PRELIMINARY REMARKS. 
 
 These notes were originally prepared to be published in the papers; 
 but some circumstances havin;j; prevented their publication tlirough the press, 
 it was thouglit advisable to make a panii>hlet of them. So defective as the 
 style in which they are written may be, their subject is not less pregnant with 
 facts and suggestions which nnist draw the attention of all those who take 
 some interest in the commercial and industrial policy of the Dominion. Such 
 is the onlw excuse for their jtublication.

 CANADIAN TARIFF.

 by abulishiuK the cUMtoDJH dutiis wlii<li cuin-

 Maritiiuu ri'ovimt'H. Coiiftduintion finv>; a 
 powerful impulse to Canndia!i coinuierie and 
 indiihtry : in the interior, hh well as the 
 exterior, comniereial opt;rati(>ns t' ' k con- 
 siderable proportionB. Duriiiir ii • year 
 which esi)ireil on the liOtli of June, 1870, we 
 imported for $7-1,814,33!), and exported for 
 $7;!, 573, 190 ; so that our total toDimerce 
 amounted to S;i4S,387,820. The cuBtoras 
 brought to the Government $'.),4''>2 a40, and 
 the tonna^t! of all our Canadian ports was 
 11,415,820 tons. 
 
 These fii{ure8 show i)lainly tho commer- 
 cial importance which Confederation has 
 ^;iven to this country. During; the year 
 which expired on the 30th of June, 18C7, we 
 imported for $50,048,987, ami exported for 
 '?)8,48t),143, making the amount of our com- 
 merce $107,535,130. '1 he customs gave a 
 revenue of $7,023,327, and the tonnage at 
 all ports did not exceed 9,883,187 tons. 
 During the three years comprised with- 
 in these two periods, that is to say, 
 from the first of July, 1807, to the first of 
 July, 1870, our commerce was increased $40,- 
 852,<I90; the revenue from customs, $2,439,- 
 C13, and tho tonnage l,532,t383 tons. 
 
 Hefore 1HG7, the total pupiilation of Ca- 
 nada did not exceed 2,700,000, the census of 
 1801 gave it 2,506,755 souls. — while now it 
 has a population of 3,575,577 ; showing an 
 increase of 1,008,822. 
 
 To any one who, witl out prejudice, exa- 
 mines these figures, they reveal progress. In 
 uniting the confederated provinces under one 
 government, the authors of Conf< deretion 
 formed a country of great commercial import- 
 ance : th»'y also formed the basis of a national 
 industry, in assuring to us by the means ol 
 abolition of customs' dues a mariiei of lour 
 iiiiUions of consumers. 
 
 Now, it will be naturally asked : has our 
 industry developed in the same proportion 
 
 as our commerce' This must be answcrid in 
 tho negative. In a letter ac( ('ni|>anjing the 
 report for the year 18 70. the (V niniissit>iier of 
 Customs writes to the Ihn. Mr, Tilley, (hat 
 " independently of our splendid and nnnuT- 
 '• ous llour mills, nnd of our vast es- 
 " tablishnii'iits for the falricatiou of all 
 " kinds of wooden articles, it is but 
 "just to siiy that the manufactures of Canada 
 " are distinguished, more by th'ir divtr.-ity, 
 '•than by the extent of their a hievemeuts." 
 •' There are" he adds, " a few manufrtcfuiies 
 "which, as regaids numbers and devtlop- 
 " ment, produce more than is net cssary to 
 " supply the Canadian market." 
 
 To have been within the truth, Mr, I'l'ti- 
 chette should Imve written that our manu- 
 factures Were very far from siiflitient to sup- 
 ply the Canadian market. We have spinners 
 of wool and cotton, and at the same time we 
 imported during the year of width Mr. 
 Bouchette speaks, $8",2£8,588 worth of 
 woollens, and of cotttm gccds, $7,399,- 
 992 worth : we also have large estab- 
 lishments where are made all manner of 
 aiticles in iron, from the locomotive to the 
 finest tack ; notwithstanding this we import- 
 ed during the year 1870, $5,703,143 worth of 
 these goods i we also imported of articles in 
 copper antl brass $326,980, and of glassware 
 $553,300 worth, while we have, ei-pecially at 
 Montreal, establishments wIiitc articles of 
 this description are made quite us well as in 
 forei^'n countries. 
 
