Manufacturers and tho Preference.
Since first the manufacturers canna
to the Tariff hoard with smiles and
lows to ask for further extension of
fav(nurs, the cry has been for a re-
duction of the extent of the British
t, Preference. Ihn'ing the last few
wr. •ks these sante gentlemen have
been equally ure'ent in their protests
that they have never con•`lerLd for
a second. the idea of doing array with
the British Preference.
Now the British Prefereneo is not
sacrosanct. It is simply a feature of
our Canadian Customs Tariff and
therefore. just as open to attract 0
any other phase of that exceeding
lidiculnus document devoted to the
task of obstructing 1>u0 toe:: There
is, of course. much to be said ,n de-
fence of the Preference. It gives a
tariff advantage to the Mother land.
Thee is in that a sentimental idea
which has a value. Even more im-
portant as I view it, is the fact that
it gives to a country which extends to
us generous treatment in her mar-
kets, a less restricted opportunity for
the sale of her goods in our own.
But the trouble lies in this, The Man-
ufacturers have always arrogated to
themselves about 1)0'- of the pat-
riotism of the Dominion of Canada.
If Ivory Soap contains only 1 -100th
per cent of impurity, t11en our Cana-
dian Manufacturers have certainly
not more than enc, per cent of any-
thing save patriotism in their ana-

gone out of them min having lost a
certain amount of their patriotism
with nothing else in its place they

emptiness, thereby created, causes
therm to protest that they never lost

THE FACTS SPEAK
When the application of the ',Noel -
len alanufacturers was before the
Tariff Board their request read: (See
page 2" re r. No, 42, printed applica-
tion, ('anrdian Woollen and Knit
Goods Manufacturers) "We therefore
respectfully submit that under pro -
t cul l t.e :: t ll ..spill_ our r:etw
materiais the re-establishment of the
general tariff rites is necessary".
Now the re-establishment of the gen-
eral-tau'iff rate is the rate aplicable
to goods entering Canada from fore-
ign countries. In the language of the
application therefore, the applicants
sought to abolish the British Prefer-
ence. That is the inference which
every person present took from the
brief. It was reported in many Can-
adian papers as as application for the
abolition of the Preference. It was
co considered in leading British
papers, If the applicants now feel
hurt because some people took their
application at its face value, they on-
ly have themselves to blame, Surely
however, it is not necessary :for them
to insinuate that a false impression
has been purposely created by those
who are opposed to their application.
The Canadian Textile Journal is the
latest sinner. It says:—
"Obviously, it is opposition tae"sic;
to disparage the very sound rase pre-
sented by the Woollen Industry for
more adequate protection by exag-
gerating or misrepresenting the in-
dustry's attitude and unfortunately,
the impression is somewhat wide-
spread that the Woollen Application
is the initial attack by Canadian in-
I•dustry against the British Prefer-
0nc0."
The fact is that the Woollen Manu'
factures; let their hands and :Hinds
slip when they wrote the application
for tariff increases. Their applice-
tion makes clear the fact that they
wanted the abolition of the Prefer-
ence. They repeat now at this late

But tho Woollen Manufacturers
.-r',• not the only section of the 310n11-
antur.r \ssociation seeking by hn-
dir,•rtieu, the reduction of the British
'•'reference. The Shoe Manut'act-
nrrs ere very clean' and explicit upon
this point. Seetl.on 111 IA of tho

the Shoe Manufacturers was that this
be made to read '2,,;. 'J'hey dill not

rate under which shoes coming Praia
4103s41e countries such as the United
States pay .",0'1, but they did ask that
the rate upon imports from Great
Britain should 1>e increased. 'Fh y
may route forward of course, seri
say that they do not ask the abolition
of the British Preference --- the
change requested consists of dividing
the present Preference by three and
retaining one-third of it and at the
sante time making up by protest, of
affection and loyalty for the more
tangible expression of regard now
:given by a more material form of
Preference.
The Linen Manufacturers also car-
ried :forward the same attack upon
the Preference. In linen fabrics the
rate today is only a little over 10!;',
on goods coming from Great Britain.
The wording of the linen application
for increased tariff protection was ars
"We respectfully respectfully ask that a mini-
mum duty of 30,; ad valorom bo im-
posed on 0 separate Customs class of
f'abric's composed wholly of in part
of flume."
Surely that change implies a very
sharp reduction of the British Pre-
ference or at least it carries with it
the suggestion that if a Preference
were retained while the minimum was
made 80'; the maximum would come
near to the protectionists's ictal of a
tariff gallows -high- that is a tariff'
where anyone importing would be
subjected 10 the scverest penalties
and hanging would hardly be thought
too bad for him.
Honesty Above All Things.
Let us after all„ have a touch of
common honesty in regard to this
matter. We are our own guardians.
If we wish to abolish the British Pre-
ference and remove it entirely from
anadian Tariff policy let us do so
frankly and without circumlocution,
In au flashing sentence in the L1.t'e of
Lord Salisbury, written by his dau-
ghter, Lady Gwenrolon Cecil, there
occurs this sentence:—"A11 unreal-
ity of thought or language stirred
hint to impatient mockery." We can
stand for the honest truth in those
things—away with humbug The
Manufacturers' Association has notli.

ly very seriously injured.
Frank Merton had occasion to go
to the elevator 1'o' some grain but
failed to find Mr. Augustine, al-
though doors were open about the
elevator. At last he climbed -sap to
the, top and found a window knock-
ed out of place and a scantling
across the shaft broken. Other in-
dications showed that Mr.• Augustine
had fallen down the shaft. 31r. Ed -
erten, along with Mr. Macdonald
from another elevator, soon found
the unfortunate victim lying on the
hopper below.
More help was called and the
four -inch thickness of wall cut
through at the ground floor to reach
the spot.
Dr. do Beaupre was summoned
and had Mr. Augustine removed to
Edmonton in an ambulance.
It is thought Mr. Augustine was
attending to a window at the top of
the elevator and in some manner lost
his balance, falling into the shaft.
