During the debate in the House of

tion mowed by W. P. Ciockshntt, l4.P.,
of Bran Vora, affiituing dant the gov-
ernaneet she'll fl. take charge of all fond
si.i.il'it in Ctuia.tlo, J. J, i11'er•nerlll.P., for
South kluron, spoke in reply to, 111r.
Cockshutt. Mr, Merrier and Mr Mar-
tin rose simultaneously to reply, but
Mr, 'Merrier caught the Speaker's eye.•
IIis speech follows:.
l3eiug a farmer and representing a farm-
ing community, I desire 10 say a few words
upon this very important question. 1
would like to have a little more irtforma-
t,,ou nn the resolution that bay been laid on
the table. I would liketo know if the hon.
ntrsunher for Brantford (Mr. Cockshutt) is
trying bo get after the fernier or who he is
trying to hit. I believe that if the adop-
tion of this proposition sltould affect the
farmer it would inflict a greatinlustioe up.
en hits. 1 admit' that et the present time
.the farther is receiving a fair price for his
product, but at the same time I do not he..
Iievethrtt the price that he is receiving
represents more than a good living profit.
wander if'the hong member for Brantford
ins rnuch sleep when the farmer . was re-
ceiviug a starvation price for his butter,
eggs and Other products., I' ate a farmer
tt cl I know that.tlie fernier ab the present
time is selling his cattle and his hogs at a
price that does not pay him, considering
the high cost of everything he is using, ]
believe that the consumer is paying too
high a price for his foodstuffs, 'over and a-
bove the price the farmer gets.. I know
that in August and September last buyers
pard $9.75 per cwt. for hogs, and $9.00 per
cwt. for cattle, while tbday they are only
paying $7.25 for hogs on the Toronto mar-
ket and a correspondingly less price for
cattle than they paid in August, and yet
they ere asking exactly the same price for
their beef and pork as they did last fall,
when they were paying 2 cents per pound
more for live stock. There is something
wrong there, and if the Government wants
to obtain power to get after those fellows
1 for one shall approve of their doing so
If the farmer alone is to be detrimentally
affected by such action as is now proposed
hy my hon. friend (Mr. Oookshutt) Ibe]ieve
it would be most unjust. For thelast few
mouths there have been people goingaround
the country advocating patriotism and in-
creased production, but if you are going
to adopt any legislation in this Parliament
which will be injurious to the farmer, how
are you going to get in -ceased production.
For my part 1 believe that the farmer re
quires protection just es well ^Is the man-
ufacturer. I won dor how the bon memb-
er for Brantford would like it if the Gov-
ernrrant brought in a hill to stop the ship-
ping of prong be to the other side. I think
he would object to that most strongly I
believe we should not be selfish; I believe
we should co -operate, --one with the other;
I believe we shotld allow• the far mer to
live, The farmer is the backbone of this
rnearer, a:nel the must have protection for
him. A great deal is said nowadays about
- the ,high cost of living, and I might per-
haps give my experience in that respect. I
ani a fanner, but I ane also a merchant, and
1 think l em able to deny the statement
that the cost of living has greatly increased
of rerent years 1 worked behind the coun-
ter in my store for 37 years, and I know
from personal experience that 35 years ago
with few exceptions the cost of the neces-
saries of life was higher then than itis to-
day. Thirty-five years ago 1 sold ten. at
75 cents a peund, and I am selling as good
tea today at 40 cents a pound; 35 years ago
sold coffee at 30 cents a pound, and I am
selling as good coffee today at 25 cents a
hound. I believe as a whole the price of
drygoods is lower now than it was say 80
years ago. That, of course, depends on.
whether the people t.re willing to use the
Dame class of dm -goods toelay es they did
then. .If people were willing to use the
same clrygoods today as they aid 30 years
ago, they could bey them just as cheaply;
but nowadays they want style, and they
have to pay for it. Thirty years ago the
mothers on the farm would spin the yarn
and the home weaver would weave thecloth;
I wore these goods myself and I was con-
tent withtihem; bet today the boys and
girls are not satisfied with that. It is the
way- the people live today that makes the
cost Mount, up. About 35 years ago I re-
member selling six pcnindes of granulated
sugar for a dollar, while today I aei selling
twelve and fourteen pounds for a dollar.
Of course, the cost of living, especially in
large cities, is high, and that is brought, a-
bout largely by the high rents, which are
the result of the good times we are having.
In the good times in the past. speculation
ran high and rents ran up. Where 25 years
ago an ordinary man could rent a horse for
ten or fifteen or twenty dollars a month, bo-
dily he is pitying thirty lir forty or fifty
dollar,. We inuatplace the responsibility
for that on speculation ' I dirt not expect
this resolution today, and I was not pre-
pared to speak upon it; bet it having coins
before. the Horse, T felt it was my rluty to
say a few words on behalf of the farmers.
Those who live in the cities imagine that
the farmer has an easy time of it, but I am
in a position ie, kunw about that, and I
feel satisfied that the farmer even in view
of the high price he is receiving today, has
the short end ofit, and that be is not mak-
ing the money be aught to stake to reooin-
pense him for his hard work.