 Where shall we find the cause of this 
 anomaly? In our tarilf, whit li dots not 
 give a sufiit'ient prottcticn against 
 foreign competition, especially auainst 
 english competition. We have all tho 
 necessary eltments for the creation of a con- 
 siderable industry, a market of ft iir niillions 
 of people, bkillid and im xpen^ive labour, 
 raw material, motive power, and capital ; 
 but all these advantages are nlative, and dis- 
 appear when we havt^'o enter into tumpeti- 
 tion with english mantitacturevs, who have 
 all these advantages, aud enormous capital,

 ket Ko Ku<l(l n an cnlarL^emeiit, that up to 
 tho |)r()Hent titno it has been almoHt inipoN-

 merchants as wi.li all other huniau b'-iiix'^, a 
 Xoofl (leal of iLe sjiirit of routine, ami whilo 
 it iij not e.-t ibliwlied in an evident, even 
 tanxible, luinuer, that we can quite as advan- 
 ta;^eously purrhiise our meichundise in this 
 country as abroad, our importers will al. 
 ways th'lik theuiS'dves better served in 
 En>(hiuil, where they have had husiness rela- 
 tions established for many years. It is with 
 so fjreiit dillii'iilty that a wliole orKaui/.'itioii 
 is chauifi-d ! Those wlio beliijve in the future 
 of our industry have not yet had time sulli- 
 ciently to examine the vast field which opens i 
 before them. ' 
 
 It is by introducing into our tarifT tlie i 
 modifications rendereil necessary by our cir- 
 oumstanees, that we shall surmount all these ' 
 difiiculties ; it is by protecting our capitalists 
 that wo shall lay the foundations of an in- 
 dustry truly national, an industry which has 
 every opportunity soon to take magnificent 
 proportions, and considerably to augment j 
 the riches of Canada. For the moment it is i 
 urgent to facilitate the establishment of 
 manufacturies in all the little centres ofj 
 trade ; it is there that our workine: popula- 1 
 lion sliould find the employment which it is \ 
 forced to seek in a foreign country. When | 
 we shall have obtained this hap])y result our 
 Canaaians will not depart from the soil i 
 which possesses all their all'ections, and the 
 immigrants who ordinarily traverse the ' 
 country to go to our neighbors, will gladly 
 accept here the work which they were going 
 to ask from the Americans. Then our popti- 
 lation like that of the United States will 
 increase in an extraordinary manner, and the 
 works of colonization will go on sponta- 
 neously, without the sacrifices which the 
 government wjuld perhaps make to advance 
 it. 
 
 But before indicating the ni'.difi'.ations 
 which we think it neces-ary to make in our 
 fiscal laws, it will be well to form a just idea 
 of our financial position, and to point out 
 clearly the principles which should govern 
 the augmentation or diminution of the duties 
 levied on the importation of certain mer- 
 chandise. For thi.s reason we shall endeavor 
 to give on this point all the information de- 
 sirable. 
 
 Admitting first of all that Canada, especially 
 the Province of Quebec, contrary to the 
 general o])iuion, is naturally a manufactur- 
 ing country, that is to say, that it is a coun- 
 
 try whose climate, geogiaphical position, and 
 the aptitude of Its inhaliitints are more, fa- 
 vourable to manufacturing industry than toag- 
 ricullure. Possessing nianufaetiiring i)r)werH 
 capable of development at sniull cost, labor 
 as intelligent us itiexpensive, the raw ma- 
 terial rerjiiired to supply the largest manu- 
 factories, the neeess '.rv capitiil for the work- 
 ing of vast est'iblishments, and a iniirket of 
 foiw millions of consunii'rs, we could supjiort 
 manufaetnn s capablt^ of giving eniplojnunt 
 to thousands of working people. 
 
