LAST EDITION 3 ---- Failed To Keep United States Industries Prosperous Beware of a High Tariff Conservative politicians are relying on the. cry that this country needs a high tariff, to put them in power. We are continually. told that we are suffering because of a low tariff and the United States is prospering because of a. high tariff.

Perhaps you have read the 'appeals to the farmers. Read what a great. American editor says: People in the United States are getting to the tariff is not what it is supposed to be. World economic conditions are forcing the United States into a position where it will have to lower its tariff, and we may depend on it that one of the first tariffs to be lowered will be the tariff on farm products. Al a banquet held in Calgary a few weeks ago, Dr. Tait Butler, one of the Ameri- ean editors, in reply, said he thought Canadian farmers were in error when they attri- buted the depression in tlie beef cattle business entirely to the Fordney tariff. he continued, "that whatever the effects of the tariff on the beef cattle industry of the United States it has not saved our beef producers, but they too have suffered a terrible depression, especially on the lower grades of cattle. far as I am concerned, I am convinced that the farmers of the United Stafes are paying a tremendous toll to the manufacturers of the United States through the operation of the so-called protective tariff. Economists and statisticians have esti- mated that the tariff benefits the United States farmers about that is, the tariff raises the price of what they sell that amount. On the other hand, the tariff on what they buy is estimated to increase the price $1,500,000,000, "" very certain, cost is ten times the benef If American fagmers have to pay out $10 for every $1 extra they receive through tariff it is not much wonder they are against the pet panacea of politicians.

"I may have difficulty in getting the judgment, and grounds for dissent from the re- gistrar," she said. "Mr. Nickle does not want me to win a case" The Chief Justice said he could not listen to such a statement. If Miss Colten had any difficulty in getting the judgment from the registrar: of the Ontario Court, he would see that one was produced.

It was decided to allow the appli- cation to stand ever until November 2, when the required documents will have been obtained.

Toronto, Oct. 14.--"There have been all kinds of prophecies as to the weather we are going to have -- some say we will-have hot summers and cold winters and some assert we are to have no summers at all, Per- sonally I believe none of them know very much about it," was the terse comment of Sir Frederic Stupart, di- rector of the Toronto weather bureau, in speaking of the latest pre- dictions of Abbe Moreaux, the French priest-astronomer, The abbe predicted that old- fashioned weather is due to stage a comeback, that we are to have a cold winter and a really hot summer LETTER 70 THE The Letter Was Written by 0'Donnell Himself Without Any Per suasion or Suggestion---The-Original in His Handwriting Is Still In Possession of the Whig.
