ferential. The same is true of coal. of which
we sent $5O.0 worth. and of canned and other
wise preserved fish. of which we sent S2IS.OOO
worth. Our trade in fruit amounted 10 Si36,OOO
none of which is subject 10 discrimination. We
sent 2,272000 worth of mules. which are on
the free list. SO is leather. of which we sent
$4,000 worth Meats and meat products
amounted 10 $1.5JOOO0 and are under Il specific
duty and so subject TO no differential. So are
confectionery. 100000; plug and other tobaccos
$5S0,000, and many other articles.
Thus we have enumerated nearly $10.000,O0J
worth of exports which win not suffer In the
least from the discriminating tariff, and we
have no doubt that enough other items could
be found to bring the total up TO half of our en-
tire sales to South Africa. There are. besides
various important articles on which Great Brit
ain will enjoy a rebate. but which she will be
unable to supply. Wood and woodenware. for
example We sent South Africa about S1.J00-
600 worth but at the same time we sent
Great Britain ten times as much Wherefore
the rebate in favor Of Great Britain will do us
little harm. On the whole. then. the imposition
of a discriminating tariff in favor of Great
Britain is something which American commerce
may face with equanimity. 1t may do Great
Britain good 1t will do us little. il any, harm

SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE AND TARIFFS.

somewhat alarming note has been sounded
for America benefit by the German Central
Bureau for Preparing Commercial Urea ties at
Berlin. 1t is to the effect that the proposed
dferential tariff in British South Africa will
bear even more hardly upon America than upon
Germany. As America and Germany will re-
ceive equal treatment that must mean that
America will suffer more because her COM
merce with those countries is greater. Certainly
it is great, and is rapidly growing In the fiscal
year 1901-02 our exports thither were valued at
more than S26000000 showing an increase Of
about 81 per cent over the preceding year Now
it is pointed out that in two-thirds of these
wares America is a competitor with Great Brit
ain Upon the face of the case therefore. a
tariff differentiai of % per cent in favor of
British goods would be a serious if not fatal,
handicap upon an important branch of the
American export trade.
We must be permitted to doubt, however
whether the menace to American commerce is
quite as great as our German friends seem to
think. \ pOetphlosopher has reminded us
that
Your labor is lost and your argument wrecked
If your major 4,remise is incorrect;
and II does not seem that the major premise of
this German argument is entirely correct. That
is to say it is not true that differential tariff
rate is to be imposed upon all or nearly all of
the goods which export to South Africa
The new tariff comprises five schedules, as fol-
lows: |, special rates (specihc, with a few ad
p valOrem rates added; H. mixed adj valorem
rates; III. uniform al valorem rates of 2l5 per
cent; ". free list. and V uniform adj valorem
rates Of 10 per cent Oh ALI articles not other
wise provided for Now, the rebate in Great
Britain's favor is to be % per cent of the al
valorem rates in Schedules l, II and Y. and of
the whole duty in Schedule III. As the adj
valorem rates are in few cases more than 10
per cent, the rebate will seldom be more than
212 per cent of the value of the goods Such a
discrimina ton wll OF course be felt TO some
degree. 1t would be more serious If it We're 10

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.

Exports from the United States to
Canada in the fiscal year just ended
show larger total than in any preced-
ing year. Eleven months figures Just
completed by the bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce show that
the Increase in exports to British North
America" has been u million dollars in
the eleven months of 1903 compared with
the corresponding months of the preced-
ing year, and indicate that the increase
for the entire fiscal year viii be some
thing more than II million dollars. This
is larger increase than in any year in
the history of our commerce with Can
ada, except 1890 when the increase was
slightly greater than that of the last
fiscal year.
Under the term British North Amer
lea" the bureau of statistics groups
Quebec, Ontario. Manitoba, and the
Northwest territory; Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island:
Newfoundland and Labrador; and Brit
ish Columbia. By far the most import
ant of these groups, commercially, is
Quebec, Ontario. etc, and it is IN the
exports to those provinces that the
chief growth has taken place.
The total exports to British North
America from the United States for the
fun fiscal year seem likely to be about
125 millions, against 112 millions in 1902,
107 millions in 1901 and 81 millions in
1900
Not only has the growth in exports
from the United States to Canada been
greater in the year just ended than in
any preceding year with a single ex-
ception. but that growth has been great
er than to any other country except
Germany. To Germany the increase in
the eleven months of 1908 for which fig
ures are now available was q millions