 < »n the other haii<l we have large wants to 
 satisfy. If we wish to foi in a naflr)n, an in- 
 dependent people, which the authors of {'on- 
 federation had in view, it is necessary that 
 we sho.ild iiut ourselves in the way to be 
 self sii|)p;irtint', and to obtain tliiit material 
 power w ■ jell deteiinine the position which 
 each p.opit! shall occupy in the order of na- 
 tions. We have in the United States 
 neighbors who are also rivals, and 
 it is im|)ortant that we should 
 follow them in the path of jirotrress ; if they 
 too far outstrip us, thtjy may finish by im- 
 posing upon us relations contrary to our 
 sentiments and interests. When they shall 
 have paid their debt, the discharge of which 
 requires enormous taxes, their industry will 
 be fnicd from the restraints with which it is 
 now trammelled, and we shall have in the 
 manufacturers of Ilhodo Island and Massa- 
 chusetts more formidable competitors than 
 those of Sheffield and Manchester. 
 
 For the rest, industry has become queen of 
 the world ; it is she who gives the govern- 
 ment of nations. If Prussia hag become 
 arbiter of the destinies of Europe, it is 
 because for half a century her kings have 
 endeavoured to make her a great industrial 
 centre. 
 
 Without aspiring to direct the aflfairs of 
 I the worlil, it is absolutely necessary that we 
 shoulJ iiave a nation il industry to utilize 
 1 the riches of our immense territory. When 
 we shall have large and numerous manufac- 
 ' tcrits, our workmen will stay among us, as 
 we before said, the vigorous sons 
 of our farmers will attach them- 
 selves to the soil which will better 
 remunerate their labours, and the emigrant 
 coming from Europe will cease to ask from 
 our neighbours the meansof existence which 
 ' we shall then bo able to offer to him. Truly 
 colonization should be accomplished by 
 manufactures ; we have a superb territory to 
 populate, and it is by industry alone that this 
 great work can be performed. In fact, 
 the industrial question includes our whole 
 I policy, 
 
 j The work of colonization, however, is not 
 the only care which should occupy our states- 
 men. Our soil encloses immense riches ; we 
 have iron and copper mines, almost inex- 
 haustible coal fields, wood, wool, and in fact 
 almost all the raw material necessary to sup- 
 ply the most extensive manufactures, with- 
 out speaking of the water powers which 
 exist in almost every part of our country. 
 The products of our agriculture, which needs 
 
cnc()Ura;;>niont, woiilil suppoit a riuinirouR| 
 workiiiK population, nml om- railw'n>H and 
 rive-H would rtinltr ixtrunfly i-any the tranH-

 augmentation of revenue. As the modili- 
 oation which we suggest in the tariff are 
 based upon this increase, Itt U8 now look at 
 what it will amount to. 
 
 Isf. The anuexatian of Columbia and the 
 North West territories will necessitate some 
 extra expeuaus of administration, which we 
 may enumerate as follows :

 the following public works :

 At five per cent this amount would require 
 $2,200,000 to meet the interest. 
 
 3rd. The annexation of British Columbia 
 and of the North West Territories has in- 
 creased the capitation subsidies to provinces 
 from $2 471,(^,87.20 to $2,8(:3,277.C0, making 
 an augniHiitation of $301,500 10, which to- 
 gether with $75,000 of a special grant makes 
 up $ I l'),r)90 40. Adding tnes-' three amounts 
 together we arrive at a total increase of 
 $.3,4(;(J .100.40. tlur ordinary expenses which 
 were $14,345,500, for the yearilSO'J 70, will 
 by this addition be advanced to $17,812,- 
 000 08. 
 
 Since that three millions and a half of new 
 imposts must be levied, we shall see in 
 what proportion they should bo derived from 
 inland revenue and customs. Saying that 
 the receipts from excise are increased by 
 $1,135,188 44 ; and from customs by $2,378,- 
 856.64 ; there shall be an additioa of $3,S14,- 
 
 04.').08, exeeeding by $ 17,4.''> I 68 the it.tTease 
 of expenditure, estimated at $.! 460,.',! 40. 
 
