BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas by an act of Congress approved July 26, 1892, entitled "An act
to enforce reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and
Canada, and for other purposes," it is provided--

That with a view of securing reciprocal advantages for the citizens,
ports, and vessels of the United States, on and after the 1st day
of August, 1892, whenever and so often as the President shall be
satisfied that the passage through any canal or lock connected with the
navigation of the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, or the waterways
connecting the same of any vessels of the United States, or of cargoes
or passengers in transit to any port of the United States, is
prohibited or is made difficult or burdensome by the imposition of
tolls or otherwise which, in view of the free passage through the St.
Marys Falls Canal now permitted to vessels of all nations, he shall
deem to be reciprocally unjust and unreasonable, he shall have the
power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend, by proclamation to that
effect, for such time and to such extent (including absolute
prohibition) as he shall deem just, the right of free passage through
the St. Marys Falls Canal so far as it relates to vessels owned by the
subjects of the government so discriminating against the citizens,
ports, or vessels of the United States or to any cargoes, portions of
cargoes, or passengers in transit to the ports of the government making
such discrimination, whether carried in vessels of the United States or
of other nations.

In such case and during such suspension tolls shall be levied,
collected, and paid as follows, to wit: Upon freight of whatever kind
or description not to exceed $2 per ton, upon passengers not to exceed
$5 each, as shall be from time to time determined by the President:
_Provided_, That no tolls shall be charged or collected upon freight
or passengers carried to and landed at Ogde
