The piece critiques Liberal Free Trade rhetoric by calculating 1912-13 duties on meats, eggs, butter, fish, and breadstuffs, totaling about thirty cents per person annually. It contrasts Canada’s tax burden with Britain’s large food duties and notes the Pure Food Society’s failure to source uncontaminated meals, ending with a jab at Liberal plans for Parliament.
