but for .argunient's sake. we will, admit.

cost of this. addition to orir po*pulation.
rri the. first place the country -would
lose the; cluty•on $30,000,000 worth 'of
imports,' which at 17-.3. per cent.: would;
be no less than ,five and nr quarter mil-
lions•of 'dollars. That is a pretty -fair •
yearly figure to pay. in order that 25,-
000 hands might be added tn.our manu-
facturing strength, but it is not A112, In;
order to keep out these thirty millions
of 'goods, -the tariff has to be, say
doubled -that is, raised to 35 . per Cent.
That is to say, the consumer would have
to pay $1.35 :for an article, which now
costs $1.17i, or 17,i per whit. mere than
lie is now jjaying. On the thirty nri,i1-
lions which -would be ,nuinufactured
the country, another 1'4 Per cent.; or
five ainleni-ipitirter..iniilione,. would .be'.
paid' in the .aliape of increased prices
Callsed by the protective tariff of 35 per
cent.. Add to tine tlie five and a -
ter nnilions lost, to the country. by the
stoppage of :imports, and we find the...to-
tal cost to Canada for adding 251000

• This is a little too much fee a small

when.. by pursuing nre opposite *course
