and Canadiati consumers would na-
turally buy the cheaper article. This
is Exchange, as we vie* it..
The next statement he makes has
nothing whatever to do with the Can-
adian situation, but we will touch on
it. "He, has specialized labor
market. The American production
per man 'is from 2 to 3 times as
great as is e.g., British production,
(Grey and Turner).". He surely does
not intend to place Canadians in the
same category and insult the • Can--
adian workmen by inferring that a
Yankee workman can turn out more,
per unit than a Canadian. If so, we
would give him the lie direct, for
we personally know different.
Once more. To be sure there is a
tariff of 25 to 35 per cent. Upon his
products entering Canada, but sueh
a high duty is on unnecessities, which
the Canadian people have absolutely
no business buying in the U. S. A.
Now as to unnecessary articles, does
he consider the following items un
necessities:
Lumber, 32%; nails, 674; window
glass, 42 tt ; paints, 37% ; stoves,
32%; pots, pane, tea kettles, 42%;
flannel underwear, mitts, hats, caps,
etc., 4234; boots, shoes, 3734; cottons,
32%.
Our friend may consider them un -
necessities, but to us, well we would
look funny walking down the streets
without clothes on, and we are afraid
Mr. Whitesides might not take kindly
to the idea, but would be willing to
pay 4134 per cent. duty on a good
lock to keep us in the cooler. Or
again, if we threw the tea, kettle and
frying pan out of doors and told the
good woman of the house they were
unnecessities, she would transfix us
with a ,scornful eye and reply; "Then
it is unnecessary for you to eat,"
Now for a question: would G. B. W.
place a prohibitive tax and shut the
door of trade on these things he is
pleased to call unnecessaries so as
to make the people bow down their
heads to such Canadian concern as
the Patten Company with their 31
per cent. profits?
Respecting his arguments on free
trade in England, am reserving that
for a special article to appear short -

DOES PROTECTION PROTECT
Opening the edition dated Novem-
ber 26th, we were pleased to set that
the first article on the tariff, "Does
Protection Protect," had drawn a re-
ply, and we did not mind .the few
bricks heaved at the writer. In fact
we preferred them to stale eggs.
Our friend, G. B. W., says he "chanc-
ed to observe" the article in question
and judging from his replef we agree
with him. He certainly did not read
it very carefully. There was one
thing that struck us with amazement
. and that was the evident attempt to
discredit P. W. by claiming a con-
tradiction in the phrases, "Howling
Success" and "Pitiable admission that
protection does not protect." Now,
if he had read the article thoughtfully
he would have (observed) that in
the ease of howling success the
author was writing of a small but
powerful class to wit The C. M. A.
in the phrase' "Pitiable admission,
etc," lie was referring to the nation
as a whole,. but perhaps our friend,
• G. B. W, considers that the C, M. A.
commise the nation, and the working
people as just nonentities. There is
another thing we would like to call
his attention to and that is the sin
of "garbling." In future we would
like this writer when quoting F. W.,
to quote the sentence in full. The
passage we are referring- to is this,
"Canadian Manufacturers are not
back numbers as the writer says."
Now we want him to repeat - the
statement but in full, and let the
readers of this paper see if it does
not put a different complexion on
the rnatter.
Resnecting the article in general
Mr. G. B. NV% d id not attack the Notesee-Mr. Andrew Boa, a Albert
College, 'Belleville, will. occupy the
. stand the writer took on this one
pulpit in „ S. Andrew's church on
phase of the tariff. He just waved

Died In The West.—Many friends
here will sincerely regret to learri'of
the death in Kindersley„ Sask., on
Friday, December 17th, of Mary
Elizabeth Mellis, daughter of Mr.
Thomas Mellis, of this village, and
beloved wife of Mr. RoY Furrey, aged
37 years and 20 days.. The body is
-being brought east for interment and
the fitneral will be' held from St.
Andrew's C:hurch here on Friday, De-
cember 24th, at one -p.m., interment
being Made in Baird' s Cemetery. The
eincerest sympathy of all is extended
to the bereaved husband and famjly.

