MORE TARIFF BOOSTING.

. Ottawa, Ont, D c. 18.-Special-
The action off the French chamber of
deputies in voting to increase greatly
the tariff rates that will apply to
American agricultural implements has
served to inject new element of un-
easiness into the Canadian American
tariff relations, as viewed ON this side
of the line.
sCanadas treaty with France, now
needing only the last formal a7atifca-
tton, . gives Canada an advantage of
40 per cent off the French tariff rates
that would apply to agricultural inn
plements from the United States. On
"a binder this would amount to $500;
on a5mIower 1886; on a reaper $4S2;
on horse rake $1.93.
These figures apply to the French
tariff aas it stands, without the latest
increase in maximum Press dis
patches indicate THAT the change in
the rates that will apply to America
will operate to increase greatly the
duty on American implements.
