O 1"1'AWA, May 23.— The farmers' pilgtrnt,t: e to Ottawa leaves a ripple or two behind. Fur instance, there is the reflection that this, le the first Government iu lift; year:, that has had the courage to Handle the farmer like an ordinary human being, subject to the same burdens and obligations as the people who live in cities. Because agriculture is a basic industry of this country and also because the politicians wanted the agricultural vote, the farmer has escaped lightly for Litntliy years. Rightly or wrongly there has grown up in the city the i e..n on that the e far er is as nnucll responsible for the high cost of livingas the middleman, that he has done very well indeed out of the war, and that he uuglit to "conic access" more generous- ly. True he pay taxes via the tariff, to the Dominion 'Treasury, but so does everybody else. Isis township taxes are light, he is nut the victim of tag days, his contributions to the Patriotic and Red Cro.;.i funds do not make a deep hole in his pocket, and altogether he gets off with a very small. share of the white man's burden iia compared with the city man who is bled white for war aims of one kind and another, besides paying heavy realty taxes and two income taxes, one to the municipality, and one to the Govern- inent at Ottawa.. • The fernier er t t complains that he has not a taxable income, but the farmer's arith- metic fails to take account of many things that run away with incomes in the city food, for instance, which is regarded by him as the bounty of nature to his own fancily batt as dollars and cents to the consumer -iu the eitys It is on the cards that some day the vexed question of the farmer's a6eetsable income wits be settled by the simple artifice of taxing him on his capital investment and the surplus he has socked away in the bank Of course this sounds like hearsay because the farmer has been so long accustomed to see every- thing coming in and nothing going out that he is liable to make a holler when confrun:ed by real taxes. So far as tax- ing the farmer is concerned we are like grand opera itt ine Scotland "Just in our infancy." Another grievance of the farmer is the duty on .agricultural implements. The argument is that the tools of his trade are tared but for that matter so are theeeools of everybody's trade. This pencil that I write with and the paper that I write on —the tools of my. trade —are 'taxed but as long as I can sell my product I do not complain because a lead pencil costs me five cents when it might cost me three. It's markets that make people happy and the fanner has more markets and better ones right now than he ever had before. Manyof the farmers who • spent two days visiting Ottawa at a time when they would have been more profitably em- ployed on their farms went home wiser and -more cheerful men when they had listened to Sir Robert Borden's words. The Premier, no more than any other state than in this country, desires to take men away from their peaceful occupations and -send there to the battlefields 'of Europe, where as it happens, the great struggle its in progress which is to make nut only Europa: but tate whole world safe fur democracy. What sweetness,. one may ask, would there be in the toil of roan habituated to free institutions, if they had to goose-step to the tune the Hun plays? There is no breach of faith— no broken promise. As the crisis tightens from clay to day we realize that our one inviolable pledge is to win the -war by whatever means we can. • Our allegiance is to the democracy that we have pain- fully won in a thousand years, and if we would not loose it we must not stand on the letter of promises made when the conditions were different. Production was tate word a few months ago—man- power is the need today. The only true coni i ttnc i:i with the present. It i, ti:at oinable to suppose that many of the visiting fanners went home with a nay light on their duty to the State. As a matter of fact, no Government can tltederlake to say that this or that class of the cotmelueity will be immune from the Il•ali and blood sacrifice which this horrible war demands. For example, Quebec thought that no Government would everlay conscripting hands on her. 'E't'eh, the Government did, and after one wild epeeist- of anger, Quebec has settled down to her duty and is going about it willingly, and even cheerfully. Similarly, the farmleiu have been thinking that the Crwcrnnrt.rlt would keep conscripting- Irandb o;i therm —and the Government has dene. its beet—but cruel circumstances ran away v.ith the Government's inten- tione and now it is up to the farmer to unake hi.; ; acr;iit:e at least as willingly as Quebec made hers. It is a safe guess that not a Lingle tout in this democratic country is inlitseutly in favor of conscrip- tion, 'hent needs must when the devil chives. It goes without saying that con- scrilntion involves' many hardships—only tsons taken, sole :supports killed in battle, but those hard.,ltipt are the daily lot of city people who have given their loved once to .the cattle and no one believes that the farmer veil lag behind other Christians in love of the country that has made him happy and prosperous. Ile will see Itis duty. and he will do it without grumbling. The farmer's diti not, lis some contend, meet with a rebuff at Ottawa.

I desire to take advantage of this opportunity to express tb you my sin- cere thanks for the very consistent and unselfish support accorded tome during the ten years I had the honour to be your representative in the Ontario Legis- lature. During that period I endeavored to discharge my duteis as your represent- ative in the Interests of all my constitu. ents irrespective of party. It was my good fortune to be a mem- ber of the Legislature under the leader- ship of that distinguished statesman, the late Sir James Whitney, and subse- quently under his worthy successor the • present Premier, Sir William Hearst. Under their leadership we have had pure elections, progressive legislation, clean and honest adnninistration. The inauguration and carrying out of the great Hydro System, the great re- forms in the management of our prison'; and asylums; the rapid development of r Workmen's Northern Ontario, The m Compensation Act, the' prohibition of the liquor traffic; the enfranchisement of women; measures for a vigorous pro- secution of the 'war, .and to aid the wounded and disabled soldiers. are some of the more important measures which I had the privilege to. advocateand sup- port. I must, aiso, express my pleas- ure at the very cordial and friendly re- lations which have at all times existed between myself and ray political oppon- ents. Again thanking you, and trusting that when the dark cloud which still hovers over our land shall have passed away, We shall all enjoy a long future of the bright sunshine. — A. II. Musgrove.

Dr. Case was not able to be present and as it had been rumored that he had with- drawn from the field several of the candi- dates ai- d dates did not know whether they would let their names come before the conven- tion or not.

II.
