ON THE NEW UNITED STATES TARIFF BILL, How Canada Is Affected By The Lower Duties----No Benefit To The Farmers Says Toronto Globe. In a statement accompanying the tarifi bill. Chairman Underwood said the measure would, in the opinion ol its makers, revise the tarii to a basis of legitimate competition, such as will afiord a wholesome influence on our commerce, bring relief to the people in the matter of the high cost of living, and at the same time work no detriment to properly conducted manufacturing industries." { In its tanh revision work the com mittee has kept in mind,', he said, "the distinction between the necessi ties and the luxuries oi life, reducing the tariff burdens on the necessities vo the lowest point commensurate with revenue requirements, and mak' ing the luxuries of life bear. their | prog er portion of the tariff responsi (bilities. Many items of manufacture {controlled hy monopolies have been ced on the free list. "I'he idea of the large exlension of the free list for the unmanulactur {ed products have heen the fundamen (tal conception, while the efiort has heen winde to improve the status of {the manufactured lumber.

"In the effort to relieve the ton- simmers and to mitigate the high and rising cost of 'living, schedule Gi, which deals with agricultural pro- ducts, has heen thoroughly revised | and important reductions have heen | made Far instance, the duty on! harses has been reduced from 25 per , cont. to 10 per cent; cattle from | 274 per cont to 1 por cent; sheep irom 16.4} per cont. to 10 per cent.:' harley from 43.05 per cent. to 23.07, hav from 43.2% per cent. to fruits from 27.21 per | cont to 10.38 per cent; live poultry from 13.10 per cent. to 6.67 per cont. Other changes are in propor. ition. and the general effect has been to reduce in a very material pro- portion the heavy taxes upon import yed food stuffs. i per ennt.: 26.67 ver cent; | How Canada is Affected. | Hamilton Herald, { Our ant-reciproeitists will claim that their predictions have been veri- fied, and that Canada will get from the democratic party, without the necessity of any concessions, all that s1e would have obtained by means of the reeiprocity arrangement. Thia is hardly the case. The demo- cratic free list is not nearly so large as was the free list in the reciprocity pill. And further, it should be con- sidered that under the reciprooity ar- rangement Canada was specially fa- vored, whereas under the new tariff she will share the advantages with all other countries. It is not at all probable that the acceptance of the reciprocity agreement by Canada would have saved the republican party from defeat last November; and it is not at all mmprobable that it reciprocity between Canada and the United States were now in force, Canada would have received specially favored treatment in the democratic tarifc legislation. It is by no means likely that the «bill will go through congress as It will doubtless be sub- | Jected to some revision of the special interests. But it is hardly likely to be so much mutilated as to call for the présidential veto, and we may ex- pect most of the reductions to stand. The U. 8S. tariff wall will then be not much, if any, higher than our own, and the situation will be favorable to negotiavions between the government of the two countries for further reductions. The fact is that the reciprocity movement will be stimulated rather whan imp:ded by the democratic tariff legisiation. | No Benefit To Farmers.
