PUTTY AND LINEN
"Success," said a great man, "cm-
sists in having an unlimited gall
which permits you to ask for the
-moon wkhout a blush." The Can•
adian putty makers are destined for
tremendous suecess, They have been
malting putty for years in the Donis
inion of Canada. The duty on it is
22 t;; ss when it comes from Delgium
and Belgium is our main source of •
Putty, but the Canadian madufae-
turer is not satiefied with that and
so the oher day he came before the
Tariff Board and asked that the defy
be raised to a specific duty of $1.25
per cwt. or equivalent to a rate of
over 03,;-. Think of it! A special
duty of 03te; to protect the menu-
facturere of Canadian putty! in the
old days th re was a tau en window
in Enghte e but the common. sense of
the people outgrew it, but these put-
ty manufacturers actually wanted to
tax the putty in the windows of the
Canadian people in order that :hey
might grow rich thereby.
The Cost
The total production of putty in
Canada is 6,500,00C lbs. The impor-
tation of putty is 637,000 lbe. There-
fore we have total consumption of a
little over 7,000,000 Thee natty ht.
Canada in a year. A duty of 01t -f

would raise putty prices at least one
cent a pound. That MOULDS that if
thee gentlemen got teter rust,
putty- would cost the Canadian pee-
ple about $70,000 a year more than
it would if putty wert imported on
a free trade basis. That is at levet
twice as much as the wages paid for
manufacturing putty in Canada.
Lot us put it on another basis.
The tariff asked_ by the manufactur-
ers would cost us $70,000 a year.

have a proposal to make. Let us re-
move the duty on putty and save the
people of Canada $70,000 a year.
That saving hi seven will pay
far the ree'flenee end ofie, of tee
Canadian Ambassador and taking -in-
to account the interest will leave a
little sum over on which Mr. Massey
might give a dinner to the putty
mekers.
Ah, but someone will say—what
about the Mell who aro engaged in
putty making? Well, the total wag-
es they earn at the tam( is not over
$3,•000. Suppose we continue to
pay them their wages! We have a
saving of $35,000 a year. Taking in-
terest into account, that will pay for

It will save money for the Canadian
people, but it will net make money
for the putty manufacturers tind it
was th putty manufacturers who
brought the case before the Board,
and, taking a rough guess at it,
would say that they have as mach

The belief in protection comes
from a confused mind. No man
whose rnind has not passed through

protectionist. To the believers in

is always at the stem and it's mid-
night when the noon -clay gun is fired.
Take, for instance this, as an il-
lustration of the type of argument,
by the applicants for a higher duty
on linens. They statee tnat the in-
dustry was prosperous when war di-

iately followed this by a table chew-

They presented a table showing re-
ductions in the tariff made by the
Liberals in 1022 and 1923 and thee
proceeded to Eidd thes,..! words—"Tho
effects of these tariff reductions on
the Canadian linen industry are
clearly shown by an examination of
the imports during the last six years
which show a direct gain over Cans
adian producers." And then follow.;
a table of figures showing imports,
and the figures prove that the int -
ports in the last six years in some
classes were Actually hair a million

fact, for every $75,000 worth of
goods imported into Canada away
back in 1912 we imported a million
yards of linen goods—now we im-
port 8125,000,000 worm of goods
for every million yards of linen Im-
ported. The fact is, if the Ham
bueinees in Canada is in trouble it is
in trouble because it Is an exotic in-
dustry, wholly unsuited to the coun-
try and we in the Dominion of Can-
ada cannot afford to pay the price
necessary to maintain industries of
that kind.
Other Applicants
There were one or two other in-
dustries which- wanted favors—trifl-
ing increases here and there which
rould have enabled them to charge
the Canadian consumer 10, 16 or 20
P1' cent more for the products he
has to buy and there were two ap-
plications for reductions in duty.
One firm wanted a lower rate on the
bodies of felt hats and another firm
which makes felt bodies for hats, vig-
orously opposed the application. A
manufacturer will fight his brother
manufacturer with zest and zeal if
private interest dictate Eng he
should do so, and as a rule he never
stops to think how industries could
be stimulated by lowering the cost of
11116 material and thus helping the
Canadian manufacturer to increase
his sales, employ more men and low-
er his cost of proem:von. But
through the darkness sometimes one
catches a glimpse of right. It eure-
ly cannot be possible that the Can
adian manufacturer writ continue al-
ways to strive against his own inter-
e-sts. There isno class in Canada
to -day that would gain as much as
the manusacturet from tariff reduc-
tion. He fights against himself. He
strives to cut his own throat, but the
'Mete clear and I look forward to
the tame when the opposition to high
tariffs will come front the manufac-
turer as much as from any other
section of the community.
Dredging operations on the Thee -
water River are being pushed as fast
as the equipment can work and the
dredge is working overtime so that
the contract may be completed on
the date set. The operations are
now going on in the vicinity of
Chepstow, and no doubt will be a
centre of interest all summer.
