"TWO ABOUT THE DEAL. OLD CONDITIONS HAVE PASSED. The Four Reasons Which Produced Continentalists Have Died Nat- ral Deaths By JOHN V. BORNE, The drain of population from Can, ada to the United States was the fun- damental reason for such organiza: tions as the tion of which the late Geldwin Smith was president. Mr. Smith, in a letter ac cepting the presidency, gave tour rea- sons tee t the propaganda of the AS5O- ciation stills 2.

The exodus of young Canadian manhood to the United States There were two factors in Canadian development which the Continental ists of that day did not appreciate, and which inevitably produced a_ third, which = considerable harm to the co! In the first place the Continentalists did not see that the exodus to tht United States would not continue in- definitely, because tbe unoccupied lands of the Republic would fill up, and Canada's turn would come. In the second place they did not really belleve that Canada was a country of practically unlimited producing power. These two things together Iinevita- bly prevented the Continentalists from having a great vision of the fu- ture of Canada. They thought she would always be commerciaily depend- ent on the United States. They saw no future in which Carada could be the lynch-pin of an Empire more spa- cious and more splendid than the United States could ever be. ey said "Go to, let us make the most of our neighbor." They did not know how to say "Go to, let us make the most of ourselves." POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL. ' THREE SAID" GOOD-BYE 'REGIPROCITY " the Defeat He Sustained in 1891 By JOHN V. BORNE.

The magnificent point of this situa; tion is that the turning away from the United States (which for thirty years had treated Canada as a co factor with good-natured contempt), aud the new-found belief that Canada' could march along the road to nation- hood without regard to the business goodwill of the United States; were followed by an expansion of business that the firmest believer in her destiny Article of Faith and a veritable Pro mise of Hope to so many peop POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL. THE FARMER ~ RECEIVES MORE Prices For Which He Sells Have In- creased More Rapidly than the Cost of What He Buys By JOHN V. BORNE. "The wise man often changes his mind; the fool never""--a way of say- ing that the political wisdom of to-day is the political foolishness of to-mor- row. Nothing is more valuable than the teachings of history. Nothing is more futile than piling up proofs that many years experience have changed the point of view of a man or a party o: 3 It is nothing to show that Sir John Macdonald was serious or merely as- tute in advocating Reciprocity, forty, thirty, twenty years ago.