 Ill distrihuting these numerous i iiptmta 
 over the diffi'rent sources of revenue, a^'coutit 
 should bo taken of certain interests which 
 require to be watched over. Tli'! uvire 
 clearly to iriikc these di'tinctionH. we 
 may divide merchandiz ', subject to fiscal 
 charges, into three classes: — 1st, arti- 
 cles of liixijry and fancy gorwls : 2iid, 
 the neccsdaries of Mf.', and ,'ird, those 
 things comprisid in the above tw<» elapses, 
 that we can advantageously manufa( turv in 
 this country. 
 
 As to luxuries aii'l fancy goods, high duties 
 may be imposed unon th'^m without in^-rtas- 
 ing in any <legree the price of living o/ of 
 labour. Tlic n-veuue derived from these 
 articles, a-i Smith ob.-ierves, may be r -carded 
 as the voluntary otb.'ring of a people, as those 
 who art! atlectcd by the tax can, without 
 •serious inconvenience, cease to h'.iy tliit g« 
 wliich are tlius affected. The duty on mc. 6- 
 sari< s of life, on the contrary, is nothing more 
 than a direct tax on salaries, and cojue- 
 quently increases the price of labour. It is 
 for this reason that it is desirable, as far as 
 possible, to favour the free importation of 
 these ]»it. 
 
 Of all systems of imposts, land t)x is 
 decidedly the least acceptable in anew coun- 
 try like Canada. The soil returns compHra- 
 tively 80 little, and for some years back the 
 cost of cultivation has been so much incr«as- 
 ed that, by imposing on the farmer a tax 80 
 direct, the value of his property would be so 
 diminished, that we (ihouhl ruin agriculture, 
 which has so much need of being eucoiirai;ed, 
 because it is still our first industry. Besides, 
 we must naturally perceive that in inipoiing; 
 ne V taxes upon agriculture we proportioEate. 
 ly augment the cost of living of the working 
 classes, and thus we should lose, from the 
 industrial point of view, the immense ad van. 
 tages of cheap labour. 
 
 We, however, have merchants who ask for 
 the imposition of a land tax. In' a paper 
 read before the Dominion Board of Trade, at 
 ( >ttawa, Mr. Robert Wilkes, of Toronto, 
 suggested the imposition of a million dnllars 
 on landed property, and of one hundred and 
 twenty-five thousand dollars on the transfer 
 of land. It is unnecebsary to say thiit this 
 paper displayed on the part of its aulhor a 
 great deal more of imagination than of com- 
 mon sense; and that the members of tlcj 
 Board of Trade were very far from wishing 
 to adopt his couclu'iions. 
 
 We remarked before that articles which 
 could be advantageously manufactured in 
 this country sliould be taxed, which wouhi 
 support our manufacturers in entering ir/o 
 competition with foreigners. Amongst 
 these articles there are some of which we 
 have the raw material, such as woolen 
 good.", ironware, glassware, etc., etc, and 
 others of which we can import the raw ma- 
 terial at as small a cost as the English 
 manufaturers, such as cotton. 
 
 To encourage the production of thcsa arti- 
 
8 
 
 clcsinthe country ifl at the gAinc tltno to 
 encourage Iho dtvcloiiiuent of our uutural 
 rcHourct'S. 
 
 To show the |iiantity of raw niattrial 
 which wo should I - ,duct>, and the advance- 
 ment which would take place in our manu- 
 facturer, if we had a tariff which would p'-r- 
 mit U8 to manufacture these articles, we will 
 give a table Hhowing the value of merchan- 
 dise imported, the percentage of duty upon 
 them, the tariff to which tliey are Buhject, 
 and on the other side the value of th(! raw ma- 
 terial entering into the conntruction of these 
 articles ^hich we have exported. \Vo will 
 take for a ba8is of this table the figures 
 given in the "Movement of Commerce for 
 18G9-7()" ; the amount of importation having 
 steadily increased since that tinv, these 
 fiEures will give to th(^ comparison a foun- 
 dation of which it will he imposnilile to 
 contest the correctness. Here is the table ; — 
 [See Table I.] 
 
