Mr.. HATCHs REPORT on the Reciprocity
question excites, as might be expected, much
displeasure in Canada. The Toronto Globe
characterizes it as San uncandid, illiberal and
unfair document-written for local mar
ket." Referring to Mr.. Hatch's statement
that our government has collected 81 900 900
a year in greenbacks upon goods imported
from Canada since the abolition of Reel
procity, while but a small sum was collected
before, and his somewhat hasty inference
that we have profited largely by this new
state of things because the country gets sew
en- millions of revenue without losing the
traqe of Canada, the Globe says: ..
1t is true that the diversion of trade since
the abrogation of the Treaty has been slow,
because of the exceptionally high prices in
the United States; but it is also true that
the American consumers have paid nearly
all the seven millions of revenue collected
yearly.
The Globe adds:
Mr.. Hatch does indeed, conclude his
scolding essay with most ungracous ad-
mission, that a treaty might be made
which would suit him. But we can assure
him that treaty which would suit him
would suit nobody on this side OF the line.
Until more liberal men than he take up the
question of reciprocity, nothing will be ac-
complished

old and New Methods of Centralizing
Trade-Railroad VS.. Cart ROnd.

From the Y. Herald of Jan. 18th. >,
When the discovery was made tnat ran ran
road could transport ton of goods for one anu
a half cents per mile, while the cost py @ con-
mon cart road was and is about niteen genus
per ton per mile, it was fact tna5 'urneo Oh
ideas upside down and set the "oriu IN Ihoeion.
IT started looms into new action; 1T enhanced
the yalue of land throughout the country; it
set the farmer to produclDg; 1t created sup
Di;es which demanded exchanges; it made
peonle acquainted with each other and broke
down old notions and jealouses. Distance
ceased 20 have effect upon commercial honesty,
and exchanges became rapid and certain. Just
in proportion to the cost of railway transport
alton to that upon common road was our
Continent compressed, so tar as immediate
cost is concerned; but in breaking down dis
tances the saving has been far greater. A ton
OF freight goes rapidly upon a cart road if it
averages twenty miles per day. Upon rail-
road it may easily average four hundred miles
per day-that is to say, twenty times the speed
of the olden time.
If, now, we apply these facts we find that in
time and freightng purposes our Continent Is
about eight days wide. Eight days of good
cart road in old times was one hundred and
sixty miles. Under the best circumstances
the distance could not be greater. Here. tnnlS ,,
