Why Not Ontario. The Irishman's staple, the potato, does not seem to be as popular in On- tario as a money -making crop as it is in somo other parts of the Dominion. Outside of Simcoe county, the potato crop can scarcely bo said to bo gen- erally grown on a commercial scale, It is estimated that for nine months of the year 75 per cent. of the potatoes consumed in the city of Toronto are imported from the Maritime Pro- vinces. It reflects little credit on On- tario growers that these maritime po- tatoes invariably command prices ranging from 10 to 15 cents a bag higher than the price quoted for On- tario potatoes. Why is it that Mari- time potatoes command a premium over the home grown variety ? The reason given by produce dealers is that in Maritime sections, potato growing is made a business. In some sections every farmer will have from five to 10 or even 20 acres of potatoes. All the farmers in a section and some- times all in a whole county will grow the same varietyofUniform t potato. carload lots, therefore, can easily be obtained. A carload lot of Ontario potatoes may contain a dozen varie- ties widely differing in color, shape and size.

Isle feet were up, his pipe was going, the smell of the new spring earth was in his nostrils. Out in the harrowed fields the grain was show- ing in long green lines,, while on the rolling hills across the river the sea- son's hay was standing in tangled. richness , Mingled with the songs of birds, his eager ear caught a sound quite as. attractive -the insidious something which told him pf abundant and progressive life. It was his hour of pleasure, and he enjoyed it to the full. But on this particular evening he was doomed to become the prey of a foreign influence which threat- ened to turn his contented brooding into a fit of melancholy. As he watch- ed his fields he began to estivate his profits, subtracting expenditures from receipts and calculating how the for- mer'might be reduced. The things he had to buy, the wear and tear on the things he already possessed were duly taken into account. Agricultural Scare Crow At this point, that agricultural scare crow, the tariff, stalked into his solilo- quy. He recalled' fragments of the pamphlets and newspapers he had read, wild words from the inaccurate orations .lie had heard on the subject, all of which claimed to have proven that the tariff was the yoke upon the Canadian farmer's neck that chained him to perpetual slavery on the land. If these allegations' were true, the tariff, and those corpulent monopol- ists who were represented as profit- ing by its existence, would take their toll of every broad acre he possessed. This was the reason, then, that there was not a larger margin between his annual debits and credits. Farmer Jones put down his feet. IIe leaned anxiously forward and scanned the fields already disappear- ing in the twilight as though capital- ists, with giant hands, were sntch- ing them bodily away. He could easily imagine that he saw stout little men, with seal rings and heavy watch chains, scurrying over the fences, carrying bushels of wheat, sheaves of corn and baskets of fruit. Depressed by his vision, Farmer Jones put away his now tasteless pipe. In a Pessimistic Mood "Blast them!" he remarked, refer- ring to the absent tariff makers, "I wish I had them out in the hay field on a hot day. I'd take the humps off the stomachs and put them on their backs.” This remark showed tbat the genial Jones was in an extremely pessimistic mood, which compelled him to turn his back on his fields, enter his house, and sit down before his great old• fashioned desk with its quaint pigeon holes full of musty books and papers. Mr. Jones' intention was to reduce himself to a state of absolute depres- sion by reading anti -tariff literature, but his attention was arrested by a blue book which had just arrived that day from Ottawa. It contained the returns of the Customs Department. Mr. Jones glanced through the order- ly array of figures and terse signifi- cant statements, so different from those which had threatened to under- mine the cheerfulness of his disposi- tion a few minutes before. He no- ticed that the duty collected on spirits and wines imported into Canada dur- ing 1910 amounted, to $6,955,645.40, which went into the Dominion treas- ury and helped to make up the total revenue of the country.. Who Pays This Bill? "Who pays that six millions?" asked Farmer Jones of himself. "I don't drink spirits. No one on this concession drinks. Practically no one in the township touches liquor. We have had local option for three years and .c has not been sold in the county for that time. e "Clearly the farmers about here do not pay'; any of that six millions. Who dc#3 then? Temperance statis- tics show that most liquor is con- sumed in large cities, where there are at least two distinct classes of peo- ple, the very rich and the very poor. A duty on liquor is a tax on a luxury. It tends to place it beyond the reach of the poor and takes a little of the extra pocket money of the rich. Therefore, it has a moral effect on the poor at all events. Moreover, it does not tax a necessity such as bread. Therefore, a great sum is added to the revenues of the country. Where is the harm in that bit of the tariff?" More Customs Returns • Farmer Jones, after arriving at this stage of his argument with himself, turned over more pages of the cus- toms returns, Having started with one kind of intoxicating liquors he de- termined to find out how much other kinds were adding to the national pocket of Canada. He found that the duties on ale, porter and lager beer amounted to $211,733.