They have x duced the sales tax by the amount they had added to it. They reduced the tariff Just enough to permit of the importation of foreign industrial and agricultural products and so ruin our Canadian markets. But there must still be some very con- siderable reductlon iln taxes before we can ‘live comfortably s‘ ‘de the United States and keep our people from sliding across tho boundary. The iUnited States recently re- vised its income tax, o tax which even bqfore revision was much lower than ours. - l The following few comparisons will show where tho Canadian tax payer stands as compor .2 with hio neighbor across the lino.

Obviously the goods will be made in the States by work- ers resident there, receiving and spending their wages there and paying taxes there. They will buy their food and clothing there, and by so much build up the great home market there for the farmers and tradesmen of the States. Clear- ly it will be a. good thing for them all round on the other side of the border. There will be more work more wages, a better home market there and the balance of trade in favor of the States will go on in- creasing by leaps and bounds more rapidly than in the past. That cannot be o good thing for Canada or for Canadians. It means less employment, less wages in Canada, fewer people and lower wages on this side of the border, a smaller home market for all Canadians who have any thing to sell, s heavy and increasing balan- ce of trade against us. it means a continuance of the bleeding exodus that is depopulatlng the rural districts of the Dominion. The workers will leave a country where work is slack and go to a nearby land where work is more plentiful and there is no low of God or man to prevent them. The example of the United King- dom as a. free-trade country is cited by the advocates of o low tariff, because for a time sho prospered tinder free trade, and the argument hos o certain appeal to Canadians descended British stock.

McDonald had refused to pay the" Union rate oif wages for the discharge of a cargo oi cement from the schooner Annie McDonald and that I had undertaken the job at less than the Union rate, This is incorrect. I do not know what trans- pired between Mr. McDonald and the Union officials but lie asked me if lcould got sufficient men to unload the schooner at ‘50 cents per hour for shed work. l said I could and got five men. On the wharf i met the Union Tooter and asked if the Union was prepared to do the work and at what rate. He told me they would do the shed work at 50 cents an hour, which is their scale according to schedule. i told him he had better get his men to come down and do the job. and also ask- ed Mr. McDonald to come to the hart to accept this arrangement. ut when he appeared on the scene and adred the Union men whether they were prepared to accept the 50 cents. which is their scale, they changed their minds and refused to work ht their own scale. i then un- dertooik wdo the work at the ii-n- ion rote and have been doing no u till now. - The Patriot's article says we are unloading on t-he sling only three bogs as ogainot six bags by Union ‘iobor. lifbhis More correct then ac- oordlngia; one; of their oviii men's fignringeooh man would be earning $18.40 for a seven hour day, as for the first Devon hours we hove been ‘ we earned ot the rote of 00.20. t tlie Patriot is not correct it is cnaiiorhary to unload only five boos of a time with homepovrer Knife we, with the schooner’: gaso- no poworolifporry four h o suc- oooluilv with tiiio sling. , The Patriot claims the efficiency of the Union mop 1| superior to mm on ties-round thot they saloo- dsd and loaded tho Win no yoptor- iioy between»! h. n1. and p. loThqi Patriot did not mention that 0. imenor ovoi- were omfiiovod iii‘ t a on! u Infant five employed-la discharging tho Analo Melinda- t the fifties, when we had Free Trade-or rather a tariff for re- venue only. It reminded me of u who was born and brought up in this city-that he, when a boy. had "seen the shutters" up in every store around Queen Square." That was, if I ‘remember rightly in the year 1858. That was the time when oats couldn't be sold for the British market at two shillings a bushel or potatoes at fifteen pence. That was the time wh there was no home market wort while for any- thing except a few potatoes in Halifax, and when many persons in this Island subsisted on potatoes and herring-for the most. part. I can, myself, I member when in the sixtl and early seventies. fsrmers- were glad to get rid of their surplus potatoes at fourteen and fifteen cents a bushel and when such times prevailed as the young men of these days have no conception of. That was before Protection built up Sydney, New Glasgow, Moncton and other near- by industrlal towns, affording a Home Market. To compare those old times with tho present day times, and to set forth the desir- ability of o return to them, looms to me very ridiculous. The proper way to act in the matter of Canada's fiscal policy is l think to take note of existing con- ditlono and the experience of the neighboring United States in like circumstances, as well as o our own experience under Free rode or a tariff for revenue only in- cidentiy and moderately and under the Protective tariff of the past forty years. An ounce of fact lo in such a casorborth more than a pound of theory. . _'l‘o ma lt seams clear that if Canada is to prosper is competi- tion wlih the United States and the world, her industries must for, some years to come be protected by moons of-ths tariff and l otablo Home Market for form produce built up. , I am, Sir, eto " AN OLD P.
