Excerpt from The British American Federation a Necessity, Its Industrial Policy Also a Necessity For the last six years, the farmer of Canada has been entirely supported by American money, which e gets under the Reciprocity Treaty with the U. S. In this I would ask, a itiou for a British colony to be in? Artics out of America reading this, may ask - why the United States market for wheat is better than the Canadian? Ian swer, because there is a manufacturing population there. And no more prac tically loyal politics therefore, were ever held than mine, viz: to attract a manufacturing population, and, as a consequence, that same market for the farm er of Canada amongst ourselves which we value as the peculiar advan tags which the United States have over Canada. But for American money how ever (which in 1846 we had no reason to expect, even if there were now every certainty of the cantinuance of the Re ciprocity Treaty - the channel through which it ¿ows to us) we should have found ourselves as a Colony, in the dis astrous circumstances, political and otherwise, pointed out by Lord Cath cart, our then Governor General, in the following Despatch, of 28th J anu ary, 1846, .to the British Ministry.
