,Friday of this week ie the twenty-
fifth anniversary of the Dominion
of C+rneda.. When one looks back
and considers the then and now of
this Dominion, how the 11•aart leaps
exultingly at;the progress this coun•
try has Pada in a quarter of a
century ! There is no parallel to
it in the history of nations. We
have reversed the point in Shake•
speare's line. "sweet flowers are
slow and weeds make haste." \Ve
have grown with weedy haste, but
not in a useless or troublesome way,
but decked with the typical sweet
flowers of moral rectitude ae well as
Imam iul progress.
\Ve have grown during the period
under review from shreddy patches
of insignificant pro..iucea to a
homogenous whole with a territorial
arca of over three ar.d a half rail•
lions of square miles, an area greater
than that of any other nation on
the continent to which we belong'
and nearly equal to the whole of
Europe. And our area comprises
the choicest portion of this contin-
ent whether considered from the
climatic, agricultural, mineral
marine or forest point of view. We
have about 400,000,000 acres of
arable land outside of the organized
provinces. Our wheat zone covers
one and a half millions of square
mules, the coarser grains and grass
zone covers two and a half millions
of sgna:e miles. We have the larg-
est extent of and most valuable
forests on the continent, our dopes -
its of gold, silver, copper, '.coal,
nicklo and salt are the most valu-
able in the world.
But Rome was not built in a day,
nor even the world created in that
time by Omnipotence. But we
have developed onr natural re-
sources in a marvellous d
sidoring that we
only something over 3,000,000 souls
and even not, with the remarkable
growth of nearly eeventy•fivo per
cent in population in a quarter of' It
century,we are but a people of only
slightly over 5,000,000 souls.
Notwithstanding our sparseness of
population we have already, upon
tens of thousands of 'acres,
Where grew the sharp thistle, planted
corn,
And grafted the rose upon the prickly
thorn.
Our exports are increasing. The
first 11 months, of the fiscal your
ending June 30th 1891 they
amounted to $84,572,833 ; for the
first 11 •months of the fiscal year
endingJube 30th 1892 they amount-
ed to $96,606,411. That is we sold
over twelve million dollars more pro-
ducts abroad the past year than the
year before, and as our population
has not increased in the same ratio
the gratifying inference is logically
deducible that our people must be
becoming wealthier. Indeed this
view is confirmed by the statements
of the deposits in chartered banks
and the Postofice and Savings
banks. And it ia further gratifying
to know that these deposits are
largely the savings of farmers and
other of the industrial classes.
[hough, there has not been much
increase in the industrial classes in
rural -.:sections owing to the greater
facility for using machinery on, the
farm and the liberal introduction •of
it through the greater purchasing
power of the people, supplemented
by the cheapness of the articles re,
quired, brought about by the nation-
al policy which has linen the means
df establishing "factories for the
manufacture of agricultural imple-
enents almost at every man's door—
•this lessor iecrease has been more
than compensated by the large in-
crease of employees ire manufactur-
ing industries.
In 1881 there were bot 144,915
artisans employed in the Dominion;
in 1891 there were 367,406, an in-
crease of 122,581 in the last ten
years as against an average of only
56,941 in the previous ten yearn.
It will be seen that we aro "getting
there" in the matter of creating a
home market by so largely increase
ing the number of liome consumers
of agricultural products.
Our industrial manufacturing de,
velopment has been of complex
benefit. If our farmers could not
be supplied with machineri ofUana-
dian make they would have gone
abroad for it, and the agricultural
labor thus displaced • as well
as the labor employed in manu-
facturing would have had to go
abroad also, to seek a livelihood.
But it .would appear that es fast as
the demand for agricultural help
decreased the demand for factory
00 Mil-
ted in with
It goes without saying that
have had our worries and cares.
The rills of pleasure never run sincere,
(Earth has no unpolluted spring;)
Some cussed men a dangerous taint do
bear,
So roses grow ou thorns, and honey
wears a sting.
We have had and have now onr
thorns and malcontents ; men who
are so lost to all sense of patriotism
and decency as to endeavor in our
legislatures end in the press to
sting the mother that gave them
birth, to belittle the land that
affords them a shelter and a living,
and to lick and fawn upon the hand
that strikes them. These base men
can see no good in the grand inheri-
tance to which they iv ere unworthily
born, have no pride in the traditions
of the peerless Empire whose glories•
we have a pride and a part in.
'these ingrates are more lost to
shame than the very devil himself,
they seem to glory in their self
abasement at the feet of foreigners
who are not worthy, in all that
col stitutes a free, noble, prosperous
and virtuous nation, to unloose the
latchets of the shoes of the people
of the Dominion of Canada or of the
Empire of which we form so inlpor
tant a nation. They aro callous to
the gooduese and virtues of our own
government and people, and would
not pine though all these were lost
'and we were swallowed up in the
vortex of demagogism, deceit and
deviltry of a conscienceless foreign
power—foreign in nationality and
foreign to all the virtues which have
inspired, the world with reverence
fur the term British.
Even the devil, traitor as he was,
is represented as ashamed and sorry
that he lost his birthright, but Can-
adian traitors have descended to
even a lower depth.
"Abashed the devil stood,
And felt how awful goodness is, and saw
Virtue in her own shape how lovely ; saw
and pined his loss."
\\chile we regret to see the micro-
scopically small defects in our body
politic, we are proud antd pleased to
believe that the rank and file of the
two great political parties that aim
to shape the destiny of this country
are oue in b•b-air-desire to perpetuate
the glories of the mother in her
Canadian offapring. However much
these great parties may differ as to
the best means to a given end—the
welfare of Cadada and the perpetu-
ity of the British Empire—we be-
lieve this is the aim of both. And
on, the 25th anniversary of the birth
of this Greater Britain, Liberal -Con-
servative and Reformer, Grit and
Tory, can join in paena of rejoicing
over our being members of the British
Empire and in possessions so grand in
extent, resources and civilization,
that great Caesar in his wildest
dreams never looked upon the like.
Our country may be likened to Ceres
dressed with our inland lakes for
jewels and the sparkling Niagara for
diamonds, and beneath all an eleva,
tion of heart, mind and soul urging
us on in loyalty to our country and
"that we may prove that good, and
acceptable, and perfect will of God."

