RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
LONDON Aug. 26.-The Times, on the desire
of the United States to negotiate reciprocity
treaty with Canada on the basis Of the econ
omical doctrines prevalent in the Union, says
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 to assent to the proposal, is most doubt
full. The mind of Canada be freely ex-
pressed in the parliament sof 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 was the result of
it, but the prospects of the scheme are at least
doubtful. When the subject raised some
four years since the Dominion government
protested they would never listen to any sug
Restion for the admission of manufacturers of
those of the United Kingdom, and we have no
reason to suppose any change of sentiment has
since been developed.

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 on having changed the opinion
they held in 1867 in favor of demonstration of
silver
