De the farmers pass resolutions on
the lino of protection ? What is the
meaning of the petitions presented
every day to this House ? What is
the weaning of the petition of the
(arrange organization that is now be-
fore the Blouse? These petitions
ask not that there should be more
proteetion, but that there should be
idss protection, showing clearly that
the farmers aro not convinced that
protection benefits them. I have
promised to give .the farmer's side of
the question, and I will proceed to
discuss it on the same basis as I have•
discussed it from the manufacturer's
standpuint. The farmers' capital is
$801,600,000. That includes their

The National Policy increases th a price
of home made artielos, and thus large
sums are taken front the consumers
and passed into the hands of lnanu-
facttarers and middle mon. 1 will
give the house an illustration. I
will take a few articles, commencing
with cotton, We rnaufaetured last
year cotton to the value of 89,000,000,
as was estimated by hon. gentlemen
opposite, although hon. members on
this side of the House give a some-
what higher estimate. That cotton
is hicrcased in price by reason of the
duty to the extent of say, 25 per
cent, or ;k2, 250,000, which amount
the consumers have to payr on the
home manufactured article by rea-
son of the duty. In 18614, we im-
ported cotton to the value of $4,007,-
000, on which a duty was paid of
1,140,000. Now, we take the profit
f the importer and retailer, say 40
er cent, divided between the two,
NI
amounts to i$440,000. Add
nese together, the increase of price
n the home made article, the duty
aicl on the imports and the whole -
ale and retail profit on the duty

Now, let us take the iron and steel
goods imported into Canada in 1891,
They amounted in value to $8,84.1,.
000,` and the duty paid was 8;1,457,-
000, The importers' and retailers'
Profits, at say, 40 per cent,amounted
to $982,800, so that the total on im-
ports of these articles was ti 3,439,800,
I can safely.say, lir. Speaker, that
we pay at least two and a half
Million dollars of increased price on
Canadian manufactures of iron and
steel at the lowest calculation, which
when put with the other sum makes
a grand total of :5,939,800 that
comes out of the pockets of the con -
sinners of protected iron and steel
goods in Canada, or in round num-
bers, $0,000,000 a year, which in ten
years would amount to 860.000,000,
a sum which would build the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway. It would
is their income, what is the value of
their output, their crops of every de- o
seription ? In 1892 it was 1110,- p
000,000, The total value of live
stock disposed of, sold or used at tl
home was 832,500,000. The value o
of live stock in 1892 over the value p
of 1891, the increase during the s
Tear, was 88,718,000; of cheese, but-
ter; eggs, wool and fruits of all
kinds, $30,000,000, ..snaking a total
of $181,443,000 as the total income
of the farmers during that year.
What was the cost of production?,
The cost of allseeds was 812,000,000 to
feed for stock, 816,000,000; wages i1
at $253 per year for 486,000 farm.- v
ers and laborers employed in agri- $4
eulture, 8123,000,000; and • now in- 20
stead of allowing 10 per cent. on
capital, as I click for nzantifacturers, 1
will only allow 5 per cent., giving
8.3,000,000, making a total of $194,- $1
000,000 as the cost of production. pr
r { Allowing current. prices and $7
+1' wages, the year resulted in a loss to is
the fariners of 812,157,000, Instead
of having 25 per cent. net gain, as
the manufacturers hacl, the farmers
bad a Ioss—that is, taking the same
wages as are paid to laboring men --
of no less than $12,157,000 on the
transactions of that year. I chal-
lenge any hon. gentleman opposite
to deny these' figures. They are
taken from the official documents.
And these men who have lost over
812,000,000 on the year's trans-
actions are asked to contribute in
the form of duties to pay the menu -
and the result will be 83,88(,,000, of
which only 81,1.40,000 goes into the
revenue of tbe country. rflt0 balance
of 82,696,000 comes out of the con-
sumers and goes into the pockets of
the middle -men and the manufac-
rers. Take coal oil. There were
in
in 1894, 6,540,000 gallons
aloe(' at 8420,575, duty paid,
66,164, importers profits, at say,
per cent, 893,233, retailers profits
at say, 30 per cent—and I ale patting
these percentages smaller than the
persons dealing on coal oil make ---
67,819, making a total of duty and

the horse nlanl,ifactured 0oal.nil.,�r In
1'894 it amounted to 11,000,0.00
gallons. The increase of price by
reason of the duty was say, 4 cents a
gallon. You see -I have come down
2 cents below the actual duty, for it
is admitted by . the producers that
they use 4 cents of the duty as pro-
tection to the Canadian manufactured

It wastes capital that might be in

might give employment to a large
number of people. Let zoo illustrate
Supposing a capitalist was suftieientl
rich to distribute all the imported
steel and • iron manufactures
ported, a certain alnoant of capital
• would be required for the purpose
•a The iron and steel manufactures
- imported amounted to about 810,-
000,000. If there Ovals no duty on
it, the entire product would be pur-
chased for 810,000,000, and its dis-
tribution through the different sec-
. tions of the country would require
about .'? 0 <>9
°� ,00,000 working capital, or
a total of $1`2,000,000 would accom-
plish the distribution of all the iron
and steel manufactures required in
the country. How is it now? I
takes 810,000,000 to purchase the
goods in the first place, $3,000,000
Sire required to pay the duty, and
42,000,000 working capital as be-
fore, for distribution, or 815,000,000
to accomplish the same result. The
distt`ibution of- the article is the
same, the number of hands etnploy-
ed is exactly the sante, the number
of stores required is the saute under'
the one system as under the other.
sen rs inerease of
price by reason of duty on the 11,-
000,000 gallons would amount to
8440,000; and the retailers' profits—
✓ the importer is not in it this tilde --
t would amount to 8132,000, so that
g the grand total of extra costs by
t reason of the duty amounts to 81,-
e 290,216, or in round numbers
- 81,300,000 per annum. Let us take
✓ the industry of boots and shoes.
s There were imported in 1894, ? 247,-
✓ 500 worth, on which a duty was paid
of 861,876, and the retailers and int -
porters profits say, 35 per cent,
h amounted to $21,(157, leaving a total
on imports caused by duty of i83,-
533. TI e boots and shoes mann-,
y facturecl in Canada in 189-1 amount
in round numbers to 818,000,000.
- The increase of price by reason of
the duty was say, 20 per cent,
• amounting to $8,000,000. 'The
duty on boots and shoes is 25 per
cent, but I only put 20 -per cent as
the inereased price on these articles
manufactured at home,and that would
amount to 3,600,000. The retailers
profits was say, 25 per cent. which
would be on boots and shoes 8900,000,
or a grand total on boots and shoes
of $4,583,5313, or in ten years, 845,-
800,000, which is taken out of the
consumers of boots and shoes in this
It country in order to sustain the pro-
tective policy of the Government.I
That would pay the entire cost of
Government for one year and leave D
a surplus of nearly $10,000,000.
Take pie' iron. There was imported s
of pig iron in 1894, 46,106 tons, and
the duty paid on that was s 179,000.
The importers' and retailers' profits'