$3 in 1910. Ale, porter or beer had neVer touched his palate, or those of 'his four sons. Wine was a mere mysterietis stranger. He had read about it in the Bible, and fully believed in its powers as mocker, but had never seen it, to his knowledge, and he would have staked his farm that Mrs, Jones had never gazed on it when it was red or any other color. Yet, those intoxicating liquors, which were unfamiliar bevels, ages to him and to all his aequain" Mime, furnished over six millions of. customs duties, Mr, donee is Puzzled Mr, Jones knew that all the nation•' al revenues are "pooled," that is, put into one vast account, from which all expenses are paid. His taxes went in with the rest, .It was quite clear, therefore, that his taxes would be legs. ened in proportion to the amount of national revenue derived from other sources than a direct tax on land, Consequently, those six millions, col- lected in duties on intoxicating liquor, lessened to some degree the taxes on, his property. - Mr. Jones was pep- plexed. He had been taught that the tariff was his enemy. In this case, at any rate, it was .his friend. He con-- tinued to run over the items In thea. schedules. The duty on animals im-1 ported into Canada during 1910 amounted to $167,360.38; on butter, $15,702.48;. on eggs, $20,306.42; on grain and products, $273,424.17; on green fruit, $267,937,9.4; and on vege- tables, $350,661,85. • The effect of this duty was twofold; $1,095,381SS4 was added to the nation- al revenue, and his competitors were placed under a handicap in competi- tion for the Canadian market. He had all these articles on he market him- self, Therefore, this much -abused, tariff was conserving a selling field for him and making his rivals help pay his taxes. Helping Him Out Mr. Jones, being a man of ingenious turn of mind, looked at the problem as it affected him in another way. He knew what few realize -that out of the special revenues of the country the majority of the great public works are financed. He thought musingly of the outcry which would be raised by some of his tight-fisted neighbors if a levy was made upon them directly to build the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail- way. Yet this great transcontinental would benefit their agricultural com- munity. Farmer Jones began his cal- culations again. • Rock cut, fill, timber land and open prairie averaged, railway'construction costs about $36,000 per mile. The duty on spirits for 1910 would build 170 miles of the Transcontinental. The combined revenuee derived from the duty on animals, butter, eggs, • grain and its products, green fruit and vegetables, would build 31 miles. The consumers of intoxicants, and his riv- als who had farm produce lo sell, were actually paying for the railroad which would transport his produce to a wider market than it had enjoyed before the advent of the line. The next item upon which his at- tention rested was "Electrical Appar- atus," on which the revenue 'collected through the duty in 1910 amounted to $909,482.72, There was not a cent's worth of electrical apparatus • used within a. radius of -ten miles of where Mr. Jones lived. Dwellers of towns and cities used electrical apparatus, and consequently paid all or part of the duty on it.. The amount collected through this duty went into the na- tional treasury and eased the financial burden of Farmer Jones. "It strikes me," said Farmer Jones finally, "that a moderately protective tariff is not so black as it has been painted." A Great Country He . began to analyze the present period of Canada's industrial and commercial development. The Grand Trunk Railway was linking up two oceans. Would it have been built if a plebiscite had been taken in a country where the agricultural classes aro in the majority in the absence of a sys- tem of moderate protection? Would the C.P.R. have been built out of the proceeds of direct land taxes? Farm- er Jones was inclined to answer these questions in the negative. The Georgian Bay Canal, connecting•Port Arthur and Montreal, will be built some day; the Welland Canal will be deepened; the St, Lawrence Canals will be enlarged and a great water- ways will be opened for ocean steam- ers to the head of the Great Lakes.' What does the completion of these vast public works mean to the farm- ers of Canada, particularly those in the Prairie Provinces who have grain to ship across the Atlantic? The cost of maintaining the militia, the army, the great non -dividend -earning public services are direct charges on the national revenue. They must be paid. If a tariff secures part of the bill it. lessens the inevitable burden of direct taxation on the land, income taxes, poll taxes or business taxes, imposed on all urban and rural communities. It was inidnight when Farmer Jones, having smoked three pipes of horse -grown tobacco, made a state- ment to hiniself. "1'11 bring this thing up at the next meeting of the lxrange," lie said. "There is too much aimless talk about 'bloated capitalists' and 'down trodden farmers' indulged in by the orators who visit us. I'll take the cestofns returns over and read a few hard facts and figures to -the boys." "Farmer Antes," he continued to himself, "is not paying all the taxes in this country as he has been led to belieVe, and he is getting a good deal of benefit from the money expended. or. the nation. Even if I am paying; taxes on a few things because of this protective tariff, it seems to me I am benefitting in part from it as well as from the. taxes levied on all other classes. And more, I am paying my own way as a Self-respecting citizen ought to do," concluded Farmer Jones.

