TOUGH ON CANADA.
THE EFFECT OF THE NEW UNITE!) STATES
TARIFF ON HER TRADE.
A dispatch from Ottawa, Out., says:
It appeurs as if the framers of the United
•States tariff changes had studied the dis¬
tinctive products of each province of
Canada, and increased the duties on them
accordingly. The new srlmriule aims at
Ontario In the mattcrof barley
and apples at Quebec and New
Brunswick on horses and hav, and at
Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
on potatoes and other vegetables. Nova
Scotia also gets hard hit in the shape of
increased duties on fish. Those who have
looked into the details of the new tariff
think it is a direct blow at Canadian
trado with tho United States. The duty
on horses is now twenty iVr cent.; the
jprojxMinl is to raise it to thirty per cent
Canada ne t Inst year 17,277 horses, val
«t 12,118,728. to the Unites!
State*. T he increased duty is
leveled against that trade, and
will fall most heavily on Ontario and
Quelwe, whence 10,000 of the horses
were drawn. The duty on cattle, for
rawly twenty per cent, is to be raised to
$10 per head where the rattle are over a
year oi l, and $2 per head where leas.
<’*!'('la sent 87,800 rattle, valued at
#488,200, to the United States last year.
The duty on these impor s would be , un
der the old rate, $0,704. Under the ue vi
rate it would reai h, provided the rattle
are all over a year old, $378,090. Eggs,
now free, it is proposed to tax at the
rate of live cents a dozen. Canada’s ex¬
ports last year were 14,011,017 dozen
The tax at five cents would be $700,000.
It is in done. barley that the gre itest damage
w i’l 1>« The present duty on bar
ley is ten cents per bushel, it is pro
ptosrd to increase the rate to thirty cents
Last year Canada sent 0,984.504 bushels
to the Un ted States. The present duty
on this quantity is $993,450. The new
duty would aggregate $2,5 80,350.
