AMERICAN TARIFF.
CANADIAN TRADE INJURED.
BLOW TO GOOD RELATIONS. (Received May 2, 5.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON. May 1. ~Lieutenant-Colonel Woo'ds, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, told the United States Chamber of Commerce that the ruthless enactments in the Tariff Bill were preventing the sale of Canadian goods in the United States. This was causing a sentiment of injustice to spread over the Dominion, and a 20 per cent., loss of trade would result from the passage of the bill. This was riot so important as the spirit that was being created as a result. The speaker then issued a warning that the American tariff would drive Canadian trade within the British Empire.
Speaking of preference he said: "It has to overcome family prejudice. Yet it will grow. It will not be a growth excluding business with you, or anyone else in the world, but it will strengthen ns year by year in our attitudo toward the rest of the world."
