Political Relations with Canada
II, as we must suppose, the political re-
lations Of Canada and the disposition Of
tho Canadian government are to remain
unchanged q somewhat radical revision OF
our trade relations should, l think, be
made, Our relations must continue TO DO
intimate, and they should be friendly. .
There 10 no disposition on the part OF
the people or,RoYernment Of the United
| States to interfere in the smallest degree
with the political relations Of Canada, II
is time Tor us, however, to consider
whether, II the present state and
trend Of things IL to continue, our inter
changes upon lines Of land transportation
should not be put. upon q different basis
and our entire independence OF Cana
dian canals and Of the St. Lawrence
as an outlet to the sea DO secured BY the
construction of an American canal around
the falls Of Niagara and the opening OF
ship communication between the Great
Lakes and one Of our own SEQ ports. we
should not hesitate to avail ourselves or
our great natural trade advantages. We
should withdraw the support which Ii
given to the railroads and steamship lines
Of Canada by traffic that properly be-
Tonga to us, and no, longer furnish tbs
earnings which lighten the otherwise
crashing weight Of the enormous public
subsidies that have been given TO them.
