People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 April 1897 — New Canadian Tariff Bill. [ARTICLE]

New Canadian Tariff Bill.

The Canadian government has decided on a tariff policy of favoring those countries which favored Canada, consequently there will be a double-column tariff. The general tariff is on the whole an increase on existing duties, and is adverse to the United States. Corn is placed on the free list to benefit the farming community in Canada, also binder twine and barbed wire. All iron duties are increased, but Great Britain will obtain material reduction, while the United States will have to pay higher duties.
