the exports of such special articles as McCor-

the plated ware of the Meriden and Gorham

Major. Section 573 of the Code makes it
imperative on the Sheriff to discharge his man

While we must expect that he will consult
Canadian interests alone in adjusting the new
tariff, he will find himself restrained by the
claims of the transferable, the moderate
amount of revenue required, and the vested
interests of the large importers. The Canadian
tariff now imposes duties amounting to 17l2
per cent on the value of the goods imported.
If this rate is increased to % per cent-the
assumed limit-the sale of American products
cannot be seriously affected. As our tariff
was not conceived in a spirit of hostility to
Canada, it is reasonable to expect that the
new Premier will not make retaliation the
basis of his industrial policy. AS regards the
Halifax award, 1t is unlikely that Sir John
will be less greedy than his predecessor. All
Canadians are agreed that our fish bill must
be paid.
