Ely, Of New York, indicated the points Of q
speech. On the 26th Of March he had the honor
| to move q resolution which was adopted by this
| House but TO which no response has as yet been
/ received. calling on the President Of the United
States for information relative TO the practical
working Of the treaty concluded with Great Brit.
| ain on the 9th Of June, 1854, commonly called
| the Reciprocity Treaty. 1t was, he said, com
mended to US under the glittering guise Of free
trade measure, and was chTistened with the name
of reciprocity to delude US with the idea that II
was TO confer mutual and reciprocal tayors upon
| the peOpIe of both countries. The advocates OF
that UtOPean theory, universal tree trade, were
led to believe that It was at least an important
step in that direction, and that the mutual bene-
fits and blessings TO flow from II would vindicate
| the practical wisdom of that theory
The important feature of the treaty, that which
gives il the title Of reciprocity, is the third artl
| Gle which provides that certain enumerated aru-
cles, beiug the growth or produce Of the British
Colonies of North America, or Of the United
States shall be admitted into each country re-
spectiYely free of duty, but a glance over the
schedule shows there can be no reciprocity In the
arrangement
It appears to have been prepared with special ref
erence including every article OF Canadian produc-
tion which can ever hnd market in this country
and excluding every production Of this country
which could lind market in the Brltlsh NOrth
American colonies. We purchase from Canada more
Of the articles embraced in the schedule than she
sells to all the world besides To Canada the priv
liege Of exporting the United States Tree OF duty
the articles embraced in the schedule is one OF 1neai-
culable value. It is all she could ask or DESIRE loI
the schedule embraces everything she has TO export
70 US the privilege Of exporting the same articles
duty free, to Canada, is but the barren privilege o.
/ carrying Goals to New Castle.
