Orr own experience nroves the truth Of This nronoson
In Is47 when we were eynoriing breadstns the prce Of
corn in New York the chief mort of exploration rose
and fell with the huctuation of prices in the British
market with as much certainty as the mercurial column
in the thermometer rises and falls with the variations of
external temperature This fact should relieve us from
all apprehenson as to the influence of this bill on coa1pe
ton with Canada in the production of wheat She NAV
send her flour to foreign mark.'s now either BY the
St Lawrence or through the United States in bond I'M
der the act OF 1916, allowing drawback of duties
certain cases 1t enters into competition with ours in
vantage in this respect except TO relieve her from custom
house orma,ies hold then that The wheat of Canada
can only have an influence on the price in the United
States in very extraordinary years not likely to occur
ia years of expectation bv competition with us in the
foreign market and that in the latter respect this inu-
ence is sensbly felt it would be under the pro-
visions OF this bill Taese considerations become the
more significant if be true, suppose that wheat
henceforth to be one of our regular exports
What them are the advantages 10 be expected from the
proposed free interchange OF producs The first is 10
relieve the inhabitants of both countries the frontier
from the inconvenience of the custom house in respect TO
necessaries of common production and daily use. The
next is, TO enable the Canadians export their produce
through the United States to foreign markets without
paving duty at the frontier and with deduction Of
and half per cent on The drawback at the place of ey
por,ation The custom-house ormaities seem to have
been great obstacle to the use of our canals and in
terna channels of communication 10 the Canadians
From December l. 1916, 10 Jrly 1917. we received
om all the British North American Provinces 92g
bushels OF gram of all kinds and no -four while we sent
