MsEures Hides Unm.n' saet'd Tobacco.
Ores OF Metals all kids Fur-.
We beg our readers to examine carefully this list
and determine if more one-sided reciprocity was
ever imagined. OF the whole there are but three
articles with which we can supply Canada-Rce,
Cotton and Unmanufactured Tobacco. OF the first
the quantity that be required is so small that it
might be doubted if all the profit to the rice-growing
States in half century would pay the salary Of Mr.
Marcy for the time occupied in negotiating the treaty
OF the second, the provinces require none, and all
the duty that will be saved on the third is trng to
degree that renders it totally unworthy of cOnsd
Grafton. Manufactured Tobacco, Manufactures of
CsttOR Wool and Iron, Clocks and thousands of
other commodities are to continue to pay duty; but
all the commodities that the Provinces hare to sell
in free.
That our agricultural readers may understand
little how this is TO work, we give them the follow
ing paragraph from The Buffalo Democracy recon-
mendipg it to their careful consideration:
1.-THE wheat crop of Upper Canada will far exceed that
of any other year in its amount. Ii is estimated that
third more sown last year than the year before and
il all looks hourishng. The surplus last year estimated
600 600 bushels This year II is calculated the surplus
will reech 70 600 900 bushels Estimating the yrce
only 81 20 per bush it gives the farmers as $50 900 for
wheat alone, for foreign market Ii the reciprocity
they present promise TO do, that surplus will mostly
be marketed in New York. And if 49, it will make
bowling among American farmers
1t is not however, among the farmers alone that
the "howliDg" will be- In striking at them this
measure strikes at the great interest which lies at
the base of our whole system. 1t is, as we think
properly described hole at the bottom Of the
dam, through which the water or the gold, will run
with great rapidity; and when it shall have been
made the roadmakers who are now seeking 10 con-
tract loans 10 purchase iron engines credit to
sell bonds, will, think have leare TO withdraw their
applications until after the next revusion and after
there shall have been change in the policy of the
Government. The " bowling" will not, however,
as We think, be confined to the road makers. Our
merchants hayesold largely to men who have counted
upon paying for their goods out of the proceeds Of
bonds that were to be sold, and that cannot now be
sold, and never will be until We shall have arrested
the present enormous drain; but if instead of rails
ing the dam We continue 10 lower il, what chance,
We beg TO ask, is there that the bonds will ever be
sold, the roads ever be made or the debts ever be
paid Pass this treaty and there will be bowling
among the merchants who pay rents and the million
aires who receive them.
OF all the measures that have ever been nut forth
by the advocates OF the money lending nerest-that
interest which thriyes most whea all around are
being ruined-the one now proposed is the most
destructive, and will do most to arrest the progress
of these United States. 1t is peace.ohering 70 the
Provinces from the South to induce them to stay out
Of the Union, and not 10 ask TO contribute their
ators or their representatives the compe tion of the
American Congress. 1t is a total sacrifice of the
interests of the grsn-growng S,ates-such sacrifice
that were we to estimate it at the price We are now
asked to pay for Cuba-s hundred and fifty millions
OF dOllars-we should be far below the truth.
It's too, an absolute and unconditional sacrifice.
for We obtain nothing in return for which We have
not already largely overpad. The navigation of the
St. Lawrence is worth nothing and that the people
Of Canada well know. The trade on that river ia
steadily decreasing Eight years since the tonnage of
ships entering and clearing at Quebec and Montreal
averaged 6,25CoOO tuns, whereas in $50 and ISL,
it averaged but half million. The trade Of tho
