It reports having received nine hundred and ten answers against the idea and two hundred and ten in favor of it.

Total 210 Total 700 It Will be noticed at once that the Farm and Home, whicn received a large number of replies from Nova Scotia, did not apparently receive a single reply from New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island. There are a good many answers trom Ontario, but none from Manitoba. Do the people of the provinces take absolutely no m- terest in the question, or are the Farm and Home's subscribers strictly con- fined to the three Provinces mention- ed The strangest feature about the table however is, the comparative votes of the Province of Ontario and Nova Scotia upon the question. A Canadian would have expected a much greater proportion of the replies from Nova Scotia to be favorable to an- nexation, and a much greater pro- portion of the Ontario votes to be un- favorable. Nova Scotia at the last Provincial election returned a majority of avowed secessionists to the Legis- lature, and the object of secession was to get rid of the traiflf, thus guaran- teeing a profitable trade with the United States. The explanation may be. however, that Nova Scotians, who are in favor of secession from the Do- muiiob are anxious to disda^ diS' loyalty to Great Britain, wMch was imputed to them. On tbe other hand the people of Ontario, who are snppoti- ed to be in favor of Commercial Union with the United States, might be ex- pected to be as decided in their denials of a feeling in favor of annexation as the fanhers if Nova Scotia who aze secessionistB. The Farm and Ham* quotes one Ontario farmer, who says that he is not in favor of annexation butthat he.isJnfikvor of commeroial union, axidoUiers who are ^poaed to poIitMHtl miion, bat are in favor of reciprocity.
