=Reciprocity.= Efforts were made from time to time by Canada, between
the years 1847 and 1854, to secure the free admission of goods between
Canada and the United States, but without success until the latter year,
when Lord Elgin negotiated a treaty. It came into force in 1855, and was
abrogated in 1866, at the instance of the United States. The renewal of
the treaty was urged by Canada in 1866, 1869, 1871, 1874, 1879, 1887,
1892, and 1896, but in every instance the American authorities failed to
respond. =Index=: =B= Advocated by Elgin, 37; the treaty and its
