Special Dispatch to The Catcago Tribune, Tozoxro, Dec. 1.—The Globe says: “In President Hayes’ message he recommends the improvement of Columbia River for nav- tion purposes.

PASSTREAL, Dec. 9.—To the Editor of the oe ‘ork Herald: The astounding prog- ean Of the United States during the last . ble gen fairly placed the American Re- te the head of civilized nations. Still, traces resources of this great coun- next Ads y partially developed. What the yond aot Years will accomplish is be- eer calculations; but we may surely United upon it, the manifest destiny of the tin States is not only to rule over this nine but to extend to the whole world uence of their greatness. f pe American Republic has been en- bo fore orbed by its domestic affairs, with iQ policy of any importance. On Sine occasions Canada has made advances Were not even considered, The time Ee aS Se 8 CY Le RA EE has come when the American Nation, with a population of 50,000,000 of free people, must take the responsibility attached to its lead- ing position, and prepare that bold policy which will give her a controlling influence over the affairs of her own Continent,—an influence to which she iS entitled by her overwhelming power. The first stepin this direction must be ma de with the view of obtaining a cominer- cial union of Canada with the United States. Geographically and economically there is not a single reason why thetwo shores of the St. Lawrence, as well as the great North- west, should be separated by a custom-house line, which is 2 constant and fatal obstacle in the way of more intimate commercial re- lations. In maintaining our prohibitory tariffs against one another we have been the dupes of the policy of Great Britain, whose sole object is to keep us separated as widely possible,so as to reap for herself exclu- sively the full benefit of the Canadian trade. Ever since the War of Independence, En- gland has taken good care to create and fos- ter in the breast of every Canadian the most hostile spirit against the United States; and the battle-fields over which our forefathers have fought so fiercely tell us too well how successful she has been. But that time has passed away, and we Canadians have since found out that our best friends were to be found, not across the Atlantic, but south of the St. Lawrence, in our immediate neigh- borhood. H When our. country was flooded with Man- chester goods, and our people were starved for want of profitable employment, we did not look to Great Britain for relief, but to the workshops of the manufacturing centres of the New England States. There we found a ready and profitable market for our surplus labor and productions. We met with a progressive and unprejudiced community, which now consists of millions of our own people. This very year 100,000 Canadians ave found comfortable homes and profitable employment in the workshfops of the great American Republic. . Now, if it is our mutual interest to be com- mercially united, why should we not abolish at once the custom-house line separating both countries? Why should not the St Lawrence be the greathighway of the North- western trade, free to the productions of our vast prairie-lands? Why should not, our canals, be free to our ips, from Lake Superior toe the ocean? In a few months our expenditure of $50,000,000 for the improvement of the navigation of the St. Lawrence will allow 1,500-ton steamers to take cargo at Duluth, 2,000 miles in the interior of the Continent, and to pro- ‘without breaking bulk, to Liverpool or London. Why should not the Western States, as well as our Western Provinces, take advantage of this unrivaled deep-water navigation between the boundless prairie- country of the Far West and the famishing millions of the Otd World? Whyshould not ‘American capital help us to build extensive railways from the head-waters of Lake Supe- ior through our 150,000,000 acres of fertile belt now awaiting the emigrant? There is no reason why, except the profound igno- rance in which we stand toward one another. Weare designedly kept apart when our best interests should force us to be united. We are both the sillydupes of a_ policy from which we both suffer. We in Can- ada understand it all, and have re peatedly made advances to the United States for a remedy, but without avail. Let the American Nation now adopt a commer- cial platform wide enough to cover the whole of our North American Continent. You have to decide If the Dominion of Canada is toremain a British possession, hostile to American institutions and interests; or if we Canadians are to look to the United States for a commercial union, giving us. all the advantages due to our position on this Conti- nent. We know full well that from pole to pole on this land of liberty we are the only colonists tied and governed by an frrespon- sible colonial department 3,000 miles away; that we are the only people who do not own themselves, out of a total population of 100,000,000 of free born Americans. the re” spected citizens of seventeen republics. We do not wish to remain any longer the outlaws of America. On the contrary, we wish to take our proud position among the American nations, 7 ‘But to do that we must have the friendly support and codperation of the United States, both of which have so far been constantly refused when applied for in a practical shape. With the election of Gen. arfiela, who is well snawn to be friendly to 2 bro: Continental policy, we hope to see the Jead- ing men of beth parties take a broad view of what must be the manifest destiny of the great American Republic. Let the @overnment of Washington offer the Dominion of Canada a complete com- mercial union in settlementof all the fishery, navigation, and customn-house difficulties, past and present, and the Canadian people will not be long in embracing this grand op- portunity of uniting in one great Zollverein the two branches of the Anglo-Saxon race of this Continent, and of making us commer- cially one people, from Mexico to the North J.

