The National Policy in Canada '
and "Fair Trade" in England.
To the Editor of the Huron Expositor.
Stn,—In reading the EXPOSITOR, I
was greatly amused at some of the re-
marks contained in Mr. Hugh Love's
letters, giving his views and experience
on the changed condition Of affairs in
the old country. Mr. Love's uame
having been for many years before the
public as an instinctor of his brother
farmers in stock and cattle raising and
other matters connected with farming,
his remarks are always interestingeThe
last letters were both interesting, -in-
structive and amueing. Many of your
readers, not personally acquainted with
Hugh Love, Sr., will naturally paint in
their minds the aged patriot bowing his
grey head with sorrow to the grave, and
weeping over the perversity of his
adapted and ungrateful country in re-
turning only gvil, and that continually,'
to the land that gave them birth, and
wlio has nourished and suPpotted them
ever since. It is certainly's- sad spec-
tacle of filial ingratitude, but fortunate-
ly the picture is not true. In the first
place, Hugh LOVA, Sr., is a sprightly
young man, with scarcely a grey hair in
his head, and apparently not entitled to
have used the "senior" so long. He is,
however, an old politician whose bvery
word and move is calculated to advance
the interests of his "pairty," add to
have disastrous effects on his ofpon-
ents.
I would not have taken so much no-
tice of his letters only for the exalted
sneer her condescended to bestow oh the
N. P. Considering the improved con-
dition of the whole country, it ' comes
with a bad grace from any intelligent
person to sneer at the new policy. I
recollect the time—it was during Mc-
Kenzie's rule—that a new roof, a lean-
to, or a water closet built round a mane,
ufactaring establishment was published'
all over as being the sign of returning
prosperity. Alas, prosperity refused to
return until the assumtion of power by
the powers that now are, when, as if by
magic, sugar refineries that had stood they
for years began to work; new and in-
creased industries sprang into life, and with,
old ones were revived and enlarged. and
The blessings of the policy have been stall
felt equally by those wh.o favored and Eie„
those who oppposed it. Even John i tha'
Watson, of Ayr Agricultural Works, trie
that clearest of clear Grits, has i,20
been forced to leave his old premises pro
and water power, and put up a building
large enough to meet the requirements \ienig
of his trade. It must be a sad change Tent
to leave the place he has occupied for /Year or two at the furthest. Th
the last thirty years, which has always/08,p the duty st inSposed wo
been quite large enough and the power once turn the tid of immigration
great enough until now, and no doubt the old world and from Caned
would have continued so if his own po-
'litical head had been keiit in power, •Wo d even cause a rush fro
,e
which would have saved him. the trouble t n ten years En
and expense of putting up the buildings a
we read of. It is consoling, however, to MWa
h
think that what is Mr.
r. lees is al
his country's gain. Pa

the price they -ar now fore d
to the America s. Beidesj this,
Mr. Love gives a comparison of
prices in 1871 and 1881, showing that
during his first visit prices were then
nearly double what they are now. This
is strange, as prices were then much
lower in Canada than they are now.
This demonstrates beyond any doubt
that cheap freights enhance prices to
the producers and reduces them to con.
earners. This simple truth Mr. MC -
Kenzie, during his term of office, never
would learn, but alldwed Canadian
railways to carry all sorts of American
products into Canadian markets at fully
erne -half the rates they would carry our
own. Mr. Love also states that old
country farmers are terribly down on
American produce pouring into the
country, which fairly rains them. The
outlook for the British farmers is indeed
gloomy, but if theycomplain of low
prices now, when prices are up to al-
most famine mark in America, what
will they do when prices fall to starva-
tion figures in this country? It is
plain they cannot compete, even al-
though they had no rent to pay. Mr.
Love knows it takes two or three times
more money to manure an acre of eel
turnips in the old country than they van
are worth here when raised, and it is aorn
pretty much so in raising any kind of ! how
crop. P pe
