by a continuance of the bondtng system. When continental union has been con-
summated Canada will not only enjoy all the advantages of unrestricted reciproeity,
and more forever, but will share with us all the beneflts resulting from treaties
we have entered into or may negotiate with other nations; or in other words, in
all the beneflts and privileges which inure to American citizenship for all time

Mr. Wiman seems to think that it would be an act of disloyalty on the part
of fair Miss Canada to leave her motlher's house, and accept the heart and hand
of Jonathan and become his wife. Mr. Wiman is a husband, to become such, a
man must persuade some good woman to leave her mother's home and care, and
become his wife for the express purpose of establishing an indcpenr nt hoine and
family of their own. Is it an act of disloyalty for a good woman ti be thie
wife of a good man ? Most certainly not. The moment Jonathan becomes the
husband of Miss Canada he also becomes the son-in-law of dear old mother Eng-
land, and the dear old lady becom es his mother-in-law, and fair Miss Canada her
married daughter, and if we may judge from Queen Victoria's great anxiety to
marry off her daugh ters and grand-daughters, far preferable to an unmarried
daughter. The loyalty cry raised at Ottawa by the charlatans who have Miss
Canada bound hand and foot, and are administering opiates to her, while they are
mortgaging her future, selling the bonds in DEngland, and dividing the proceeds
among themselves is contemptible, hypocritical cant intended to divert publlc at-
tention, while they secrete their swag and continue their orimes.
MARRIAGE IS HONORABLE BEFORE GOD AND MAN, AND SO WILL BSE TE U9ION
OF JONATHAN AND FAIR MIBSS CANADA.

denly he received a higher call, which he promptly accepted, or in iother words,
an offer of a higher salary in a larger fleld of usefulness. Ife left indred, ntgh-
bors, all his va luable business connections and the flag of old England and came
to New York city to take charge of the City department of Messrs. R. G. Dun
& Co.
Fromtn among all their managers they selected Mr. Wiman, an entire stranger,
not only to business customs in New York, but to the people he was to meet, as the
one most competent to flll that most difflcult and trying position. ' He left his home
under the British flag with alacrity to establish a new home under the *rs
and stripes, when this nation was involved in the most terrible civil wfr up
record. When United States six per cent bonds were selling'atforty cents on the
dollar in gold, and when the issue of the war was involved in doubt,and when the
