The Tariff and The Farmer.
On Monday last, Colonel Bell, M.P., asked the Minister of Customs if he would make a statement whilst the Tariff Bill is in committee, showing the actual amounts of increases and decreases after the recent adjustments in the Tariff are given effect; also what is the net result as far as the Tariff effects commodities used by the farming community is concerned. The Minister said that he would be pleased to make a statement, showing the effect on the Customs duty of the increases and decreases in the Tariff, but he could not undertake to supply details of the effect on the duty in so far as they related to goods for the farming community, So many items on the tariff schedules, household goods tor instance, were for all classes of the community that it would be impossible to separate those for the farmers and those for other people.
