TJJ , FARMERS AND COMMERCIAL
. UNION.
The Grit press is trying to make farmers
).relieve that they may add prosperity to the
rural interests by commercial Raton with the
States. At the diffeleut Farmers' 1net.tates,
held -'under the patropupe of the Mowat Gov
eminent; a few political wire pullers aro al
ways on hand to try and tmprees the farmer
with the belief that they are poor and down
-✓(trodden. At the late Central Farmers' In
stitute, so- called, held in Toronto, uud, by
the way. run by Mr Valaucy Fuller, he assert-
ed that the Canadian fanners were not as
prosperous as those of the United States.
The broad assertion was nor sustained by one
single comparison or fact that would show
that Commercial Union would benefit a farm-
er here. '
Everything an Ontario farmer wants to but, is
(ts •cheap, if not cheaper, here than in the
United seates, and his surplus pruduccs meet
on a cummuu level in the two ket of the world
with those -of the ljuited Stats. -Then, can
.anyone explain where Commercial Union
would be of any advantage ?
The L anion Free Press, from which the
above was copied, evidently thinks that if it
owe only lead the farmers t r believe the age
tatiou for commercial uuion has sprung from
"Grit" sources, it will soon receive its
quietus. The Free Press starts out with a
falsehood in the first place, for Mr. Valaucy
'Faller, of Hamilton, the gentleman who is
moat active in agitating the question of com-
mercial union, stated recently that he had
been n Conservative all his life. Goldwin
Smith, another leading `advocate, is surely
not a "Grit," and neither is Mr. 'Thomas
Shaw, edit tr of the Canada Live Stook
Joflrual, who has attended a number of
'meetings and spoken in favor of commercial
union. '
'rhe free Press pretends to believe that it
would not be to the interest of the farmer to
have better trade relations with the United
State++ (This is the swine Free Press that
was at oue time a atroug advob.tte of free
trade principles but chanted its views in n
night—for "commercial" reasons) Wo believe
that it would be to the interest of the fanner.
We believe, also, that it would give a won•
dorful impetus to asricultnre generally, and
we will state our reasons for the tirst asser•
tion. At the present time nearly all out
heavy horses find a maiket in the United
States; we have no other market that is
equal to it. Ask any farmer where is his
beet maiket for horses, and he will invari•
ably say "the United States," Suppose tine
market was pra.tioaliy closed to Canadian
horses, what would be the result? Simply
this, that horses which to day' sell at from
$175 to $251 would materially decrease in
price. "But," some opponent of the union
.gill say, "if .he Americans want our horse
.they will have them anyhow." All rigln,
bnt they buy them to -day in the face of e
29 per cent duty. Now if it, pays to send
Canadian horses to the States, and add the
duty to their price before ro•selliug them
there, is it not going to pay the Canadian
producer of horses better if that duty were
removed altogether. This is one way in
which' :we believe commercial union would
benefit the Canadian farmer.
Let us enumerate one or two other items
of farm produce that hold the same position
as do horses. Where does nearly all th.
barley raised in 'Canada find a market? It
---- theUanod States._.«lleresare nearly, Allem-
Tenths shipped? To the United States.
Where do most of our stock cat 1 • go? T..

Oh, a wonderful stream is the River of Time
As it runs through the realm of tears,
With a faultless r•h3 that and a musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep and a surge sublime,
An it blends with the ocean of tears..
How the w inters are drifting like hakes of snow
And the summers like buds between ;
And the year in the sheaf as they opine and go
On the river's breast, with its ebh and Row,
As it glides in the shadow and sheeu,
There's a magical isle up the River Time
Where the soft airs aro playing ; :
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical clime,
And a Tong as sweet as a vesper chime,
Aud the times with the roses are staying,
And the name of this fele is the Long Ago i
And we bury our treasures there ;
There arebrnws of beauty and bosoms of snow;
There ere heaps of dust, biit we love them so;
There are trinkets and tresime of hair.
