contains a letter from ron hon benjamin butterworth a member of congress from cincinnati who introduced 1 n trod the bill in n congress for the lar largeant est reciprocity between catada and the united states the are extracts you are familiar with the details of the proposition contained in the bill introduced by me at the closing days of the last session of congress that thai closer commercial relations or angry and possible permanent estrangement between canada and the united states must in the near future obtain seems too clear to need argument to sustain it it is the inexorable LOGIC of the situation that closer and freer relations are desirable from every poin of view Is ie apparent abd it seems equally clear that there is 14 no measure of reciprocity short of that which is aullana full and complete that can meet the obvious requirements of the situation I 1 repeat the way out of the present entanglement will lead to the most happy and valuable and in eatery way sensible results in the way of unity ot commercial and social interests between ourselves and our neighbors and kinsmen on the north or an alle and estrangement which would beadlike be alike discreditable to our statesmanship and our hurn humanity anity either we win will take down the partition wall which fories forces our commerce back upon ourselves and stops its flow ai along ong the natural channels which it u unerringly ne r seeks out but and give it full scope so that trade between the united states and canada will kb BE AS FREE kazz as it is between new york yorka and

intelligent person who carefully care lully investigates the facia will hesitate to pronounce in lavor favor of ane fullest and most complete reciprocity fortunately canada is as free and clothed with as lull power to jeon ion elude clude arrangements as Is the united state the former by atch a course will in no wise DISTURB HER RELATIONS ONO with the mother country the ties that bind tier her to england are not mot commercial they are those which reach from hearthstone to hearthstone and could only be destroyed by the mother country in an effort to interpose insupportable barriers I 1 in th the way of the prosperity and happiness PI me IS of he her children on this side of th the e A atlantic tl ariti this england will not do of course urse in case of full reciprocity as proposed in the bill to which 1 I have caned called your attention the internal revenue of canada would require some modification but this relates to matters afi detail and presents no serious obstacle worth considering oar Our tariff systems are now substantially the same and be made identical aj and that system which has placed the united states in the front rank of manufacturing fac turing nations would speedily odily do like service for canada the settlement jentof of the question about mackerel and codfish is NOT DIFFICULT I interests ilter and compared avith othe vast interests ests affected

would be an adjustment of the differences by a full reciprocity and a renew wed prosperity prop erity to us which we have hitherto not known this would possibly involve a little sacrifice of pride but it would be met on OB this side by a like spirit of compromise and adjustment in other words the co sessions cessions ces ions would be mutual NEW YORK march 17 A number of banks were reported to be
