'■■'[*'■'• -u\ Canada has been greatly undervalued by friends and foes. Many think of it as a country buried in snow. A little while ago when the President of the United States sent his bellicose message to the House of Representatives, the Americans boasted that they could take Canada any morning before breakfast. Their brag reminds one of the boy who was sent to set a hen. Being a long time gone his mother asked what detained him. He said that he had placed thirty- six eggs under the hen as he wished to g; ^ her a chance to spread herself. Was the President actuated by a similar desire for the Eagle's extension ? We are often reminded of the numbers that leave us for the United States. But we have lived to see many return, tired of grasshoppers, cyclones, blizzards and divorce courts. it^tmiiHntamtttf^H^jWfwn'jtit": When we consider our great Dominion with its majestic mountains, fertile prairies, grand lakes, magnificent rivers and inexhaustible mines, resources and possibilities, we have no hesitation in calling this the Greater Britain that is to be. Canada is forty times larger than Great Britain. You might roll England through Canada and not make a dent. Drop Ireland into one of our great lakes, and forever end "Home Rule." Lose Scotland in one of our forests and never know it was there unless the odor of its whiskey should betray its presence. Canada is bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean, east by the Atlantic, south by the United States, west by the Pacific. In 1790, the United States had in round numbers a population of 4,000,000. Canada at the same time 200,000. In 1891 Canada had reached 5,000,000 and the United States 61,000,000. In 1790, for every one person in Canada there were twenty in the United States; now for every one in Canada there are but twelve in the United States. At the World's Fair in Chicago, out of 150 awards given in dairy exhibits, Canada carried off 126, In fruit Canada was equally fortunate and won 96 awards out of 105 against the world. Canada exhibited a cheese at the same fair, of such colossal proportions that broke down the platform built for it by their most M^ ■■■ r :^%^^ CIt?r*****'XH^' 1 W >' »r» T— ^■ 'fr'V**— M*wft.«tgf»— WK» «mtj > n i!t||| w IMikMlfUH MM ; M ■; 0' ■m ,VV'-; V ' skilled artisans. Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, containing an area of 3,600,000 square miles, and is about one-thirteenth of the land on the surface of the globe. Larger than Australia, nearly as large as the whole of Europe, and exceeds the United States in size by 127,000 square miles, and has as much fertile territory. It stretches 3,500 miles in one direction and 1,400 in the other. One of the lakes of Canada (Lake Superior) covers an area of 32,000 square miles, being 400 miles long, almost equal to the size of Ireland, and is the largest body of fresh water on the globe. This lake, with Huron, Erie, Ontario (unsalted s^as), with the noble River St. Lawrence, forms unbroken communication for 2,140 miles. Canada has also a great coast line both on the Atlantic and Pacific. This is pierced by inlets, bays, and some of the finest harbors on the globe. Her fisheries are among the richest in the world, and double the annual value of the United States fisheries, and nearly equal to the rest of the British Empire, and is a source of great wealth and is well worth protecting. Our forests are very valuable, containing sixty-nine varieties of wood. The exports of the products of the forest was in one year $21,000,000. An Englishman once remarked to me, " You have no coal mines in Canada to compare with those of iiniiw#»««<£lW".f»'T?'RISf^4f"t'«lW"m'' ■< , \ ' ' 1 .'' ' 1 1 ■x^vr: ■^.m ~ . 'M ■.' '. P?

At Confederation 2,400 ; now the Dominion boasts of over 12,000 miles valued at StJ25,0O0,0OO. In 1868 we possessed 8,600 miles of telegraph, now 50,000 — 16,000 miles of telephone wires with 7,292 post-offices. We have 660 regular publications, newspapers and magazines, 70 of which are daily papers, so that the world to-day in miniature is laid upon our breakfast table througli the agency of the printing press. Our school system is the best in the world, as is proved in the intelligence of our people. The late Rev. Br. Ryerson travelled through England, Germany and the United States and studied the schools of these countries as he saw them in operation. He then amal- gamated their excellent qualitieo, and gave us the best system in existence. In 1868, the total trade was $131,000,000 ; in 1883, it had grown to $230,000,- 000, an increase of $100,000,000 or an average of nearly $7,000,000 a year. Of our public works we need not be ashamed. The Canadian Pacific Railway, stretching from ocean to ocean, binds in one the different provinces of this great Confederation, and is the longest railway in the world; it is the most stupendous enterprise ever undertaken and success- fully accomplished by any country of the population 2* Brif»Wiw'w»»«n«w!Tn?!f»r"Offfl "'»»tr!WM!n.n'';*«it!M.^^'T ' sr*ft»T' Biographical SIcetch of Hon.

McPuntsoN, Clark, Gampbblii & Jarvis, Bakristbrs, Solicitors, &o., Officks : 27 Wkllinoton St. East, Toronto, Feb. 16th, 1897. To tchom it may concern: Referring to the lecture delivered by Rev. C. E. Perry, entitled "Canada: the Greater Britain," I have much pleasure in saying that I have presided over a meeting when this lecture was delivered, and know that Mr. Perry is a powerful and effective speaker, well versed in the subject-matter of his lecture, and able to deliver it in a manner which is singularly well appreciated by his audience. In my judgment a lecture on this subject, by Mr. Perry, is a high intellectual treat, and worthy of the patronage of all loyal citizens of Canada. Yours truly, w. D. Mcpherson, Cov/nty Master, Toronto. 23 Toronto Street, Toronto, February 11th, 1897. To whom it may concern: I cheerfully testify to the eminent ability of the Rev. Chas. E. Perry, now pastor of tho Mimico Methodist Church. It has been my ^ood pleasure to hear him frequently during the past few years in his capacity as a public speaker, whose originalitv, ready humor, forcible arguments and pleasing manners meet with general appro- bation and admiration. He is a true Canadian to the core, and never fails to impress upon his hearers the importance of those elements of character that tend to develop true manhood. Yours truly, J. W. ST.
