A Canadian Broadside.
Apropos of the new American tariff, Mr Douglas Sladen haa written the following verses, which have been largely reprinted all over Canada:— [Extemporised for Major M'Kinlby to the air of 'Maryland ! my Maryland.'] A glorious future waits for you, Canada ! our Canada ! If to yourself you are but true, Canada ! our Canada ! And let not reciprocity, Like Esau's Mess of Pottage, buy Your birthright and your liberty, Canada 1 our Canada 1 I see a nation great and free, Canada 1 our Canada 1 Next to England on the sea, Canada 1 our Canada ! I see great ships on every breeze Bearing the wealth of Eastern teas To pile it on Vancouver's quays, Canad* 1 onr Canada ! Though foreign jealousy and greed, Canada 1 our Canada ! Have on your labor war deoreed, r-. • Canada ! our Canada ! Though (torn Columbia's borders hurled, You'll find fresh ports in all the world, Where'er the Good Bed Flag's unfurled, Canada! our Canada ! The nerve which won the appalling day, Canada 1 our Canada ! At Chrystler's Farm and Ohateauguay, Canada 1 our Canada! Will steel tou for the swordless war, As in the fighting days of yore Serene in battle's loudest roar, Canada 1 our Canada Gnothi SiaotonJ look within, ' Canada} our Canada 1 Learn your own greatness, seek your kin,' Canada I our Canada ! Land of the wheat-field and the pine, You have no need to play the vine, And round an alien trunk entwineArise, and a true nation shine, Canada! our Canada!