 As may be seen by this table, wo im- 
 ported in that year for $i:.,H82,.'')Hm ot ordinary 
 mcrcliiindisi', and exported during the same 
 period for $'^8,096,3012 of raw material em- 
 ployed in the manufacture of these goods, 
 which brought to the Government but $-,- 
 990,50,"). 
 
 lieeumiug all these details in a few words 
 we will give the rules upon which the re- 
 vision of the tariff should be based. 
 
 1st. Reduce so for as possible the duties 
 on the necessaries of life. 
 
 2ijd. Increase the duties on those articles 
 imported which can advantageously be manu- 
 factured in this country, at all events, those 
 of which we produce the raw material. 
 
 3id. Place very heavy duties on luxuries 
 and fancy goods. 
 
 It is in the ap])lication ot these rules that 
 wo suggest the proposed cbanKes in the ta- 
 riff indicated in the following table, taken 
 from the "Movements of Trade for 18G9- 
 70." The table gives the actual ttirilV, the 
 duties which it yielded in 1870, the value of 
 the merchandise irapoited, the tariff pro- 
 posed, the duties which it will give,(i!jd also 
 the increase of revenue which would result 
 from it ; 
 
 [See Tiil.le II.] 
 
 Such should be the Canadian tariff to ena- 
 ble us to meet all the exigencies of our po- 
 sition. In the projiosition which we have 
 made, the duties on importations will not 
 affect the necessaries of life, const quently 
 the pi ice of labour will not be affected, and 
 it will favour the creation and development 
 of certain manufactures, the raw material for 
 which will be admitted free of duty, while 
 articles which we produce have a high duty 
 attached to them. 
 
 These changt;s are also required by the 
 necessities of the public lervice, and we 
 have endeavoured to draw jirolit from the 
 position of alTairs which creates this neces- 
 «ity, by giving to the chaiigts a tendency to 
 protect our manufactures. 
 
 I 
 
 If these changfs produce the good results 
 which we have reason to expect, from the 
 industrial point of view, the increase of cus- 
 toms receipts will not in al! probability reach 
 the figure at which we place it. Thus if we 
 import but for $0,000,000 of woolens, instead 
 of for $<!,9(;a,,'j52, as we have estimated, it 
 is evident that the increase of five per cent , 
 which we have proposed, will not realize the 
 $343,427 GO, upon which we calculated. But 
 the error wtll bo but nominal, as population 
 through manufacturing industry will increase 
 more than the importation of articles affect- 
 ed by duties will fall off. But supposing a 
 slight dfticit in the revenue, it must also 
 he supposed thot the expenditure will not ] 
 at once reach the amount which we have j 
 indicated; this will not take place in all pro- ' 
 liability for six or seven years, when manu- • 
 fuctuies will have added half a million to i 
 our population. \ 
 
 One miro observation before dobiug this 
 tirst part. 
 
 At the last meeting of the Dcminior 
 Board of Trade, certain delegates, more 
 especially Mr. Jtyan, of Montreal, suggesteil 
 the sub.stitution of specitic for ad lalorcri. 
 duties, for the purposi! of preventing didi- 
 culties between tlie merchants and customs 
 ollicials. This proposition seems still more 
 unacceptable, as s|)ecific duties ate nearly 
 always unjust, as by it the same (barge is 
 made for nn inferior article as for a fir.st cla=H 
 article. The general introduction of specific 
 duties would create a monopoly, detrimental 
 to the poor. Tiiis is evident ; the question 
 has long been discussed and agreed upon by 
 economi.-ts. 
 
