Kingston, Dec. 6th (To the Edl- itor): ¥The one big issue before the | women voters, and aceepted by the | three parties, is that of the tariff. | The Meighen government (doomed to defeat) is committed to a still | higher tariff, if re-elected. The Mac- | kenzie King party i committed to a revision of the tariff downwards cn all necessities of life and on all arti- cles over-protected and belonging to the Biz Interests which have been { backing the present government. The i Crerar party's platform is a revision of the tariff gradually downwards with a 50 per cent. preference to Great Britain, free trade on a recipro cal basis of farm products. As Mac- kenzie King and Mr. Crerar have both preached from one end of the country to the other there is no such thing contemplated by them as abso- lute free trade on manufactured ar- ticles, but their revision contemplates ! the reduction in the cost of living and | the reduction of enormous profits of |the Big Interests who are behind the | present government. During the last session of parlia- ment a tariff commission was ap- pointed at enormous expense to the country to travel from Halifax to Vancouver, with a view to revising the tariff, Due to the pressure of the Big Interests, whose profits during the past several years have been greater than in the history of Can- (ada, nothing was dome with a view | to reducing the tariff, but on the oth- {er hand the tariff was increased by This was accomplished by adding the current rate of exchange to the in- voice value and doubling the import- er's tax from two per cent. to four per cent. Every retailer or wholesal- er who has imported goods since this ruling will verify this statement. The reason for this as given by our pres- ent representative, the minister of finance, Hon. Mr, Drayton, who prom- ised go much for Kingston if elected, but who did nothing, was he said: to compel United States firms to accept the Canadian dollar at par. By a lat- er ruling of the customs those Can- adian firms who purchased goods from firms good enough to accept them were penalized to the extent of $10 on every $100 of goods accepted. Previous to the last session of par- liament, when Drayton brought down his budget, the average rate of duty on manufactured articles was 35 per cent, This was increased to 44.55 per cent. and with the return of the Met- glen government will be largely in- creased. The Fordney Tariff, about which so many of the Conservative speakérs have spoken, clearly provi- | des in Sectiong 301, 302 and 303 that [the president can make reciprocal ar- rangements with any foreign coun- try, dominion, colony or province. The Conservative speakers would have the Canadian public believe that | this tariff bill is intended t~ close en- tirely the United States market for Canadian goods. . During the year 1914 and in the Conservative administration, the con- dition of the unemployment and gen- eral businesg conditions were equally as bad as at the present time. In the larger industrial centers tens of thou- sands were out of employment and in the rural sections farmers were offer- ing not more than $25 per month, The writer was in Toronto a week previous to the outbreak of the war and saw between three and four thou- sand men waiting outside the office of the Toronto Telegram for the at- ternoon paper In order to scan. (he 'wanted' columns, The outbreak of the war alone relieved the industrial condition brought on by thé Conser- vative party and the protective policy. The first and Second Contingents were nearly uinety per -¢ent. unemployed who took advantage of the high rate of pay and allowances to soldier's families to provide food and shelter for them. Had the war not' occurred, | what would have been the condition of the unemployed during the fall and winter of 1914 and later years? During the year 1920, as per tha dominion government report, the de- posits in the post office savings banks, largely patronized by the working classes, were lower by $12,- 000,000 than for the past twenty- seven years; fifty-three thousand ac- counts were closed out, There is no sentiment in business, and competition is the life of trade. The retailer is the one who stands be- tween the poducer and the consum- €r and has to make ais prices such as will attract business. I am surprised that though professional men have taken the platform, lawyers and doc- tors and professional politicians, no retailers have been asked to put the present political situation before the people. Permit me to give a few instances of the high prices due to the protee- tive tariff: 1. At the time we remodelled this store the best price we could secures from any local dealer for hardwood fiooring was $90 per 1000 feet. We purchased same a few miles out of Clayton, N.Y., at $24 ang paying a duty of 25 per cent. laid it down here at §30 per 1,000. z 2. The large light of Luxfer Prism glass seen in our store fromt (140 Square feet) was purchased from Chicago, freight and duty paid de- livered 'inside the store for $72, as againet the best quotation of $370 f.0.b Toronto. 3. Walk-over shoes were advertis- ed in the Toronto and New York pa- pers of September 8th this year, The | 27.3 per cent. of the former tariff. | only were $12.50. The New York | price of Hearn & Co., one of the fin- lest departmental stores for men and | women, oxfords and high shoes, was | $4.45. , | 4.

Labor in Canada is | lower than that of the United States {but the protective tariff enables the | Dominion = Canner's Association to to rob the Canadian public. | With the return of the Meighen | government a mandate will be deliy- | ered to the government by the Cana- dian Manufacturers Association for an increased tariff. This will the cutting down of exports and com- pelling the houeseholder to purchase [Canadian products at the present | high prices. Drayton says that {t wilt | require over $560,000,000 to run the | | where will this revenue come from it [duties are rased 80 as to prohibit im- {portg? The result will be direct taxa- tion with the exemption reduced from $1,000 to $500 and the rate in- creased from four per cent. to prob- ably double that rate, If goods are not imported from for eign countries you will pay the in- creased fncome tax rate and also pay | the Canadian manufacturer the high | prices. You remember the case of the | {paid 560 per cent. when questioned by a federal com- | mission replied that "I am not run- | ning the factory for the glory of God | but for the stockholders." The election of either the Liberal {or Progressive government will mean an immediate drop in the cost of liv- ing. The election of the Meighen gov- ernment will mean inceased ccst of | living and conditions such ag now | prevail in Central Europe, Before casting your vote tomorrow ask your grocer, dry goods merchant or any retailer in Kingston whether jor not a reduced tariff would not en- {able them to sell you goods at a lower price than at the present time.

Shortly before three o'clock his big car ap- peared over the top of Barriefield ill and the advance guards on the : ; LaSalle Causeway passed the ithe election returns on ord back that he was coming. Hord- | es of youlgsters lined the causeway and ran to meet him, following him into the city, up Princess street to Division and back down Princess street again to the store of W. J. Moore & Sons on Wellington street. Here the youngsters crowded around bis conveyance and it was with dif- ficplty that he carried his load into Moore's store. Finally he managed to get in and the kids crowded in to see him. He shook hands with them one at a ime,-giving each one he met a stick candy. Over a thousand Kingston children met him and then he re- gretfully stated that he was due in Toronto at seven o'clock and must eave. He departed in a big car for Toronto amid the cheers of the little Montreal Street, to hear Tuesday evening, Many comments have been made by citizens on_Santa Claus' visit, which was arranged by W. J. Moore & Sons. "I've never seen so many kids at a time before," was the gen- eral opinion. "Santa Claus' visit cer tainly stimulated business on Satur- day," remarked another wt cleared my store for an hour or so and then the crowds came. back in greater | numbers than ever."
