TMIRSDAY. AUGI'ST 23no, 1900, HE CANADIAN PRO Dre- ER GETS. What •autage does the Canadian • .rodwe tveetye from the present one- sided p .eference,in which exports from • Great Britian vome n at a discount o• f 14 the tariff rate His exports to creat rtau have no advantage there over the exports froaa the United States in any other foreign country. He must compete on equal terms with all these. whilst the exporter front Great Britain has an advantage in the Canadian market of one-balf the duty over all foreign competitors. This advantage extends to all goods partly made in Europe and passed through Great lititaina ou which Brit- ish labor is expended for finishing to the extent of 25 per cent. In this way the door is opened wide to the cheap labor isif. Europe, and to fraid and im- position a every liinth The ouly claim made by the advo- testes of the one-sided preference is that the British puldie will thereby be more disposed to buy their products of Canada than they otherwise esould. To this the answer is obvious. 'rhe British housekeeper going into a shop to puvehitee food euppliea for her fam- ily selects those articles which by gild- ity and price commend themselves to her regardless of the country of their origin. She does not know to what extent she may be benefitted by the Canadian tuftt and does not take that lute consideration in making her pur- chases. Moreover a great deal of the Canadian produce that goes to Eng- land is not sold as Canadian. Much of it sold as English and some of it as American. In limey cases the English shop -keeper does not distinguish in any way between the products of the different countries which supply the British markets. Consequently, even if the British bousekeeper desided to give •Ottuadian Products a prefer- ence, she could only occasionally do so as she wouhl seldom be able to dis- tinguish them from other products. When an Englishmen goes to a baker for a loaf of bread he cannot tell tvb e- • titer it is lnade from Canadian or Am- erican flour, and he is not likely to ask the baker. But if tbe Britisb Govern- ment could collect a duty of five, ten or fifteen per cent. upon all American wheat and flour before allowing it to enter the United Kingdom, while ad- rnittiug Canadian wheat and flour free, there can be no doubt that the Canadian producer would get the ben- efit. mobile.

His annual income equals the receipts of all the crowned beads of Enrope. This is the man wboeu the Liberals have further en- riched by giving the Standard Oil Company a monopoly of the oil busi- ness in Canada. Canada once owned the Yukon gold mines, but Catiadiaxis and outlanders have been allowed to appropriate them the outlanders being in the proportion of 10 to L A royalty of 10 per cent. has been the only return to Canada, --- surely a very inadequate one. Now the government announces that even this tax has been removed, and that in its place an export duty of 3 per cent will he collected at Dawson. To him that hath much shall more be given, scarcely a murmur will be heard. The Deparment of Agriculture is authority for the statement that there are enough men now in Manitoba, to garner this year's wheat crop. The grain has ripened earlier than usual and the farmers having more time can do naost of their harvesting without help. Lastyear 8,000 men were atked •for. The harvest is well advanced in Southern Manitoba, •and is pretty gen- eral throughout the province. Mani- toba, fruit dealers complain, of careless fritie packing by Oatario fruit -growers.
