the dark daya from to 1891 and later of brightness and prosperity which began shortly after Tlie Dark Days The of the ten years from 1881 to is burned into the memory of every Canadian of middle age Debt was increasing the taxation was growing and there was nothing to for it Population all Canada 4833000 Increase in ten years 000 all was stagnation everywhere Immigrants landed on our shores but they passed through to the United States Some people from older moved to the Canadian West but tho trails were soon cut deep by a second movement across the border to the south factory towns and Ontario farms there was a steady exodous to the cities of the Republic The whole country seemed smitten by blight and gloom settled on all when the census of showed an increase of but half a million in all Canada in the previous ten years Population of Western Provinces 1901 1906 809000 Increase in five years 390000 The Break of Dawn IS change came in the late nineties Under a new and progressive Gov ernment the transportation service was improved and charges lowered tariff anomalies were swept away and trade helped rather than hindered con ditions were made such that our own people were glad to remain at home and a vigorous campaign was inaugurated with a view of bringing the cream of the population from other lands to this The result is seen in the figures given r An increase in the population of three Provinces in years not muchless than that which took place in all Canada in years They Are Producers Nor has the stream of immigration which has poured into the West found its outlet in the towns Most of it has gone upon the land to till the soil Nearly im migrants from other coun tries settled on farms in the West during the five- year period ending with Of that total Mani

Immigration Immigrants settling on farms in ving in Provinces and five years ending Manitoba Alberta Saskatchewan Total 1 Good Stock All So much has been said of the antics of a few fanatical that many have concluded these make up a large proportion of the new arrivals in the West As a matter of fact the fanatics are a mere fraction even of the The great bulk of the new arrivals from abroad who have settled on Western farms are of our own blood Nearly one sixth came from the British Isles Almost onehalf are from the United States They Came From This table shows the countries from which most of the immigrant farmers who have settled in the West during the last five years came United States Britair Norway-Sweden- numbers as shown by the adjoining table came from the Scandinavian countries and Belgium These are all good stock- Even the are prov ing industrious and frugal settlers and are rapidly becoming assimilated with our own people Indeed competent observers predict that they will prove one of the very best elements in the new communities which are being molded in the West The story of the two periods is before you which do you prefer A continuance of progress under an active aggressive Govern menta Government that doers thingsor return to a period of stagnation under a party the abilities of which are exhausted in criticism
