coal is largely used in LoSton. and our
Boston consumers have to pay, l think,
81 cents per ton as a tariff on all they con-

turing establishments are dependent on our
Pennsylvania coal, and they are charged
a tariff of 50 cents a ton on all that they
buy. The same is true in the far west.

Canada and American Trade.
Indeed, Uncle Sam can afford to pay
considerable attention TO his Canadian
trade. He is sending embassies to Africa,
special commissioners to South America,
and is getting down on his knees and
kotowing to the old empress dowager to
get rid of the boycott in China. The trade
of all these countries is a bagatelle COM
pared with that which lies across our
northern boundary. Canada's foreign COM
