Up Goes Price of Canadian Cattle

The new Tariff has added $40 to
the value of every head of Canadian
cattle, according to Canadians them
selves. This is contrary to the pre-
diction of the wise Democratic states
men who are responsible for the
new Tariff, who reasoned that If
they removed the duty on cattle,
the latter, which were cheaper in
Canada than in the United States
would be sent across the border

knock out the high cost of living.
Unfortunately the Democrats hadn't
taken the Canadians ino considera-
tion The latter are not giving away

string to buy Canadian cattle are on

as with other products from which
duty has been taken off or reduced
in late years, the high price will
continue to reign, the American con-
sumer will be no better off, the
United States Treasury loses the duty
and the foreign importer reaps the
benefit.
Again the United States has sac
rifioed it's position as a Protective
nation without securing any recip-
rocal advantage and Canada and the
importers reap the benefit, just as
the growers, importers and importing
nations did when the duty was taken
off coffee, and as they will do in
