The ;'ren( am own Outrtapondeze:. Ottawa, Sept. let, 1000.. Of the miner questions to which con - attention has been given by Parliament during the ,last couple of sessions the principal perhaps is that of the Government's policy with regard to the iutunetactnre and sale of binder twine. r characterize it as a minor .glut stien ::imply because it cannot be considered a matter of supremo state Importance, at the wino time the price of binder twine closely affects the in- dividual farmer that the subject has received au amount of attention out of proportion to its actual weight. As however the Opposition have ohosen to .give the matter so much prominence,. and, it roust be confessed have so grossly misrepresented the facts in the hope of snatching a few v.tes from the con- sumer, to whom the very practical; and concrete fact presents itself that he is paying more to -day for his binder twine than he did two .or three years ago, a little space may be profitably devoted to its consideration. A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. only effect of each. a reduction iu • the sale price of thio Government output would have been so embarrass and seriously injure private enterprise. Neither Mr. Taylor no any other critic of the Government's policy has attempt- ed to produce evidence of his charge that there was a monopoly in existence ; indeed all the evidence is to the con- trary. The various wholesale dealers and manufacturers sold their twine to those engaged in the retail trade throughout the country in such quanties as they were likely to find a market for in their own locality, The variations in the price received CONTRADICTS THE STORY of may understanding between thew, and shows the price they sold to the re- tail dealers did not differ materially from the price which the Government received from the wholesale purchaser. Last year owing to the war lathe Philip- pine Island the price of the raw material was greatly enhanced and the dealers who had twine on hand which had been made when the price was lower natur- ally took advantage of. the opportun- ity t.) sell their twice at the increased price. Take an example of transactions in Dr. Sproule's own county of Grey. There the Plymouth agencies sold their twine to the numerous dealers at from five aucl a half to seven cents a pound with a reduction of w5 a ton on car lots. The average price received from the re- tail merchants by the wholesale dealers was six cents a pound. The Hobbs Company sold in. the village of Mark - dale, in which Dr. Sproule resides, binder twine at from five and a half to six and a half cents a pound. The aver- age which they received from the quantities which they SOLD IN THE COUNTY On GREY was as near as may be six cents apouud; and the sales of the Deering Company of Chicago in the same county averaged five and seven -eights cents a pound, or a little less than the amount received by some of the other companies. These facts show conclusively that there was no combination among the wholesale dealers and manufacturers to put up the price to the consumers. The truth is that from the commencement of the Spanish•American war down to the be- ginning of the present year the price of cordage material was enormously en- hanced in value. This increase of price took place during 1$98 after most. of the sales by wholesale men had been made, but towards the end of the season there was an advance in price. Early in March 1898 the price rose a quarter of a cent a pound, towards the close of the month there was another increase of a quarter of a cent a pound and in June the price varied from nine and a quarter, to ten and a half cents according to the grade of the article. Further evidence that the Government was conducting its business upon The manufacture of binder twine by convict labor in Kingston Penitentiary should be a simple business proposition, undertaken by the Government with the one object of providing employment for the convictswhich will thus produce a portion of their cost of maintenance, 'without entering into undue competition without outside manufacturers. Tho present Government did not introduce this industry into the Penitentiary. They found it established there when they assumed office and their business as trustees of the public funds was to utilize it to the best advantage in the interests of the community. The late Government had employed a travelling agent to dispose of the output upon commission; tenders were not called for, and indeed their policy of employing an agent precluded the possibility of selling on. tender. . The agent on commission proved an absolute failure, and some of the goods which he sold in 1896 are not paid for yet. Moreover the present Government, when they assumed con- trol in July, 1896, found an entire season's output in stock with the pur- chasing season over for that year. BINDER TWINE DETERIORATES to such an extent by keeping that it is of little value if not sold the same year that it is made, so that not only did the late Government fail to secure payment of what was sold, but they incurreda heavy loss by failing to dispose at all of the bulk of the year's output. The present Government at once offered the stock for sale, advertising for public tender, and the sale was made to Messrs. Coll Bros., of St. John, N. B. the highest tenderer. This firm subsequently dis- posed of their purchase to the Hobbs Hardware Co., of London, in the ordin- ary way of business,—a transaction in which the Government had, of course no concern or control whatever. The fol- lowing year, after a similiar calling for tenders by public advertisement, the output was purchased by Messrs. Bate .& Son of Ottawa. The statement has been made and frequently reiterated by Mr. George Taylor, Dr. Sproule, and others, in the House and outside of it, that there was a combination among the manufacturers to put up the price upon the farmer, and. that the Government was party to the combine. That there is not a scintilla of truth in this allegation is evident from the fact that THE ENTIRE OUTPUT from the Kingston Penitentiary is only five hundred tons a year while the total amount consumed in the country is not less than eight times that quantity. If therefore the Government had reduced the cost to the purchaser to the mere ' cost of production on this five hundred NO'm ANI) ('d»1,DI3' arcs. The estimate Of the crops in Ontario for /KO, as prepared by the bureau, of industries, is of a most satisfactory Datura. In all standard grains the yield per acre is reported to be above the aver- age for the past eighteen years, with the exception of peas, which, owing to the ravages of the pea weevil, aro not as largely oultivatod no formerly, The aereag o of the various crops has either increased cr remained about the sacro as last yea)`.

