A Jolt at Regina.

| The Canadian Manufacturer asso-
| citation has been enjoying an excur-
| sion thru western Canada, partly to
see the country and partly to jolly the
western farmer and make him be-
lieve that his salvation depends on
assisting the manufacturers to get
| more protection. All went well until
Regina was reached, for. as the Mani
toba Free Press remarks, an excur-
sion Of that%kind will have favorable
sentiment served up to order wher-
ever it goes. ,
But at Regina mistake occurred.
Thru some lack Of foresight, the
wrong man was picked to welcome
the manufacturers. He rightly thought
that the occasion was not one for
pretty white lies. IT struck him that
the manufacturers were agitating in
their own interests, and that 1t would
be a mistake for the Canadian west to
let the impression get abroad that It
had let out its thinking to the manu-
facturers Of the east.
e So Mr.. Brown, told the manufac-
turers that while all Canadians liked
to see all good Canadian enterprises
prosper, the people Of the west wished
to serve notice on the manufacturers
that If they had an idea that the west
would stand for higher tariff .or
thought it could be benefited by one
they were absolutely wrong. The
west was contributing as much now
as it could stand. Mr.. Brown went on
to advise the manufacturers that the
way for them to get trade was to
make goods equal to those imported
from the United States and not stand
around and demand help from the
ten years ago American agricultural
machinery was scarcely known in
western Canada, whereas it is now
better known in some lines than Ca
madam.
Mr.. Brown Is right. The western
Canadian farmer is to-day paying 25
per cent more for his implements
this rs per cent goes to the Cana.
dian government; on Canadian goods
it goes to the Canadian manufac-
turer. If American goods are entirely
shut out by a high tariff, the Cana
dian farmer will pay the whole of the
tax to the Canadian manufacturer. In
stances are. known of threshing ma
chine rigs made in the United States
selling for $1,000 more in Manitoba,
than in North Dakota.
Some Of our cute American manu-
facturers have&b factories in Can
ada, so as to divert this revenue from
the government to themselves. And
every time such plant is opened in
Canada it is welcomed as an un-
mixed blessing. But really, every such
establishment directly contributes
to the perpetuation of excessive tax
alton Of the Canadian farmer, for it
adds men and money to the aggrega-
ton that is in favor Of higher tariffs
and weakens the interested demand
from this side of. the line for fair.
trade with Canada. 49,
