BUSINESS prospects in Canada are rem
dered very uncertain by the high duties
on imports recently imposed. Prices
having thus been forced up, artifcially,
doubts are expressed as to the limit of
duration that will be extended to the
present tariff. A prominent sugar re-
inner says he would go into refining in
Montreal if he thought the present sugar
tariff would last two years. The Toronto
''0oe does not give him any encourage
ment IN this direction, it being the
opinion OF that journal that no free peo-
pie on earth would submit to such a rob
perry as the sugar tariff for one moment
after they had chance to crush the
monopollsts. The tariff no sooner went
INTO force than the protected monopolists
put the prices up as high as the circum.
stances would permit, and they have
remained up ever since.