The re- port contains a review of the work done during tho year 1809 and a review of the work to be done by the associations dur- ing the present year, A number of the most practical papers read at the live stock meetings during the year are pub- lished, as well as a full report, with a number of illustrations of the Ontario Provincial Winter Fahr, One of the most important features in connoctiou with the fair is the block test camped - tion. Tho animals are judged alive, and killed and judged as carcases. Expert butchers are judges, and taking the car casses as illustrations, in addition to awarding prizes, they give information to those in attendance as to what sort of carcasses is required for the market, In the report is also published a memoran- dum received from the Dominion Live Stock Commissioner with reference to annual auction sales of pure-bred stock whioh it is expected will be held at dif- ferent points throughout the province. The report is a very valuable one for stockraise.rs. Sine° 1878, when the Mackenzie Government was defeated, the deficits in the Postoffice Department have been as follows: la dor Oper;.tions STRICT BUSINESS LINES and giving every advantage to the consumer is in the fact that directly there was a slump in the price Of raw material the Government is on hand to take advantage of it, with the result that this season the Penitentiary output, in common with that of the private producer, is offered to the consumer at greatly reduced prices. Here, as previously, the Government price is absurdity market • the controlled byte of the contention that the Penitentiary article, which is but one -eight of the total supply can control the market is too manifestly apparent to need furth- er demonstration. It is only necessary to add that the product of last year was disposed of in the same business -like manner by public tender, and in spite of the contention of Mr. Taylor and others that those who secured the contracts before made big money out of thorn there were only four tenders received, and the contract of course was awarded to the highest tenderer. This year every opportunity has been given the farmer to purchase direct if he so desires, but the Tory critics have not succeeded in convincing him of his grievances, apparently, for ho has only availed himself of the pri- vilege to it limited extent.

Tho total of the butter pro- duced was over $104,000. This gives some idea of the value to the farmers of the Northwest and to county generally of the work of the Agricvltural depart - Meat in encouraging dairying in the West. Similar success promises to at- tend the efforts of the department to encourage chicken raising. A trial ship- ment of chickeus was sent to England early in the present year upon which, after paying all charges, a net profit of 53 cents a pair was realized. This is a pretty clear indication that there is money in chicken raising for. the Can- adian farmer. 1897.... .... ... 586,540 1898.... ..., .... 47,602 1899,... .... .... 398,917 It will be seen from. the above figures that in 1898 Mr. Mulock had got the de- ficit to a vanishing point, and in 1899 it was less than $400,000, despite the con- cession of two -cent domestic postage and Imperial penny postage. There is one thing to which'I wish to call attention, says Waldo F. Brown in Farm ancl Home, and that is the fact that prosperity ou the farm gives a chance to take things easy in the deeline of life better than most callings. Once out of debt and the farm in good con- dition the farmer can hire the hard work done and take the lighter work on him- self, looking after the poultry and the garden, and let younger and stronger hands take the lead, while in many oth- er callings the man must work in harness every day or give up. The successful doctor, lawyer, preacher, or manufac- turer has built his success by personal qualities and cannot delegate the care to others, but the farmer can direct the work on the farm and do the head work while others furnish the muscle, After year with piles, when they could be cured without risk, expense, or din. ger of an operation by using Dr. Chase's Ointment, tate only preparation editnlg, ortprotrudi n g piles. fuelling, I)ev. 7.

Discussing Mr. Smalley's eulogy of r Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Montreal Wit- ness it-ness says: "Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as a French-Canadian, of whom French-Can- adians are justly proud, were able to secure the dispatch of the contingents with the least possible amount of racial' fiction. This is what the Times corres- pondent points out in his letter; and it was pointed out by the Witness at the time the contingents were sent and again when the matter was debated in the Dominion Parliament. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the leader of the French Canadians, and all but a few followed his lead in this matter. Mr. Bergeron, Mr. Casgrain and Mi. Monk, all Conser- vatives, supported the sending of the contingents as loyally and patriotically as Sir Wilfrid, and would have support- ed Sir Charles Tupper had he been in power in sending the contingents. Btit would soy ono of all of these l wench Canadian Conservative leaders have ex- ercised Onehalf, the effective influence which Sir Wilfrid Laurier as Premier was able to exercise? To ask the ques- tions is to answer it. But the division on Mr. Boatassa's motion, in which as many Conservatives as Liberals voted with Mr. fourassa, proves that the united influence of the French Conser- vative leaders over their very small party was not anything like as effective as Sir Wilfrid's over the Liberals.
