Reciprocity With Canada

Detroit, Mich., May 11. - Exchange hall of the Detroit chamber of commerce presented a brilliant scene Monday night when the 250 members sat down at the second annual dinner of that organization. The special guests of the occasion were Eratus Wiman of New York and AVilliam Everett of Quiney, Mass., and the topics of all the speakers were along the Unes of commercial enterpriso and progress. Eratus Wiman responded to the topic "Better Relations with Canada." Among oiher things he said: "In the fuü view on both sides of a border line 4,000 miles long, of a depression unequaled in universality, severity and duration, the government on both sides are intently engaged in building higher than ever the tariff wall. They are thus destroying about the only chance there i.= of a revival of commerce or an, out?t for product and manufactures. That the,people of Canada are favorable to the closest relationship to this country is evidenced by the fact that its new government has already shown itself ready to meet overtures by which the two countries can practlcally be united. Annexation is unnecessary, undesirable and impos.sible. Canada is today more loyal to Great Britain than' ever before. All that is needed now is to have the commercial sentiment of all the great cities exprese itself in favor of a better relation."
