Hersi it is seen that while Great Britain
has lost nearly S., 1000 of her annua.
sales to her greatest dependency, the
United States, e greatest competitor,
has gained to the extent of over So, OOO,-
OOO right in Great Britain's own terri
tory. 1t 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 United
ST. ,OOO. against $4,6S6,S57 from the
British Empire all over the world. Of
brass and it's manufactures we bought
from the United States $35S 600, and
from the British Empire only $4,000.
Ofthe manufactures of wood the United
States sold us during the year 500, 600,
of which $275,317 was furniture; Of
clocks and watches, $4,000; copper
and manufactures OF, $274,UOO; cotton
and manufactures of, $S24,O 600. In cot
ton, hosiery, towels and ha~ndkerchiefs
it seems strange that in this market the
United States should be completely out
bid by Great Britain, although in near
United States does the bulk of the trade.
The duty on these, as, indeed, on
all goods, is the same against
United States. OF fancy goods,
including feathers, toys, laces and orna-
ments, we purchased from the United
States 1852. 600, and of glass and its man
ufactures $436, O0O. 1t is noticeable that
of common and colorless window glass
Belgium sold us S23S, 900, Great Britain
$4,000 and the United States only
5000. What the United States was
most successful with in this market
were TASKS, walls, lamp chimneys and.
globes.
United States was beaten by Great
Britain, the figures being for the for

OF leather and its manufactures the

$166 600 from the whole British EN-
pire.
In return Canada SOLD to the United.

The miscellaneous items bring the
grand total of our exports to the United

The effect of the Mckinley tariff on
Canada's exports is distinctly seen in
the agricultural schedule, although the
Mckinley bill wa not in force until
three months after our fiscal year began.
Our sales of barley fell from 9,975,OOO
bushels in 1890 to 1892. 600 bushels in
1891. Instead of selling 81, O6S, 900 worth
of hay we only sold S559,OOO. The Unit
ed States took 12,S25,OOO dozen of eggs
in 1899. but the duty of 5 cents q dozen
reduced this in 1891 to 1854. 600. The
United States purchased in 1891 500 bar
rels of oatmeal. In 1890 it bought 49,
600 barrels. Exports of horses fell from
10000 to I 1000. Oats and poultry were
largely reduced. Exports of potatoes.
largely increased, but they we're sent
over before the Mckinley. bill came in
to force. Indeed, if it were not for the
three months We had IN 1890 before the
Mckinley tariff came into force it is
evident that u agricultural exports to
the United States would have been sad
ly crippled.
