PRE —————— - Protection for the Farmer Canada’s First In- dustry and Its Rights “The schedule which is the most unjust of the whole of the tariff schedules of Canada is that relating to farm products. The first tariff schedule that should be raised in this country is the farm products schedule. .... . The farmer in this country today is competing with his fellow farmer in other countries under conditions of absolute unfairness. The goods that he produces are brought into this country under a relative-low tariff or none at all, while he is forbidden access to other countries, save over a tariff that he simply cannot escape.” ‘—Right Hon.
