This limitation of the protection
theory necessarily took away any
grounds for a tariff between this
country and any country in which the
conditions of production were sub
stantially the same. The conditions
of production and of manufacture in
the United States and in Canada are
substantially the same. Wages may
differ in one part of Canada from
another part, just as wages differ in
different states in this country, but,
