TRADE WITH CANADA.

Tariff Wall Cloning n Good Market For Our Products. The Canadians are considering the question of increasing their tariff rates, already quite high, and putting on a high rate of duty on many articles now on the free list. The vegetable growers are complaining that every year large quantities of vegetables are shipped from the United States to the principal cities in Canada and sold at prices below the cost of production at the centers where they are disposed of. On the other hand, the United States tariff prevents the Canadian vegetable growers from retaliating. There will soon be an impassable tariff wall between us and Canada If the protectionists on both sides of the Hue are allowed their way, and another good market will be closed to American products. The day for reciprocity has passed, and the era of retaliation is opening, and yet the Republican leaders declare they will stand pat.
