RECIPROCITY WANTED
Don inion of Canada Being the
Party with Whom Ii Is
Specially Desired.
MERCHANTS VISIT THE PRESIDENT,
Show the Necessity of the
New Policy.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Reciprocity
with Canada was strongly urged upon
President Roosevelt yesterday by a
delegation of influential business men
representing the chamber of commerce
of New York, Boston, Cleveland, De
troit. Buffalo, Indianapolis. Baltimore
and Pittsburg. The Commercial club,
of Chicago, is said to be in sympathy
with the movement, but had no dele
gate in the party for lack of time. j. X.
LeesOn, of Boston, was the spokesman
of the delegation and impressed Roose-
Welt with the commercial Importance Of
reciprocity with Canada if the United
States is to hold its export business
with the Dominion. The figures pre-
sented at the White House yesterday
show that the northern country is our
third-best customer in the markets of
the world.
Only Two Countries Head Canada.
Great Britain and Germany are the
only nations which buy more Ameri-
can products than Canada. Last year
United States exports to the Dominion
amounted TO more than $4,000. 600.
The assertion is made that our tariff
diScriminates against Canadian prod
ucts TO such an extent that the imports
from that country were only .$50.O0O.-
600. leaving a trade balance of about
SGO.OO0,O00 in our favor. The mer-
chants here yesterday said the Cana
dians have risen in revolt against the
tariff barrier and are demanding fair
concessions.
UnIucky rs to Number.
There were thirteen prominent men
in the delegation. and they We're deeply
in earnest in conteIding that unless
the United States reduces the tariff ON
some Canadian products il viii lose
much of its valuable trade with tire
Dominion. 1t was pointed out that as
our trade with Canada is more than
double that with all the South Ameri-
can countries combined, and consider
ably greater than the trade with Cuba,
the West Indies and Mexico, IL is man
ifestly unfair to talk of reciprocity
with these countries without extending
similar favOrs to Canada.
