Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Commerce on the Reciprocity Treaty With Great Britain: Together With the Treaty and Acts of Congress in Relation Thereto The origin of the tariff, tolls, and discriminating duties, of which the people of our northern States complain, is not with their neigh bors of the Upper Province, who have always opposed this legisla tion, but with those of the Lower Province, who have endeavored, in violation of the laws of trade, to force the trade of Canada West and of the western States to Montreal and Quebec, instead of allowing New York and Boston to compete on equal terms with the ports on the St. Lawrence. As the chief exports of Canada to the United States are made from the Upper Province, to st0p the importation of these productions into the United States would injure most that sec tion of Canada against which no complaint has been made. The chief cities of Canada West, through their boards of trade, presented petitions against the objectionable tariff, of which the fol lowing is an example.
