WASHINGTON One unanswerable reason why British Columbia needs recip- rocity, is because the tariff has proved a failure to prevent British Columbia and the Pacific States from trading. Above all it has prevented British Columbia from selling to the Pacific States as much as we purchase from them. the possibility of our exports equalling our imports. The tariff has proved a boomerang. her hard. Figures published earlier in the week showed that goods to the value of over $7,000,000 were purchased by British Columbian buyers from the State of Washington during last year, while Washington purchased a little over $4,000,000 worth of goods from British Col- umbia. The tariff was put in force with the object of keeping purchases at home—to ensure that our imports were less than our exports. fact, that as between the Province of British Columbia and the state of Washington, our imports were nearly double our exports, proves that the tariff is ineffective to accomplish its object. made abroad is an evidence of the failure of the tariff to prevent trade from following its natural channel. But who pays the penalty for this breach of the tariff’s object? It is the people who purchase the goods. Columbia who paid the taxes on that $7,000,000 worth of Washington goods last year—not the people of Washington who sold them to us. Like Napoleon who after issuing the Berlin Decree forbidding trade with England, had to purchase British knapsacks and British footwear for his troops to march to Austerlitz to defend the Berlin Decree, so the people of British Columbia after placing a penalty upon Washington goods, go and buy $7,000,000 worth of them— and pay the penalty themselves. Why is it that British Columbia did not sell to Washington last year as much as British Columbia bought from Washington? ee = reason is because the two chief commodities required by Washington from British Columbia, lumber and fish, are both taxed by the tariff makers, The Seattle fishermen find it cheaper to steal our fish, rather than pay a cent a pound duty. The Canadian fisherman cannot sell it there in fair competition. Our lumber too is heavily taxed. Reciprocity will abolish the duty on British Columbian fish, open the markets of the United States, and build up a big fish industry around Prince Rupert. It will also create a great demand for the products of our forests After reciprocity passes, we will buy such foods as we need from ‘Well, Watson, it is on the face BY ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE The explorer took his cigar from his lips and gazed sternly A REMINISCENCE OF SHERLOCK HOLME THE ADVENTURE OF THE DEVIL'S FOOT Copyright, 1911, by the Century Syndicate mean?" “T will tell you,’ gene MESH EN by LARKFORD To be put on the Market along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in the vicinity of Hazelton -:- The First Permanent 2 Townsite sv, fF 3, OR Z \G DE, Wt ZO ( CET ACSC Whe) Washi : : ; i : : of it a not impossible suppo- 1 Hote ashington at reduced prices.
