The proof mentioned in this letter
consists Of letters from retail dealers
throughout Canada quoting the prices
az which the products Of the Michigan
factory are sold to Canadian farmers
These figures agree Substantially WITH
those given in the government puDl
cation. For instance. a planter which
sells in Detroit for $40 costs $40 In
Windsor, less than a mile away across
the Detroit river, and a c~ultivator
which sells in Detroit for $50 cannot
be bought in Windsor for less b $685.

is an old proyerb that a lie Will travel

that farmers who have heard the UNI

Farmers Brncoed by the High
Tariff" is the title of a publication in
dustriously circulated arsong farmers
by the TariI Reform burelu OF New
York, a free trade annex OF the Demo
cratic rarity.
1t asserts that American-made farm
implements are sold in Canada at a
lower price than they ere ohtainable
by American farmers. The purpose OF
the statement II to prove that the
American farmers are made to suffer
through the operation q the protee-
I've tariff laws.
The statement is false. Plows.
planters, cultivators and other farm
implements made in the United States
cost twenty-five per cent more in
Canada than In this country.
The free trade advocates who try
to mislead the American farmer do
moi know. apparently. that there is a
so-called antidumping law in Canada
whereby an American manufacturer
cannot sell IN that country at a lower
price than az home.
OFFICIAL Facts and Figures.
In addition to this. they are also
ignorant to the fact hat the United
States government through its board
OF trade relations In the state de-
partment, has made a thorough inves-
tigation which disproves the false as
sertion. Il issued under date of May
i6. 1910. a document entitled Com
parison Of Prices Of Agricultural I'm
Elements In Canada and the United
States" which shows that Canadian
farmers pey more for American farm
machinery than Is raid by the Ameri-
can farmers. Here are the figures:
