LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
1 !
the “ Patriot.”
i “Business” Replies to '
Sim, — }you published in Saturday's issue. | lett out the first sentence I could have con- a it a most courteous and gentlemanly ‘rep to him the invitation, “Come, let us reason I feel that when a people have reaily the interests of their country at heart, and are not blinded by — prejudices, much ‘good can be accomplished by their taking up the principal quaticns and endeavoring trom both sides to, as quietly and intelligently as | possible, sift ‘them thoroughly, letting all the bey possible shine on them, until a sound el healthy conclusion is arrived at.
In answering my letter, the Patriot has not contradicted any statement made by me, but has, on the coutrary, admitted the fact for jwhich I contended, viz., that the American iconsumer in reality pays the licents per bushel daty which their government charge !on our potatoes, So far so good. Then, far- /mers, why do you grieve sv much over a "duty ' which, if taken olf, would be no beneiit to ‘you? Now the Patriot has etfectually re- | moved what has been used fora long time as ithe principal lever, at least so it has been
| with the farmer, free trade with the United |States. But after admitting this, the Patriot
draws from it certain erroneous conclusions | when he says, ‘Io is also true in the case of P. i. Isifind iarmers buying a mowing ma- chine,” and again says, ** Ihe same reasoning applies to sugar, cotton, boots, fishermen’s outfits, etc.” Now {shall endeavor to show that these are not parallel cases. In the first place, we can manufacture mowing machines, cottons, bovts, etc., fuily as cheap in Canada as they can inthe United States. In fact, experience shows that in most cases we manu- facture cheaper in Canada. Take, for in- stance, the case Which is cited, and what are the facts? ‘Lhe 35 per cent. duty on mowing machines simply gives to the Canadian manu- facturvrs almust wmouopolyoi tie home market. Now, when I use the word ** monopoly,” yoa think I make quite a confession. Weil, we'll see. ‘The case stands this way: Instead of American manufacturers cutting into one an- other and making the competition lively in Canada with the products of their own coun- try, they aregreceiving all .the benefits trom iabor, etc., besides, taki ng the money outof our 7 to pay them, the 35 per cent. duty
has prevented their inachines almost altoge- ther irom being imported into Canada. Buvit has not, nor is it in a free country, within the bounds of legislation to so leyislate as to pre- vent our own manuiacturers from rushing in tu such an extent as vo, using a vulgar phrase, cut er own throats, by making competition so kecnas to be actually selling mowing ma~ chines at « less figure than they should wet in order to piace the business in as sure a footing
agit should he. One oi your strong Grit ‘friends told the writer, in support of his argu- ments for free trade, that one of the largest
manufacturers of meuwing machines in Canada had failed some three times since the introduction of the National
Policy. However, be that as it may, it is a fact that for as good a machine as can
sanded here duty paid from the United States ior 890, one can be had here for $60, Compe- ‘ition has been so keen amoug our manutac- turers as to put the price of machines so low that they could not now be imported to make it pay under the old Mackenzie warilf of seven- teen and a half per cent. Now, if it was ab- solutely necessary we should have them ma- chines (as it often is with the United States and our potatoes) and we could not manufac- ture them in our own country in sufiicient quantities to keep up with the demand, then assuredly we would have to pay the duty over and above the cost, Or again taking you on the other hand, ifthe mowing machine shops of} Preseri

the shape of beards, iron, paint, ete.. and that after the lupse of a certain time said machine | Shop might turn out from one to two hundred machines, according to weather or some other ungovernable power, then it would staad thus: A year they would havea guvod crop, more than they required for their own use, and were compelled to sell them for whatever they might bring within a short limited time, as is the case with our potatoes, then, under those circumstances, if the duty was taken oif we would get them that much less, and the manufacturer or producer would not get the benefit of it; but, as it is now, a factory that used tv count on shipping to Canada, say a hundred machines, sumply make that many Jess, and our menand our capital supply the required number, 1 might go into the different other articles named, and prove clearly that they are cost- ing as low under the National Policy as they would under free trade. After all have we not free trade within ourselves? The Amer- ican industries have been protected to such an extent that they are now able to compete with the world. Now, should you remove all duties which exist between us, do you tell me that the duty which would then exist against English manufactured goods would make the cost to us or the United States any more? No, certainly not. It would be like, as you say, our putting a duty on American pota- toes, we don’t want them—-and the Americans don't want the English goods, and they never think about the duty on such articles as they manufacture themselves. Now we don't want American goods to come in competition with our own, and shortly we will never trouble asking ourselves whether or no there is such a thing asaduty. I admit that where a duty is placed on anything we don't produce or manufacture in sufficient quantities to suppiy the demand, the consumer then undoubtedly ES that duty, such as I referred to in my t, a duty ontea. I have always maintained and do persistently maintain, that where an industry is fostered to such an extent as to low it to get a firm foothold, competition is bound to regulate the price. Shail be glad to hear from you again Mr, Patriot
BUSINESS.
