Show CANADA WILL RETALIATE. Uncle Sam's Vessels Must Pay Toll in the Welland Canal. Ottawa, Ont., July 23. It is reported on good authority that the Dominion government govern-ment in the event of President Harrison's inforcing the act imposing a tax on Canadian vessels passing through the Soo canal will pass an order imposing a tax on American vessels passing through the Welland canal. This, It is declared, will not be any more of an evasion of the treaty at Washington than the threatened American decree as the United States government by the same treaty agreed to secure for the Canadians on the same terms as Americans the use of the Soo canal at that time owned by the State of Michigan. .-a-. - |
