on the country at large?
Mr. Edward Atkinson,
estimates the annual wool product at
| $55,000,000 out of a total of §13,
000,000 produced by all the workers of
on the wool industry at 800,000 out of
| a total population of 78,000,000. The
| wool duty then means that out of every
| 240 persons 239 are to be “‘beld up” for
| the benefit of the other one. This is a
sample of what protection does. Of
course more than 500,000 persons may
sometimes raise a few sheep, but the
interests of these others are more those
| of the consumer than of the sheep raiser,
| and they would lose more because of in-
| creased cost of woolens than they would
gain by the increased price of wool

An Odious Tax.
The tin plate makers wish to boom
their business by increasing the duty
on imported tin plate, to the injury of
the canning industry and other indus-
tries that flourish by reason of cheap
tin plate. Another blow is struck at
business by abolishing the rebate on ex-
ported tin cans. Now canned goods ex-
ported in cans made of imported tin are
allowed a drawback of the duty paid,
and thus an export business has been
built up in canned fruits, oysters, vege-
tables, petroleum, eto. Over 4,000,000
tin cans are sent abroad annually, oon.
taining oil which competes with that of
Russia. When Russia can buy tin plate
at $2.70 a box, while we have to pay
$3.50 for it, it is evident that our com-
will be rendered difficult. Mr.
