The \lth \Vm‘lz ’I'inme cave NH .Tnx' {Emil/l well decided by the heads of l It may be presumed that those Americans who had the privilege of reading “t/‘anada md the Canadians,” an article on our coun- try and its institutions, by Hon. J.\V. Long- ley, Attorneylieneral of No 'a Scotia, and published in Harper’s liftoff/y of Nov. 8th., will have their views somewhat clarified and enlarged as to the character of their neigh- bors, and the ent and resources of the Dominion. (‘onsideringthe comprehensive ness of the subjects he undcrtmk to discuss, and the necessary limitations of a newspaper article, Mr. Longley has done his work re- markably well. He has indicated the extent of the Dominion, naming the provinc -~ and territories which are included ; has gt en a concise but clear description cf the Constitu- tion of Canada, showing wherein it resemâ€" bles and differs from the llritish Constitution on the one hand, and the American on the other ; has described the federal and provin~ l cial governments, pointing out broadly the ‘ l functions of each ; has shown the rapid 111‘0‘ , gross of the country both in revenue and ex- . , denditure, in imports and exports since Conâ€" t federation ; has brielly discussed some oi the t i great national problems now confronting, or about to confront, the Canadian people, par- ticularly the French problem and the ques- tion of Canada‘s future destiny; and has con' , eluded with a prophecy that “ in fifty years t‘ time the world will see a community arising ‘ in the northern half of North America, fol- j lowing in the footsteps of the great nation to ‘ the south of it, in industrial prosperity and national power, and leaving European cin-_. . pires far behind." I Many of Mr. Longley’s utterances are un- questionably true expressions of Canadian, thought and feeling. For instance, he voices the popular sentiment when in speakâ€" , ing of the Canadian Senate he says: “ This ‘ body is the most efl‘cte and valucless that; could be imagined.” Again, when re- ; fcrring to the idea that Canada cannot be , coerced into annexation with the United ‘ IStates, he says: “The history of mankind i is eloquent of the fact that no English com» munity was ever coerced or bullied into do- ,‘ ing any thing. He does gross injustice to ‘ the Canadian people who supposes for a 1110- l ment that. they carry their loyalty and self- respect in a peddler's pack. Jingoes exist in 3 Canada as well as in the United States. and K these would be very glad to have events so g shape themselves that there should be con» ‘ 3 stant ill feeling between the two sections of‘ ithc Continent. hit the great mass of the people are strongly disposed to be on the " most friendly terms with the United , States. Nevertheless, no one will submit ; to coercion.” ()n the other hand, the ‘ article contains expressions that grate. on . loyal ears, and tend to provoke controversy; f for example, the statement that the present ' : relation of Canada to England is humiliat- ing, though profitable, and that the monar- , clnalism of Europe, including of course the i British is an etl'ete institution. Such ex- ’pressions, though they may show that the 1 Nova Scotia l’remier has the courage of hisi convictions, do not speak so well for his I sense of the titness of things, or of his knowledge of the facts. Indeed it is safe to say that the Canadians who share the opinion - that our present colonial relation is “ humil- iating" are exceedingly fcw,and that a desire for a change does not obtain to any appt ia- ' ble extent. \Vhen ourpopulation shill have t : grown to four or five times its present num- ‘bcr then it might be hutnilimingto continue as a colony. Then too it will be time enough [ to talk of separating from the mother coun- ‘ try. At present what could Canada do to I maintain her rights with other nations. No, Canadians do not feel humiliated by the prcst nt. condition of things which “ brings 1 us all the advantages of British prestige for our protection, and enables us to work out large problems of domestic economy undis- turbed by any haunting sense of foreign ag- gression, or any responsibility for the hap- penings of the world at large.” The North Dakota llegislatm'c stands, on joint luLlloL, 61 Republicans, ‘22 Democrats uml lU llnlependunm aml Farmers‘ Alliance You think I'm tart, Mr. Hnnpcck,” m Mm. 11'. 11‘» 711', mildly}, TWI‘S Comparative. 1V1 « {ERA I.

These figures are certainly significant and Show in a man- ner most striking the rapid growth of this Canadian industry, which has succeeded in distancing a competitor once so far in ad- 'anee. For this preference there is a reason, but only one, \ x, that the Canadian product is superior to its American rival. Still it must not be forgotten that the advantage gained is only a relative one, and may he lost unless our cheese-makers govern them- selves hy the same rule and mind the same things that gave them the advantage. In the estimation of the British consumer we havenot yet attained unto perfection. Faults are still complained of both in American and Canadian cheese. Of the former the London Grown" (lat/am says :â€"“ During the present season the United States have sen. us moist cheese, evidently containing too much whey, and the make has systematically depreciated aftcrarri 'al, causing annoyancé and loss to the importers, as well as injury to the re~ putation of American cheese amongst the consuming public.” ()1) the other hand it charges the Canadian cheese with a defect of adireetly opposite character, that is, of being “ too dry and mealy.” This de- fect must he remedied if our dairymen would hold the place of precedence which they have gained. For what with the ill- ereased e mpetition with British cheese- makers, who, it is said, are rapidly improv- ing their methods and the quality of their product, and what with the fact that our neighbors are not slow to take ahint,espeeiv ally when it means money in their pockets, if Canadian dairymen are to hold their own they must seek to perfect as far as possihle‘ their processes and theirproduet No doubt the suggestion will not he disregarded by those whom it particularly concerns, and the reputation alreadv acquired be steadily maintained.

It is objected to this system that the cities are in danger of beingr under- rated and the rural sections overestimated, owing to the Circumstance that nlanv young persons, clerks, servants and others, who have come from the rural districts where their parents still reside, and who have no intention of returning to their father‘shmne, are in danger of being included in the coun- try count audlost to the city by the pro- vision which 1011111105 the head of the house to include all who ate temporaiily absent 110111 home. To gumd against any injustice to the cities from this souree, the authori- tit intend, it is said, to divide this class of citizens into three classes: First, those who have no “home 7’ elsewhere in Canada and who have come to this country from abroad, ' second, those whosep: 111 ental ahode is e1sewliete, lint whose ptrnianent restimr plea: is to all intents and purposes in the city seeing that they merely visited home occasionally.

According to the decennial count of l88l the population of the Dominion was 4,324,800 and the estimate for 189], calculated by the log- aritlnnetic process, is 5,279,377. Whether the actual number will exeeed or fall short of this expectation can be positively know only when the enuine ‘ation is made.

As to the methods of enumeration the ehoiee lies between two systems know re- sp’etively as the (l jam and the 11/ flute. According to the latter7 whieh is the ‘ stem that obtains in Britain, the attempt is made to ascertain the number of people in the country on a given night, by requiring every householder to write in a sehetlule prepared for the purpose the names of all persons sleeping under his or her roof that night. To the number thus obtained those who are known to be tempo ‘arily ahsent,sueh as sail- ors and soldiers, of whom a special eensus is taken, is added. This svsteni takes no at: eount of whether the persons enumerated are permanent or transient residents of the country or whether they are rural dwellers sojourning for a time in the cities, or city people in the rural regions.
