THE PROPOSED cANADIAS rRkATA

27th states that the Times, on the
desire of the United States to negotiate
a reciprocity treaty with Canada on
the basis Of the economical doctrines
prevalent in the union, says. Canada
is within the operation of England's
commercial treaties, and could not eS-
tablish reciprocity with the United
States without transgressing the most
favored nations clause in these
treaties" The Times concludes as fol-
lows: whether apart from the ques-
ton of our treaty obligations there
would he any disposition IN Canada to
assent to the proposals Is most
doubtful; the mind Of Canada
can be freely expressed in the
parliament of the Dominion, and we
are willing to abide by its free declara-
tons. There is no disposition to fetter
Canadian liberty Of action even if the
establishment Of a customs union with
the United States was the result of it;
but the prospects Of the scheme are at
best doubtful. When the subject was
raised some four years since, the Do
minion government protested they
would never listen to any suggestion
for the admission Of manufactures Of
the United States on more favored
terms than those of the United King
dom, and we have no reason to suppose
any change Of sentiment has since been
developed.

AMERICAN INVENTIONS All PARIS.
A London cablegram Of the 22nd inst.
says: The Times prints two columns
of descriptions OF the mechanical dis
play of the United States at the Paris
exhibition, and iii an editorial article
commenting thereupon, the Times says
the pre-eminence Of tile mechanical
genius Of the citizens Of The
United States may be admitted
and il illustrated, not for
the first time, in the exhibition in Paris.
The Times, after pretending to exhaust
the whole secret of the phenomena Of
the inventive genius across the Atlantic
finds reason therefor III the greater e.
ticiency of laborhere, and tie increased
cost and difficulty Of hiring il. The
condition or the Union is ali economic
society, drives its inhabitants towards
inventions, and there AZ elsewhere,
necessity may be said TO be the mother
of il.
