THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Is there not some danger that the discus
sion Of the Reciprocity Treaty will relapse
into n .one-sided aud prcjudiced opposition
Who arc the opponents OF the treaty at pres
enty First: Tie New England manufac-
turcrs, who think their wares should be NJ
lowed into Canada free OF duty. Second:
The railroad and canal interests Of New York,
who dislike the opposition to them caused
by the free navigation Of the st. Lawrence.
Third: The millers and perhaps farmers of
Western New York, who do not desire the
competition of Canadian mills and products.
Fourth: The lumbermen Of Maine, who hope
for increased prices by shutting ont the Cana-
dian timber. Fifth. High tariff people gen
orally. The original aim Of the treaty was
not, however, to realize revenue. On the
contrary, it was to promote enlarged trade
and commerce between the two countries.
Has 1t done that? Take the figures of the
past and present and see If it haa. The sub
Joined statement shows the trade Of the
United States with Canada and the other
British North American Possessions for six
years before and six years after that in which

failed to make reciprocal Interchange of

gears Of the existence Of the treaty. There
is one unanswcrable argument for the treaty,

the opponents of the treaty claim that
it should permit all our manufactures into
Canada free Of duty, or at least that the Can.
adas should not increase their scale of customs
duties. But Is this charge that can be fairly
maintatneds The Canadas do not Impose
duties On our goods that they do not also i'm
pose upon those Of Great Britain OF other
countries. Can we expect that they should
discriminate in favor Of our manufactured

Besides, the Canadian Government must raise
revenne, and what way more easy or more
equitable than to- tax imports We raise our
own revenue In this way. Why not they
theirs? To close: The treaty, as I remarked
ina previous letter, has been the means Of
turning "a large amount of Canadian trade
from England to the United st.tes. Its ab-
rogation would certainly have the contrary
effect, especially IS the Canadians, IN that
event, would seek to extend their railway
system to Halifax, which would withdraw an
immense amount Of passenger and gosds
traffic from Portland, Boston and New York
The British Government would bo very glad
to see the treaty abrogated by US on that &C.

Recently Gen. Sherman found the rebel
forces opposite him retaining their artillery
fire for several days, and no amount Of artl-
lery practice from our side sufficed to draw
on the rebel gunners Sherman was of the
opinion that the rebel artillery was there, bat
that Johnston OF Ewell was tempting him to
make an assault, and had secretly massed his
guns 10 infict murderous repu!se. How 60
discover where the rebel guns were placed
was now the question. All other efforts
failing, Sherman at last uncovered the rebel
batteries by the help Of an ingenious praeti.
cal joke. The railroad track stretched pest
part of our front, and down close to the
rebel line, which it skirted for some distance
Sherman started locomotive down the track
at full speed, towards the right. They heard
its shrill shrek, saw IL with amazement come
tearing down towards their breastworks, and
suspecting, they did not know what trick, q,
last. unable to hold in any longer. blazed
away with their whole line of batteries at the
mysterious monster. That was all Sherman
wanted
A careful estimate makes Gen Sherman
losses in killed and wounded, in his Georgia
campaign, thus far, about 900. The rebel
losses are fully equal to ours. Our loss in
prisoners, however, falls far under those Of
the rebels, and may be safely placed at 500
while their loss IN prisoners up to the 23d
ult. was nearly 5000. Thus far we have lost
no cannon that we did not recapture, while
the rebels have certainly lost twenty-three
pieces OF artillery, and of curse large nun.

experienced in foundries, workshops, NC.
