m jalong their ideas for publication while there is a great deal to be s 1 on all the different phases of the sub ject the tkiiiuke is of the opinion tha canada possesses all the essentials r the development of a grat nation independent of both great britain and the united states the fact tha ih latter country loos upon canada with a jealous eye is proof positive thatnui neighbors already consider our ountrv a rival in commerce which they cannot afford to despise it is very improbable that the ameri cans will ever interfere to any serious extent in our affairs as the tli erent parts of the republic already present so many conflicting interests that they have really all ihey can attend to in order to preserve an amicable state of affairs at home all wo ask of them is to accord to us the treatment that one civilized nation has a right to ex- pect from another and we will under take to paddle our own national canoe with the best of them coekbspondkncb ve wish it to be distinctly

communication protective association editor tribunk jbait sin some time ago i obser- wifin article in the columns of your wperwith reference to the formation of a protective association for the jmutua benefit of our business men ll then thought it a good idea and think ips and if i an not misinformed bitter experience is the reward meted out to seme of our business men for their aver zealousness to do a business and their long suffering towards their debtor when hisaiuivet becomes due not only does a merchant suffer by the absconding debtor for such arc a go d riddance to te community be he tin agent farmer mechanic or laborer but by the bribes of a persistent dead beat who is ever with us it the merchants do something for themselves to shake of such worthless vagabonds for they arc neither tit to live much less fit to die the reason why we have so many such leeches is with the mer chant himself dead beat goes up to the pyuntcr i want a little lea sugar dry goods bread flour meat c or whatever he may want as the case may lie when said goods arc done up de id beat says i havo not the money just row to pay you but will have it in a day or two when i will call andpiy weaning or else die it is not ut all clear to mo how an nexation could increase the value of fayn property an aero of ground will certainly product as much wheat or potatoes as a part of canada as it jfwould being a part of tho united states and as i havo said wcro trade relieved of its shackles tne advance would be just as rapid and substantial you this same dead beat has uo inten tion of paying for the goods when he entered the store much less in a day or tio that was the time to say no before the goods wens removed from the counter let such characters bo trcafci that way a few tunes and he will steer clear of the merchant who has thecouruge to say no it would be wtifor the paying community to iitsist on a cash business being done for it is a certainty that tuose who do pay have to pay for those charac ters who never pay and those long winded customers slow uote pay what can be said of them especially a man worth his thousands and asking a year credit for his grocers bill or the coat on his

who will consider the interests of atiada of more importance than favor ith the imperial authorities it is crifiinly plausible to imagine hat the nations with so muh of lan guage laws religion etc in common would easily amalgamate bjjit i fancy there are a great many customs and principles rampant in the united states which no true canadian yould vtsh to see prevalent in our own fjoun- ry we are all aware of the alifeady iowing influence of disreputable amevicaii business and political ways i our country and no one who has ho moral and religious welfare of can- ida at heart wishes to remove the present barrier but rather to make it s stronir as possible as far as regards the things 1 have mentioned then who that has read of the tur moil of the recent presidental election would wish to have that periodical fit of madness and utter suspension of business brought home to our own doors and when one reflects that the same infliction must be undergone iti tho selection of governors judges etc and so forth down to pound- keepers it is enough to make one be thankful that we arc not part of a democracy so vomijfety electoral fdr i have yet to learn that any state has so far departed from tho genius of republicanism as to revert to the sys tm of appointments which in their opinion smacks too much of royally and it is this very election of judges that forms a substantial objection to annexation the elected judge unless he be a very superior man thinks too much of his office and position to rea der impartial justice and thus the very foundation of liberty is subordin ated to party politics with regard to commercial advan tages it is only necessary to state that a wellconsidered system of reciprocity would rcmedylle present unsatisfact ory state oftho tariff and at the same jjjne remove all wishes for or fears of annexation by giving our farmers a wider market for t heir grain and enable thomto purchase their manu factured goods cheaper as native justly remarks our sucking bottle manufactures would have f stand having said so much 1 luust eon- dude by saying that independence o ers the best future for our country audi am upheld iu this view by a ma- jori or
