Anton B. Evans editor of The Economist and Western editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger notes in a Philadelphia Public Ledger article that Canada’s growth stems from government initiative and rail and river networks. He cites Canada’s vast deposits, wheat on the fifty ninth parallel, and Alberta’s mineral wealth, arguing U S capital will flow and Chicago will benefit from a shift toward expansion and cheap land. He sees strong ties with American banking and travel, and predicts healthy competition with the United States as Canada grows.
