Some ol our party-political cou- lempnrarlea an in disagreement as to whether or not the present tu-\l.|| In any any rospcns b‘e for the increased cost ol living, As this is a mai~ rcr whiah concerns every consumer ln the land it may very properly he considered by tha prcaa of the country whether Lih~ oral, Conservative or Independent. We have reaohod the conclusion that theta- rlifls a material factor In adv ing tc the coat of living, for reasons which we shall give. , Any one at all lamill~r with the Canadian tarrif is aware that It is mainly an advalorem tariff, that is a tariff based on the value of the goods imported. Speciiic duties, that is duties based on quantities, are the exception rather than the nrle. It is also a well known fact that the importer charges a certain per- entage on the cost ofthe goods with freight and duty added, and that the retailer in turn charges a lsruer perceut~ age on the price which he pays to the wholesale merchant lor his goods. Now let us see how this works out. Take au invoice of imported goods valued for duly at 81(1), rhe duty be- ing 30 per rent. The gdods co>t the importer $1211. L.t ui sup- pose the importer adds a modest i5 per cent for handling and profit rn these goods and this will make the price to the retailer $149.50. The retailer in turn add~, ny, 25 per :cnt tor handling and profit and this makes the price to the consumer 3186.89. Now let us suppose the same goods which formerly_cost $100 have in the foroign market advanced in price to $150. The duty at the same rate of 30 por rent will now be $45, the cost to the importer 8195, and with the importer`s 15 per cent added, the cost lo the retailer will be $H4,2’i. To this the re~ taller will add his Z5 per cent and the cost to the consumer will i-e $?.80,31. Deduct from this the cost of thc ilrst bill of goods to consumer, as above stated.\lB‘i,88, and we lind tha consumer is payinu 893.43 more than boiore. From this $93.43 ws deduct the increas- itnl first cost of 8:10 ln the foreign market and we have 843.43 chargeable to the larili, .the ianpnrter and the retailer. The Gov- I ernment gets $15, or 50 percent more than $195 instead of I5 per cent on $l30,or $9.76 more. sud the retailer gets 25 per cent on $224,125 instead ol 25 per cent on $l49,50 or 818. 66 more. Ol the increased cost $21.08 is directly due to the tariff, of which $15 goes to the Government, $2,25 to the importer and $4.31 to the retail merchanl. Our Liberal friends should not forget what was all along argued by the Liberal leaders and the Liberal press, that the tarlil' on imported goods not only raises the price of such Imported goods tothe consumer, but also to a large extent governs the price of goods manufactured in rhefcouutry. If they will now admit the soundness of this doctrine they will readily :cs that the tariff is at present a very important factor in making blah prices higher all round. VACCINATION. Smallpox exists in every Province oi Canada. As usual, the disease has ns- sumedamild form during the summer and ls becoming more virulent with the approach of cold weather. Ol thc (our cases now in the Quarantine Iiospitai in this City one is very serious and thc patient is not expecied to recover. There. area considerable number of cases PHONE B l - The one known preventive is vaccina- before; the importer gets 15 per cent on" scattered about the country districts off this Province. y tion. The Provincial Government has very properly token action for the general eufnrcementigf the Vaccination Act ol .1@i. The law reqniroi that all nnvscci~ nated persons of the ago of three months or upwards shall be vpoclnated, and that children under twelve years of _ago must be brought by parents ,or auardlans to the proper oiiiner to he vaccinated. ' Parents are liable Itnapenalty of nv dollars in sich ease ol neglect or refusal to :es that their children are vaccinated. Teachers are required to see that no un- vaoelnated child shalr atrend school, and every teacher is liable fa n penalty of live fdollars for-"every case ot neglect or refusal to enforce this provision. There has been shameful laxlty in Can- ada with rcgard to the necessity ol vac- civatlon. The Canada Lancet ailirrns that thrre are more cases ol smallpox now in Toronto than occur in the German Em- pire in a year. This is because vaccina- tion ls rigidly enforced in Germany and neglrc oiiri Canada. The Government is to be commended for the determination to insist on a gen- cral \~.rcciuar.lon.V It ia only In that way that the disease can be stamped out._ It vigorous me raures are not now taken we shall again have the expvricucc of having all churches schools and places of amuse- ment and resort closed to the public. General vaccination is necessary for the preservation of lile, for thc siimplng out ofa loathsome disease, and for maintain- ing our open schools, churches and places l._.___.__1_ Watery Blood Ncfilh are Weak Face ia Pallid You Lack Strength You Look Sicily.
