The Dominion Illustrated PDF Download

Excerpt from Dominion Illustrated, Vol. 3: A Canadian Pictorial Weekly; September 1889 The author of New America wrote more than twenty years ago some words which were not wanti ing in foresight. After taking a general survey of Uncle Sam's Estate, he went on to say that on this fine estate of land and water dwells a strange variety of races. No society in Europe can pretend to such wide contrasts in the type, in the colour, as are here observable; for while in France, in Germany, in England, we are all white men, deriving ourblood and lineage from a common Aryan stock, and having in our habits, languages and creeds, a certain bond of brotherhood, our friends in these United States, in addition to such pale varieties as the Saxon and Celt the Swabian and the Gaul, have also the Sioux, the Negro and the Tartar. White man, black man, red man yellow man, each has a custom of his own to follow, a genius of his own to prove, a conscience of his own to respect; custom which is not of kin, genius which is largely different and conscience which is fiercely hostile.
