You have taken great interest in the working of the Association, thoroughly understanding the duties which were required of you ; and you have throughout been i>f great use and help to the manufacturers. I hope you will continue to take the same active interest you have heretofore done. It is a cardinal principle of Protection that the Home Market is a thing of great value which helongs to the peo- ple, and which should not be given away to strangers.

Free trade is an expensive hixin'v, which has resulted in makiu}^ more than 25 paujiers to each i,o(jo of the population. The United States, Germany and France have protection. In the first there are less than 2 paupers to each thousand of the population ; in Germany there are less than 7, and in France less than 8.

It was no slight responsibility to succeed to the position lield hy Mr. Nicholls, the late Secretary of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, but I am pleased to iiear testimony that you have ably filled the place. You have been indefatigable in jour attention to the requirements not only of the indi- vidual members, but of the Association as a whole. The finances of the Association have been put on a better basis by you than .at any former time. I congratulate the Association in having secured your services. William Christie l Biscuit Manufacturers. Christie, Hroivn ^ Co. ' Toronto, Aug. 17, 1802. When you took the position of Secretary of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, and of editor of the Canadian Xfanufacturer, I had grave doubts of your ability to fill the place. However, time has shown the wisdom of the selection. Your course .as editor has been and is commendable, inasmuch .as you have t.aken .an imp.artial view of all questions on which you have written. You h;ive been .a consistent advocate of protection even when such views did not accord with those of the powers that be. The Can.adi.an Manufacturer h;is filled a niche King v.acnnt, and filled it to a nicety. We often hear of the benefits of free tradings? in the open markets of the world. This means the fiercest competition between all industries in all countries. It means that the counti*y that produces the cheapest has the strongest pro- bability of succeeding. It means that to produce the cheapest, even with labor-saving machinery, wages must be depressed to the point of starvation. " Free trade " and " the open markets of the world " resolve themselves into a scheme to enslave and debase labor. 4» [iobb'8 fT\a9ufa(;turiF>(5 Co. AND |^obb'8 |1ardu;ar(^ <5o. LONDON, • • • ONT.

So far as my information extends, your services have been valuable to the Canadian Manufacturers' Association. I have read many articles in the Cana- dian Manufactiircr which indicate a much more sound and intelligent appreci- ation of the real interests and proper trade policy of this country than is usually met with among those who attempt to handle such questions. If a foreign nation should send a fleet and bombard and destroy a Canadian city, every Canadian would burn with indignation and demand that some sort of reprisal should be inaugurated. But such vandalism would be of less im- portance to us than that foreign capital should be allowed to demolish our important domestic manufacturing indus- tries. All crude materials used in manufactures which cannot be produced to any considerable extent in the country, or which, from climatic or other causes not depending on the cost of labor, cannot he produced at home under as favor- able conditions as elsewhere, should be admitted duty free. 43 THE CANADA SCREW CO.

Your long service in the interests of Canadian manufacturers as editor of our representative journal, the Canadian Manufacturer, and as Secretary ot our C.inailian Manufacturers' Association, has earned for you a ver> large place in our esteem, and we hope you will continue to hold these trusts for a longtime. The general interests of all manuf.icturers have been upheld by your discussions of ways and means to benefit the craft. As a nation, Canada possesses great material advantages for the building up of an intelligent and happy people ; but these would be surrendered if too largely shared. Canada should not part with her birthright. As well might a father of a family, just embarking in a prosperous business with a small capital, distribute his property equally among the poor of his neighborhood, depriving himself of the means of providing for his children. 49 Machine Nut Tap. mnmmmi B.&CQ, -^-^.v-^.«.Wv >wWWV,V Hand Nut Tap.

Vour services have been of inestimable value to tlie manufacturers ok Canada in your capacity both as editor of the Canadian Manuf;icturer and as Secretary of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association. Your editorials in the Canadian Manufacturer meet theapproxal of all who uphold tIieXativin.il Policy. The National Policy was not made in tlit; interest ol any country but Canada. There is no sentiment in it. ICither with or without it we cannot sell aliroad one dollar's worth of anythiiii; we i)roduce more than the country we sell to is willing to take. Under it the best methods obtain for conducting the business of the country, and for securing the greatest good to the greatest number. It was framed upon business principles, to protect as far as pcxssible every class of tlie conununity. Every worker, whatever his occu- pation, whether the remuneration be fixed or fluctuating, is benefitted by it, because the prosperity of e\'ery individual depends upon the prosperity of every other individual. Low wages for laborers means low wages for professional men. There is no escape from this fact. So long as the foreigner stands ready to capture oiu* market with the products of his low wage lal";or, so long shall we need the National Policy to protect us from such assaults. ttiZP V Qry' ^^ <3? li'ij Utf < O Promote Canada's Manufacturing Industries Hi E.

Dean Swift said : "Whoever makes two blades of j^rass to grow where only (Hie grew before, deser\es better mankind, and does more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together."

The trade she has is very one-sided. There is freedom of imports except such as she cannot produce, and those are very heavily taxed ; but what about her freedom of exports — say to countries which have protection ? The only permanent safety of the National Policy is in the enlightenment and patriotism of the people. 59 AiilliDri/.ed Capital, Siibscr bi-il Capital, Paid-up Capital, $2,000,000 $1,500,000 $1,400,000 ir.

The columns of the Canadian Manufacturer testify to your ability ; and I am sure that e\ ery one interested in home industries and the advancement of our country appreciate the very able manner in which you represent them in your paper. Under a tariff for revenue only, the masses become poor ; and when the people are poor the revenue tariff fails of accomplishing the piu^pose for which it was made. Divide the Home Market with the foreigner, and the con- tinuous production of home manufactures is weakened or stopped.

I am greatly pleased at the success the Canadian Manufacturer has attained under your editori.al management, jmd at the independence you show in your treatment of all tariff questions. I well recollect the time when the early promoters of the National Policy of tariff protection to Canadian manufacturing industries had no such support of the cause as the Manufacturer now gives. The natural inclination of a civilized nation is to endea- vour to supply its own wants from its own resources. The Home Market should be a lever with which to open the doors of foreign commerce. 71 u c u.

WEST OFFICES AND WAREROOMS 80 YORK ST., TORONTO, ONT. Brains and Capital c^ A Partner's Death z^ In every partner^hip there are two factors of Ijreat imjiortance : The nianafjiny brain and the capital employed, and if death removes either the business must suffer. It often happens that the brains belong to one man and the capital to another. If the manaj/er dies the capital is worth less than before ; if the capitalist dies and his ca|)ital is withdrawn, the manager is crippled. It is clear that each has an insurable interest in the life of the other, l)ccause the profits of each depend in part upon the life of both. The firm should therefore insure for the benefit of the business on either the ten-twenty i^lan or the natural premium life plan of the Manufacturers. These are the plans best adapted for partnership insurance, the premium rates being very low ; and it is respectfully suggested that no firm can afford to be without this protection.
