Macdonald on the Coal. Oil
Duty,
(CONTINUED FROM neer Issue
Now, int rue give you the other side
of the queatiun. Taking the merino oil
in tanks, how touch will it cost 2 Ac 1
(laid Ilefore, coal oil of 7.80 specific
gravity sells to -clay, iu tank -cars in Oil
City, Pennsylvania, at 30 cents per
"• Niue gallon, £•o, b. A tank -car con-
tains 6,200 wine gallons, The cont of
the oil, therefore, is $201.50. Thu
freight on a car of 28,300 (locant 27 1-2
conte per 100 lbs. 'tvofild be $77.82.
The cost of packaged and barrelling in
this country for 129 barrels would be
$216. Nolo, tank•cars contain, as I
said, 6,200 wine gallons, or 5,267 im-
perisl gallons. The duty on this, at
71,5 cents per piton, would be
$872.02, These items make a total of
8777 34, or 15 1-20 cents per gallon,
as against 18 1-7 cents ender the
present system. Or, in other words,
this method of importation would cave,
to the coneutner 3 1-10 'senor on every
gallon imported. Lest year there was
imported into Canada 5,638,000 gal-
lons, tit which rate the yearly r;rtving
to the consumers of Canada, if this
prohibition was removed, would be
$174,778. Fernier, the than; a would
give 'employment to Canadian coopers
in•mtiking 140,000 harrels,the number
which would he required to contain
this quantity of oil. This industry
would give steady employment to 250
men. Labour would he given alio to
the workmen engaged in barrelling. 1
think, in view of these facts, of which
I challenge contradiction, the GOverri-
ment will clearly see it to be its duty
to remove this prohibition, and at
least to allow the American oil to conte
in in tank -cars. But there is another
phase of this question to which I wish
to draw the attention of the House.
I hold that the Government sho'..hld at
least reduce the duty on crude oil.
You well know, Mr. Speaker, that
crude oil is becoming one of the most
important articles in demand in the
country for many purpneea, There is
now a prohibitory duty ou crude oil.
In the United Suites crude oil is sold.
at about 40 er 50 cents a barrel. The
duty en that is 7 1-5 cents, the same
as on refined nil Inspection and
other charges; t,riwg this tut to 9 1-5
cents, or about 900 per cent ou the
value of the oil. The consequence of
that high duty is, tb-tt crude oil is•only
to a very limited extent imported into
Canada. The ih.nport.atiou of crude
oil would he advantageous to the re-
finers of Canaan, Ilecenso It would give.
'them cheaper yaw Material and would
give thew the opportunity to supply
the Canadian market. They could
more easily canhpete with the Ameri-
can refiners, if they got, their raw
material cheaper. 'Thede Ineu would
not be confined to any particular
section of the country ; they could
have their establishment an vwhere,
and they would thus he I,r'ought nearer
to the consumers. Further, there
would be a great advantage to the gas
companies. As you are aware, air.
Speaker. coal -gas is now paestug out
of use, and they are now introducing a
new gas called nater -,as, manufactur-
ed front what i, known as gas oil.
Now, we find they manufacturers of gas

REFUSE CHEAP IMITATIONS
oil throughout the country have been
petitioning the Oovernmerit to reduce
the duty on gee oil, on the ground
that they caunoN produce gas as cheap,,
ly as otherwise they would do, and
they go so far as to say that the Cane
adian iudustry does ' not produce it
euflicient quantity of crude oil to sup-
ply the demand that is male upon
thele, Then again, Mr. Speaker, the
introduction of crude oil free of duty,
or at a much lower duty, would be
advantageous in, this way, that the
lubricating oil which is inanufaeturcd
from petroleum, would be oorSiderably
cheaper in this country and every in*
dustry using lubricating oil would get
that oil at a lower price. This would
benefit a very large number of people.
Various paint nils which are mauufuc-
tared from crude oil also, could be fur-
nished at slower price than, at present.
Again', it would he au• advantage to a
great many people in this country to
get fuel oil. You know, Mr. Speaker,
that fuel oil- is used in many parts of
the world to, generate steam for the
propulsion of machinery. On the
Caspian Sea fuol oil is used to propel
the steam boats. But, to come nearer
home, we find a large number of
steamers on the coast of CAlifurnia us
ing fuel oil. They find it more eco-
notnicel than to use wood or coal.
Moreover, there are thousands of
stationary engines in various parte of
the United States using fuel oil in-
stead of wood or coal. It is found
that one dollar's worth of fuel oil is
equal in steam=pruduciug power to
one-half ton of coal, it being.regarded
its cheaper for that purpose. Now, in
this country we are prokiibited from
importing fuel oil, but it the price of
this material could be reduced, it
would be used very largely in our
various Manufacturing industries and
for steam -boats and stationary engines.
We are handicapped by the duty plac-
ed ou this oil. Now, Mr. Speaker, in
toy opinion the tariff would do the
following things : First, it prevents
its importing in tank -cars and there-
fore burdens the consumer more than
he would otherwise he burdened.
Second, It compels biro to buy high-
priced barrels from the United States
instead of being made in this country.
Third, It takes feone the coopers work
which properly belongs to the people
.tf this country. Fourth, It causes
loss by leakage and by deterioration in
quality. Fifth, The tariff prevents
the refiner from getting crude oil,
that is, cheap raw material.' Sixth,
It increases the price of lubricating
oil. Seventh, It prevents the people
from obtaining a cheap supply of fnel
oil, gas oil, parihfiine wax and many
other things tnatiufactured from the
raw material. Without, detaining the
House much longer, 1 may say that I
think I have brought to the attention
of the Uover•nment three aspects of
this question: First, The high duty on
imported refined miswhich ought to.
be reduced. Second, The very 1ti1„ h
duty on raw material, which, in nay
opinion, ought to. he reduced. Third,
The prohibition of the importation
of oil in tankecars which should be
removed. If they would slake the
chuuges 1 have urged upon thein they
would confer a ;real benefit upon the
consumers of coal oil, in this country,
and I tau sure they would receive the
blessings of the consumers, if not the
blessings of the few. oil men. I have,
shown you that the industry is au
extensive one oriel requires the careful
consideration of its interests. The
Government should consider the in -1
terests of the consumer also, and I
hope that next week,when the Govern-
ment declares its policy on thus ques-
tion, it will be found that it has dobe
something ith the interest of the people
of Canada by reducing the duty on
coal oil.