his hand and brushed it iaside. Now,
We would like Ihiin to write another
article, attacking the line of agru-
ment presented in that first article,
and: for -fear he has lost the paper
or .does not understand the subject
matter of that azticle, we are going
•ato give him an outline to. Work on,
so here it is:
lat. -Protection was originally, eon-
cehred' -to Iteep the Canadian market
flor the Canadian 'manufacturer by
I. taxing foreign goods, so that they
would be dearer than Canadian art-
eclaseof the same class, and therefore,
-the, people would bay the .cheaper
goods.
•
2nd. To -day Canadian and Ameri-
can goods are sold over the same.
counters at the same price.
3rd: When 0, consumer has the
choice of goods, Canadian or Arneri-
can at the same priee, protection, as
originally -conceived,- falls. down.
Now, Mr. G. B. W., go to it and
let us see if you can successfully
combat these simple statements.
As to the remainder of G. B. W.'e
article it would be useless to follow
him through all his. reasopings as he
has taken up a I.of of space dealing
with subject matter which will be
handled in further articles, and as
., it will be handled in. sections, ali he
need •to do will be to watch the fu-
ture editions of The Huron Expositor.
In the meantime we would like to
ask him a few questions, and hope he
will be able to supply the informa-
tion we desire. He states that "the
American manufacturer has less
initial cost in placing his product
upon the Canadian market than the
Canadian," Question—What does he
mean by "initial cost?" If he is ac-
`quainted with American methods, cost
of manufacture, overhead charges,
etc„ - or any other initial cost, the
information would be doubly weletoma.
We seek truth and light, and such
light might aid us in our search and
will he thankfully received.
Again, he states "his: currency,
(American), is at a premium with
that of his rival, (Canada)." The
italics are ours and considers this an
advantage. Now, we cannot follow ,
his reasoning on this, the exchange
question. It seems to us ridiculous
in the extreme for where a country's
currency is at a premium that very
premium works havoc with his ex-.
port trade. Now to bear this out e 4:ROMARTY

voices. will render this fine selection
that has been given in the largest
cities and pronounced the finest of all
Christmas numbers; and if given on
a week day evening we would call for
50 or 75 cent tickats, which would be
good value at that, for all lovers of
good music, as the choir has given
intech time to its preparation. As the
choir is well balanced in all its parts
and has many fine voices, 'including
a splendid leader and pianist, who has
few equals, the epacious church Will,
no doubt, be packed, and it is hotied
that the collection will be a very lib-
eral one in return for such a splendid
cantatta so appropriate to the Christ-
mas season, and opening with a grand
Christmas chorus', and will take con-
siderably over an hour to render.

pound to -day, but demand for common totes
e was entirely lacking. Most of the cattle of-
fered to -day were of better than average
quality. Trade was brisk owing th keen de-
mand following several successive days of
light consignments and the day's supply was
cleaned up early. The chief subject of dis-
cussion by the commission znen was 'the
threatened emergency tariff on Canadian
cattle going to the United States. Dealers
adnutte4 having seen business in export
cattle done under a 20 per cent. ad valorem
tax, but doubted if home demand could get
so poor that any exporting would be done
Under a e0 per cent. tariff. .
Calves were a very light offering to -day,
and the quality was on the whole, Poor -
Tops' brought 2834eents per pounds, which
is kteady with last week's close, `but .lower
grades were a little easier than last week.
I
Trade n lambs opened brisk with best
quality Iambs bringing 121/2 to 13 cents per
pound. Busins fell off, however, when the
buyers began to go over the poorer grades
und the rnarket closed at around 12.' cents
with, a weak tone. The top for lambs to-
day was 1234 cents per pound for one deck
sold by J. B. Shiehis and. Son. Sheep were
steady to a bit stronger in price, good handy-
weiglits ' bringing 7 cents very generallY.
The hog market . was very uncertain, the
*prices paid - for small lots ranging all the
way from 1511t to 161,e cents per cwt., fed
and watered. -
Sixteen cents Der pound might be considered
a fair average, on the small amount of busi-
ness done, but packer -buyers were making no
quotations. It is not likely that a definite
hog price will be established 'until the end of
the week.
The receipts to -day were 110 cars, with
1,613 cattle. 84 calves, 1,281 hogs, and 2095
sheep and lambs..
