lSin-lnytiut‘ editorial comment ,tm my letter in _\'0llI‘ issue of the 13th inst you stale that the sale-s lifX now in force in (‘zututla was nilong the lines of an excise tariff on goods manufactured and con- sumed in Canada such as I adva- cote. In my opinion it is a tiiffcrent thing altogether and its action is entirely different. ' On Imported goods the sales tax is 2 1-2 per cent, on goods manu- factured in Canada the tax is 1 1-2 per cent. Now the effect of the sales tax is that it» gives the (‘nn- adlan manufacturers an Pxtrn pro- tection 0f 1 per cent, whereas. my plan of an ‘excise tariff wonltl tnske the flnnadlun manufacturer yield up to the public treasury an amount cquutl, at least tn two- iltirdts of the tiusloms tariff that protects them. _ ' - My object in writing thtsv- let- ters is not from a political or con- lvtruversnl motive at all, but to point out a reasonable way to sup- mv IIIt‘ public trcastiry “llli nutcn needed funds to pav the heavy debt with which Canada is burdened.
