Rensselaer Republican, Volume 20, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 January 1888 — Commercial Union. [ARTICLE]

Commercial Union.

The Pall Mall Gazette’s traveling commissioner, writing from Toronto, sayß: ‘Commercial, union is the coming question for Canada: It is talked about everywhere, and is a question which which will slit Canadian parties and will determine the whole relationship between Canada and the United States for } ears to come and affect to a great, if not a vital degree the future of the Anglo-Saxon race upon the globe. Both the Globe and Mail, of Toronto, the first being a Liberal organ and the second recently converted from Conservatism to vie with each other in strength of their support. My own experience is that outside of Ottawa, which is the center of ministerialism, three out of five of the most intelligent men I have met are enthusi-astic-commercial unionists.’ ”
