Excerpt from The Legal News, Vol. 7 These islands have 35 millions of people. Canada has now Australia will soon have Britain has for the small area she possesses greater resources in coal and other wealth, but it may be well for her to remember how little of the earth's surface she possesses in comparison with her children. (hear, hear.) The area of Canada and of the Australian States is so vast, the fertility of their soil is so remarkable, the healthfulness of their climate is so well proved, and the rapid increase of their white population is so certain, that within the life time of the children of gentlemen here pre sent their numbers will equal our own. In another century they must be greatly supe rior to us in men and material of wealth. (hear, hear.) How foolish, therefore, will our successors in England deem us to have been if we do not meet to the fullest degree possible the wishes of these growing States. We trust our good neighbour of St. Louis will come and see for himself, and even if he chooses the week of our winter carnival for his visit, we doubt not that he will have reason to revise his estimate of us.
