Canada Reciprocity.
While Congress is silent on the subject OF rcci-
procity. the new Dominion Parliament is active
enough. In u recent debate. Sir Francis Hincks
remarked that n movement had commenced in the
United States in favor of reciprocity. lie did not
despair of seeing steps taken which would lead 10
a new treaty. Mr.. Cameron was for a retaliatory
policy on the ground that the Americans bad All
the benefits of free trade with Canada. while Canada
had a restricted trade TO contcnu with. He said
Canada had now arrived at a pe.iod when il was
high time for the Government 10 adopt a policy on
this question. and that the policy, in his opinion.
should be the policy of a tariff based upon the
national interests OF Canada, a policy of %indcpend-
cnce on the subject of free trade. Mr.. Wood, the
Treasurer of Ontario. said he believed that prov
ince was unanimously in favor Of n revision OF the
tariff. Mr.. Howe remarked that the maritime
provinces were almost wholly in favor OF free trade
with the United States. and that the fiscal relations
with the United States. were ordered almost en-
tirely with a view to political purposes. What the
Dominion wanted was a policy which would apply
TO the trade of the world, and not merely 10 that Of
the Yankees. Mr.. Pope said il was "A delusion that
the course of the United States strengthened the
feeling in favor of annexation. II was separating
the two peoples and building mp an antagonism OF
interests. The fact is that Canada needs something,
il hardly knows what, Confederation or independ-
ence are not remedies. Neither gives expansion.
Annexation would surely do it by making Canada
part of the great system whose vigor and value are
shown in the enormous development Of this country.
