'TRADE WITH CANADA*'*" Collier's Weekly: Canada is not ouly our third best customer, but, in proportion to population, our very best. In the fiscal year ending with June ^30, Canada bought ftom this country merchandise to the value of $126,000,000. Th^t makes sin average of more than $25 for every man, woman and child in British North America. In the same period the purchases of the United Kingdom, our larcrest customer, amounted to only about $12.50 per cap ita. This was despite Canadian prefer ence of 33 1-3 per cent' to British im orts, and despite tariff obstacles which Canada^ sales to the. United es to wbigft one-third of the valuer 'botqzfc from «s. i THE FAKGO FORUM AND DAILY REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1903. IS Dr. Lyon's PERFECT cTsed by people of refinement for over a quarter of a centaury PREPARED BY from American law-makers. It is ar gued tjhat a good customer should be treated with conciliation and friendli ness, not in a spirit of con:-:mpt or of hostility. That is the rule in private business. Why should it not be in na tional business? ask the merchants and manufacturers of the National Reci procity League, whose membership extends from Maine to St. Paul, in 189^. when the joint high commission of British-Canadian and American rep resentatives met at Montreal, the first question 011 its list was trade*reciproc ity while the obstacle which prevented an agreement was the Alaskan boun dary, now settled. Our tariff against Canada is illogical in many ways. Canada is now a great wheat-producing country. Following the natural course of trade, Canadian wheat should come to the American mills at Minneapolis and other cities to be ground. It is turned back by a tariff of 25 cents a bushel. The duty does not affect the price of American wheat. That is fixed at Liverpool. Canadian lumber "conies in under a high duty, which raises the price to American home builders. On the other hand, American manufacturers are be ing forced to build branch plants in Canada because of the tariff barriers. New England already has the bene fit of free coal from Canada, although the law removing the duty is only tem porary. But what reciprocity espec ially means for New England is a great ly enlarged, market, close at hand, for her immense manufactures of boots and shoes, cotton and woollen goods, „and other products of her ever-busy factories ABOUT NORTH DAKOTANS. .Washington correspondence in The Grand Forks Herald: Col. C. A. Louns berry, who arrived here Thursday morn ing, visited the commissioner of the general land office, who received him very cordially and in a kindly manner. Colonel Lounsberry then went to the ca'pitol, where he was most cordially greeted by both the North Dakota sena tors and by Representativ/e Spalding Cblonel Lounsberry expressed great dis appointment at not being able to see Representative Marshall, who had start ed for North Dakota on the preceding evening. Colonel Lounsberry gave The Herald representative an interesting reminiscence this morning concerning PefI7' Heath, who recently became fa rtimts: an,d,notorious.in postal affairs. In 188^' Perry Heath and General Clem ents (together secured from Henry M. Teller, secretary of the interior, an ord^r for the selection of land in the Devils Lake district. Upon preliminary survey they selected a section upon which there was immediately afterwards located Dunseith, the county seat. There were prospectors at work immediately for gold, coal and other minerals which did' not at once materialize. National influence had been invoked to make Perry Heath and General Clements very rich, but local influence changed the location of the county seat and 'they both went broke on the deal. Representative Spalding has been doing a great deal of work for the committee 011 territories. Upon him devolved the work of preparing a bill and a report providing a county gov ernment for Hawaii, the selection of county Officers, the collection of taxes, and other details tending to establish a stable governmental form of govern ment for that Pacific island possession. This was an enormous amount of con structive legislation and Mr. Spalding has heen. complimented by all of the memjt)prs of the committee on territor ies'for his excellent work in the mat ter. |«ATTEt MORTGAGE SAtE^: Notice js hereby given that default has'b^en made in the conditions of that certain mortgage made by George W^dgewood of Fargo, county of Cass, and state of North Dakota, mortgagor^ to N.