the Right Hon. James Lowther said
the people reef, England would be iu
favor of preferential trade rates be-

various outlying portions of the

advocated a preferential tariff within
the Empire. He said 'Canada was
quite capable of supplying the em-
pire with food products. He urged
the British government to place a
duty of 5 shillings per quarter on
all foreign grain and that Canadian

Donald Smith spoke in the same

Rev. Dr. Douglass, the eminent
blind Methodist preacher, is out in

John Thompson. He charges the

pervert from Methodism to 'Roman.
ism and with being a Jesuit at heart
if not a lay member of that society.
The. Rev. Dr's. utterances breathe
anything but a Christian spirit, and
his remarks in conference were
studded with misrepresentations.
We look upon Sir John Thompson
as the ablest and most honest Min-
ister of Justice we ever have had in
Canada. The so-called religious
spirit that inspires these att,tchs
upon him is undiluted bigotry or
fanaticism unworthy this enlighten-
ed age or of any man or set of men
pretending to hold views in accord•
with the teachings of Christ, Sir
John Thompson has as much right
to be a Roman Catholic as:Douglass
has to be a Protestant. As to the
assertion that the civil or religious
liberties of the people of Canada
aro iu danger at the hands of Sir
John Thompson, no sensible or
reasonable man takes any stook in it,
Sir John Thompson is not the Par-
liament of Canada, nor can he con•
trol it. All legislation must have
the sanction of Parliament, and it
is inconceivable that a hody of over
two -hundred mon, at least three-
fourths of whom or@ ProteQtenta,can

of their number into sacrificing
the Protestant liberties of this

An Ainerican traveller was here
this week and be tells how greet
was the excitement in Windsor the
other night when Dan McGilllcudy,
of Goderich, fired the hearts of a lot
hoodlums that camp across the
river from Detroit to attend an an•
4exatioti meeting. Mr. McGilli-
cudy had put his herculean shoul-
ders to uniting Ontario to Michigan,
and had supplemented his work
with well rounded periods of
eloquence when' some parties shout-
ed, "She's moving!" • "I tell you
she's moving 1" Instantly the query
wee put, "What's moving?" "Why,"
came the reply, "the whole doggast•
ed thing is moving. Can't you feel
i't. Why Canada is sliding over;
the Detroit river is narrowing.
We expect in a few minutes, if this
thing ain't stopped, that there is
not a boat in the rivei but will be
jammed to pieces like a polar boat
between two converging icebergs.
Stop this thing, I tell you! I'm a
steamboat matt and I don't want ter
be ruined. And if this thing is
kept up Windsor will be jammed
up agin Detroit wharves and there
will be nary a river loft. I was in
favor of annexation, but I don't
want my business ruined by having
Canada fill up the Detroit river
with her silo in order to jine her to
the United States." And, notwith-
standing vociferous shouts of "Let
her go, Gallagher," this practical
view of annexation killed Mr. Mc-
Gillicuddy's efforts, and the long•
shore men raised such a row that
the dire cataetropho was averted and
the Detroit river is yet water in•
stead of Canadian "site", and the
city of the Straits and Windsor are
still ports at which vessels can call,
and Windsor, which has just at-
tained to the dignity of a city, will
for a time, at least, remain under
the old flag.

A McDonald ran, as an annexa-

Local Legislature for Toronto. He
received 174 votes out of 22,000.
Then at a public meeting one of the
speakers called him a traitor and
the acting Police Magistrate refused
to fine the alleged traducer of Mr.
McDonald as ho considered the
allegation true and proven true. And
now comes Sir Oliver Mowat and
dismisses one of his County Attor-
neys because he advocated poli•
tical annexation to the United
States of the country to which be
had sworn allegiance and to pro-
tect whose intereste,and fealty to the
the Crown, he was especially charg-

with impunity ; and when an offic-

tyranny, Sir Oliver, and you will
deserve even greater honors than

upon false premises. ' It is the
veriest clap trap. No such prat•

The issues in the Imperial elec—

ordinarily exciting character. Mr.
Gladstone's only chance of success
lies in the enlarged gains of the
separatists. For home rule means
all this and more. According to
Lord Salisbury it means, "the put,
ting of the protestants as well as the
roman catholics of Ireland under
the feet of Rev. Dr. Walsh and his
political friends." Salisbury justi-
fies the threat of resistance by the
Ulstermen on this ground. "I do
not believe," said he, "in the un—
restricted power of Parliament any
more than Ido in the unrestricted
power of kings." Harper's New
York Weekly holds that this is sound
English as well as American
doctrine. I't began at Runnymede
and was inculcated at the American
Revolution. Parliament has the
right to govern the people of Ulster
but not the right to sell them into
slavery is Lord Salisbury's gumming
