• PROTECTION AND POPULATION
Some interesting facts regarding
the effect protection. has had in' the
past en the rural population of som.e
Oirtarie ieounties are given in the
Farmer's Sun, which says:
It is interesting to glance at the
assessors' reports of Ontario as far
ba at 1872. The townships' popu-
tett= of .the settled„ counties of old
Ontario -were gen.erally at the high-
-est in 479 and 1880. From that time
a decline set in, which has continued
eirer • since. • The turn was due, it
•be be assumed, in general terras,
to a decline of the rewards of farm
ihdustry, or to an. offer of higher re-
wards elsewhere, or in other indus-
These who bear protectionism
• a grudge enay be pleased to note that
the tarn coiecided with the inaugur-
aeon of the national *they. A fman-
dal boom in the United States may '
have been infuential and the home -
needs of the United States were
drawing- It was a year or two too
soort foe the influence of the build-
ing a the C.3 P. R., which set going
'the trek to Manitoba. . It was also
toe soon for the labor-saving self -
binder, which, if memory serves, did
not come into general use till 1883
or later. The extent of the decline
will be understood from the follow-
ing figurs: The township population
of 33ruce has declined, since 1880,
20,720, or 42 per cent; of Huron,
since 1879, 19271, or 37 per cent; of
rey, since 1879, 20,645, or 36 per
cent; Of Norflit, since 1879, 10,370,
or e39 per cent; of Ontario, since
187, 11;62.4, or 32 per cent; of Dur-
ham, sine 1874, 9,820 • or 40 per
eent;• and of Northumberland, since
1873, 9,656, or 34 per cent. The per-
sistenee of so exhausting a decline
leaves doubt •of. the persisting in-.
equality of economic opportunity on
the farms of old Ontario. From the
general economic point of vew, the
people who left the farms did better
'for themselves and produced more
wealth than if they had stayed at
home. But that consolation must
e tempered by the reflection that
duking the. building of the C. P. R.
and later from 1900 to 1913, and then
rom 1914 fee the end of the war tae
prosperity Which drew the people from
the land was largely economically

into. the cistern. Her calls were soon
