Sights years ago the football. hockiiy and other teams of a cer- tain University were known to be great finishers. Although outplayed during most, of the game at times,

lit was not unusual to see them win

in the final minutes of the game be- |cause of their superior stamina, ' The coaches and trainers were usually given the cred-it for the good condition of the men. No doubt the coaches were entitled to some. and the trainers likewise, but the real cause was that in addition to the sweet oranges usually given at the rest periods, these teams were given candy, sometimes tally. or very often sweet m-ilk chocolate. The idea behind this was that curbo-hydrates, that is starches and sugars, really supply the materials the muscles and other tissues need

WHO PAYS THE DUTY‘!

Sir,-—-It ls to be hoped that the editor of the Patriot, or some one else, will answer the letter of An inquiring Elector, published in your issue of the 10th. inst. Though we have been discussing the matter for the last forty years and more there is still evidently a great deal of misconception and misapprehension concerning the incidence and effects of Protec- tlon. The editor of the Patriot. indeed, seems to be very much "mixed" about the matter. Before the election he supported the theo- ry set forth by Mr Mackenzie King that “Protection is taxation" paid by the people who import. under protective duties; alter the elec- tion he states that the duties im- posed hy the United States govern- ment are paid by the people of P. E. island and other parts of Canada. and the world at large who export potatoes and other things to the States. l have no doubt that there are hundreds of readers of the ‘Patriot who hold views as diametrically opposed to each other.

Yet there is the ‘United States. next door to Canada, the richest country ill the world, with the most highly protective tariff in the world. in which the necessaries of life can all he bought at compara- tively cheap rates. One of my neighbor's girls wanted n particu- larly smart looking pair of shoes. She sent to New York for them. paid the postage and the duty of 20 per cent. imposed by Canada. and yet obtained them at an low a cost as a lei-ls "smart" pair could have been purchased for in Mon- treal or in Charlottetown. Such facts bring home to us the know- ledge that high Protective duties do not always cause high prices. indeed the prices 0i’ cotton goods. woollen goods and other goods, are like those oi’ boots and shoes, cheaper ill the United Slates with its high protective duties then tiley lire in Canada with its low protective duties. If the people of Canada had understood that high duties do not necessarily cause high prices. the policy of Mr. Meighen would. I feel sure have been better supported by the elec- tors than it was.

At any rate, let -un have clenl’ views about this matter, in‘ the light of known facts. alld not de- lusive and contradictory stats- ments such as those set forth by the Patriot. l am, Sir, etc.,"

AN OLD INHABITANT. Queens County, Nov. 17th., i925.

Some Fiscal Nuts For “Freer Traders” T0 Crack

(‘From Toronto Saturday Night.)

The present United States tar- iff’ is a fearful aild wonderful thing. Wonderful as to the man- ller in which it is manipulated so as to favor its own producers. and fearful in its effect upon foreign business rivals. Numerous inter- esting instances have lately come to hand as to just how the‘ United States tariff rates are moved about over-night ill order to effectively shut out foreign imports.

For instance, a Canadian house manufacturing Christmas cards had managed to pick up quite a trade South of the international boundary under a duty of fifteen per cent. However, this was not for long, as keen United States business men in the same line of trade called the attention of the proper official to the situation and instantly the import duty into the U. S. was raised to forty- flve per cent. and the Canadian Manufacturer follnd him- self out in the cold.

IStapeIIsJI-‘letcher, Limited, are Canadian manufacturers of ladies’ dresses. An enterprising salesman while calling on the Windsor, Ont. trade resolved to venture into De- troit with the idea that perhaps he might land an order, even if the duty against him was fifty per cent. He did and come back jubi- lant. The gowns were shipped to Detroit, but alas. they never gm any farther than the customs house for there the shipment was met by a special appraiser who instantly jumped the duty from fifty to nlno- ty per cent., and the order in due course found its way buck into the warehouse of the Cnnadian monu- facturer.

To quote one more instance. though no doubt firms by the doz- en have had a slmililr experience. A. 'I‘ Reid k Co.~manufncture rierk- wear and dress accessories. 20r- ders were taken in the UnltetlStn- tes under the illty per cent. duty then ruling. But upon making de- livery it was found that it had been suddenly raised to ninety per cent.“ thus shutting them out of the market.

Of course we have no right to complain over what Uncle Sam does with hill tariff. That ls sole- ly his own business. However we may, l think, legitimately take is- sue with the manner in which we freely import like goods from the United States. ‘For Instance. in the fiscal year 1924 Uncle 8am sent us in cotton. silk and woollen clothing, deslrnad for women and children. loods to the value of $4.-
