ITS FLEET
- Shippers have wondered for some time
past why It wss that the Oregon Rail
road Navigation company did not add
to Its coast fleet. The opinion has long
prevailed that such a venture would
prove a paying Investment from the
start. At times the docks of the com
pany have been crowded . with freight
which, on account of inadequate trans
portation facilities. It was Impossible
to move with any degree of regularity.
Steamship owners from other ports have
taken advantage of the situation to send
veaaels her occasionally to secure
cargoes. As a result the company has
lost bualness which It could easily have
controlled 'had ita fleet been sufficiently
large.
The oriental situation remains prac
tically. the same, po vessel having yet

. V cial Arrangement j
; (By John S. Baftery.)
Buffalo. N. Y., Aug. y. Thirty year
have elapsed since the question of recip
rocity between the - United State and
Canada haa had adequate attention from
the publlo of this country. Tet at this
day there la not a question of national
legislation so tremendously Important -to
the Interests of the North American
people as that of a reciprocal tariff be
tween the United States and Canada. ,
This l one of the. few topic .upon,
which congressional representatives of
both the great parties can. and have, -eome.
.together 4 with marked unanimity.
It Is true that Canada Is as much, or
more, interested In such a progressive
step of international comity as 1 the
United State. - But, on account of Pre
mier Chamberlain' preferential tariff,
program, there iacaueto .believe Jlhst ,.
the Kngiisn government witn an almost
purely sentimental stroke of colonial
legislation, made at the eleventh hour,
will forestall and emasculate the belated
willingness of this country to formu
late and perfect a system of Internation
al trade unity that would have redound
ed to the Incalculable benefit of both '
Canada and the United States. . .
X.ooal Interest Blocked Treaties.
Senator Shelby M. Cullora, chairman
of the United State senate committee
on foreign relations, yesterday made the
astonishing admission that all of the
treaties arranged during the laat two de
cade' for the purpose of accomplishing
adequate reciprocity or commercial
unionism ' between Canada and the
United States had been beaten by the
power of a few senators, who made com
binations . In favor of local tntereeta
without regard for the general welfare.
Meanwhile It must be remembered that
thus far Canada haa made six distinct
and different efforts to bring about a
measure of commercial unity between
the two countries. It may not be wholly
to our credit, but It Is a fact that some
of these attempts were met Ignorant
ly or discourteously.
Canada Is the United States' third
largest customer among; the nation of
the world. In 101 the United State
exported more to Canada by tS6,S14,00O
than to Mexico, Central America and all
of South America combined. '
This shows a good market 1 for the
United State under condition that are
essentially hostile to the trade relations ;
of both countries. Is the great Cana
dian market worth1 an effort to retain T .
There la no question but that It I men.
aced by a serious and perhaps destruct
ive curtailment. Inquiry among sen
atore and repreaentatives of the Amer- .
lean congress shows that the legislative
representatives of the people are. In a .
majority of Instances, ignorant or In
different about question which. In the
minds of those most studious of, and .
best Informed about, the. .subject -is of
paramount . interest to the future com
mercial expansion of the. United, States.
From 1)64 to lltf the two countries
were on a trade footing that certainly
redounded to the benefit of both, and In
which, beyond question, the United
States had all "the best of It." under
conditions that should by ordinary pro
cesses have favored Canada. In other
words the balance of trade slwsys re- -malned
with the United States. In spite
of the fact that during the progress of
the civil war our purchases of horses, .
cereal and supplies were greater than .
under ordinary condition and our pro
duction and marketing of staples were
subjected to the unavoidable restrictions
of war time. Under that reciprocal
treaty's twelve years' duration, and not
withstanding our enforced buying ten
dency, we bought only 16.7S.OOfl. .
while we sold $3JI.27,00 to Canada,
leaving a, balance of trade in our favor
Of t73.nt,000.
Tariff regulations, good In their gen
eral effect, but wholly Inapplicable to
and uncalled for by the peculiarly Inti
mate relations of the two countries, have
alnce been Buffered to destroy a policy
which, more than a quarter of a cen
tury ago, promised to establish and
broaden forever the community of Inter
est and the mutually beneficial relatione
of two great countries without ever
dragging In any question of national pol
itics or rtriotlo loyalty.
