H, KERR, Prop, A Difference of Opinion, TO the Editor of Tnis POsx.. DER SIB,—lacer week's POST contained a short letter under the heading "Is tiro Farmer protected" and from a person calling himself H. Washington, of Ot- tawa, four correspondent evidently is annoyed' at my remarks on his frst letter and says he fails to see any cause for the ill natured way I have treated his humble effort, nod that I have knocked his etate. snout into a cooked ]tat. I had no Boo, that I was so severe on his humble effort and knocked his statements out of ehape so bad, as what I did was easily clone for he was talking through his hat. Your correspondent apparently had in mind that the farmers are a very gullible lot of people and would Nicely swallowbis state- ments whether right or wrong. Then if so I want to inform him right hero that he is miserably mistaken for as a rule the farmers in general know how many beaus make five. Mr. Washington's next state- ment goes to show that the distress amongst the English farmers 3s caused by the high rent and tithes. Now I want to inform him that the English farmers paid high rent before he was bora and they saved money then boo, Ile points out a choice farm in one of the, host parts of England and the farmer, after paying the rent and tithes, had only 918 net profit for a number of years. He could have mentioned some other items whioh lessen the farmers' profits, but it would not snit his purpose to do so, About fifty years ago the English Government took the duty off farm products and let the surplus products of the world's farms Dome in free to compete with the English farmer, and for the last few years the world's surplus has been increasing wonderfully and clumped free in England to compete with the English farmer, which brought the price so low that the English farmer can hardly make ends meet ; and at the very same time the Government took the duty off farm products, they taxed the farmer heavily for his house, his hired help, his carriage, hie gun, jewelry, bobacco and railroad trips. Then England was called a free oouctry. Your Ottawa correspondent told us in his first letter that it was stated as a fact that in 1873 about twelve mil lion dollars worth of farm products were taken to the U. S•, on whioh four million dollars tariff was paid to the U. S Gov- ernntent, but he forgot to tell us. that the 17. S. sent to this country in ono year about fifteen million dollars worth of farm products, ou which nob one dollar was paid in tariff. Thatis the kind of Free Trade Mr.a hiu t n W a g 0 Nanta. That the a a t e waY the MoKonzie Govern - meat protected the farmer. And now, Sir, your correspondent has undertaken to champion the farmers' interests and has condemned the Government's existing practice, then we will watch TEE POST anxiously for his remedy to raise the value of farms and farmer's profits to a good paying standard. Hoping soon to hear from him again, I remain Yours Truly, A. FARMER. Morris, April 20, '90. Why England is Hated. It is difficult to understand the animus towards Great Britain that seems to rankle in the minds of protectionists, con- sidering she is the only country in the world that has removed every obstacle in, the way of her people buying anything we have to sell. judging from their pub- lic utterances this ill feeling against that tight little Isle is peculiar to the protec- tionists of all countries, whether they be Yankee, Australian, South African; Fronob, German or Canadian, and there- fore must have it common. pause. The world (with the exception of China, Rte. sic and Spain) enjoyed a few years tom. parative free trade between 1840, when Great Britain opened her ports to the farmers and manufacturers of the world, (thus affording them a sure and constant market for their surplus products) and the early sixties, when the United States returned to protection as a war measure. This movement towards free trade gave the extoneion of agriculture the world over an impetus still being felt, and one that will be felt as long as Great Britain remains 'free trade. The increase of population that naturally followed this extension of the area of cultivation vivi- fied manufacture and trade iu all conn. tries. Great Britain having in 1849, as she now has, the largest proportionate urban population, necessarily became the largest purchaser (as she now is) of the raw producte of the farmers of the world, This measure (free trade) gave Great Britain (as it must give any oountry that adopts it) an advantage tantamount town extension of agriculture limited only by the cultivated area of the world's surface. The increaseh of the aaltivatocl area in countries blest a lett with available land, the increase nieces of populationand consequently of trade that followed this movement towards free trade was unparalleled in the history of the world, as will be seen from the following figures 'taken from "MullhalP5 Dictionary of Statistics." Average annual 10000000 of the cultivated area, population and international trade of the world between the following years was as follows, viz A0RES. POPUPATC010. TRADE, 1590.40 11500,000 '04.45 0000,000 '00 50 5500,000 41.00 4550000 45-74 18000000 01-80 85000000 '75.01 0000000 '50.80 70000,000 81.88 7200,000 '80.80 88000,000 These figures show that the period of greatest expansion teas contemporaneous with the free trade period and that a seri- ous centre/Hon followed the return of the nations to a protecitive policy. The rapid extension of the area of 'cultivation that took place fu the various countrioe after free trade web inaugurated, brought into being, the thousand' and ono industries that invariably follow such extension. The growing trade of Great Britain with the farmers of the world, whose number id a measure she had been instrumental in augmenting, naturally gave rise to jealousy among alio mannfaaturere of the various countries, who had become a wealthy and powerful class during the long period of uninterrupted expansion, between 1850 and Black Friday, 1873, Tide jealousy caused one country after another to atbeupt by means of protect- ive tariffs bo prevent Great Britain sell- ing her goods to bheir farmers, their ob- je0tbeing to keep their own farmers for their own trade, They forgot that in do. ing this they not only had to tax their farmers r Hots heavily and thus check the ex- tension of agriculture in their own noun• try (we dooreased the number of our farmors 9000 between '81 and '91) bub bo out themselves (the manufaeturere) off from the farmers of the world in exact proportion to their emcees in keeping their own farmers to • themselves, They have for years been trying to remedy this last defect' in all protaoted countries by further taxing their now impoverished farmer's by means of the bonus system. This ie done in order to enable them to sell to foreign farmers as cheaply as Great 13ritailc, Thus the Germans are eating horse flesh and sawdust in order that Englishmen shall got cheap beef, sugar and sound bread, in fact all pro - tooted countries (including ourselves) are taxing themselves into penury in order that Englishmen shall get things cheap, with the natural result that poverty and crime are decreasing in Great Britain and increasing in all protected countries. Thio proteotionist move if successful iu keeping 11oglishgoods out of the various protested Countries would give no reason for the animus against Great Britain that now sours the temper of protectionist statesmen the world over. What hurts is the broad fact that Great Britain gets her goods into all countries in site of tariff walls, thus in a measure nullifying the benefits the combines and trusts an. ticipated as a result of high protective tariffs, and in whose interest these would- be statesmen are fighting. This explains the moan. and petty hatred Of Great Britain that rankles in the hearts of pro. teotioniets in all countries. The Pall Mall Gazette stated somemonths ago that intense hatred of England is universal among the nations. This is difficult to believe, but that she is hated by the monopolists and their tools in all nations is perfeotly natural , for as long as she remains free trade and the rest of the world protectionist, she will continue to occupy the overwhelmingly powerful position among the Nations she does to- day, and must, for self evident reasons which will be set forth in another article continue to be, as she now is, a shield be. tweon bhe monopolists of the world and their victims, the consumers, and there. fore will continue to arouse the hatred of the moan, petty and unjust among bhe peoples, which may well bo considered her crowningglory. • !truss015 School !Warn.
