President; Simon Snyder, W'ata'loo; C- G. Pease of the American Rattan Com- pany. Toronto; D. Knetchel. Hanover; W. B. Rogers, Toronto; T. Gibbu'd. Napanee; George McLegan. Stratforc. chairman of lax-ii! Committee; J. Acton and Mr. Hill of Wiarton. Mr. Mc- Legan put forth their case very clear- ly and stated that any change in the fiscal policy as it applied to them might be disastrous. He showed that. owing to competition, furniture in sold in Canada just as low as it is in the United States. There was no com- bination among furniture men here to keep up prices. and much the same quality of material is used in the manufacture of Canadian furniture on American, but the latter had such an extensive market that they could make up so many new styles, when: our market is not large enough for that. Quite a lot of American furni- ture is sold in Canada at prices that can compete with the Canadian article notwithstanding the 30 per cent. duty placed upon it. The on assigned for this is that when a. yle become. obsolete there, as it does in a few months. the stuff on hand is sold at a. sacrifice to the Canadian dealers. The statement was made, and gener- ally concurred in, that Canadian peo- ple will buy imported goods quicker than they will those manufactured in their own country,and_in some cages to the handlers d cheap books-would not suit those who had the more ex- pensive grades to handle. and the gen- eral opinion expressed was that the specific duty of 6c per pound, as it now stands, would be most (air to all concerned. Books on the curricula or the colleges are admitted tree. but a declaration must be made at the time or their entry that they m for the use of students The letter otthe statute is not fairly and honestly car- ried out. because some not over-par- ticular persons will make amdaviu that books are tor students or col- leges when they are not. Mr. Bryce, in presenting his side or the case. pro- Cuced cheap boob-ca: :7. 2-6 m. ported. and which. he explained. could be made in the United States cheaper than in Canada. the additional coat of paper here being a large item. An- other reason our cousins was. the line could 153317610019 cheaper was that with their big market they can run on: unlimited quantities o: the books, and in our smaller market the publisher cannot do this. It the Gov- ernment decided to change from 3 specific to an ad valorem duty he hop- ed that they would make it enough to protect his interests, which were large. Another matter taken up by the de- Putation was the admission of stereo- tYDe plates to this country duty free. asthey now are, notwithstanding the tact that the Typographicai Union de- putation had said there was an existlnt duty of 2 per cent. The bookmen strongly objected to any duty hem: placed upon the plates and stated that the printers could not have proan considered the matter or they would not ask to have a high duty put upon the plates. Mr. \V. B. Stewart of the Dovercourt Twine Mills and Mr. John Leckie do not want the Government to make any change regarding cotton or nets. as they didn’t expect an increase of the 20 per cent. duty and could not stand a decrease. Mr. Leckie sus- gested a 20 per cent. duty on all their imports, particularly seine twine. which was admitted free for fishing purposes only, and accordingly there was con- siderable fraud regarding it. uvuae, ‘Wvo u ..u-. __-_°-_, __ Brown.
