HAMILTON PREFACE There is a wide-spread and increasing interest in reci- procity as one solution of the problem presented by the tariff in its relation to trade. This general interest is offered as a reason for the publication of another book so soon after the appearance of Reciprocity, in which Professors Laughlin and Willis have given such a comprehensive treatment of the whole subject. Eleven years ago, Dr. F. E. Haynes published an excellent article on "The Reciprocity Treaty of with Canada"1854 in volume VII of the Publications of the American Eco- nomic Association, November, But in relation to1892. Canada and to Hawaii, both these publications moreof are or less limited in scope, and inasmuch publicas questions importance areof great involved, and as these treaties present so many points of interest to the student of political and commercial history, no excuse seems necessary for considering them both in greater detail than has yet been done. The Treaty with Canada in as it appears in this1854, volume, was submitted to the Faculty of Yale University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in TheJune, 1902.
