CANADA’S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March 28, 1912, in an article dealing with Canada's progress, says: “At the present moment eight shiploads of European immigrants are afloat for Canada, while there are signs that the outward movement which is customary with us during labor troubles will be marked this year. There is no such startling record of our loss to Canada. Our citizens quietly slip over the border in groups or trainloads, bus their going is not advertised. "There is no mystery why Canada is the ‘good thing’ the United States used to be. It is because Canada is following in itß neighbor’s footsteps' that it is repeating _the fortunate experience which its neighbor is envying, even while deliberately turning its back on the teachings of tie past A fortnight ago the Dominion budget speech reported the unprecedented surplus of 239,000,000, and on Thursday the Government passed through the Committee on Supply credits of 338,000,000 for railways and canals. With this assistance the railways themselves are both enabled ahd compelled to increase their facilities. Accordingly we find a single road allots ting ten millions for work of its own. Naturally the Canadian newspapers contain announcements calling for tfty thousand men for construction work. This Influx is apart from those Americans who go with money in their pocketß obtained by cashing in their high-priced American lands. "4 St. Paul dispatch says that within a fortnight two thousand carloads of farm animals and machinery have passed toward Canada, the property of men who expect to pay for their farms with the first crop.”
