1854WRCAM38220Washington 1854. 42pp. including statistical tables. String-tied gathered signatures. A few fox marks on the first leaves else near fine. Untrimmed. A rare and lengthy report on a proposed treaty between the United States and Great Britain to drop the duty on Canadian coal imported to the United States. The authors of the report claim that importing coal and iron from Canada would free up American labor and capital to concentrate on other industries. This report presents a thorough statistical analysis of the issues involved. Then as now the free trade argument had many detractors but the authors of this paper favor dropping the coal duties. The United States and Great Britain signed a fisheries treaty in 1854 but a provision on dropping the duties on coal was not included. OCLC locates only three copies of this rare report.