 These changes will but inTcaso the 
 average of our tariff by 2 01 per cent, that is, 
 the dItTerence between 7.90 jier cent repre- 
 senting the average which gives $0,4()2,9t0 
 of duties, on $74,814,399 of merchandise 
 under the tariff of lsr,0-70, and 9 91 per cent 
 representing the avernge which gives $11,- 
 800,743 of duties on ^^74,814, 339 under the 
 proposed tariff, which as we have just seen 
 will increase the customs revenues by 
 $2,397,538 70. 
 
 Now that it has been seen in detail the 
 changements which wc suggest to be intro- 
 duced into tlie customs laws, the reason why 
 we ask them, and the increase of revenue 
 which they will create, we will clasi ify the 
 different articles in the order of tariff which 
 we propose, and later we speak of the modi- 
 cations which should take place in the ex- 
 cise laws.

 Wo have seen that to meet the extraordin- 
 ary cxpt.nditurts that we must make duiint; 
 %h\; m-xt few yearn, it will be necfSHary that 
 the revenue from cuBtoms duties should be 
 liKii'ased$2.37a,H56.5i; and the inland re- 
 venue, $1,035,188 .44. Let ufl now Hee how 
 this hitter sum should bo divided over the 
 dilVereiit sources of inland revenue. 
 
 For tlie year ISO'J-TO this source of revenue 
 gave to the Government $4,110,815.74, as

 This increase in the cost of cullinff, and 
 slidnge and boomage is quite trifling, and in 
 no way onerous for the wood trade, wliich 
 yields immense profits to those engaged in 
 it, whicli can be increased at will the more 
 easily as they have their market at their ex- 
 clusive disposition. 
 
 As to the increase in Canal tolls, it should 
 not bear upon the quality, but upon the 
 quantity solely. That is to say, if the Gov- 
 ernment expends twelve millions for giving 
 7i.U<>{. w I to the canals a double tonnage capacity, this 
 ;is,i;>r).'jo , tonnage at the present rate will at least in- 
 crease the tolls 25 per cent. 
 
 Now to resume the different increases.

 On these different sources of revenue we 
 have to create an increase of $1,035.- 
 ]S8 44. But it is quite as natural that these 
 duties should, as in the case of the customs' 
 dutiej!, bear heaviest upon those articles 
 which arc least necessary to life. It is for 
 this reason tliat spirits, which, far from being

 By adding to the revenue, as shown by 
 the public accounts for 1869-70, all the in- 
 crease which wo have suggested, we reach 
 
 necessary to life, often becomes a cause of ' a total revenue of $17,300,482.78, divided 
 
 death and disorder, should be mo.st heavily thus:

 charged. In all countries the manufacture 
 and sale of spirituous and fermeuted liquors 
 Is lieavily taxed. In England this tax was 
 raised for the first time in the reign of Queen 
 Anne. 
 
 Thus, without inconvenience, the revenue 
 from the excise tax on spirits may be in„ 
 creased by $554,7^,1.43 ; on fermented 
 li(|Uors by $4,294.94 ; and by $()1,1T8. 12 on 
 malt, wliich is tlie basis of all these prepara- 
 .tions.

 This amount still leaves a deficit of $505,- 
 G17.20; as the expenditure will be swelled 
 as we have estimated by $11,^02,099.90. 
 But it must not be forgotten that we have 
 placed at a very high figure the expense to 
 be incurred for the enlargement of the canals

 increased to $148,032.04, and those on to- . very low. If we may believe one of the richest

 b(^ increased by $20,800, by the following : double the trade of Montreal ; all the largo 
 
 vessels which navigate the upper lakes 
 could then come here. 
 
 We are convinced that in introducing into 
 our fiscal lavs the^ changes which we have 
 .sug'gestecf, 'the r,eventie* will certainly cover

 And now, wu pray all men who think 
 
 about tho industrial question, or the future 
 of their country, to examine this feeble at- 
 tempt. The criticiHrns made upon it can but 
 throw further light upon the great question 
 of Industry, which encloses tho secret of our 
 future national existence. Lot tho Govern- 
 ment raise tho tariff, and we shall see before 
 us an era of prosperity worthy of our patriotic 
 aspirations.