The Political Crisis.
—
TO THE FARMERS OF P. E. ISLAND.
A few days ago the Patriot newspaper stated that the $500,000 which was granted by Sir John Macdonald to Prince Edward Island as the resuit of the trip to Ottawa recently by Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson, was on the condition that it should be ratified by a vote of Parliament at the next session of the House of Commons. This is quite true, and it there- fore behooves every elector of Prince Edward Island, independent of party, to cast aside all prej judices and rally to the support of the men who will stand by Sir John. If the ** Old Chieftain” is returned to power, the money is ours ; there is no doubt about that. But if he sheuld be defeated, there 1s nothing for Prince Edward Island only ‘* Davies’ Old Tax Curse.” Let the farmers of the Island just think a moment. The interest of $500,000 at the low rate of 4 per cent., per annum, means $20,000 a year for all time to come. That is just about the amount of money L. H. Davies used to grind out of the people every year in direct taxation after paying the tax-gatherers 26 per cent. of jthe amount which they assessed, It is true that for the last five or six years the present Local Government have not
the people one cent of direct taxation; but have instead, collected the honest debts due us by the Dominion Government; but still we do not forget those dark days of taxation and dissatisfaction which overshadowed this Pro- vince when Davies was in power. And in order that we may never return to them, let every man interested in the welfare of Prince Edward Island and who wishes to avoid tax- ation in the future, vote for the men who will support Sir john Macdonald. The policy of the Grit Party is a policy of taxation, and they do not deny it. Mr. David Laird, one of the most prominent men of their party, said in the Market Hall in Charlottetown not very long ago, that the people of this Island should be taxed from $240,000 to $250,000 a year; that it was ridiculous to think of running the Local Government without taxation. When the Grit candidates, Drs. Macltyre and Rob- ertson, were asked by Hon. Seanuel Prowse at a meeting lately held at Cardigan Bridge whether they would support Mr Blake in case he were returned to power, and refused this money to P. E. Island they declined to an- swer the question. Just so! They would support Blake under all circumstances. The fact is, they would sooner see our present Lecal Government driven into taxing the coantry than not; so would Davies & Welsh and Yeo & Perry. They would all rejoice if the present Government were made to tax the people, and they will leave no stone unturned to accomplish that purpose. Farmers of Prince Edward Island beware of them, vote against them every time and avoid taxation. Yours, ete,
ELECTOR. Feb. 10, 1887.
The Grit Circulars.
Sim,—I see that you characterize (and very properly) the Grit circulars, recently issued to the French in Prince County, as
a “Dastardly attempt by the Opposition to win the Election.” They are at their old tricks again. These are the purists who have been cautioning the public, through the Patriot, to beware of Tory circulars,
while at the same time they have been pre-
paring their own. 1 only hope that this circular business nfay recoil against them as it did at the last local election, when the same cry of race and creed was raised by them. There is just one point in your exposure of this outrage, about which I would like to oferan opinion. You seem to think that the Editor of the Pioneer was its author. Well, perhaps he was; but although the hand was the hand of Esau, the voice sounds very much like that of Perry, and 1 trust that the electors of Prince County will make a note of it and govern themselves accordingly.
