Those : fellows, the-Awericann, are helping hi Ball in every way in his delusion, and are trying to persuade him that in giving up Canada he will be parting with thing of no great value. At the same time they are investing their money large- ly here. As to the commercial position and pros. prcts of Canada 1 have, besides the evi- de of my own senses, the testimony of official figures as to its trade for the last five vears. These tell me that where- as in 1867-68 there were but 13,100,000 letters posted in the Domipion ; in 1871- re $U,600,000---an increase of 66 per he amount of woyey orders creased in the same period by a similar per centage. This means that the juter- nal business of the country will have don bled itself in eight years. 1 should like to know if the conrmercial annals of Great Britain ean show suything like this. I doubt whether fignges from the United States cw be found to egal them. The sa oe evidence is found everywhere, 1 am not in the ieast degree surprised at the Canadisus being proud of all this. They are justified in their pride, and Eng lish:uan would be prond too if they only knew as much about it as they ought.
