Appraiss Colby University yesterday was an oration deUvered by Benjamin i. Butler on the possibiUty, probabiJity and advantages of the anne».tKm of Canada. In the course of hw address the veteran orator said â€" « -*u The British possession in Worth America which the Dominion of Can- ada holds within its boundaries have an srea of 8,470,892 square miles, while the United Statesâ€" not includ- ing Alaska of which the limits are n«. knownâ€" has an area of 2,970,000 square mUes, if rising 500.000 square mUes less than Canada, aud her surrounding water contains quite one half of all the fresh water of the globe. Please hear this gieat fact in mind, for I repeat it is a foundation of the resources to make one of the greatest cations on earth. Canada had quite one-quarter more land fitted for wheat cultivation than has the whole United States. The average production of wheat per acre in the United States m the year 1887 was a little over 12 bushels, while in the same year in Manitoba, where we hardly realize there is aught to sup port life, the yield was 12,500,000 bushels, at an average of 27 bushels to the acre. You may ask and I will turn aside from the thread of my discussion, "Why should the land be better wheat- producing lands than those of the United States 7" Because the climate is colder in the winter and hotter in the summer. I will add that Canada has more timber of every possible de- scription than herself aud the United States can need in 100 years. She has more iron and coal in her borders than anv other country yet known in the world. She has more copper than any other country, if not all otherii. The northern shore of Lake Superior are more capable of the pro- dnction of that metal than the southern. The climatic advantages of Canada are that it is cold enough to compel everybody to work in order to Uve, and the land is fertile enough to give every man abundant returns for his labor. Hence results the wealth of the nation acd the enterprise of its people. Mr. Butler's scheme for Annexation was set forth as follows Negotiations should be approached with a view of uniting the two ad- jacent English speaking peoples lying side by side in America, in the same commercial and business con- ditions between each other, with or without a zoUvereign as may be de- termined, leaving Great Britain, whoRe institutions depend upon the same constitutional provisions, and whose laws of freedom give equal .protection to their several peoples, later on when her interests of safety demands, to come into like compact with the United States and Canada, a league against the world if any part of the world should see fit to take a stand, winch none would or could successfully do. â- !â€"â€"â-  «1M Sid OMt StlM M„„ ' The gil I love to think aboat Far mo)r« than any oUier Is thoughtfal, helpful, m and ont ';.
