What does that mean: to the farmera I challenge lion. gentlemen opposite to appeal to this country on the free food question, They are try- ing to draw a red herring across the trail, and they are trying to deceive the labouring olessee in the cities in order to gain come political advan- tage. The good 10 p.m, citizefne of OttawR, Montreal, Toronto or any other of the oitiee are too wily to be tripped by any such appeal as ,[bat. They know that protection means the building up of industries, that it gives them employment, and that they would not get that employment if these industries did not exiet. They know tItet protection to industries cannot exist if you do not give pro- tection to the ferment. The `working Man therefore eaysl If this policy gives me employment at a good wage e am in a position to pay to the farne er a fair price for the products that I use. If you will allow me to apply a phrase which the late GToldwin Smith used at one time with reference to commercial union between laneda and the United States, I would gay that this great policy of protection couples together the interests of the manufacturer, the farmer and the artisan, that it putt them all together MI one seonomic whole, and that if you destroy the interests of one you des- troy the intereetteof a11. The attempt bas been made at various times in this House to bhow that the United States ie a great market for Canadian farm produce. It was also declared here to -night that the farmer has no pro- tection upon anything which he has to sell, I want to read to tate House the list of a few articles under the heading of provisions which some into Canada in competition with the farm products of this country. During the fiscal year 19I4 we imported 8,000,000 lbs. of butter. We are not producing suf- fielent in this country to meet the de- mand. I contend the additional 7e per cent that is levied by this Budget will be a great advantage to the farm- ers of Canada in conserving that mar- ket for them. I am going to give you a list of articles that we import from 1 the United States. During the year 1014 we imported from the United' States 10,000,000 dozens of eggs. We are not produoing enough eggs to supply our market, and therefore the additional tariff of 7e per cent is quite an advantage in our own markets. We also. imported 6,758,000 pounds of lard, lard compound, 934,000 pounds; bacon and ham, 7,150,000 pounds; beef, fresh chilled or frozen, 235,000 pounds; beef, salted, 1,490,000 pounds; dried or smoked beef, 1,204,000 pounds; mutton and lamb, 8,825,000 pounds; pork barrelled in brine, 11,950,000 pounds; or we took from the United States in the fiscal year 1914 no lees than $7,6I5.- 000 worth of provisions. With the • additional duty of 7i per cent., which • " ie applied under this Budget, we give ' the farmers a very great advantage. ▪ We have come . to a period in this • country whore the cry le : "Back to {. the farm." It would not have been necessary for ns to have that slogan 4+ sounded throughout the country, had the tate Government given atter.+. tion to the agricultural industry. Io ▪ the county from which I come, and 4. which is one of the best agricultural , • counties in this Dominion. under the Liberal Administration, be the ten ▪ years from 190I to I910, we lost near- er ly 8,000 of our rural population by 4' migration from the farms to the cities. 4. That looks very bei for the sgrioul- 4, tural industry in any part of the coun- • try. Was anything done by the Lib. oral Government to remedy that con- dition of affairs ? They had every op- ,' portunity; and if they bad taken such • a deep interest in the farming Indus • try, they would have in time applied 4a remedy. Nothing, however, was 4 done, and to -day we are forced to use our utmost endeavours to get the peo- ' ' pie back to the land. I roust give this I+Government, under the leadership of 4, the right lion. the Premier, credit for what it has done for the agricultural claesee, ,lt;t the very Bret session of this Par- liament there was a grant brought down by the Minteter of Agriculture to assist the various provinces along Rhe lines of aid to agriculture. At the succeeding session alt additional grant of $10,000 000 wait brought down by the Minister of Agriculture, that grant et be divided over a period of ten scare, which would mean $1,000,000 a year to be giveu to the provinces for the purpose of aeeisting that great in- dastry. That is having its effect at pretreat, and the farmers have never bests in a better positioe than they are in to -day, Rural mail Warr introduced by my Hon, friends opposite, but itis noored. it to them, and if E Were he their place, I /imply woula conceal that bit of in. formation. They inetituted the rural mail delivery in home ridttags whole it Wait of smile po1Itictri'•ttdvantege, and aro it was tided as a polite:al kxpediertt. Do you think the tannery in my riding Could set rural mail ander the late Government ? Ne, but the tamers in North Yuck and South Orford and Wentworth and other Mere' ridtnge Could, The prevent Oovernmeet are nos givlrg rural malt, irreepeetive of political considerations., to the farm- ers of rile country wherever the pop- ulatton Warrente it, and that le of great advantage to the agricultural Industry, beeenee of its convenience and the addition it Makes to the core forte of farm I:fr. Parcel post is being initiated by this Government, and no doubt in time It *ill be very latgely developed. 