The argument against the renewal of a
reciprocity treaty with Canada is seldom
stated with more simplicity or tersenesS
than in the following paragraph from the
Boston Adrertiser: I'VE do not think the
treaty of 1854 was of mutual advantage to
the United States and the colonies, and we
are unable to see what we could gain in the
way of a market by reviying it. There were
fifty-two articles and classes of articles
which were made reeiprocally free of duty
by the treaty of 1854. OF these Canada now
admits thirty-seven articles and classes free,
without treaty. What are the remaining
articles? The following is list Animals,
butter, cheese, lard, meats, poultry ,tallow.
fruits, plants, rice, seeds, shrubs, trees,
vegetables, products of fish, fish oil These,
with the exception of fruits and vegetabl
we are not in the way of selling to Canada,
as she mas in general more to sell than she
needs to buy. Fish and fish products. we
may add, are made reciprocally free by the
treaty of Washington. so that there is no
occasion for US to make treaty on account
OF that trade. Let Canada propose TO put
cotton, wOOllen and iron goods into reel
procity treaty and it Will then be worth con-
sidering but a long As she confines herself
to articles of which she produces an excess
and of which she needs none from us. the
arrangement is liable to be thought
one-sided."
