ARE WE GOING TILE SAME
W.AY? «,
Brucefield, Jan. 12, 1031.
Editor News -Record, Clinton: In
your issue of Jan. 8th, is an address
by r, S. MacLean, President of Can-
adian Packers, Ltd.; and headed,
"Efficiency, Not Laws Brings Farm
Prosperity," Very good as far as it
goes, but something like the oath
taken in a court room, to tell the
truth, the whole .truth and nothing
but the truth, but usually the whole
truth is left out oe, the evidence.
The writer agrees with Mr. Mac-
Lean that Efficiency is a fine thing
but very elusive. I look at niy own
t farm and the farms of my neighbors
and eve need many, many improve-
ments such as buildings, fences,
t drains, water systems, improved
stock, etc,, but the cost of such int
movements at present costs of labor
and materials to he paid for at the
present prices of farm produce, af-
ter deducting taxes and running ex-
penses, leaves us several laps behind
Effic]etlese in the march of progress.
About fifty years ago the Policy of
High Tariff Protection was brought
into force, in America by which the
cnanufectur'ee was enabled to set his
prices so he could make a large pro-
fit, But the farmer, who produced
more than was consumed hall to com-
pete in the open markets of the
world, in effect, take whatever was
offered for his produce or keep it
and pay whatever price the manu-
facturer demanded for Itis needs or
do without. And apparently that
legislation worked finely for the
es.
But .all this city :building, finance,
education, transportation, etc., was
but a branching out and evolution of
the age-old urge implanted by na-
tule in the human race to get noir-
ishnfent; shelter and clothing. -
But the High T€triff weakened the
farmer's purchasing power, and an
Newton, the great scientist, laid
down• his sudenl!, -.'To every action
there is a, reatelemi,' so' the farmers
began to leave the land and become
professional men, merchants, ban-
kers, mechanics, etc„ but their labor
had to he exchanged for food direct-
ly o3 indireetly, and tite professional
ntan raised his fees, the laborer. his
wages,., the manufacturer hie prices
and agriouture, forced to sell in the
open markets oe the • world and buy
in a protected market, left the land
and ceased to .purchase, and the in-
evitable :happened. Fatoories closed,
business failures happened and labor
was thrown out of work, and the end
is not yet, though -we are told .good
times are just around the, corner,
I presume the Egyptians rut up
the same line of taut about the slump
which occurred after -tire building of
the Pyramids.
I suppose. the Greeks(they were
the ere
great, orators, sculptors; painters,
athletes and warriors) dug up the
same explanation after they had
wasted; their wealth in wars and had
esniamented the City -of A,thehs with,
•statuary and Frescoes. '
Are we going the same way?
Yours truly, .
