(AMDUN ANMlXlTiu.V The perennial talk continues about the an nexation of Canada to the United Stutcs talk always confined to the other side of the horJcr, for the mntttr attracts but little in terest on this side. In a recent paper on the suhject a Canadian, Mr. Bender, shows some facts which places it in a light somewhat In teresting, lie refcis specially to three points t Tiic grow th of the Dominion debt ; the coustant stream of emigration from Can ada southward, with the consequent almost stationary numbers uf the population, in spllo of govcinment.aidcd immigration and the conocosltion ,of the Dominion popula lions. As to the financial point, at the closo of our last war the idea of annexation was ridiculed on Ihe ground that no Canadian would be willing tn throw in his lot with a country f tremendously burdened with dtht as was the United States. Since then, while tills country has been steadily paying off its debt at a rate unparalleled in his. tory, Ihe government expenditures In the Borlh havo just as steadily been in ex cess of Income. In 1609 the disburse ments for ull Dominion purposes were 813, 087,(128. In 1882 they had risen to$31,810,. 000, w bilo the population had only Increased from 8,503,201 In the former year to 4,418, 714 In the latter, the jxr taplta taxation hav ing ilsen In the same period from $4.07 to $7.02. The debt has grown also with like alarming rapidity. In 1807, at the time of the confederation, Ihe gross debt of the country was $03,010,031, while In 1331 it had ilsen to 4191, 801, C37, and still it con tinues to increase. Mr. Hcndir answers the ohjectiou that Cauudians picfer living under a small debt by pointing out the fact thut they are continually annexing themselves lo tbo Luited States as Individuals through emigration to Ihe luHer country. A quarter of a million French Canudians have, duilng the last three cr four yearn, settled in tho Stales and crowds are weekly leaving Ihe Provincts lo join them, notwithstanding the bathetic a peals ot their clergy. "Tliti," says Mr. Jtidei,"is not u cheetlng outlook Both the Pi emit and the IrUh In Cunada seem to he anxious to settle in the United States, and the latter, numbering one.fourth of Ihe totnl population, would, without doubt, gladly vute for general annexation sUjtild liie opportunity be afforded them. Mr liendcr thinks Ibat there is a growing desire fur annexation on tbc part ot n large proportion of the Inhabit ants of the Dominion, and he goes so far as tohnzaid thu prediction that Ihe present gc-rc ration will see the chinge effected. A sing nr fact is Hut one of the effort! of the Dominion (lovernment especially designed to p'aculc Ihe growing elisc-ontent lias had the tilctl of Increasing It. The prostctillon of great railway enterprlfes, under Govern went countenance and with government aid, lus Increased the (ti bl mj largely that the people have become frightened al tho re. sensibilities thrust on them ; and the fact that these railroad enterprises have been sub. sldlzed extravagnntly, the subsidies, mostly in hnd, having on" 'u ceitain Iloglish aristocratic spri ulatori1, I. as oddnl no httlu to the feeling of uneasiness.
