Excerpt from What Is the Destiny of Canada? Eight men of every ten in the United States, who have thought upon the subject, have reached the con elusion that Canada ought to belong to that country. This decision has not been reached'by an elaborate process of reasoning, nor by a mature consideration of the consequences of such an event. The general belief that the United States comprises nearly all that is worth having on the continent makes it easy for the average American. To jump to the conclusion that what remains ought to be included within the Union. Vvith out realizing the magnitude of the country to the north, or making any estimate of its possibilities, the general conclusion is that its addition to the United States would not disturb or imperil the existing system. A more careful study of the matter might lead to a different conclusion but, in view of the feeling which now prevails, the eventual acquisition of Canada as a National policy would be approved by an immense majority.
