It is claimed by some Conservative papers that the party now in power stole the clothes of the old govern- :ment, and that the principle of pro- tection is still recognized. This is :absurd, as a careful reading of the -new bill will show a great measure of reform. The duties on British goods are reduced 12% per cent. at once, and 25 per cent. after the first of July of next year. The taxes on binder twineand barbed wire have been reduced and within a. your will disappear altogether. Coal oil has been mduced one cent a gallon. Iron and steel duties are reduced by from $1.00 to $1.50 a ton. Corn is placed on the free list and the flour duty is reduced. There is a reduct~ ion equal to 22 per cent. on the duty on refined sugar. Duties on the raw .material of many kinds of farm (necessaries are reduced. It is true :the duty on some articles which may he classed as luxuries, such as liquors and tobaccos, is increased, but the general tendency is downward, andI in most cases ad valorem are sub-i stituted for specific duties. The Mail and Empire makes itseif ridiculous by declaring that the new hrifl“ bill discriminates against Britain. . ,That ‘ journal argues .position, moved an amendment in favor of an immediate reduction on Britisn goods, which; however, was 'voted down by the Conservative party. Without insinuating that the late government had any intention to discriminate against the mother country, it must be admitted that, practically, it was discrimination against her. Last year our products to the value of $66,690,288 were sent to Great Britain, which for the ‘most part Were landed free of duty, whereas on the $44,448,410 worth of goods sent to the United States from "here a heavy duty was imposed. In the same year we imported from Great Britain $32,919,742 worth of goods which paid imposts amounting to $7,358,514, While from the United States we purchased $58,574,024 worth of goods on which was im- posed only $7,767,922. The above: shows that Britain actually paid into our treasury about 22 per cent. of their goods, while the duty on the American goods was only 13 per cent. ,l 1the strongest opposition from the ‘CODSUlllQI‘ of these goods, or probably from a manufacturer in a different industry. The new bill, although not possessing all the features that free traders would wish for, is a step in the right direction, and is looked 'upon with much favor by the heads 6f many departments. Probably the most popular feature 'of the new bill, from a Liberal stand: point, is that which gives free trade England an advantage over nations which have high protective walls. This preferential arrangement is not intended for Britain any more than ffor'the United States, or any other iiation that chooses to trade with us on equal terms. This preferential plank in the Liberal platform is by no means new, as Mr. Davies, some four or five Years ago, when in op- It; would be too much to expect that [the new tariff bil'l introduced by the Dominion Gwernmcnt would be ac- ‘Cclntable to all classes. It would be very easy to frame a tariff which would give general satisfaction to 'the manufacturers of a certain line or goocis,'b11t this might: meet with the strongest opposition from the consumer of these goods, or probably House Wautm Chan 36 Chan ge 13; i3?
