or less of an increase in the value of variety of
other articles that we exported to British North
America.
There was some falling off in our exports of az
ricultural implements and of raw cotton and cot,
ton goods but the decline was SO trihmg as to be
devoid of any special significance The total of each
of these classes of exports still remained compare,
lively large.
While our exports to Canada increased $S,000000
in 1904 as contraSted with 1903 our imports from
the Dominion fell off nearly $S,4o0,00o. The latter
for 1904 amounted to only $5l 100000 leaving bal,
anee of trade in our favor of practically $S00000Oo
This is the heaviest balance in our favor in the en-
tire history of our trade with the Dominion, the
nearest approach thereto being that of 1903 when it
amounted to $6S,500000.
In the light of the foregoing figures, it is likely
to be exceedingly difficult to get the mass of Amer
lean voters greatly excited over the question of
reciprocity with Canada.
