THE HURON EXPPSITOR.
Mr. P ingle on. Protection.
Letter Ed. 4.
Sus : I promised to give my ideas on
Free Trade and Protection. jlf the
apostleahild been practical men, there
would ha lie been no necessity for doing
- so. But Charltou and Mills; being
• lawyers, aaturally mystified Matters,
and Orton being a quack did not know
the real nature of the trouble; hence
the reasoi the country did not get
agricultur 1 protection two years ago.
Four year ago I used to ship to East-
ern miller from five to fifty oars of
wheat at time ; during the last three
years,I ha e not shipped a, single car. The
reason ie lain. If a miller in Seaforth
buys whe t in Mit= to keep going, the
freight is 12; if reshipped in flour to
Montreal $55, or $67 per car. The
freight on wheat to Montreal is $66.
If ground into flour and. shipped to
-‘ - Halifax, t e freight and expenses would
amount to $130 per car, whereas a mil-
ler at any or/spot:jug point couldgo to
Chicago a d buy 20,000 bushele and get
it carried es his mill, and reshipped. in
flour to f, e same place, at less than
half. It i. impossible to do a; home
trade. Tonto and Montreal are sim-
ply&i slamer markets for the "' bliss-
fully igno ant." How absurd to pay
the high lees./ rates to and from Mon-
treal to t se Lower Provinces,' when
Hickson'S avorites can either ship Can-
adian or merican produce at $40 to
$60 per ca to Halifax. Protection is
a.bsolately j necessary. My idea was
taat no A, erican produce should be
allowed in b the country unless th bond
for export, or by i‘ pernait " to those who
manufactu ed. it by rebonding the meal
or ftciur en of the country. This plan
would.not affect the revennes of the coun-
try. If sve. had a poor crop and 'prices
went above! export value, the Govern-
ment cosilc give a " permit " to sell cer-
tain quantities of flour, so as to regulate
prices and satisfy the Lower Provinces.
The case iS now changed. Manitoba'
has a large surplus, and will soon pro-
duce more wheat than Ontario, and.
large millers calaget all the wheat they
want. Such being the case, the sim-
plest way if to impose a duty on all
American grain unless in bond for ex-
port. Farming being the chief source
of wealth, Must have fair play. Last
year wo consumed at least 7,000,000
bushels of - American trashy wheat, for
vehicti the i highest market price was
• paid in ca -b-, which forced us to export
the same amount. The result was
$2,000,000 seas lost on the transaction,
besides hay ng to live on inferior flour.
Farmers go;:. fall value for their wheat;
the loss fell entirely On dealers and ex-
porters. 71 this country were searched
all over a rich produce exporter could
scarcely be found, besides the banks
have lost in illione and naillions of del-
• lea's in not having' sufficient margins to
covc:r the liesses sustained. Whereas,
firms who whogrind
Grand Trunk Railway
"pap," who grind No. 3 and rejected
Cliicago wl at, and sell at liome, are
a
znilliona,ires, which proves the nearer
home busin ss is done the better. Free
Traders tell us English markets govern
prices, wide i is true to a certain extent,
still there a ) many slips between the
°up and the lip. English prices of un-
.reerehantalee produce do not govern
1
prices here. Rotten eggs are worth as
much here s the -re; if shipped they
avosticl he we. th $2 per barrel less ° than
her". The great mistake the country
has made lies here. For the la.st:three
years the pi, lity of our wheat ha e been
mostly Mime -chantable ; instead of con-
sumiug it at home, we have been forced
to eXporb : the result has been -dis-
astrous; exporters have all got cleaned
out, the nat'rial character of our wheat
and flour ha been destroyed, the effects
of which fa mers are just beginning to
feel. Neth ng but the best qualities of
' both flour ai d wheat should be eXport-
ed. Good syheat sells best on arrival;
_ it grinds mtfeh better than it does after
being kept a short time in their damp
climate. In a season like this, whoa
the market is glutted; poor Wheat' goes
into store, and might lie twelve months
on expense ;.In that case it would be a
dead loss. How foolishi to furnish' a
cash market j to the Americans to the
extent of about $15,000,000 per annum
for unmerchantable produce, and have
to trust. our own to strangers. A, firm
in Montreal exported last year ,large
, quantities of spriug and fall wheat; the
apring was purchased from Si 05 down to
85c, the fall from $1 20 to 90c. Their
losses must have been at least 20c to
30c per bushel, as they have just failed
- for $500,000.1 It would have been much
better had 5 000 farmers lost $10 each
that they neer bad, than that one firm
should lose &.) much. Still, this firm
had an und4 advantage over the regu-
ler miller ofi five to ten per cent. in
rates of freight to assist the Americans,
or those se-hO ground their wheat to
crush the milling bu. iness out of ex-
istence. ThI
ei plan 'as worked. well,
but unfortunately exp.l{ rters got caught
in their own ,trap. Ina shipping 50,000
bushels, they: could do so from fifty dif-
ferent points! This was just what beat
them. Fall Wheat in this county was
good last season; it was also good in
Bruce, but very sinuttsei In shipping
the two kinds:got mixed, the smut balls
broke going through the elevators, by
the time it to the English market
it was black 'and uumerchantable. It
is doubtful ifo the grand fall wheat we
boasted of i!ealizerd 90c per bushel,
whereas No. i.!, Chicago averaged from
the lst of Se' tember,1877, to the lst of
May last, $1 2 f. o. b. The No g was
about oven cuts less.
14)th the (,lobe aud Mr: Mackenzie
maguify the e illiculties of the bonding
system. Caigoes can be shipped as
easily and cheaply as at present. Mile
lere do not r quire to divide cargoes.
The Otobe sas is they would require to
buv in bulk, iind would not be able to
buy home grewn wheat. They buy in
bulk new, and have - ,plenty of storage
for the capacity of their mills without
affecting heme trade, neither would . it
affect the carrying trade. It is true
(-orb:site millere would be injuriously
affected, but ft is surely better that a
few should. u fter„ than that thousands
of . g Canadian wheat
ahould del so. ; Large millers are in a
much better jposition to export their
flour t1iaii sin Ui. ones, besides they have
a perfect righ j to do it. Your readers

