‘HIE LIVE FOX EXHIBITION.

Our foxinen are all interested in the big live fox exhibition to be held in Montreal on the 24th, 20th and 26th November, and many of them are getting their foxes in readiness for it, the entries closing on November 1. As frequently mentioned in previous references this exhibition is under the auspices of the Conservation Commission at Ottawa and is the first definite step towards the real conservation of the fox lll(Il.lSl.'l‘_\'. The idea is to boost the trade, to create an interest in and stimulate the public demand for fox fur. Montreal furriers are taking a great interest in the coming exhibition, the first of its kind ever held in Canada, if not in the world. The furriers are put- ting up an exhibition in connection with the live stock show and will exhibit fur garments in all the latest and most attractive designs. making a spec- ialty of fox furs. This alone will be a great attraction and will do much t0 set the pacein fashions.

It is hoped our province will make a showing worthy of the name it has. won throughout the world as the birthplace of the industry’ and the own- er of the majority’ 0f silver foxes in captivity All nec- essary facilities for the safe transportation of the fox cs have been provided and the Montreal end of the exhibition will do everything possible to make it the success it deserves to be, but if we want any help from this show we must help ourselves by exhibitiing our foxes and taking an interest in the exhibition.

TIIIC 'I'.\RII~‘I" (QI'I*IS'I‘IO.\'.

Those who are clamoring for a free trade, or a t. zztr free trade policy. are forever declaming against what they call the “high tariff." Let us see llow "high" this tariff (She information is available in the Customs Report.

The total value of all free importatitins into Can zlda for the fiscal year ending March 3i, 1920, was $f~l70,872,966.

The total value of all (lutiable goods inlporteti during the same period was $693,643,211. ‘

The total amount of duty collected on these goods wtas $187,520,613.

Included in the ADOVQ collected duties was the ctlsttims war duties which for that year amounted to a total of $31,369,296.

A little figuring will show that ‘the average rate of duty, including the war tariff, 0n all dutiable im- portations was 27.03 per cent.

The avcrzlge rate of duty on all tlutiable impor- tations less the customs war tariff, was 22.5 p. c.

The average rate of duty on ALLimportations. free anti dutiablc. after dcdtlctiilg the war tariff, was 14.66 per cent.

It will be rememberctl that the war tariff WZIS abolished on May l8. 1920.

A protective tariff of lititi p. c. as it SldlldS t0- flit)", can certainly not be called “higll."

Our tilrifl‘ is a ].‘l‘t)l0L’ll\'C one t0 the extent of 14.06 pcr cent. Now‘, what Is the purpose of it pro- cctive tilriff. '

Primarilyg it is to diminish as far its [iossiblc tlic lmptlrtiltiolt of goods from foreign countries which can be produced at home. 'I'llc necessity‘ of keeping our inlportzttions at as low a level as possible. consist cnt with 0111'eXllflflillltlllS, has D6811 well exemplified during the past two years when our adverse balance 0f trade reduced the value of our dollar to about 8t) cents in the United States. '

Another purpose provided for in our tariff sys- tem is to facilitate the itnportati0li' of i‘d\\' tnaterials for tnunltfzlcttlring‘ processes which cannot; be produc ed at home.

Another purpose served by the tarifi‘ is to eit- ctittragc the tnanttfztcttlre of goods at home. to give cmploylncnt to Cilnadians in Canadian factories and to make (‘ilnatla as nearly as possible a self‘ contained nation.

The (‘itnadiatt protective tariff has been in op- eration for over forty ycztrs. In that time there has been a wonderful growth in agriculture, in uianufac- turiitg", in forest and tninerzll production and in fact in all the activities that g0 towards making a country} great. Canada has grown great during the short p61‘- iod of forty two years very largely because 0f the pro tectivc tilriff which shielded its ytoutig industries from unequal and killing competition. Yet we are a young tuition of eight million people competing with a nation 0t" onc hundred and ten million PQOIJIQ just across the border.

Because of our protective tariff policy over two million (Yanadiitits are supported by wages [Mild by Canadian factories. Over eighty per cent of all tho produce of Canadian farms is consumed in Caitada. Over 600 branches of United States factories have lo- cated in Canada, attracted by our raw material and our labor and trade advantages.

We are still far from being able to hold ottr own .in competition with our big neighbors. Last year each. dnhabitant of the United States bought‘ on an aver-t |age $4.41 worth of Canadian goods while each (Jan- adian bought'$100.26 worth of United States goedsf

The Iliiitetl States purchases from Canada were large l_v raw mitterial. Is it any wonder the rate of exchange is against Canada? I-f these things are so under what we call our protective tilriff what would ltappen fi we abolished the tariff? .
