Meeting on Commercial Union Sparks Detroit Talk
A Detroit audience at White's opera house heard Erastus Wiman, Gov. Butterworth and others push commercial union between the United States and Canada. Speakers argued free trade would double the area of U S commerce with Canada, pooling tariffs and opening vast resources. They cited wheat, minerals, and timber as potential gains while stressing mutual benefits without bloodshed or cost. The discussion framed Canada as a willing partner in a borderless trade zone extending across North America.
