Canada,s Preferential Iariff,

The people of Canada must realize
by this time that in spite of political
separation the Dominion is dependent
upon It's big southern neighbor. On the
other hand, the Uuitei States is wholly
independent of Canada. The CONNER
cial relations between the two coun
tries are decidedly one-sided. This is
unfortunate for the Canadians, but it is
Il fact nevertheless and one to be recb
oned with. ANY Canadian tariff system
which attempts to make the Dominion
commercially independent of the States
is an injustice to the people of the
former country. Canadians are coming
to appreciate this, and they are also
coming to see that there are other ways
and better ways of tcstfying their
loyalty and devotion to the ''mother
country than giving Engiishmen the
benefit OF a preferential tariff which
only results in injuring themselves
