What Does He Mean ?
To the Editor of THE Posr:
DEAR SIn,—It was to be hoped and ex-
pected that our respected friend, H.
Washington, of Ottawa, had settled down
it happy and contented man since the 23r01
of June, for on that date, through the
chances and changes of passing events,
both he and his party got to he rulors of
the country. What more should a king
desire ? Yet it is pito apparent that he
is not exactly a contented man, for like
the fellow with the imaginary snakes in
his boots so with him some imaginary
evils in the shape of some things which
he appears to think may happen, the
thoughts of which apparently are pursu-
ing bun, hence his letter in Tan Poor of
April 23rd, under the treading "Farmers
and the Duty." I have read said letter
three times and after doing so have come
to the conclusion that although I am nob
much of a sport in the betting line, still I
will venture to wager a good five cent
cigar that ten farmers out of fifty, your
)tumble correspondent included, does not
know what he is after in said letter. Had
I known Mr. Washington to have a liking
for his toddy, if I would not say it I
would at least think that when he thought
oat and wrote that letter for Tms POST
he hacl a pretty good jag on, but I do not
think it was the case. When the farmers
do happen to have a friend at headgnart-
ers ready and willing to give his advice
and dictate to us, then I think it reason-
able on our part to expect from him even
a little encouragement iu regard to the
grain market, but he has not given us one
ray of )tope. Oats are still away down,
other gram equally so, and hen fruit,
which the farmerswives dependeo much
on, down to 7 cents a dozen. Mr. W.
commences his letter by saying "If farm-
ers would examine the effect the duties
on food stuffs would have on themselves
if these duties over became effective they
would be the first to insist on their aboli•
tion." What does he mean, for there are
duties ou food stuffs already and has been
for the last nineteen years, without any
bad effects, and the Americans have had
duties on their food stuffs for over 30
years and the majority of their farmers
want it kept on longer and thicker. He
also tells us it would be misery to have
duties for man and beasts food stuffs iu
case of a crop failure, when the dealers
would take advantage of the scarcity and
charge their customers fifty cents extra
on each dollar of tariff. If he thinks the
Government intends having anything to
do with crop failures, I don't, although
the army worm arrived after the Govern-
ment got into office and did considerable
harm to last harvest, besides a new potato
bug, which was said to have arrived in
some parts of the Dominion. Mr. W.
also tells the farmers that they ought to
insist on the abolition of these duties.
What in creation have the farmers to do
with these duties now ? Before the Re.
formers got into office they promised the
farmersreat thins if the of there •
then the of the they
took
them at their word andP ut them into
office to carry out those promises. '.Chen
does he think the farmers ought to run
the Government too ? As far as I can
gather from his latter, be is afraid of
some terrible tariff, followed by some ter-
rible crop failure, with the consequent
terrible famine, and some terrible dealers
who would charge their customers fifty
per cent. additioual tariff. Now, 11Ir, W.,
you need not look so far ahead for
trouble, you have not the least cause for
fear. Yon remember in the Good Book
about the Winn who excused himself for
not going to tho marriage feast because
he had married a wife. That was no ex•
close at all, for couldn't he go and take
his wife along? Ypu have just as lame
an excuse, for if that unfortunate cal-
amity did overtake us couldn't the Gov-
ernment abolieh the tariff.
Yours truly,
A Paton ,
May let, '97.

that they were unable to follow the train
of meoheitiem, even when it was explain•
ed by the aid of working drawings. Yet
this machine, when the wire is fed by it,
goes on turning out perfect mem, and
as long as the wire lasts, it requires no

In the Winnipeg Dominion election,
Mr. Taylor, Conservative -Independent,
only saved his deposit by 50 votes.

thoroughly and °umpletely satisfied with
the new tariff. It works upon lines and
on principles whioh he has adtoeatod for
a long time. The third party will give
the new tariff its Hearty support.
The House of Commove is now corn.

fortytwo,over the Conservatives,and of
85 over all other parties combined.
A Rood story is told of two brewers in

ed :—"We have plaood corn on the free
list—" and the brewers shook each
other's hands, both faces enwreathed in
floods of smiles, "except fou distilling
purposes," continued the finance Min•
istor, and the chops of the pair full liho
thunder in a °tear sky.

Dr. Reid has introduced a bill in the
House of Commons to regidato freight
rates on railways. He said the proposed
measure was similar to the inter -State
oommerce law of the United States. It
is proposed to create a commission to
settle all disputes between shippers and
railways, and.further that rates on short
hauls should not be proportionately great..
er than the rates on long berms.
The Toronto World (Conservative)
says :—"The Liberals have tackled the
tariff with a vim that will surprise the
country. The fat is in the fire again, and
it will bake some days for things to settle
and for business men to find out what
they are at. lint this at least can be
said, that rho new tariff will be acclaim.
