Toronto Weekly•Sun. l'he income riecei. ed hy the Dymio- ion Government in the forst of cus- toms revenue is just'as surely* Ilse on he individual as is that collected hruugh the municipal tax gatherer. G. 13. Ryan, the large dry goods mer- chant et Guelph, put this fact very clearly before toe Tariff Couyuiilwion a year ago hest fall. Mr. Ryap said that he had himself been for years an un- paid collector of Dominion taxis. Twenty-eight to thirty per cent. of the price paid by a pour woman for a piece of flannelette or print dress goods bought at his counter was, he said, due to the tariff imposed by the Dominion Government on iwppoorted ,;.tole of that class. This addition to the fair market price is present. The `tun -tray told, whether the goods are imported ui home -wade. If goods ur imported twei,ty-eight to thirty per coot. of the price goes to the Gov- ernment ; if they are home-made it mows to the protected manufacturer. Because this is so the sum paid in pub- lic revenue does not begin to represent the whole amount of the burdens iny- posed by means of the tariff. Fifty uiilliut, dollen) are collected by the D - ion Goteminent in the full year in the form of taxation on imported ,ponds ; nearly two hundred millions ire received by home maoufacturerq, in addition to fair .market price. as a result of the exactions the protective tariff enable. these manufacturers to levy upon the home consumer. Still the protest against tariff exec - tions is as a Summer breeze to the hurricane that is raised wheu a few •lunars are iulded to the levy nude by it municipality. Why is this ?
