The sew Umited States tariff duties on lumber and lumber manufactures were shown to several representatives of Ca- nadian lumber companies at Toronto yes- terday afternoon, They all denounced the tariff. Said the president of the Georgia Bay Lumber Company: “It is nothing more or iess than a direct blow at the white pine trade of Canada. The American has the advantage of a protection of $2 as against the Canadian, while they get our logs free of duty. If the United States place $2 duty on pine Jumber, Canadian Jumbermen will demand of the government such legislation relative to the export of Sawlogs as will make Americans feel some of the disadvantages they are trying to im- pose on the lumber trade of Canad: Geo. H. Bertram, vice president of the we 1414 Penna.
