To 4e Editor of the II ron Expositor. Letter N.. 5. Site -Free trade is ound in princi- ple. -The Creator full intended that the different nations o the earth should exchangethe natural aroducts of each country for those of the others. It could be done to the e dual advantage of 'all.. But when a yo ng country like Canada has a neighbo who has no re- gard for either the law of God or man, nor any respect for the' obligations, cir- cumstances alter case Protection may be a violation of the u atural laws of trade, but when a nation of 45,000,000 chooses to violate that aw for the pur- pose of getting an und e advantage of other countries, it mus be fought with its own weapons. En land and Cana- da should take counc 1 together on the trade question, and b 'nu the Ameri- cans to fair terms. I believe strongly in the doctrine of Us late Sandfield Macdonald, viz.: Sup orting our sup- portotrs. The Englis markets being alw ys open for our urplus produce, -we should be careful not to decrease our purchasing power fi om them by in- creasing the -cost to th consumers. Protection is like a water privileg for driving machinery The power i not greatest, when the watee is highest At such times it is qui e cbihrrioe to se mills standing for wan of power, wit back enter. So wit protection • to much4s worse than n ue at all. When- eveithe purchasing po er of the coun- try is reduced by iner ased cost, it is just so much back wa or. Farming beipg the s time of wealth, the mainspring that d ives all other in- dustries, and which i capable of the greatest developmeet should be pro- tected with a duty of 10c to 15e per busbel on all kinds of grain. So long as there is a surplus i cannot increase the 'cost to the con mers. It seethe stratie that a aountr as large as the. United States, cape le of sustaining 100,000,000, cannot raise oats and, wheat to keep our ills going, nor enough coarse grains t make our own whiskey. How absur ; then, to allow faun produce to be re ' ticed below the cost of production, by the discrimina- tion in rates of freight and the unjust competition 'of a se sh neighbor. If farming is not made u profita,ble,we will only raise enough to supply our own wants, which would b u. ruinousi to the country. We would t en hav&to de- pend entirely on our n ighbore for sup- plies, without the mon y to buy them. Dal you ever know any difference in the price of a glass of b er, or whiskey, whether grain was Ic or $1.40 per bushel? Why then n t provide either the grain or the rotten potatoes t� Make -it? The whiskey eusiness. being a fraud as well as a cu se, the farmers, who have to bear the 1 on's share_ of the effects of the curse in increased taxa- tion, should not be deprived of the benefits of the fraud If we cannot compete with the An ericans in sup- plying our wants, wit the great ad- vantages we enjo in raising grain, how can we, with our great disadvantages, cornpet in feeding cat- tle, if we have to bu the feed with which todo it :from the Americans? There has been a grea deal of dishon- esty amongst both par ies on this ques- tion. Those who tri d to naalse far- mers believe that a duty of 20c on wheat would raise it ti at'amounaknow better, and the _Globe as equallywrong when it tried to fri ten the Lower Provinces with dear b ead. The bene- fits to the country will e of an indirect character. Store keep rs know the ad- vanteges of a cash tr e. .They incur iio riaks and can work n small profits. If sol, will any sane m n deny that a cash, trade of $15,000,0 in hay, oats, barley, peas, wheat' nd their, would net benefit the millers and your. deal- ers?I Why, then, d ;prive them of it by paying cash and commis- sienS to the Arn ricans for in- ferior, unmercbantab e' produce, at prices far above its ex uort value, when We either have to roij ourselves of a - market altogether; or f roe us to trust it to strangers 3,000 m les away ?It is surely absurd to destroy a. legitimate cash.trade and take ri. ks we have no a I I 4 3 / right to run. This we have been 'doing for the past five years t a loss of $5,t- 000,000 per annum. f we had been doin a profitable bus ness, how is it that an agricultural c nary that has enjoyed good crops nd good prices should have got so har up all at once.? t I SEAF ticular machine on its me more they sell the greater t 'All industries that do not req tection , should be protected, people prefer buying articles distance, rather than at horn they will pay higher prices There have been -$12,000 American wooden plows sol town during the last two m they had been made here, it i if a. single plow could have posed of, Last winter an "h mer" ham Dumfries sold ala tity of seed wheat at $10 pe when the same kind was selli market at $1.
