FARMERS AND THE N. P.
In a letter addressed by Allan Pringle,
of Shelby, to the Young Conservative
Club, Toronto, some good things appear,
and no apology is necessary for quoting
part of the communication :
111 presume the Toronto Conservative
Club is in favor of free disouseion, and is
seeking the truth on economic questions.
I presume also that the club will admit
that a farmer will understand his own
position, needs and condition much better
than a lot of city gentlemen -merchants,
professional, oto. -no matter how inlelli•
gent, educated and well versed in their
own partinular lines, these gentlemen may
be. I therefore assume that the club will
have no objection to hear briefly from a
farmer on the (to him) vital question un-
der ate consideration, Hence I beg to
apbmit for your attention a few facts and
to propound a few questions from a non.
partizan farmer's standpoint, which I
should like tbo club to answer. Without
presumption I think I may safely say
that in these premises I speak for a maj-
ority of my follmv-farmers in this pray. to
ince, if not in the Dominion. And lastly, do you consider it right
and proper that the people in general
01111 LIBERAL 0100ND. should be taxed millions on their prime

fined to bed for almost.eight weeks, when
I was able to get up once more. During
these weeks I was under treatment by
our physician, and still continued taking
his medicine. I did not appear to recover
my strength however, and on the 14th of
November was again forced to take to my
bed, this time suffering from great weak-
ness and nervous prostration. The
doctor's medicine now seemed to do me
no good, and I grew gradually worse.
I became so low that it seemed hardly
possible that I could live long. Tho
doctor said that I was iu consumption
and that medicine was of no more use to
me, At this Lime an article was publish-
ed in the paper coneermiug the cure of a
young lady m Toronto by the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and Mr. Turner at
once bought some. After I had used
about six boxes I"began to get gradually
better, my strength began to return, my
appetite improved, and I had sound, re-
freshing sleep at night. I have now used
fifteen boxes of Pink Pills and 110.00 no
hesitation in saying that they have effect-
ed a wonderful cure iu my case.
In the case of Miss Hall the Pink Pills
have also accomplished marvels. She
was attacked with dizziness, severe head-
aches and faintieg spells, followed later
by swelling of the feet and limbs,together
with other symptoms of anaemia. After
having been treated by a physician for
some time without any noticeable im.
provemont she decided to give Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills a trial. After using a
few boxes of the Pills there was a decided
improvement in her condition, and with
the continued use of the medicine full
streogtb, health and activity returned,
and Miss Hall is now feeling as well as
ever ebe dud iu her life. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Turner were present during the
interview, and strongly endorsed what
the young ladies said, and expressed
their thanks for what Pink Pills had
done for them.
The experience of years has proved
that there is absolutely no disease due to
a vitiated condition of the blood or shat-
tered nerves, that Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will not promptly cure, and those
who are suffering from such troubles
would avoid much misery and save money
by promptly resorting to this treatment.
Get the genuine Pink Pills every time
and do not be persuaded to take au inti.
talion or some other remedy from a
dealer, which for the sake of the sabre
profit to himself, he may nay is "just as
good." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure
when other medicines fail.
that the National Policy has been and Is
highly inimical to the farmer's material
interests and prosperity; that it discrim-
inates unfairly and unjustly against him,
and that it is a chief cause of his present
distress and almost bankrupt condition.
You will doubtless admit that this is es-
sentially an agricultural country ; that
agrieniture is the first and foremost and
most important industry of Canada; that
all other legitimate industries and avoca-
tions are more or leas dependent on it.
Wherefore it follows that agriculture
ought to be fostered and developed above
all other industries -not specially "pro-
tected," but legitimately fostered and en-
couraged. It is the last industry in this
country that ought to be opposed or dis-
criminated against by Government.
These also are propositions which you
will, no doubt, as intelligent and fair-
minded men, admit.
"Very well. Agreeing, then, thus far,
the question now is, does the National
Polioy injure and oppress Canadian agri-
culture ? Does it discriminate against
the far Tier ? Yon probably say no ! And
the Government of the day (and night)
say no 1 But the farmer himself says
yes, and he ought to know best.
110T ACCEPTED BY 00011E1t0.
You may answer that the farmer him.
self at the polls has repeatedly said no.
But I deny that. He has not. He has
not had a fair chance to say yes or no.
So far as he has had a fair chance he has
said yea the past 10 years or more. In
proof of this I beg to remind you of three
or four facts :- The first is the iniquitous
',gerrymander," which no decent man ap-
proves of today ; the second is the Fran-
chise Act and its manipnlations ; the
third is the bribing, deceiving and mis-
leading of the electors, and the fourth is
the fact that at the last elcotion the maj-
ority of votes of the whole people were
against the National Polioy and the Gov-
ernment, and hence that Government
only represents a minority, while the
gerrymandered majority aro mierepre-
seated. Furthermore, a majority of the
votes of the farmers was against the Nat.
Tonal Policy at both the last general elec-
tion. Thee it is that 117e oppressive
Natiooal Policy ie not really in force to-
day by the voice of the farmers of Can-
ada. Nor is the present Government (the
authors of that policy) in power to -day in
Canada by the voice of the people, but by
gerrymander and other iniquities.
TRE 7A11)1E112' CONDITIOE.
"The question, then, between us as to
the good or evil effects of the National
Policy on the farmers is resolved into
one of facts. And of the multitude of
facts in the promises I oan only here call
your attention to a few, and ask you to
,newer a few plain questions frankly and
fairly. The first fact is that the farmer
under the National Policy is taxed enor-
mously, and no man in his senses (always
exoepting the blind partizan) will say
that excessive laxation will benefit the
farmer or any other producer. : The sec•
and foot is that under this intolerable

which are the last resort, have increased
by nearly 6,000 in Ontario in five years,
and tenant farmers, taking the place of
owners, have increased 50 per cent. in a
decade under the National Polioy. The
next startling foot is that in ten years
under the National Policy the rural pope,
lation in this splendid agricultural Prov
ince, richly endowed by nature, hoe as'
tamely decreased 52,000 besides the natur-
alfMereaee, which, added to the 62,000,
would make an actual de000aee oe loss of
over 150,000. Another fact is that the

for the benefit not of the public treasury,
but of a few wealthy millionaires ? For
every dollar of this money that goes into
the treasury three or four to go out of the
nodkets of the people and into thepookets
of the monopolists. Is this all right or is
it all wrong ?"
