DAIRY MACHINERY.
DAIRY COMPANIES PROTEST AGAINST TARIFF. \ (By Telegraph—Press AsßOciaticn.) PAHIATUA, This Day. Copies of a letter signed by numerous dairy companies have been forwarded to the Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce that the dairy companies respectfully enter a protest against any alteration in the Customs tariff which may go in the direction of increasing the costs of producing butter or cheese. It is apparent if passed in its present form the Bill will have the effect of doing this. We have only to mention dairy machinery, some of which is manufactured abroad, .and is unquestionably much more suitable for dairy factory work than that manufactured in the Dominion or United Kingdom. Dairy companies in the Dominion arc individually and collectively opposed to the tariff which protects local industry (which is always able to pass on the higher manufacturing costs) thus penalising the primary producers who are quite unable to pass on the costs which are added to their already heavy burden.
