It is estimated by those who are in a position to know. and I think with reasonable accuracy. that at least one hundred and thirty or one hundred and forty thousand of our citizens will this year leave the United States and reject the allegiance of this Republic to become citizens of the Dominion of Canada. It is difficult to determine what amount of wealth these people carry with them into the Dominion. but in view of the purpose for which they go and the investments which they make after they arrive itis safe to say that the amount of capital thus taken out of this country and Into the Dominion runs up into the millions. Though we could afford to lose. without any considerable injury. the wealth which ig thus taken out of the country. we can ill afford to lose the class of citizens who are constantly emigrating from the United States into the Dominion. They are of the very best class of citizens. they are home seekers. they are home builders. they are developers of the resources of their country wherever they are. A willingness to leave your own country. friends. and neighbors and take up new associations in a strange country must have some powerful reason back of it.
Identified stereotypes
The paragraph generalizes that those leaving for Canada are the "very best class of citizens" who are "home seekers" and "home builders."
