PREFERENCE APPROVED BY FREJS TRADERS. A striking proof of the progress iniade du. Trjrag the towards the adoption of Im- po:iia,l Preifareuiee is fufrnaahed by the Rqport of the Royail Coiririiii £ isic<n on Trade Reiaitioine betwocin L'anaida and the West Indies. The question for tho Wccst Indies was how to re- taLla and extend thetir .position in the Can- adian rmarkitit, iln wihiich they at presetnit mjoy a pivrfcuxaice. The pouicy reconnanjemidtcd by tho Commiissiane-re, iueludimg two such stal- wart Free Traiders as Lord Balfour of Bur- leigh and Lard Isiirig-tan, in ordor to att-am this object is thus statsd in the Retpoirt: — "We a.1e faced wiith the eanoInsixHi thart. the gra,iit of a. reciprocal preference is the ociiy policy which is at alll liJcely to camanand any niieaisure of appiovafl either in the Wost Ln- diaiii Oaloniiets or the Domv.miicin We feei thai the vary specdaJ negations v.ihida oxiafc bsftweisja' CaiQtida end tho West Xadctse juistlfy us in sup porting the adoptuoci of such a. poLi.cy in thiit; case." Reciprocal pienetrcinte, thLin, is the policy proposed by the portions cc tibo B.riitrL-ih Em.piie. The edgmnficance of t-his report canynot be cocrfioncd to the question of the reuaitious bclbwoco. Oaniada and the West Indies. If mu.tW3.II prefemeiiioe is a good thing for these two Cokmiies, iit Cianmot be a bad thing for the nest of the Empire. As a ma,tt:ir of fact, our leading Cotloades freely ext-and to each other the prefieirein/tial treat- ir.iioiit wihjidh fhtey giive to the Mother ( "ttuiu-try.
