RETALIAroRY CANADA.

a not-uncommon argument by the
opponents of u reciprocal-tradc ar.
rangement between the United States
and Canada is that this country is
already heavy exporter into the
Dominion, that We are constantly
selling the Canadians more goods
SO why not "lct we'll enough alone?
why disturb IL condition OF interna-
tional trade wherein the advantage Is
markedly our own ut present? Why
enter into treaty the principal eff
fccts of which would be to open our
markets more freely to Canada, to
Increase our purchases from her and
to decrease our customs revenues
through tariff concessions?
This is only one form of tho
"stand-pat" policy. 1t is strictly true
that the United States Is selling Can
ada moro and moro goods every
year; she is buying them apparently
because she prefers them to the Same
lines OF manufacture in other coun.
tries; she has given the mother
country" England. preferential tar
iff that averages 80 per cent. less
than the duties levied on American
exports into Canada-but still the
Canadians buy our hlghcr-duty goods
III increasing volume. All this may
Justify us In patting ourselves on the
back and waving off cavnlierly all
suggestions of Canadian reciprocity.
But something may yet happen to So
riously disturb these conditions Mt
present so gratifying to us and so
satisfying to our national pride.
Speaker Sutherland Of the Canadian
House Of Commons gave hint of
what 1t might be In his remarks at
tho dinner of the Canadian Club OF
New York tho other night He said:
while we have tho most friendly
feeling for the United States and
there are many ties to bind us to-
Eethor, VIC havo after repeated or.
forts to get better trade relations

ana have driftcd off to trade with
other nations. or course, we have
to trade somewhere. We are buying
two or three dollars worth of goods
from YOU to one dollar that you buy
from us. But that can't last. We
do not intend that It shall continue.
/. Some time ago we gave Great
