THE RECIPROCITY Y TREATY WITH CANADA.

There seems be trouble frontier In rela

arises from the fact that government has been
deavoring to prevent the free admission of -four made in
Canada from American wheat. It appears that large
quantities of wheat sent to Canada from the West
be made into -four and which until recently has been ad
mtted into this country free BY the terms OF the treaty
we are toamt free all articles whchare thegrowth orpro

thus manufactured from wheat grown here product
of Canada have introduced it free and 1t appears to
the danger of the interests of own miers. large
portion OF the New England States, and part of
State which have heretofore been supplied with flour
manufactured within lines receive their sup
ply from the Canadian mers. AS government does
not regard flour thus made by the latter product
of Canada it has established line Of officers along
the frontier whose duty it is to exact certain fees from
the merchant exporting this kind of -four In regard to
this measure there appears to exist difference OF opin
ion The Oswego Times denounces it in strong terms and
the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says that it s oppress
i've and ii fully carried out must put end to
the treaty Those who oppose the cxacton OF these fees
contend that flour manufactured in Canada III product

Of duty prove this they say that prior to the treaty
all -four from Canada manufactured from American
wheat paid duty of 20 per cent, because 1t Cana

those who favor the say that in Interpreting the
terms Of the treaty should be governed by the
