The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1892-03-12

Here it is seen that while Great Britain
has lost nearly 5000, 900 of her annual
sales to her greatest dependency, the
| nlted states, her greatest competitor,
has gained TO the extent of over -, ,00u,-
900 right in Great Brltain's own terri
tory. it is noticeable that since the
Harrison administration took Office the
sales to Canada have steadily increased
The sales of iron and steel and their
manufactures to Canada by the nited
States were very large, amounting to
s., SIS 900. against 81 ,6Sb, 81 from the
British Empire all over the world. Or
brass and its manufactures we bought
from the | nited States sos, 900, and
from the British Empire only $4,000.
OF the manufactures OF wood the nited
States sold us during the year 5000, ,0OG,
of which S215.3l7 was turniture of
clocks and watches, S4S7 900; copper
and manufactures of, S274ON0; cotton
and manufactures of, $S24 900. In cot
ton. hosiery towels aud handkerchiets
II seems strange that in this market the
| nited States should be completely out
bid by Great Britain, although in near
" ali other manufactures of cotton the
nited States does The bulk of the trade.
| The duty on these, as, indeed. on
all goods, is the same against
Great Britain as against the
nited States. OF fancy goods,
including feathers, toys, laces and orna-
ments, We purchased from the United
states S252, 900. and of glass and its man
ufaCtures 1886, 900. 1t is noticeable that
of common and ColorIess window glass
Belgium sold us S23s, 900, Great Britain
| $6l, 900 and the | nited States only
| ST 900. What the nited States was
| ,,.VE,, 81
were TASKS, vials. lamp cnimneys and
globes.
In headwear and caps - the
United States was beaten by Great
Britain, the figures being for the for
mer S43S 900 and for the latter SS3l 900.
of leather and It's manufactures the
United States sold us Stj10, 900, as against
$l66,o from the whole British En-
pire.
In return Canada sold to the United
States the following:

The miscellaneous items bring the
grand total of our exports to the | nlted
States to S37, ,2S0, ,512.
Inc tOlai duty cOlleCteu on Imports
from the nited States was s. 500, 900,
and on imports from Great Britain So
Il4,OO0, although our imports were SILL
600, 600 less from Great Britain.
The effect of the Mckinley tariff on
Canada's exports is distinctly seen in
the agricultural schedule, although the
Mckinley bill was not in force until
three months after our fiscal year began.
Our sales of barley fell from 800, 200
bushels in 1890 to 4,S92, 600 bushels in
1891 Instead of selling 81 ,06S, 600 worth
of hay We only sold 500, 900. The Unit
ed States took Il, SO, 600 dozen of eggs
in lS9a but the duty of 3 cents a dozen
reduced this in 1891 to 7,354 coo. The
nited States purchased in 1891 500 bar
rels of oatmeal. In 1890 it bought 49,
600 barrels. Exports of horses fell from
Ii, 900 to II 900. Oats and poultry were
largely reduced. Exports of potatoes
largely increased, but they were sent
over before the Mckinley bill came in
to force. Indeed, if it were not for the
three months we had III 1890 before the
Mckinney tariff came into force it is
evident that our agricultural exports to
the United States would have been sad
" crippled.
