CANADA IS DEMANDED.
The general impression among New-York business
and professional yesterday In regard 10 tho
message which President Harrison sent to the Senate
urging Congress to adopt reallatory trade measures
against Canada WIS that It exactly the proper
action for the President 10 take. They say that
Canada has right to Discriminate In favor Of
Canadian and against American shippers, and that
decisive measures should be resorted to.
Henry Clews says that after reading the PresdentS
message he understands that all the Chief Executive
wants is justice and fair play. The President Is .
irmlnded man. added Mr.. Clews. "and he would
not take such an attitude ne has taken unless he
justification. We have acted fairly With Canada,
always have. aid We expect fair treatment from
the Dominion. We have tried TO treat Canada fairly,
we should treat all ncighbors. do not tnnk
England will stand by and see Injustice done.'
Henry W. Cannon, president OF the Chase National
Bank. Is another banker who regards the Presidents
message the proper document TO send to the Senate.
His action the mere logical sequence Of
succession OF diplomatic courts. President Harrison
wants fair treatment for American citizens and that
Is tire he has placed the matter before Con.
gross. Just so long Canada insists discrtminar
lions against American vessels in Canada canals Just
loug will this country decline to extend any favos.
These disGgrcements between the United States and
Canada TO be regretted because reciprocity with
Canada IS postponed. But the regrets should be
greater the other side OF the border the benefits
would be greater TO the Canadians. Any trading We
hope d. with profit be largely along the line
OF manufactured goods

and such determinations should not be made
against American shippers saiI c. p Huntington.
b" by the American railways running from Ogdensburg
and Oswsso and other American ports the shippers
pay the full 20 cents n ton, while in effect those by
the way Of Montreal pay only cents. This Is
violation OF treaty made some years ago, and u
Canada is injured by any steps take regarding the
matter she can blame herself
"When the Canadians receive the same treatment
rs Americans on the SAINT Ste. Marie why should not
Canal!' said Frederick ID. TAppen, when speaking Of
the Presidents message. II Canada expects favOrs
she must grant some. 1t is nothing more than an
outrage charge American citizens The rates that are
demanded of them at present. IL Is certainly mat
ter Of regret as President Harrison has sad that the
Canadian Government has not responded promptly to
request for the removal OF these discriminating
tnr'ns."
W. Watson, the New York agent for the Canadian
Pacific Railroad when asked what effect the carrying
out OF the suggestions Of President Harrison would
have on Canadian railroads said that II would not
interfere with their business In the least.
DO you think that the President had taken .
wrong view OF the matcrl' he was asked
NO, on the contrary" was the answer al think
that the President Is fair In what he says"
Another official In the Office when asked for his
opinion on the subject, said: 81 II will shut out
anadan railroads entirely and reduce their dividends
30 per cent Canada would better make up her mind
that the United is bigger country than the
