LET US HAVE RECIPROCITY.
The operations of the Buffalo cue
tom house for the past year show
that the McKinley bill is injuring
the trade of that city. It may be
noticed that the business of the cus-
tom house there is somewhat great-
er than that of the Hamilton cue -
tom house. The total valuation of
dutiable articles imported was $4,-
281,915 of free article, $577,087.
The duties collected aggregated
$827,565. As the imports were
mostly, fobd..articles and lumber,
these ilverage duties of about 17i
_.nor aenS,, ,ere -_very high. All the
jos imported from the United
States into Canada (largely manu-
factures) pay an average of a little
more than 14 per Dent. Among the
principal imports from Canada were
sheep and lumber valued at $747,-
804, and paying duties of $140,•
964.74, or noasly 20. per cent. Of
barley 312,525 bushels was import-
ed, valued at $162,88S, and paying
duties aggregating $93,857.50, or
57i per cent. Lumber paid rather
less than 10 per cent. Wood paid
nearly 60 per cent. Now, last yea
Canada imported from the United
States wool valued at $555,063,
which was free of duty. It is in
the interest of Canadian manufac-
tures that, merino wool shall not be
taxed, • ,Bu-t.we,have..a.good. •preced-
ent for leaving fine wool free, with
a proviso that if any country shall
impose duties on Canadian wools
a like duty shall be imposed on
wools imported from that country.
And so with a long list of other ar-
ticles. Eggs going to the United
States from Canada pay duty at the
rate of 5 cents per dozen. Last
year we imported egg from the Un-
ited States valued at $95,000, which
were free of duty. It would be
wise to put a duty of 5 °ante a
dozen on all egga entering the Do-
minion. So with cotton waste, so
with broom corn, and many other
articles, Then a large number of
articles which are not produced in
the United States come to Canada
through that country, such as hides,
raw silk, bananas and other tropical
fruits, gums, indigo, gutta percha,
india rubber, coffee and so on. It
would be wise to leave these articles
free when imported direct from the
countries of production, but to make
them dutiable when not so import-
ed. It is highly desirable to en-
courage direct intercoureo with
countries whence Canada draws sup-
plies, in order that those countries
may buy as largely as possible from
Canada.
Let us have reciprocity in trade
or reciprocity in tariffs.—Hamtilton
Spectator.

stance who was returning home from
Stratford came driving up at that
moment and they, hearing the bells,
made off across the fields.
