BETTER TRADE WITH CANADA
THEME OF ADDRESSES AT DE-
TRoIT DINNER.
James r. Garfield and Toronto Edi-
tor Before Wholesalers and
Manufacturers Association.

DETROIT. Mich. November TO-
James r. Garfield. former Secretary of
the Interior. and j. s. Wilson Of To-
ronto. editor of the Toronto Evening
News. were the principal speakers last
night at a dinner given at the Hotel
Cadillac by the Wholesalers and Manu-
facturers' Association of Detroit for the
purpose Of discussing better trade rela-
tions with Canada.
Mr.. Garfield in his address pointed to
the fact that the boundary line between
the United States and Canada lis not
frowning with forts and guns" and de-
clared that the relations between the
two countries are of peculiarly close
and intimate character. racially, geo.
graphically and politically.
'orhe enormous development OF the
use Of water for power and irrigation,
he said, has brought up a serious ques
ton. The distribution of the water
power in streams flowing back and forth
across the boundary cannot safely be
either country"
Not Discriminatory Restrictions.
Editor Wilson said in his address:
Canadian restrictions upon the ex-
port of pulp wood and saw logs cannot
be properly described as discriminatory
(although they do chiefly affect the
United States), because they apply alike
to all countries. And 1 am bound to
say that the provinces are unlikely to
consider any reversal Of policy, and
there is no doubt that the movement
for a federal export duty will become
more formidable.
Canada. maintains a preferential tar
iffSof SO Ia per cent in favor Of i'm
Drit oin nd nfh 0r
British dominions. Will this constitute
undue discrimination? We understand
that Washington makes separate tariffs
for Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Interruption to Trade.
1T is perhaps a natural expectation
that the intertrade relations between
Great Britain and her colonies will not
expose us to retaliatory action. If the
Presidents decision should be otherwise
the Canadian surtax Of 33 Ia per cent
will take effect against this country.
trade will almost cease to flow from
north to south and all our relations
will be profoundly and deplorably es-
tranged.
You have the higher tariff: we have
the weaker and younger industries. Our
trade with you is three times as great
as your trade with us, and our natural
resources are legitimate material for
our national upbuilding. May 1 ask
You also to remember that within the
British empire we have found ample
national sovereignty and that We lie
ever closer to the heart OF England
