A Canadian essay on the decrease of the forests of the United States, is fairly blotted with the tears of the author, over the impending ruin to our country when the timber is all cut away. He thinks it would be much more to the interests of the United States to save their own forests, let the timber come freely from Canada, and let that country become the "dieary waste" from which the United States will be happily safe. All this great blessing will follow by the United States taking off the timber duties. He innocently adds, (this part being intended probably to bring out the Canadian shekels in favor of free trade documents,) "should the reduction of duty be made the Canadian government will be a great gainer if an additional tax be placed on the right to cut timber from the Government lands".
