average majority of fifty in the last Parliament. The expression of public opinion in Canada appears to be decidedly in favour of some fair measure of trade with the United States, but the problem is whether the dominant party in that country under existing circumstances will be content with a moderate treaty on the basis of that of 1854, with such changes as will meet the later condition of things. As already indicated, while the present Government favour restricted reciprocity, they are pledged to maintain the general principles of the National Policy, and to agree to no measure that will discriminate against the parent State. The gravity of the political situation for some time to come must be intensified by the fact that, while the party of unrestricted reciprocity has been defeated in the Dominion as a whole, it has developed strength in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, where the total representation of one hundred and fifty-seven members is nearly divided between the Government and the Opposition, and it is obvious that the contest between the two commercial policies has but commenced. Looking at the question from the point of view of an impartial observer, we can see that Canada is entering upon a very critical period in her history. She has reached that stage when all the antagonistic elements, arising from from those differences of nationality, geographical situation, and commercial interests, that exist in a Dominion stretching for three thousand five hundred miles between two oceans, must complicate its questions of government and require a careful, sagacious, and steady hand at the helm. Canadians are now practically the masters of their own destiny. From this time forward they have to face political, financial, and commercial problems, which it will require no ordinary statesmanship to solve wisely, and which must test to the very utmost their patriotism, their fidelity to an old and cherished connexion, and their ability to preserve their political autonomy on the continent, and build up a great and prosperous nation, always in close alliance, we trust, with England.
In the meantime, while the Canadian people are endeavouring to establish themselves firmly in America, it is earnestly to be hoped that any negotiations, which their Government may be able to enter upon with the authorities at Washington with the view of bringing about a settlement of all questions at issue between the two countries, will be eventually successful, now that a new and more liberal Congress has been elected. by the people of the United States, and that the MacKinley Bill has been unequivocally condemned by the public opinion of the Republic. One thing is certain, and that is,
the Canadian people, since 1866, have been taught the great lesson of self-reliance, and the necessity of developing all those qualities which are essential to the unity and security of their Dominion.* Conscious of the success that must be the reward of courage and energy, Canada is prepared to meet the difficulties of the future with confidence, and asks nothing from her great competitor except that consideration, justice, and sympathy, which are due to a people whose work on this continent has just begun, and whose achievements may yet be as remarkable as those of the great federation to their south. The same mysterious Providence, that has already divided the continent of America as far as the Rio Grande between Canada and the United States, and has in the past prevented their political fortunes becoming onc, still forces the Canadian communities with an irresistible power to press onward until they realize those high conceptions which their statesmen and people already imagine for them in a not distant future; but whilst the stream of Canadian development refuses to turn aside from its natural channel and swell the current that is ever carrying forward the Federal Republic to so high a position among the nations, Canadians wish Godspeed to their neighbours in their unparalleled career, and trust, as the months pass by, that the clouds which hang over the two countries may disappear, and a brighter prospect of continuous friendship may open before them both.
The present Governor-General of Canada, Lord Stanley of Preston, speaking from the high standpoint of an English statesman, anxious for the welfare of Canada, has of late seized every opportunity that has offered itself of pressing upon the Canadians the necessity of cultivating this spirit of self-reliance, and of facing all the difficulties of the present and future in a manly and hopefu spirit. Sympathetic speeches of this character keep alive an English feeling and maintain the unity of the Empire.
