OUR OTTAWA LETTER.

Upon hie arrival in Montreal the other
day Lord Streth0ona wee asked hie opfn•
ion upon the yroapeets of favorable nom
sideration being given in England to any
proposal to grant a preference to oolonial
iwporte along the line go persistently
burped upon by Sic Oberlee Tupper.
Tile High Oommise1oner replied that he
did not see the smallest probability of
euoh a propooel making headway in Eng.
land at the present time. To give a
preference to colonial food prodaots,
Great Britain would have to plane a tax
upon foreign wheat, and any politician
venturing snob a suggestion would be in.
etanbly met by the cry of "dear bread,'
a ory with such disastrous possibilities
attending it that no British statesman
would venture to risk it.
Prinoipal Graut, of Queen's Univers.
illy, who to recognized throughout the
Dominion as a fair apd nubieesed ob.
server whose views are well considered
and those opinions are gate, declares
that :—"A man who believes that Britain
will put taxes on all her food and raw
material for her manufactures for the
sake of o alight inareaee of 3 per oeot of
her trade, for that is our share of her
business, could makehimeelf believe any-
thing."
These are preoleely the views held, and
frequently expressed by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and shared in by all preotioal
slot. sman both imperial and Canadian
and it is not true that any imperial
eta esman bag ever spoken otherwise.
Sir Gearless Tupper's program of de•

BINDER TWINE.
A great deal has been said about the
Binder Twice question and the part the
Governments of this Dominion have taken
in it and it may not prove uninteresting
to give en outline of the condition of af-
fairs as brought oat in open discussion in
the House. The manufacture was in-
troduced into Kingston penitentiary by
the Oonservative party be 1898 to furnish
employment to convicts and to this ex-
tent to aid in their own maintenance.
The aim of the Government is to avoid
as far as possible in the disposal of twine
unfair competition with those who are
engaged in the binder twine industry,
and as a oausequence the Government
cannot advantageonsly employ oommer•
pial agents and send them abroad through
the country to make sales to retail deal-
ers. The Conservative Government
adopted this plau for two seasons but
with anything but satisfaction. It has
been intimated that there has been a ring
formed to bleed the farmer and make
enormous profits at his expense but the
statement is unfounded and notrue.
In Feb. 1898 the Conservative Govern-
ment resolved to sell the twine by agent,
be to receive a commission of 10%. Out
of four applications a Mr. Kelly, an em.
ployee of the Cordage Co., was appointed
on a 5 year agreement. He was to give
security for 930,000 and the outstanding
credit was not to exceed 920,000. The
security by Mr. Kelly was against any
fraud on his port but not 00cnrity for the
payment of the value of the twine which
be reoeived. He declined to be answer.
able for the debts of the purohaeers,
There was no such thing a0 sale by tender.
Kingston monufeotured 500 tons 0
year but the amount of twine consumed
in the country is 8,000 tons so that 7,500
tone must of necessity be purchased else-
where. The statement that the 1896 ant•
put was banded over to the Hobb'e Hard-
ware Co. of London, without tender, is
without foundation. Sale was made to
Coll Bros., of St. John, after tenders
were called for by advertisement in Sept.
1896, the twine of the previous Winter
and Summer not being marketed. Colt
Bros. resold to Hobbs Co., a perfectly
legitimate transaction and in which the
Government had nothing to say. Sisal
sold at 4 cents ; Beaver, 4e Bente ; and
Maple Leaf, 5 cents. Twiue was eaid to
be good when made but had lost con.
siderable of its pliability by being re.
tained too long and owing to tbie fact an
effort is always made now to dispose of
twine the season it is mannfaotured. OE
course the harvest was past when Hobbs
bought so hie purchase had to be held by
bim until the following eeason and con-
sequently h0 could not be expected to pay
the price he would have to previous to
harvest. Had Kelly fulfilled lite contract
as agent this $50 tons would not have
been on band.
In 1898 the raw material need in the
twine out 4 5/8c. par lb. ; in 1899, 89o. ;
and in 1900, 157o., the rise due to the
Phillipino wet as the export of Manila
hemp ie absolutely ended and Mexico is
now supplying a substitute. Sisal in
1898 was 4 7/8a. ; in 1899, 890. ; and in
1900, 0 to 9 5/8 cents, and in consequence
of these increases of oouree the price of
the twine advanced neaessarlly. The
Liberal Government took the duty off
twine and as a consequence the importa-
tion of binder twine rose from 2,000,000
lbs in 1806 to 10,000,000 in 1809. Sir
John Thompson eaid in 1894 that he con•
stilted the other manufacturers in the
country before fixing the price.
Soo. Connors wee the gentleman who
installed the plant at Kingston for the
Ooneervative Government and it went in-
to operation in April 1894. He also con-
trolled the output that year, 20'0,000
p0und0 during the Bummer season at a
coat of $12,000, On December of the
game year he paid a trifle over 91,600 and
gave his note for the balance, In April
1895 he °entracte to sell the output of
that year although he still owes over
96,000. Connors entered into an agree.
trent with Meagre. Connolly in January
1805 and a Company, known ao the Con-
tinental Binder Twine Co., was organized
with the intent of controlling all the
twine manufaotorios as int as possible.
To this Co, Connors sane a large portion
of the $11,000 worth of 3.895 twine as
agent of the Conservative Government, a
gond share of the balunoe going to whole-
salers so that retail dealers got a vett'
meagre supply. Do yet gee who it was

