Port Hope people who went to the United States
(1889)

The following article was taken from the 05 Jul 1889 issue of the Port Hope Weekly Guide.

Our Wandering Boys

The Export of Blood, Brains and Bones
A Partial List of Our Young Men Who Have Gone to Better their Condition in Uncle Sam's Domain

(Revised and corrected)
The Restrictionists tell us that it is not the proper thing for us to export our surplus produce to the United States; that as loyal citizens we ought to deal exclusively with the Mother-land. Be that as it may, we are exporting to the States the very life's blood of this Canada of ours, viz, our young men.

We are indebted to Mr. Jos. Hooper, for the following list of natives of this town and its immediate vicinity, who have left Port Hope and taken up their residence in the United States.

Why is this thus? We await an answer.