Shot Bra aie MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. Spsctal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Toronto, Dec. 11.—Sccialistie principles seem to be making their way here, judging by the fact that a large number of subscrip- tions have been sent off to a new Boston So- cialistic revolutionary review styled the An- archist. The Currency-Reform League, at its con- vention here, passed the following resolu- tion: “That, believing that the land should belong to the people who inhabit and culti- vate it, we hereby express our sympathy with the Irish Land League movement to restore to the people of Ireland their ipalienabie rights, and trust that their ef- forts will soon be crowned with success.” Mr. Wallace, M. P., was Chairman of the Convention. Messrs. Cribbs of Thorold, Wyan of St. Catharines, and Wright of Guelph, spoke,—thoir platform piactically being an irredeemable paper currency. Tho advocates of the scheme, however, changed the name of the Association from the “Cur- rency-Reform League ” to the “‘ Land, Labor, and Currency Reform League.” Some $25,000 has been returned to Toron- toans which the book-makers were unable to piace on the Hanlan-Triekett race. The pro- prietors are in a stew about having their money returned to them, not only without increase, but less the commissions, cost of exchange, and cabling. Speetal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Sanna, Dec. 11.—Efforts are being made to bring the claims of Sarnia before the Dominion Government, with a view to con- verting the bay into a harbor of refuge. The question will athe the attention of the town Council at ‘Spectal Pispatdh to The Chicago Tribune, Orrawa, Dec.:11.—The Postmaster Gen- eral has caused; Postmasters to be notified that the Canadian copyright of Lord Bea- consfield’s novel) “Endymion,” is held by Messrs. Dawson Bros., of Montreal; and that no American edition of the work can, there- fore, be legally iitroduced into this country. Any American reprints which may be dis- covered in mailsfrom the United States will, therefore, be sent to the Dead-Letter Office at Ottawa. Dr. Fortin says that the telegraph system of the Guif is nearly completed, and will be all finished by next July. He claims thatthe completion of the line to the Magdalen Islands hay already been the means of sav- ing one steamer, and of enabling two crews to be taken from the islands who would otherwise have had to pass the winter there, and would probably have suffered for wan! of prgciions. ts next ineeting. Speci to The Chicago Tribune. Montreat, Dec. 11.—In a circular, Mr. W. J. Spicer, Superintendent of the Grand Trunk Railway, earnestly recommends the employés to renew their pledges of total abstinence from strong drink. ‘A dispatch from Winnipeg states that the proprietor of the hotel at Edmonton, North- west Territories, has procured all the coal necessary for his use on the banks of the Saskatchewan, opposit thatplace. ‘The bank has three seams in sight. The upper one, which is thirty feet below the top ot the bank, is twenty inches thick. ‘(he next seain, eight feet below that, is tive feet thick, and is first-rate coal. The lower seam is thirty inches thick, and is guod coal. ————— IMPORTANT TO KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, The most notable success of the season's rivalry among local decorative artists to achleve something great has been attained by the Die- bold Safe and Lock Company, under the super vision of Mr. John W. Norris, Vice-President and General Agent of the Compauy. A safe has just been completed for the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of tho United States which in point of decoration alone is a marvol, without and within. The exterior doors bear, upona background of cream color, a painting of a Grand Commander in Holy Land trampling upon & Snracen standard-bearer, and elevuting the banner of the Cross. Behind him, led by the Captain-General, other Knights are charging. About this runs a broad border of olive green and gold, worked with most brilliant designs, and bearing in vignette notable Masonic em- biems. A passion vine in flower runs over this, producing un exceedingly rich effect. Opening now the ponderous doors, other paintings, equally exquisite, are revealed upon the inner side, all typical of a Mason's craft, while the second serics of doors in their turn surpasses the first in richness of design. The work is not only artistic in the highest degree, bnt is of peculiar finish, resembling enamel. This work of art will bo sent to its destination in_a few days, but will remain on exhibition at 57 State street, by Mr. Norris’ kind permission. until it is shipped to tha Grand Recorder of the Grand Encampment Knights Templar of the United States, for whom {t was especially made. —— GIFTS.