what is Sir Oharlea Tapper trying to
get at ? He deolaree that his aoid•stor-
age Bahama would "asaist" oar fishermen
by enabling them to reach more distant
markets and by facilitating the preeerv0•
tion of fish and bait ? " Is he not aware
that the Government had already es-
tablished oold•etorage warehoosee at the
fishing villages ou our coasts where bait
is preserved and stored, and these aro
available to the fishermen enabling them
to prolong their season of fishing and
eave much valuable time previously loot
in procuring bait? Sir Charles also pro-
pene a eoheme for regulating the
temperature of the curing rooms id car
cheese factories thereby securing the
prodaotioa of a superior article, Is
he not aware that the Government in•
augnrated that system three years ago,
and has not only perfected it, but has
furniahed the oheeee-mekere of the
country with fall instructions, plans and
epeolfioatione for building improved our.
ing rooms, and this assistance has been
largely made use of ? These are samples
of a number of imitation where Sir
Charles Tupper coolly presumed upon
the ignorance of the general electorate as
to what has been done by the present
Government. The man who would
adopt tach teetioa in private life might
he justly oritiofaed in terms not ttenally
considered Parliamentary.
4 son 9750,000 ; 53 roe $50,000.
Sir Charles Tupper deolaree that the
cold -storage facilities now available to
Canadian shippers of perishable goods to
the British market are inferior in quality
and insnffioisnt for the demand. de to
the quality, practically all the maohinery
in tree has been installed by the eelfeame
firma that have built the Australian
system which Sir Chanes Tupper praises
ea highly and whish proved abeelately
eatisfaotory, and as to the amount avail.
able there has ooarooly been a game at the
Port of Montreal this season of the oold-
storage a0aommedation being entirely
taken up by Canadian shippers.
In addition to this we have the foot
that Topper's fast service of 1890 woald
have provided four steamers to one port
at a nest of 975,000 whereas under the
present Liberal Administration °old.
etorage has been provided in 53 steamers

Dost of about $ 5 year for the

now NOT TO DO TT,
In the whole of Sir Cbarlee Tupper's
ponderous sold storage manifesto there
is only m,e definite scheme propounded
whtoh, is .tot already actually in operation
through she iui,iative of the present
Government. This one proposal le the
BINDER TWINE' AND COAL
CIL.
To the Editor of Tax POST
DEAit Sit,—Mr. Dickinson tells the
farmers tbat the Liberal Government is
responsible for the increased price of
binder twine, because they reduced the
tariff on that artiole until itis free, but
Mr, Foster reduced the price of sugar, by
reducing the tariff and returned millions
to the pockets of the people. It does not
touch the question of price to allege that
the Government made improvident sales
of the output of the Kingston peniteutf•
ory, to their friends, that is another mat-
ter, and in no way affects the present
price of the twine. Mfr. Dickinson
knowe, and every dealer in twine
knows, that the increased price is caused
by an increase in the price of the raw
material entering into its manufacture,
and that had the Government not re-
duced the tariff the farmers of this
country would be paying more for the
artiole than they are doing now.
Then let us see what they say about
coal oil. They allege that by allowing
oil to come in in tank oars we have hand-
ed the control of the coal oil trade over
to the Standard Ott Company. They
say we were warned too for the former
Government were approached by the
Standard 011 Co'y and they refused them
this privilege. What are the facts,
when the Standard Oil Co'y approached
the Conservative Government asking for
this privilege they were wholly a foreign
company doing business outside of Can.
ada. They wanted to get in to compete
with the home refineries, and mark, they
were going to be the better able to com-
pete if the Conservative Government
wonld give them the privilege of bringing
in oilin tank care. They were refused,
and from a protectionist standpoint
properly refused, the privilege because it
would injure the home refineries. Re-
fused that privilege, what did the
Standard Oil Company do ? They cross-
ed the border, bought up the 000061an
refineries, shut them up and established
one large and ediotent one at Sarnia and
had oomplete control of the traffic. Now'
what did the Liberal Government do ?
Not beingeoxious to protect the Standard
Oil Co'y they first reduced the tariff and
then granted to the other American Com.
ponies the very privilege that the Con-
servatives had refused to the Standard
Oil Company and which refusal was the
means of compelling them to arose the
boundary and erect a manufactory here.
Is it not plain therefore that if the re.
fusel of the Conservative Government
meant the protection of the home re-
fineries from the competition of the
Standard 011 Co'y then operating out of
Canada, that the granting of that same
request to those oompanies who were still
outside of Canada wag a privilege en-
abling them to compote more Bemuse
fully in the Oanedian market with the
Standard Oil Co'y that had in the mean-
time become a partly Canadian Co'y.
It may be asked then if the Government
had no regard for the interests of the
Standard Oil Co'y and they are almost
the sole mannfaotnrero of coal oil why
did they not take off all the duty ? The
reason is tbie. The Standard Oil Co'y,
while controlling the mannfaotured out-
put, have not bought the Canadian wells.
It the tatiff were completely removed,
the Company would simply olose the
Canadian refinery and return to the
manufacture of the oil in the American
or home refineries, and the Canadian
well owners would be ruined.
Thanking yon, Mr. Editor, for the op-
portunity of expreeeing these thoughts, I
am, Yours truly,
