this country, which. 1t 10 believed, can
be done, aud thus give our farmers a
new crop which we now mainly la.
port from abroad; 10y increasing the
uuly on agricultural products Affected
py canadian competition, and on nae
cotton goods, SEINE advanced manu-.
lectures Of iron and steel. msDufac.
lures OF jute, fax and hemp, In order
10 encourage these anu other Industries
here, and especially by increasing
tobacco, silk. etc.
The iron aud steel schedule lie
chsnged very little from the scnsJue
Ia the tarih OF 1894, the change beiug
entirely III more advaGced articles.
The same lie true OF the cotton schedule.
In tho agricultural, wool, glass nIu
earthcnware sche1uies alone are tue
duties OF the act of 1894 fully restored
rs p rule, nnd in d few cares Increased,
with tins view OF amply protecting and
every pi ssiOIe point.
While the duty on clothing wool Ia
larger IN proportion to the foreign
value than on manufactured articles,
II lie thought desirable for the public
interest and for agriculture that We
should produce this Prime necessity
Tor ourselves. The duty M carpet
woods, as well as upon many other
articles, is imposed msinly for revenue.
The irritation caused by few woole
heretofore chased as carpst woods
being used for clothing has been
remedied by transferring such woods
to the clothing wool cinsies, but the
duty on clothing woUl has been
restored 10 the rate Of tue act OF 1890.
In framing this new tariff the aim
has been TO make the duties specific, as
far as possible, to protect the revenue
and also to protect our own Industries.
This has been done in response to the
wishes OF the better class OF Importers,
as well ns OF the administrators Of the
law and OF our own producers.
