Subscribers In Canada $I.00 per year INDEPEN DENT! T Continued from page I If the population had doubled in fourteen years then it would have been reasonable that the Dominion Government should have collected, on imported goods, fifty-four million dollars; but the population of the Domin ion did not double in these four-. teen years, nor it did not in-. crease even by one-third or even by one-quarter, yet the tax ation by means, of duty on im- ported 'goods, has gone from twenty-seven millions in 1896, to eighty-nine millions in 1910. Now, did this increase in duty collected, come about by acci- dent or come about by the na- tural course of events?---).--- It was brought about by a sys- tematic plan, and that systema- tip plan was by lowering the duty in order to increase im- "ports, and by increasing im- ports thus increase the revenue in order that vast sums could be secured for expeditures and for surpluses. Because a high protective tariff has a tendancy to keep goods out of the country and thus to keep down the revenue. A high productive tariff is not productive fo.f -revenue--rWhyi'--. But on the other hand, a low tariff encourages the importing of goods and the increased amount of goods coming into the country increases the te- venue. . Had the Ch vernmenr the same. fcrnd it in r The lowering of duty op many lines ofgoods increased the imports rapidly and the rei- sult was that there was an in- crease in the revenue and al- though the Government spent double the money that the pre- vious Government did, yet the revenue on imported goods was so large that surpldses were left over every year. So rapid has been the in- crease of impbrted goods, and so large has been the revenue which has been collected on these imported goods, that the surplue for the past thirteen years have run into a most appaling amount. The total amount of sur- pluses which the Dominion Government has had in the last thirteen years, amounts to over one hundred and sixty-seven Facts and Fancies. IAS. A.

Two vital 'questions should present themselves to every thinking man, .when he comem plates this enormous amount of surplus. First, where did the money come from-Second, where did the money go to. In reply "to the first question the answer is a simple cue. It came out of the pockets of the people who pay duty on'import ed goods. . Out of every dollar's worth ofl goods which Canada import-, her people pay from fifteen to thirty cents duty. The result is that the whole dollar has gone Out of Canada with the ex- ceotion of fifteen to thirty cents which the Government collects --The foreign country which makes the goods receives the rest. Any reasonable mind see what a bad policy that is-The Government allows the people to send a dollar out ot the country and buy imported goods in order that Government may snatch fifteen or twenty cents asf the dollar is passing by on its way out. Had the duty been forty per cent on a1 these goods, few or any of them would have come into the country, consequently, Canadian money would not have been shipped out of Canada to pay tor them, nor would the Government have been able to snatch its little bunch as the money went by. "a? hy lowering the duty to fir.- teen per cent or lower, importations Wert)- encouraged, while Canadian manufacturers were discouraged and the Government gots its rake off as the money passed out of theNcoun- try.

For every fifteen or twenty cents which the Government secured In revenue, the people ot Canada sent eighty or eighty-tive cents to to"-. eign countries to pay for goods- That is how surpluses cafme from the pockets of the people. The next question is where did the money go to-Chat became of this one hundred and sixty-seven million dollars----) surplus during the hast thirteen Jrears----and echo answers “What”?

"I have been called upo several times to mention the untrithfulness and dishonesty of certan news- papers which are promé>ting the reciprocity agreement, but" I do not think that I have had to tell the public of a more untruthtul or un- fair statment than that which ap- peared in the Toronto Globe 0.1 Thursday, April fr 1911. One sentence, which appeared in a paragraph of a Globe editorial ls the most unreasonable, that Wtt? ever written. In that sentence the Globe makes the statement. that "The United States is no longer e sentially a farming country, a! that the growth of its urban popul tion will ere long place it‘amm the nations,) that do not produ enough food for their own needs. In order that my readers may form a correct idea of the Globe’s untruahfulness, We Will quote the whole paragraph, which is as tol. lows: . The home-market cry is the lat- est and probably the last to be raised against the agreement. We doubt very much whether it will prove ot any value on this side ot the line. The farmers ot Canada have, for a long time, been doing their own thinking on economic questions. They understood perfect ly well the value of the horn'e'mar-. ket, but they know also that iop many years great quantities of Cr,- nadian produce must find markets abroad. They know that the United States is no longer essentially" a farming country, and that the growth of its urban population 'aili ere long place it among the nacons that do not produce enough food En: their own needs. The farmers of Canada know, too, that they are in the best position to supply that need, and therefore, they are very strongly in favor of a p-‘iéy that will let Canadian food pro- ducts' duty free into the United States while duties are maintained against those of other countries. That is a preferred position the farmers understand pretty well al- _ready. The longer the diseussion lasts the clearer will it become that the farmers of Canada have much to gain and nothing to lose by free trade in natural products.
