of enualffv with the inhab tafts OF the Dominion.
and TO also secure to the subjects OF Great
Britain the use Of the St. Clair flats canaa
| on terms OF equality with the inhaoi'sh's

| inhabitants of the Dominion which we wers
promised in the use OF the canals OF Canada
| did not secure us freedom from tolls In
| theft navigation, but we had a right 10 ex'
| meet that We being Americans and interested
| in American commerce, would be moro
| burdened IN regard TO the same than
| Gan h-dnns engaged in the same trade;
| and the whole spirit OF the concession

disc and property transported TO an American

| HANGED in its cost by tolls many tines hiehcr

! and consumers, as well as vesselowners, "o'o
to enjoy the equality promised.
| "And vet evidence has for some time been
before Congress showing that while the tolls
charged in the first instance are the same to all
| such vessels and cargoes as are destined 10 ceri
| tain Canadian ports are allowed refund Oh
,early the entire tolls, while those bound for
