In The Letter Box A DEFENSIBLE TARIFF A protective la-rilf function in two wuv. It may protect Ihe home market for the- sale of ar llclj which are the product of certain indulrie. by the imposition of a lax on lmllar imported article. i;jii may be, called the protective feature of a tariff and r the one treed by protectiotilt.

Hie bonus foal lire may be de flneil a Ihe legalized privilege roiiferre.1 by a tariff, nf Increas ing the price of a protected ar- icle. to a level which . corres pond with the value of a slmilnr imported article In which Ihe tariff rule has been added. While Ihe protective feature of a Inrlff i a eeeary evil, Ihe jonu feature should be wholly, ttr at leat partly eliminated by the imposition of n general excise lax on protected article. As an instance, uimn the product of an industry which is protected by an effective Uirifr rale On a similar Imported nrjlclej should le placed nn oxclaryflo the amount;-pf tljf thriff.'ra. in cxr ne-or in per cent 01 mo tmi. of such imported article. The imposition of an exc,ise,lax would in nowise interfere with the protection of the home market, but would protect the consumer against legilized exploitation for Ihe benefit of private partie,s ' a ... . . An liiusirauon Owing lo the confusion Ihal exists regarding Ihe operation of n tariff, the necessity fur an ex rise lax on protected article tuny be best shown by means of nn illutrution Any article upon' which there is n duly in excess of In per cenl ad valorem (or the equivalent to specific duty) may be used as an exnmplc, but n Certain motor company, tiavirw factories on both sides of the international houudnry line nnd which produce aulomohlles In' each factory of Ihe same quality, will besl serve the nurnose On Ihe American sldo n car In valued nl .?lln roughly speaking on Iho Canadian side a similar car cols sf 50 1, Ihe Increase In Ihe price being due In. the Imposition of a duly reaching as high a 35 per cent ml valorem On Imported automobiles. Thi tariff rale Is Included in Ihe price of the car on Die Canadian side, which the buyer mul pay, and Ihe manufnclurer hcncNI led to Ihe extent of $154 on eacl car, solely because of the hlgl ik pipe jolacco OLD CHUM durin? Ihe pat four year. Even R: H duly on automobile.. Now in order to clearly understand the benefit derived from a high duty by certain industrialists on ac count of the bonus feature of a tariff, let us assume thai Ihe duty on automobiles entering Canada M suspended. In Ihal case Ihe present price of auto mobile in Canada couldn't be maintained over night for (hey would be repulated by Ihe free competition of Ihe world. The Canadian could buy a car as cheaply a Ihe American and Ihe factory on the Canadian side would loose o gift of $131 on each car because of the suspension of the duty on automobiles. Are We Intelligent? The toleration of such a gift seems lo be a serious reflection on Ihe economic intelligence of those who submit lo such con- lilions, in order lo justify the imposition of tariff rates, an ex cise tax on protected articles oual lo the duty on similar im ported articles is necessary and fair and works out Ihtis: In the case of the car referred to, the increase in price due to the tar iff rate of 35 per cent ad valorem amount lug lo $151 would hy means of the Imposition of an exrise tax reveri lo Ihe povern- menl. The buyer of the car would have to pay tlie same price Uiul s 1 5 1 of that price would go Irt-llift.govvfom.cul .1 a tax miner than to the manufacturer. In the case of the motor company it would pay to the government a tax equal to the amount it had increased ithe price of llu car because of the protective duty. and its home market would still be protected by n 33 per cent ad valorem duty Industries are essential lo Ihe prosperity of the country and for Ibis reason a price-raising sun-sidy of 10 per cent of the value of protected articles, based on the declared value of the foreign made article at the port of entry should bo followed. Then an excise lax lo cover Ihe difference between Ihe 10 per cent exemp Hon and the full protctive tariff rale should be levied. Hy using the parable of the car mentioned Ihe effect will be shown thus: The foreign car at the port of entry is valued al -ft 10. The value (not priced of the Canadian made car not greater. The excise tax exemption of 10 per cenl of the value of the Canadian ear Is $H which is (he bonus to which the inannfaeturoi. may be entitled car amounts to ? 1 10 (govern ment revenue! rather tlran anl enforced gift lo the industrialist, There is not one high larift advocate on the stump today who will dare attack this scheme publicly .but who will continue his attempts In deliver Hie people to the privileged interests, who feast upon and devour Iheir substance. f). J. SULLIVAN. HOSPITAL BLANKETS Editor Daily New. In. your issue of 2Uh Instant there appeared a letter signed by the Retail Merchant's Association criticizing the Hospital Hoard for bavin? purchased blankets from Ihe Hudson's Hay Company II is regrettable that the As socialin.n did not take the trouble to properly inform themselves as to why the order was given before, rushing into print, and furthermore if I hey had a grievance why did they not voice it direct to the board? The facts are these: At a meeting of the Hoard held on September 16, an appropria tion was made for blankets and prices were invited from both wholesalers and local retailers, In response.' thereto samples and prices were received from local mcrcbnnls ns.'.wellis. v;iioIeiVW and in order that the noarq might be better qualified to pass on the merils of Ihe .various gar ment submitted, they enlisted the services of a local citizen with practical knowledge of Ihe drvEoods business. Afler careful examination it was decidr ed that the blanket offered by the Hudson'. Hay Company wa not only Ihe cheapest of it. kind but very much superior in qual ity lo nhy of the others, but, having- in mind the principle that all things being equal or "nearly so Ihe business should remain in town, they sent the blanket next in Order of quality to the laundry along with Ihe Hudson's Hay blanket. The result of that ex periment left no doubl in , the minds of the Committee of the relative value of Ihe two blan kets and the order was placed accordingly The Hospital Hoard believes In buying at home and lo show that this policy is carried out il need only be said that aside from tho purchase of surgical and medi cinal supplies over 90 per cenl of the Hospital's requirements are bought in town. At tlie same The effective tariff rate on n;iime Ihe Hoard feels that In the ear Is as high a 35 per cent ad interests of the Citizen general valorem which, when tho 10 perjly Ihey must Insist on wholesale cent exemption Is deducted prices and it Is the duly of Ihe leaves 25 per rent, of Iho value! retailers a well as others lo .see upon which to place an excisejlhat they receive them.
