RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
LONDON, Aug. 26.--The Times, on the desire
of the United States to negotiate reciprocity
treaty with Canada the basis of the econ
omical doctrines prevalent in the Union, saws ::
Canada is within the operation of England's
commercial treaties and could not establish re-
ciprocity with the United States without trans
crossing the most favored native clause in these
treaties. The Times concludes as follows:
Whether apart from the question of our treaty
obligations, there would be any disposition in
Canada o assent to the proposal, is most doubt
ful. The mind of Canada can be freely ex-
pressed in the parliament .of the
dominion and we are willing to abide
by its free declarations. There
is no disposition to fetter Canadian liberty of
action, even if the establishment of custom
union with the United States the result of
it, but the prospects of the scheme are at least
doubtful. When the subject was raised some
four years since the Dominion government
protested they would never listen to any sug-
gestion for the admission of manufacturers of
the United States more favored terms than
those OF the United Kingdom, and we have
reason to suppose any change of sentiment has
since been developed.
MONETARY CONFERENCE.
PARIS, Aug. 26.--The monetary conference is
expected to terminate Wednesday. The dele
gates will dine at Elysee Tuesday. At the sit
ting to-day Groesbeck urged the resumption of
free mintage OF silver on the ground that cir
cumstances have greatly altered till it's sus.
pension by the Latin Union in Ger
many. the stock is greatly reduced and
representative contended that if the Latin
union had not suspended free mintage of silver
the countries composing it would have been
deluged by demonetized German stocks. He
also feared the Nevada and South American
supply might increase the Belgian representa-
tive, pointed out the impossibility Of
fixing the value of silver by litigation.
LIE Combe, of the English delegation, pointed
out that silver was liable to great fluctuations,
and these might be aggravated by changes in
currency and the laws of various countries. No
resolution of Congress, he said, could effectively
lessen this evil, as every government would study
only Its national interests. Horton, of the
American delegation, congratulated England
and France having changed the opinion
they held in 1867 in favor of demonstration of
silver.
