Brussels ; Rev A Y Hartley
and others. The Brussels choir, one
of the finest in the Wingham district,
supplied the musical part of the enter•
tainment and well merited the praise
accorded them by the audience.
