A TARIFF FOR ROBBERY. How Canadians Buy American Watches Cheaper Than Our Own People CanMore ‘‘Protection” Proposed. i he Canadian Pacific railroad having recently ordered all its employes to provide themselves with watches of a certain grade and named certain American movements as satisfactory, retail jewelers of the dominion are now advertising these movements for sale at a price far bi • low that at which any American jeweler can buy them. The lowest net-cash price of a B. W Raymond Elgin movement to an American jeweler, for example, is $18.16. r lhe Canadian jewel er, advertises it at retail for SB.BO, and this includes the Canadian tariff duty of 25 per cent., so that if he sells it al cost the Elgin factory price to him could not have exceeded $7.04. Our protective duty of 25 per cent, has never been levied to protect the watch trust from cheap foreign watches, but to enable it to sell at a lower rate to foreigners than Ame ’icans; to protect it in skinning the American buyer by preventing watches sold to foreigners at low rates from being sent back to this country. this robbery of the 16,000 American jewelers who sell the watches of the trfist has been limited, it was supposed, to about 15 per cent, or the amount covered by the duty; but now their eyes have been opened to the fact that, so far as Canada is concerned, at least, it is about 4 1 per cent. The new tariff proposes to raise the duty on watches to 49 per cent., not for revenue, but to protect the Amer ican factories in charging the American consumers 40 per cent, more than it charges foreigners.—N. Y. World.
