It is only natural that the trade be-
tween Canada and the United States
should be extensive. We cultivate
similar soil; we draw riches from the
same great lakes and rivers; we delve
into the same mountain ranges for
our minerals; we are very much alike
in customs and habits; we have the
same system of weights, measures and
money; we have similar methods of
keeping accounts and of transacting
business-hence our nearness to each
other must ever induce extensive
trade.
