TRADE WITH CANADA GROWS
Great Britain Unable to Control II

WASHINGTON. March s5.-Trade OF the
United States with Canada in the fiscal
year 1906 aggregated s2O2999,elS against
SSs.429Os6 in 1Sa5. according 20 a bulletin
issued by the Department Of Commerce
and Labor. 1t shows that in the twenty
years from 1879 to 1875 our trade with Can
ada increased s25,o0oOo0 and from 1885 TO
1895 II increased tl14CO0,OOO. The larger por-
ton OF this growth has been on tho o.
port side. The imports increased from
t27S6ISi5 in $3.50 to s6o 49, eS2 in 1905 and eN-
ports advanced from s345i5,9l9 Sin 1915 to
Si40.529.5S1 in 1904.
"This rapid growth in trade relations
with Canada" says the bulletin, lis espe-
cially interesting in view Of the varying
conditions to which commerce with Cam
ada has been subjected. During the period

at has been my intention for some time
to retire from congress at the end of my
present term,' said Representative Lit
tauer "but I was not anxious to have the
announcement made at this time and 1 am
not yet ready to tell my constituents the
reasons which actuate me-"
A great majority OF the members OF
both houses are lawyers. The excep-
tions TO the rule are generally business
men, and there are a few farmers in the
lower house and a fair sprinkling OF
miners in the senate. Occasionally a
business man makes such record for
himself that the wonder is that more con-
stituencies do not ignore the legal fra.
ternity in casting about for congressional
candidates. Certainly the Twenty-ffth dis
trict of New York made no mistake when
Lucius Nathan Littauer was chosen to
represent the counties of Fulton. Hamil-
ton, Montgomery, Saratoga and Warren.
At the end of his term Mr.. Littauer will
have served ten years in congress and
during the greater portion OF that period
he has been a member of the important
committee on appropriations. In handling
appropriation bills on the floor of the
house Mfr. Littauer has shown clearly the
characteristics which have made him one
of the most successful business men in the
country. He conducts his private business
at long range and is as closely in touch
with the markets Of Egypt when he buys
his raw material as he is with the affairs
before the committee OF which he is one
OF the most valued members.
II is because he devotes sixteen hours
out OF every twenty-four TO private and
public business that he has little sym
