'Were the Trouble Ilea.
(We1lard Tribune.)
A, man up in London the at x day:
who was addreslting the Pat 'one of
Industry, gave some startling figures
as to the costa and selling pr cea of s'i
agricultural machinery. He told that •
Binders wee sold at $140 in three
annual payments with' igterest at 7` ? 1
per cent, which can be bought for $87
cash, and that ploughs are sold at $14
which can be produced for from $4.50
to $4.80, a difference of something
like a 19Q per pent. An esteemed ex-
change in commenting on the figures,
observed that if they are correct it is
little wonder that the farmers are
joining together to protect themselves..
Yes, it is little wonder, but the great,
er wonder to us is that intelligent
men, such as the great proportion of
our farmers are, cannot discriminate a
little better in picking oat the objects
against which the united forces shall
be exerted. They find themselves at
the present time, hampered.and
ground down by a set of huge monop,
ohes, the existence of which in Canada
is directly attributable to a systetu'uf
tariff legislation, that ,they deliberately
voted into being years ago and that
they have regularly upheld as often as
needful ever since. To the Implement
Lords, the Cotton Kings, the Sugar
Barons, the Stove Eingsters they •pay
vast subsidies every day. They are
feeling the pinch now and want to hit
back somewhere. So they are organs.
izing and the first man they are
squeezing the life out is the poor conn -
try nforeltant, who is no more respon>.
sibe for the state of affairs that exist
than the man in the moon. If this is
not trying to clean the stairs by begin.,
niug at the bottom step we don't know
what is. The first step the farmer
must take, if he wishes to emanaillata s
himself from the thraldom of his op-
pressors, is not one looking no higher
than a Tittle smaller rate of profit from
a storekeeper, rather let him turn out
the friends of 'King Monopoly, now in
power at Ottawa, and he will see the
.dawn of a better day for hila and his.
