An essay by J A Bolles outlines the 1854 Reciprocity Treaty with Canada as a bridge to broader tariff reform. It notes Canada’s initiative, English tariff bias, and gradual Canadian moves to regulate duties, culminating in improved trade terms with the United States and the push for lower tariffs amid shifting political tides. The piece underscores personalities, dates, and plac es in the cross border tariff debate and its impact on New England.