con umed all their o n, and for all we
had to send we would have got as high
pric s without the du y as with it, con-
seq ently it came out of Canadian far-
mer or dealers. The fact that
we sometimes recei ed much high-
er prices thani ould be real-
ized elsewhere does. n t alter the case.
I gr nt duties have a tendency to raise
pric s, if they prevent European ship • -
men s; such, however, was not the case.
Old ountry barley is ot wanted at any
pricb for malting. T ree years ago I
ship ed on trial two c rs of bright two -
row d, weighing 58 s,, and costing
52 c uts,per bushel, •hich only netted
30 cents. Last sease I knew a party
who was offered 55 ents for twenty
cars of six -rowed for t e English mar-
ket, but who prefeired to take his
chat ces on the other side, the result
was it only netted 40 lents. According
to t e Globe if the A of ericana had not
paid the duty the shi open would only
hay; realized 15 cents and. 25 cents per
bus el, rather a small figure. The Globe

Says the Louisville Couri ,r -Journal
It is estimated that the actu 1 material
, loss to the region of count y scourged
by the yellow fever, thus far, is no less
than $200`000,000, and this i doubtless
a very low estimate. Splen.'d stands
of cotton will be lost for wa it of hands
to pick it, while the cessatim of busi-
ness in cities and towns, a o d on the
railways, and rivers, has occasioned
enormous losses, which can ot now be
computed. Beyond expr ssion, this
has been a terrible year for he people
of the Lower Mississippi Va ey. Some
people talk in a melanchol way, and
express the belief that the 80 th will be
utterly, irremediably mine This is
an impossibility. The south has been
swept by the flood, pestilenc , and the
sword, yet has she come up ut of the
depths with a firm step and a •hopeful

may be; but destroyed never There is
reason to rejoice that the ye low fever

depths of this woe those co munities
will come with renewed strength. If it
were otherwise, we might ind ed aban-
don hope for the South. he people
have too much at stake, and the busi-
nese of the valley is too grea . Its de-
