OF THE ADDITIONAL DUTIES ON CANA
DIAN GOODS
St. Johns n F., Dec. 10 Special. importers are
dIsputing the legality of evyiDg additional duties
on Canadian goods. The Revenue act empowers the
Government to impose additional duties on goods
imported from countries the fisherman Of which have
the privilege of taking fish all parts of the coast OF
Newfoundland, and in which countries duties are
levied on fish exported from this colony The
privilege OF taking fish the coast Of this colony
Is refused to Canada therefore, 1t is argued, the
act cannot be applied TO Canadian exports. Sir
James Winter, ex-AtOmey General, thinks the action
Of the Government is Illegal. The quarrel with
Canada causes a heavy loss to exporters OF fsh,
and increase the taxation on farm products, which
articles only Canada can send her.