Isle feet were up, his pipe was going, the smell of the new spring earth was in his nostrils. Out in the harrowed fields the grain was show- ing in long green lines,, while on the rolling hills across the river the sea- son's hay was standing in tangled. richness , Mingled with the songs of birds, his eager ear caught a sound quite as. attractive -the insidious something which told him pf abundant and progressive life. It was his hour of pleasure, and he enjoyed it to the full. But on this particular evening he was doomed to become the prey of a foreign influence which threat- ened to turn his contented brooding into a fit of melancholy. As he watch- ed his fields he began to estivate his profits, subtracting expenditures from receipts and calculating how the for- mer'might be reduced. The things he had to buy, the wear and tear on the things he already possessed were duly taken into account. Agricultural Scare Crow At this point, that agricultural scare crow, the tariff, stalked into his solilo- quy. He recalled' fragments of the pamphlets and newspapers he had read, wild words from the inaccurate orations .lie had heard on the subject, all of which claimed to have proven that the tariff was the yoke upon the Canadian farmer's neck that chained him to perpetual slavery on the land. If these allegations' were true, the tariff, and those corpulent monopol- ists who were represented as profit- ing by its existence, would take their toll of every broad acre he possessed. This was the reason, then, that there was not a larger margin between his annual debits and credits. Farmer Jones put down his feet. IIe leaned anxiously forward and scanned the fields already disappear- ing in the twilight as though capital- ists, with giant hands, were sntch- ing them bodily away. He could easily imagine that he saw stout little men, with seal rings and heavy watch chains, scurrying over the fences, carrying bushels of wheat, sheaves of corn and baskets of fruit. Depressed by his vision, Farmer Jones put away his now tasteless pipe. In a Pessimistic Mood "Blast them!" he remarked, refer- ring to the absent tariff makers, "I wish I had them out in the hay field on a hot day. I'd take the humps off the stomachs and put them on their backs.” This remark showed tbat the genial Jones was in an extremely pessimistic mood, which compelled him to turn his back on his fields, enter his house, and sit down before his great old• fashioned desk with its quaint pigeon holes full of musty books and papers. Mr. Jones' intention was to reduce himself to a state of absolute depres- sion by reading anti -tariff literature, but his attention was arrested by a blue book which had just arrived that day from Ottawa. It contained the returns of the Customs Department. Mr. Jones glanced through the order- ly array of figures and terse signifi- cant statements, so different from those which had threatened to under- mine the cheerfulness of his disposi- tion a few minutes before. He no- ticed that the duty collected on spirits and wines imported into Canada dur- ing 1910 amounted, to $6,955,645.40, which went into the Dominion treas- ury and helped to make up the total revenue of the country.. Who Pays This Bill? "Who pays that six millions?" asked Farmer Jones of himself. "I don't drink spirits. No one on this concession drinks. Practically no one in the township touches liquor. We have had local option for three years and .c has not been sold in the county for that time. e "Clearly the farmers about here do not pay'; any of that six millions. Who dc#3 then? Temperance statis- tics show that most liquor is con- sumed in large cities, where there are at least two distinct classes of peo- ple, the very rich and the very poor. A duty on liquor is a tax on a luxury. It tends to place it beyond the reach of the poor and takes a little of the extra pocket money of the rich. Therefore, it has a moral effect on the poor at all events. Moreover, it does not tax a necessity such as bread. Therefore, a great sum is added to the revenues of the country. Where is the harm in that bit of the tariff?" More Customs Returns • Farmer Jones, after arriving at this stage of his argument with himself, turned over more pages of the cus- toms returns, Having started with one kind of intoxicating liquors he de- termined to find out how much other kinds were adding to the national pocket of Canada. He found that the duties on ale, porter and lager beer amounted to $211,733.