Among the views taken in England the late treaty
between this country and Eng d is the very important
that political effect must be to unsettle and disturb
all existing treaties with other nations, and TO render
gatory the protective and descrminaive system Of Eng
land regard those articles constituting the produce
of the district ceded to the United States The third art
Gle treaty provides that the and agricultural
produce of the district shall he admitted
into New Brunswick duty Free and that such produce
shall be dealt with the produce of the said provincs
This in relation to the district in question is in CON-
mercial point of view unimportant but is contended
that the treaty not between districts between the
United States and Great Britain and taken broad
sense provides that certain goduce of the u States
shall be admitted into the territory of Great Britain duty
free. Nearly all the existing treaties between Great Br
tain and foreign countries provide that produce Of the
respective countries shall be admitted on the same terms

the timber, talow, wheat hides, SC. of the countries
OF the North of Europe admissible the
those of Maineviz: the produce of New Brunswick
England herself opened the door to this construction
her dispute with Naples. The latter granted a sulphur
monopoly to certain Frenchmen. England declared this
a violation of the treaty, because France received
benefits not equally enjoyed by England II such
sructon is persisted in, the timber and trade Is
thrown open to the northern countries of Europe.
The export trade of England as indicated by the
changes, presented no symptom of permanent revival
The decreased imports of little favorable but
the operations of tariffs crushing
the remaining trade of the English exporters of manuac
tured goods. The French ordinance of June %, i'm
posing duty upon English linen thread its effect
very serious. The imports from England entirely
suppressed, and nearly all the thread entered came
through Belgium, that country having allowance in
her favor, paying francs only where England pays
francs The import of thread INFO France for August
as compared with July, was as follows =
Import OF linen thread in July, kilos 1872 900
August, 4l3 949

In addition, it may be stated that nearly all the impos
remained in bond This is serious blow at the English
linen spinners while the woollen trade has received
more severe blow in the German tariff. The Con.
gress of the German Commercial League, held at stutt
gard, have greatly augmented the duties all English
worsted worsted and cotton goods that is say they
are to pay $50 per cwt instead the present duty $40 per
cwt which amounts to prohibition two-thrds of all
the worsted goods exported from England to Ger
many This is al alarming prospect, and taken into con-
nection with the late revenue returns is still more So
That return shows deficiency of 10000 for the quar-.
ter notwithstanding that f3la s44 derived from the
