IMPORTED GOODS.
Sir, —Your correspondent "Civic" says that if 50 per cent, of our importation of printed matter, stationery, etc., were barred by a protective tariff in favour of the local industry, "it would mean more employment and more money thrown into circulation. - ' In that particular trade, perhaps, but at the expense of other industries, and principally of the primary producer. People who buy imported goods save tho exporter from extinction. If "Civic's" policy were carried to its logical conclusion we would export nothing, obtain no customs revenue, and increase the cost of production and of living all round. Iree Irade.