$3 in 1910. Ale, porter or beer had neVer touched his palate, or those of 'his four sons. Wine was a mere mysterietis stranger. He had read about it in the Bible, and fully believed in its powers as mocker, but had never seen it, to his knowledge, and he would have staked his farm that Mrs, Jones had never gazed on it when it was red or any other color. Yet, those intoxicating liquors, which were unfamiliar bevels, ages to him and to all his aequain" Mime, furnished over six millions of. customs duties, Mr, donee is Puzzled Mr, Jones knew that all the nation•' al revenues are "pooled," that is, put into one vast account, from which all expenses are paid. His taxes went in with the rest, .It was quite clear, therefore, that his taxes would be legs. ened in proportion to the amount of national revenue derived from other sources than a direct tax on land, Consequently, those six millions, col- lected in duties on intoxicating liquor, lessened to some degree the taxes on, his property. - Mr. Jones was pep- plexed. He had been taught that the tariff was his enemy. In this case, at any rate, it was .his friend. He con-- tinued to run over the items In thea. schedules. The duty on animals im-1 ported into Canada during 1910 amounted to $167,360.38; on butter, $15,702.48;. on eggs, $20,306.42; on grain and products, $273,424.17; on green fruit, $267,937,9.4; and on vege- tables, $350,661,85. • The effect of this duty was twofold; $1,095,381SS4 was added to the nation- al revenue, and his competitors were placed under a handicap in competi- tion for the Canadian market. He had all these articles on he market him- self, Therefore, this much -abused, tariff was conserving a selling field for him and making his rivals help pay his taxes. Helping Him Out Mr. Jones, being a man of ingenious turn of mind, looked at the problem as it affected him in another way. He knew what few realize -that out of the special revenues of the country the majority of the great public works are financed. He thought musingly of the outcry which would be raised by some of his tight-fisted neighbors if a levy was made upon them directly to build the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail- way. Yet this great transcontinental would benefit their agricultural com- munity. Farmer Jones began his cal- culations again. • Rock cut, fill, timber land and open prairie averaged, railway'construction costs about $36,000 per mile. The duty on spirits for 1910 would build 170 miles of the Transcontinental. The combined revenuee derived from the duty on animals, butter, eggs, • grain and its products, green fruit and vegetables, would build 31 miles. The consumers of intoxicants, and his riv- als who had farm produce lo sell, were actually paying for the railroad which would transport his produce to a wider market than it had enjoyed before the advent of the line. The next item upon which his at- tention rested was "Electrical Appar- atus," on which the revenue 'collected through the duty in 1910 amounted to $909,482.72, There was not a cent's worth of electrical apparatus • used within a. radius of -ten miles of where Mr. Jones lived. Dwellers of towns and cities used electrical apparatus, and consequently paid all or part of the duty on it.. The amount collected through this duty went into the na- tional treasury and eased the financial burden of Farmer Jones. "It strikes me," said Farmer Jones finally, "that a moderately protective tariff is not so black as it has been painted." A Great Country He . began to analyze the present period of Canada's industrial and commercial development. The Grand Trunk Railway was linking up two oceans. Would it have been built if a plebiscite had been taken in a country where the agricultural classes aro in the majority in the absence of a sys- tem of moderate protection? Would the C.P.R. have been built out of the proceeds of direct land taxes? Farm- er Jones was inclined to answer these questions in the negative. The Georgian Bay Canal, connecting•Port Arthur and Montreal, will be built some day; the Welland Canal will be deepened; the St, Lawrence Canals will be enlarged and a great water- ways will be opened for ocean steam- ers to the head of the Great Lakes.' What does the completion of these vast public works mean to the farm- ers of Canada, particularly those in the Prairie Provinces who have grain to ship across the Atlantic? The cost of maintaining the militia, the army, the great non -dividend -earning public services are direct charges on the national revenue. They must be paid. If a tariff secures part of the bill it. lessens the inevitable burden of direct taxation on the land, income taxes, poll taxes or business taxes, imposed on all urban and rural communities. It was inidnight when Farmer Jones, having smoked three pipes of horse -grown tobacco, made a state- ment to hiniself. "1'11 bring this thing up at the next meeting of the lxrange," lie said. "There is too much aimless talk about 'bloated capitalists' and 'down trodden farmers' indulged in by the orators who visit us. I'll take the cestofns returns over and read a few hard facts and figures to -the boys." "Farmer Antes," he continued to himself, "is not paying all the taxes in this country as he has been led to belieVe, and he is getting a good deal of benefit from the money expended. or. the nation. Even if I am paying; taxes on a few things because of this protective tariff, it seems to me I am benefitting in part from it as well as from the. taxes levied on all other classes. And more, I am paying my own way as a Self-respecting citizen ought to do," concluded Farmer Jones.
