Canada and Cobdenism in the Reciprocity Debate
The piece argues against fixed distrust of reciprocity with the United States, noting that Cobdenism and the 1854–1865 agreement were situational. It contends Canada misread its era, that Russia’s war and the American Civil War boosted Canadian gains, and that postwar U.S. protectionism forced Canada to adopt measures to remain competitive.

Grand Track Pacific secures Indian reserve for town site
Vancouver Feb 1 After two years of negotiations the Grand Track Pacific wins Indian reserve at North Fort George for a new town site on the Nechaco river near its Fraser confluence. Indians receive cash and a 750 acre Fraser river reserve east of Fort George as Montana’s town subdividing planned this summer by the Grand Track Pacific. The lodge company also holds adjoining land, uniting parcels into one site as Old Fort George is absorbed and South Fort George looks to benefit from the change.
