THE TRANSCRIPT.
ST. ALBANS.
Friday. Dec. ~. 1905.
Reciprocity.

The Canadian Government as well
as their leading merchants more par
ticularly engaged in the carrying
trade, are making strenuous exertions
to secure continuation OF the so
called Reciprocity treaty. A telegram
from Ottawa states that this subject is
engaging the earnest attention of the
Government, and that in the early
part Of January Il deputation will pro-
coed to Washington to continue nego-
tiations. The required notice for ter
minating this treaty was given by Mr.
Adams Minister to the Court of St
James, on the 18th day of March, 1865,
and according to the terms under
which the treaty went into operation,
either of the contracting parties could
close it by giving one years notice.
The reasons which lead our Congress
TO pass q resolution requesting the
President of the United States to give
tic notice, are the very reasons which
will doubtless operate in the minds Of
most Congressman in refusing con
tinunhon of the same Tho sympathy
OF the Canadian people had long been
suspected to be i'll opposition to the
Union and in favor of the South
Their Railroad managers had enter
tanned such arch-traitors as Vallan-
bingham and men of that type, because
OF their adhesion to the South. Their
influential people had extended the
hand OF hospitality to Southern ref
ugees coming to their territory and
honized them. Their people general
ly frowned upon the Northern people
aud excited their Southern friends to
commit acts of violence upon North
ern cities and villages; to strike down
our unoilending citizens by encourage
ing assassinations; to rob our banks
and prey upon our commerce by raids
from their borders and piratical YES
sells on the seas, and to commit null
ttude Of other offences as revolving to
humanity as they were barbarous in
their character.
They likewise assured them that if
they were not apprehended before
reaching their territory they should
be protected and they have strictly adj
hered to their promises. They have
discarded the simplest requirements
Of their treaties in refusing to comply
with them. This state of things con-
tinued until the 18th day of January
1865, just after Coursol released the
st. Adams raiders, and gave up the
money without cause, when Congress
took steps to close the treaty. The
blow will be severe one upon the
Canadas, but it has been brought
around by their own procurement and
folly. The treaty has never been Rec |
iprocity only in name. The Canadas
have grown rich out Of il and our con.
dition has not been materially bet
tered. The continuation Of this treaty
may be beneficial to the carrying
trade as we'll Us the Canadian people,
but it is at the expense of our farmers
and mechanics, rs it has the undoubt-
ed effect to lessen the price Of their
products and increase their taxes. Be
sides this it is little unbecoming the
Canadian people to ask this when q
demand has been made upon them for
the money they have stolen from us
and they have not responded to it.
