1T is proper enough for the ad-
ministration to show Canada that
she cannot discriminate against free
American canals, and the law of
Congress passed in July last ought
Ia bo enforced against the Domin-
ion until such discrimination ceases.
The Canadian government puts a
toll without rebate of about 20 cents
per ton on freight going through
the Welland canal. as we'll as fur
Their toll on ell American vessels
and passengers. She, however, re-
funds Is cents per ton on certain
farm products if they are carried to
Montreal or beyond for export.
About the 18th of August, last, the
British representative at Washing
ton assured the state department
shat Ii was the intention Of the Ca
madam ministry to abolish the re-
bate at the end of the navigation
sea son, but of course this left no
discretion with the president, and
the retalstory proclamation was
accordingly issued. The season
will not last much longer, to be
sure, but it may be that the Cana
dian parliament will be convened
and the Objectionable dlscrimina-
ton removed. Otherwise, COM
mercial complication will naturally
arise, and the retalliatory policy
once opened may be followed on
both sides until serious conse-
quences ensue.
