and bread, with all the accessory products that
belong to the main supports of life.  Gold, 
silver, coal, iron, fruits, wool, tropical 
products, timber, can all create wealth and 
population. But these by themselves are not 
comparable, for the up-building of a hardy 
race, to a deep rich soil in a bracing climate,
where both the essentials of a local subsistence
and food products that the outer world must 
have are grown at the door over thousands of 
square miles. The long cold winter, so severe
on the ill-protected earlier settlers, is now
felt to be, no more inconvenient than that of 
old Canada. Some, indeed, prefer it as steadier
and brighter, while a generation born and grown
to man's estate in the country have proved its 
qualities for producing healthy men and women. 
The old doubts, which were very widespread and 
very natural, have long been forgotten.
