The present duties On American goods
shipped into Canada are depriving us of a
foothold in what is destined to be the
great farm district of the world. On the
other hand the duties on grain and lum-
Der coming into the States blockade those
products and allow them to go to vast 9
for lack of a market. When those duties
are removed and a reciprocity treaty is
made with Canada we will get a large
amount Of business that we want and
Canada will get golden grain belt beer as
cheap as we do. They need this beer and
will find it a great delicacy for table use.

lean Concerns.

Some big firms in the north of Eng
land in order to meet the threatened
invasion of this country by Ameri-
can iron and steel goods have been
lately deyoting time, trouble and
money to the search for new beds of a
high quality of iron ore near the al
ready existing collieries, says a dis
patch to the New York Tribune from
London. The northern countries are
full of coal, but up to the present time
many of the largest iron works have
had TO depend largely on Spanish and
other eXtraneous supplies of iron ore.
That will, however, no longer be the
case should the discoveries reported
in Cum berland and elsewhere prove au-
thentic. Vast beds of excellent hema-
title are said TO have been already
tapped in more than one locality, and
the quick success Of these tenta tive eff
forts are expected to stimulate the
search further.
