A Crushing Fact
Our would itriegine, to read the Tory

United Suttee I remember all too
The Tories have published a pant-
„
phlet entitled "Protection for the
110armer." The name 14 • mianomer.
It should bare been caned "Bunk for
the Farmer." It starts off with a
quotation from Mr. Meigheu'e speech.
in which be asserts that If returned
to power he will *lo what be can to es-
tablkh au efficient marketing system
for the Dominion. iThat does he
wean by this 'statement? He bas not

ally hie punters are diaMetrically op-
posed to aesieting the farmer In any
way whatever. 1,Ji, conceptioo 1 ld

the production of wheat In Eastern
Canada, and we have thirty bushels
for every man. woman and child in
the Dominiou. The average eonsomp-
tion is about six bushels per capita.
Mow happy we will all feel when
every mats swallows thirty briehele of
wheat In a year. Is this the beet that
Mr. Molehill has to offer : so far he
has offered nothing else.
We killed Our Care
Thkeountry was offered In 1911 thee
market ce the United States for its
rgrlcultural product's That market
would have been wortb inliliong and
millions to the Canadian farmer. Ar -
*mil real to it would have filled our Weet-
,V4i, _ern land.. It would have provided a
market for our manufecturers, bat the
Tories' told the people of this ronntry
that we dare not sell steers to the peo-
ple of the United Statist. for fear we
would lose our virtue and our patriot-
ism. and sink Into the lowest depths of
degradation. New they tell its that
the United States dealt a terrific blow
at Canada when it closed. that market
sealnet
Once more I gay. go beet to the
facts. The rutted State. proposed
reciprocity In 1911. We refneed it.
For over ten years the United States
kept that offer on its statute hooks.
Until 1922 the Amerlean tariff on all
agrlenitnral products ewe ranch lower
than nure tt wee a elanding offer to
its that If we wanted to get Into the
United State* market we could do so
providing we brought our tariff nn
agricultural products reasonably clow
to their level. We dld not do an he -

/Tories were opposed to wider markets.

The American tariff no wheat Is

little wheat or Sour from the United