1 am enrlry that the Posta aeter General le not in his feat. became I wish to throw towns and villagee throughout the Dominion from any encroachtneete or inroads which 'night be made upon them by the large wholesale besitlettes each as Sinepeoa`a. or Eaton's, of To• ionto, While it is perfectly right and proper to have that zone eysteut to proteet the email towns and villages, it is very unfair to the farmete living at a certain distance from Toronto and other large centres. People weal; about t b e high cost of living. If we want to reduce the high octet, let us abolish that zone system on farm- ers' .producte coming from Western Ontario to the city of Toronto, It would be the means of giving to the people of Toronto cheaper farm pro- duct,, and would be a convenience to Winer(' living more than twenty miles from Toronto,, It is unfair to place an extra tax upon farmers living beyond the zone limit. A. farmer liv- ing close to a city has a greater advan- tage because he has that home market at his door all the time. Therefore, I would auggeat to the Postmaster Gen- eral that he should take this matter into conelderation and trete have the sone system net apply to farm products coming to the various cities in thin Dominion. We have dens much to help the farmer; in. the Weet. In the first place 1 just wish to remind my Hon. friends opposite who come from the West and. who have been speaking about free wheat and the American markets, that if the people of the Weet want any aid, let them come to the province of Ontario, or to Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick, and we will willingly hold out to them a helping band. We have helped them by building up transport• ation facilities for them, and in many other ways. Therefore, I say to the western members: Be careful never to introduce a policy" that will sever the connection existing between the East and tbe West. We have assisted the farmers of the West by building interior and terminal elevatore. Thio Government has gone ahead with the building of the Hudson Bay Realm?, the contract foe which was entered into and signed by the late Govern- ment. I was dieappointed to hear the lion. member for North Oxford (11ir. Nesbitt) say that if he had his way be would tear up the rails on that road. Was the Hon. member in the House when this road was intimated by his Government? TheHon.gentleman does not answer my question. If he sat quiet in his seat and allowed a propos• ition like that to go through Parlia- ment without protesting, he did a thing that was very wrong in view of the opinion he holds. Aud had I done so. I certainly would not come to this House to condemn that road and say I was in a favour of having it torn up. I have better hope for that road and I hope that it will prove a benefit to the West. This Government has removed the duty on ditching machines. Under the late Government they were dut. table, but as soon as this Goverument came into power they placed these machines on the free list, a decided benefit to the farmer. Another very important matter is the reduction in duties on agricultural implements. This Governmenthas re. duced these duties from 171 to 121 per cent. giving to the people of the vet a greater advantage than the late Gov. ernment was giving under the Reci. procity Treaty of 1911. When cement became scarce in this country and the price was extortionate, this Gnsert.- ment cut the duty in two in order to secure this article to the people at a reasonable price. This is an illustra- tion of the vigilance exercised by this Government in maintaining the inter: este of our agriculturiste. The bon. junior member for Halifax (Mr. Maclean) asked wbat a'ivantage it would be to the people of Canada to .save a tax on wool. If these gentle- men were looking to the interests of the farmers, they would see what ad- vantage it would be, The sheep -reit. ing industry el' this country has been ruined; our farmers had to go out of the business, for they bad to comp. to with tbe world, and pricier were low. Mr. Nesbitt :--May I ask the bon, gentleman is he sheep terming ? Me. Bowman:—I was at eta time. Mr. Nefbitt:—But you do bot carry It on now? . Mr. Bowman :--No. Mr. Nesbitt ;—Would the bon. gen- tleman he surprised to know that ,beep -farming has been profitable within the peer, few vette? Mr. B:rwtuats:—And this legislation will mike it more profitable. Mr. Nesbitt:—So far se I am con- cerned, though I carry on sheep•farni- ing, 1 do not think it will help me a bit, Mr, Bowman: --Probably the hon. gentleman leas no faith in protection. In speaking to his friends on the quiet.. I think he Will admit beat year thet hie profits have beet, greater than this year. It ie stra'►{te that the hon. &winner for North Oxford should say that the extra duty on fertilizers and fencing wire wi11 he a burden on the f et met battiest) they WILL cams him to pay much more for hie Roods, and yet that it is no protection to the fanner to hese a duty of fie per "cent. placed on the wool he sells. If the hon, gen tlenyan thinks that ie a logical Way of treating this argumer.t I am setiefled. While thie Goa eminent has done nit, Oh foe this country, there le some- thing elect that can be done.
