War Interrupted Commerce.

"A continuous Improvement in bust
ness conditions was reported on both
sides of the border line until the ap-
proach of the civil war interfered with
commerce, and an appeal to the long
sleeping, anti-British sentiment of our
people, brought to the front by design
ing interests, finally succeeded in Sc
curing the abrogation of the treaty.
THE abrogation of the treaty of 1854
has been regarded as a public calamity
by practically all the students of our
relations with Canada. That treaty
placed upon the free list grain, flour
and breadstuffs, animals of all kinds.

Reciprocity in Navigation.
..It gave American vessels unimpeded
access to the Canadian canals and the
Canadians the same rights to navigate
Lake Michigan. More than that it set
tied the Atlantic fisheries question, by
permitting American fishermen to fish
where they pleased along the Canadian
coasts, without regard to the three-mile
limit, and to land upon the coast, to
procure bait and for all other legitimate
purposes.
THAT question, when, the treaty was
abrogated. reverted to the old and ILL
defined original treaties, caused a re-
opening of all the manifold disputes on
the Canadian fishing grounds. and was
not finally settled until the recent action

According TO the testimony II was
shown that about a year ago the
Strow Cement company, OF Strow,
Ind, made large contracts with manu-
facturers In Detroit, to use an inn
mense amount OF their product and
in order to get the business, the
Wabash railroad reduced its rate OF
transportation on this particular com
modify from five to four cents per
hundred pounds.
This action caused other railroads
in Michigan to reduce the freight
rate in order to compete with the
Wabash road. Now that the contracts
between the Strow company and the
Detroit manufacturers have expired
the Wabash has placed the rate Of
cement at FIVE cents again, and In
spite of the protests waged by the
shippers the other roads in this state
are considering making the rate five
cents again

have been one OF the most expensive

ever was called upon TO pay for. The

that the trial must be held in Ian

himself 10 exercise over the admin
