Discussion Concerning Commercial Re
IaIiOns with the United States.


OTTAWA, Jan t9.--At meeting OF the Do
minlon board of trade, Mr., Smith of St. John,
n b., spoke on the question of the injustice
done Canada by the government of the United
States in excessive consular fees and custom
charges which Canadian products are subject to
upon entry at United States ports. AT st. John
the exports amount TO about Sc, 600. 900 annually
while the imports are Sj,000,000. The com
plants were that the matter was one of great in
convenience and of great cost. The incon-
yenence was the necessity of making a double
entry; the cost amounted to about $3.50 on each
such entry. Merchants even then would not
complain so much ii the entry amounted to
anything when made, but consulS' certificates,
when presented TO custom house officials, were
not worth the paper on which they were writ
ten. They felt that they were compelled 10
submit to injustice.
Mr.. Hazard, of Buffalo, explained that con-
sus' certificate must, of necessity accompany all
invoices coming into custom officers hands, no
matter what port orfrom what country
Hon. John Young thought some reciprocal ar
rangcments should be adopted. He was not
aware that the relations between the two coun.
tries we've different from that between the
Untcd States and other countries. He thought
1t unadvlsable TO bring this matter before the
government at the present time.
Mr.. Smith, alter few remarks, Withdrew the
resolution.
Trade relations with the United States came
up. Mr.. Young opened the discussion, adyocat-
Ing zoverein, which was opposed by Messrs.
Rowland, Wilkes, FOybruter, and Others
Mr.. Rowland explained the position taken by
the Dominion delegates at ST. Louis. He said
the feeling Of the national board was to give re-
ciprocal trade only on their own conditions,
with the evident intention of forcing Canada
nto annexation.
MesSrs. Lever and Hazard, American dele
gates, commended that tue commercial men of
the United States did not want annexation. II
was less spoken of in tue United States than in
Canada.
Mr.. Hazard stated that a zollveren would
meet strong opposition from lumber, coal aud
salt monopolies Beside, there were political
obstacles TO lis adoption, but the Americans were
open to commercial intercourse, and, upon any
fair terms, would meet the Canadians half way.
The debate resulted in a resolution to appoint
delegation from the Dominion board, to meet
the executive committee of the national board at
Washington.
A recent resolution, con lemning a zollverein,
but expressing equal willingness to negotiate
Tor the purpose OF relieving trade between the
two countries from restrict tons, was offered.
Both were unanimously passed.
