Wall Street has come the inspiration
for the circulars in opposition to the
proposed Canadian reciprocity same—
ment. he declared Representative hi.
J. Hill. of Connecticut. in a speech
betore the Cleveland Chamber oi
Comoros today.
"Reciprocity with Canada.’ was Mr.
Hill's subject and he discussed it. not
as sporty or political measure, but Its
a business matter. "divorced from par-
ty politics."
The trade benefits that have re-
doundod to the United States and the
countries with which reciprocal trade
relationship has been established Wow
instanced by the speaker as proof of
similar advantages that would follow
reciprocity with Canada. Prior to lla-
\ir. Hill said. trade between the two
countries flourished under the intimate
agreement in force. while under the re
ciprocal arrangement existing butwaen
Cuba and the United States trade has
more than doubled. Under reciprocal
arrangements with the Philippines.
having a population greater than the
Dominion or Canada. the mutual trade
has increased In a single year by 70
per cent.
To the ratification of the agreements
with the islands named Mr. Hill re»
minded his henrers there was the most.
determined opposition and dlrciul pre-‘
dictions made of the results that
Milly would lollow. So. in the case
of Canada, ‘the speaker thought. the
prophecies o! woe that have been
heard from those who oppose reel
procity would be pmven to have been
lil adt i.sed
“There is nothing in the agreement
which prevents either country from
changing its tarlll relations in our
other respect at will.‘ hold bir Hill
and there is no dehnitu naed'llmit or
time when this agreement shall be tor
initiated. It in a straightforward busi- i
need armnmment tor the reciprocal'
exchange or such articles as the rep-
rcsentatises oi both governments be
lieved. after most canto! considera-
tion. could he made with safety to each
Other and for the mutual advantage
of both. and that would result in large.
ly increased business transactions in
other articles not directly aliectcd
named in the agreement.
An analysis 0! the elect oi the
agreement. when in operation. upon
corn. wheat. ash lumber. butter and
emphasized a statement that It would
be but the surplus production oi each
tountry that would go to the other ()I
risherics. from which interests a great
deal has been heard in opposition. Mr.
Hill said: "The entire product of
Canadian tlsberies In 1908 was only
”6.451.094. i think that will be a sur-
arise to some or you. We raised ops
tors. clams. crabs and lobsters enough
in this country to almost equal in vs~
no the entire product oi all the dab-
.:rles oi Canada.
“Our total product is about 854,000.-
100. Canada exported ”MING?

88,162,728 worth. We sent. to her dur
ing the slime yenr 86.3t2.000 worth
from our tlshories.
"Ii the entire product of both coun-
tries had been dumped upon our mar
ltet. this great nation would have con
somed it all at a per capital cost or
:3 cents each tor each one of our poo
lie. 1 submit to you that every consld«
oration of health and economy would
amply justify an Increase of the sup,
ply oi this Iood product manifold and
it it could be done it would be a bloss-
In? to all of us."
.umber. said Mr. Hill. has steadily
increased in cost and price until the
nobles: now is to know what substi-
tutes can-be employed for it. "I be
lleve that it there Is one question upon
which the American people are deter
mined." be continued.‘ 'it is that this
steadily increasing cost shall not be
enhanced by legislative enactment at
any kind and I go still further than
that. and claim that the removal of the
duty on lumberot every kind and char-
acter between this country and Can-
ada would not be a violation of the
principle of protection. but would be
ptrictly in accordance with it. .
"This great country c! ours in its
enormous expansion ct industries has
reached a point where consumption is
rapidly passing production and the
continuation or high prices Ior tooii
products ls inevitable. i do not look
for any reduction of these prices even
it this reciprocity proposition is enact-
ed into law. it w ll possibly stay the
