Excerpt from Canada and the Preference: Canadian Trade With Great Britain and the United States
As regards the preference, both British and Canadian busi ness men have come to understand better what it really means. Possibly the average citizen not familiar with trade conditions has still to learn that it is something more than a toy. For atime the sentimental aspect bulked more prominently than any other. But those to whom its influence has been brought home now view it both as a business and as a political policy. It may be agreed that it is not a mandate for mutual sacrifices, nor a medium to work out single-handed a revolution in trade relations. It is simply an important object-lesson in political and constitutional relations, a partial offset to British geo graphical remoteness and a measure of tariff modification.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines Canada's remarkable economic growth, which began in the 1890s as a result of opening up the country and developing trade routes east and west. The author argues that Canada's protective tariff, implemented in 1879, played a significant role in this growth, particularly with the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885. The preferential tariff with Britain, introduced in 1897, further supported Canadian industry and trade. The book explores the ongoing debate surrounding tariff revisions, with some advocating for closer trade relations with the United States and others emphasizing the importance of protecting Canadian industry and maintaining the British preference. The author also discusses the impact of transportation routes, shipping facilities, and freight rates on Canada's trade patterns. By examining these factors, the book provides valuable insights into the historical and contemporary dynamics of Canada's economic development, highlighting the complex interplay between protectionism, trade liberalization, and the country's geographical and political context.
