RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH CANADA.
The question of renewing a treaty for
reciprocal trade between the United States
and the British provinces on this continent
has not been favOrably considered by the
administration. The advantage of such a
treaty would be wholly in favor of the Brit
ish producer, except possibly a few engag-
ed in the trade between the two sections.
No citizen of the United States would be
benefited by the reciprocity. Our intern
al taxation would prove protection to the
British producer almost equal to the pro-
lection which our manufacturers now re-
ceive from the tariff. Some arrangement
however, for the regulation of commercial
intercourse between the United States and
the Dominion of Canada may be desirable

and agents of the government to have all
public work done at eight hours per day
this is understood not to interfere with
private work, but the object is to make the
government set the example by establish
ing the principle that eight hours day is
labor enough for the mechanics and labor
ers of the country. They contend that
once the States and the United States shall
have adopted the system, the people will
carry it out among themselves. General
Winn, the chairman, will remain here un
til congress has determined what they will
do. In the meantime he will correspond
with the labor associations in the different
States of the Union.
The State of California has an eight hour
law which requires all public work to be
done at eight hours day, and fixed eight
hours as the legal day on private work, but
it provides that 'it shall not extend to ag-
ricultural, vine culture or horticultural la
bor or to the services of household or do
nestle servants" With these exceptions
in the law of each State, there can be but
very little objection if it is not carried too
far. There is seed time and harvest, and
no league or association, nine tenths Of
whom cannot distinguish wheat from rye,
should control the farmer in his legitimate
pursuits. LIFE.
