HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Clinton New Era, 1889-09-13, Page 81 The Balance of Trade. One or two miuisterial papers have lately tackled the problem of Britain's marvellous prosperity at the present time when business is dull, to say the least, in this protected country. On the or- thodox protectionist hypothesis of the balance of trade, au excess of imports over exports implies ruin, quick and complete ; but though that excess in the case of c,;$ritain reaches a truly enormous i$,um every year, instead of going tq the dogs she is heaping up Wealth at an unprecedented rate. Man English merchant sends APO worth of goods say to Chili, an wo •£6 balafl tent much should copper, th&° was a balance —that he was .much richer— because he would 'li ve imported nothing, and there Would be an excess of exports over imports to the amount of the original ship- ment. Curious, is it not, that men otherwise sane should believe in such fallacies? Away in 1876-79, when they first began to advocate protection, the. Canadian Conservatives hold the orthodox view that the bal- ance of trado, which had been against us.eyery year since.Con- federation, was a symptom 'of ruin ; and Sir Leonard Tilley un. dertook to turn it the other way. But he failed. The balance is still uniformly against us to the extent of over $20,000,000 a year on the average. Hence our pro- tectionist friends have found it necessary to execrate a somewhat remarkable feat in controversy. The journals just referred to argue that Britain cannot possibly be growing richer because of the ex- istence of'the huge adverse bal- ance against her, which, they say, represents a drain of gold to that amount, although it so'happens that Britain imported more gold than she exported. Then they wheel about in dealing with the adverse balance against Canada, and tell us that after all it is not a bad symptom, but a good one— that it consists of the profits our people, are drawing from their foreign trade. It is not easy.for liberals to run down adversaries of this nimbleness. - Without doubt, the so-called balance against Cantlda is com- posed in part of the profits on our exports. But it is necessary to boar in mind that ohs position differs 'tote ceelo' from that of Britain. Britain is a lending, not a borrowing, country. She has upwards of $10,000,000,000 (£2. 000,000,000stg)in foreign invest- ments, the interest Qn which she receives chiefly in the for m of im- ports ; and these with the profits on her export trade and earnings of iter vast shipping interests, constitute the 'excess of imports over exports. Canadian imports on the other hand, consist in no inconsiderable degree of borrow- ed money coming to us in. the shape of manufactures ; while in like manner our exports represent to some extent .the interest we have to hay the British. In this respect, our case is like that of all young countries which have to borrow capital to develop their re- sources ; and this it is which rend- ers the operation of a protective tariff all the more injurious. For instead of diverting our borrowed money into industries where It iy least advantageously employed, we ought to give it a chance to perform its function in those lines where the natural conditions are most propitious. exchanges them for copper h on its arrival in England the protectionists say the against him to the ex- 150—that he is that )qr. .But if the vessel lie bottom with the ey would say there 500 in his favor J'dinard'o Liniment for tale everywhere The extent of the trade between the DIaritimo provinces and the cities on the Atlantic seaboard of the United States may bo estimat- ed by the 'fact that on Monday last fifteen Zessels arrived at -New York alone with cargoes from points in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The vessels brought plaster, lumber, piling, lime. laths and general produce. And the shipments by water to New York are small compared with those sent to Boston, Portland, and other New England ports, as well as the receipts by railway. Under reciprocity the profits of the farm- ers, fishermen and lumbermen of the Maritime provinces upon their exports to theUnitedStates would bo increased by the amount of duty levied upon their products • by the American customs. CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS—HAY FEVER A. NEW HOME TREATMENT. Sufferers aro not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.

Tho United States Department of Agriculture at Washington has issued a bulletin on commercial poultry raising. If the hoe is kept in the oats, it will not rust, and it is just the thing for drawing the oats down to the door of the bin. -„,•-'s It is surprising how ,little oil it requires to keep farm machinery in order if only good oil is used, often enough. Many a farmer has made a for- tune by striking out to supply some trifling need of the market which the general producer has overlooked. Good draught or driving horses will pulLaway the mortgage and leave tha farm; the race horse will run away with the farm and leave the mortgage. This is the season to cut swamp willows. "Cut them in August and they will die, roots and all,” said an old nurseryman to the writer a few days ago. Mr Sullivan, market gardener, of Boston, thinks the ravages of the onion maggot and cut -worm are boat checked by the liberal use of bard wood ashes well har- rowed in. Nothing will,purify and keep a stable so clear from odors as the free use. of dry earth, and every one keeping bosses or cattle will find it pays to keep a heap of it at hand, to be used daily.— [German- town Telegraph. If you have a stream running from a spring, crossing a public road, be humane and -put a water- ing trough there. Haven't you ever realized what a blessing such a thing is -to a tired and thirsty horse on a warm day. Put a cover over the rain -water barrels to keep mosquitoes and flies out ; wire netting is best,as it will admit the air. It will keep the children from tumbling in headforemost, too, as we knew of one doing, who was narrowly saved from drowning. In building houses farmers should plan not only for appear- ances, but for the convenience of the family. Many a farmer's wife has been compelled to lead a life of toil and drudgery by the -need- less. neglect of her husband to ,make the home convenient. Always select dry land for poultry, and never build a poul- try -house where, the. `water will ever stand on the ground floor. Dampness means sickness or no profit every time. Cheap, dry, hilly land is better than low,.lev- el land for poultry, provided they aro Sufficiently fed ; but rich land affords more vegetation and mole insects to feed upon than Boor, thin land. If there is much ragweed among; the clover after th.e grain crop is gathered, and especially if it tow- ers above the clover, it should be cut down.

The Farmers' Review, of Chi- cago, has been investigating the loss which accrues to farmers from raising plug horses, instead of good grades, obtained by the use of pure-bred sires.- The aver- age price obtained forplugs, tak- ing the average of twelve States was, $96.67, the average of the good grades being $165. Allow- ing a difference of $15 in service and fee, the clear gain from the use of the pure-bred sire is ,s50 ; that is to say, farmers lose $50 per colt by not using a pure-bred sire. Enough said; if that is not a convincing fact there is no use in arguing further. That the pig is the most profit- able meat -producing machine on the farm is incontrovertible. The explanation of this is said to be the peculiar conformation of this animal. With a vary small stom- ach, the pig combines extraordin- ary length of intestines. "Of 100 pounds digested organic natter,. the fattening ox uses about 77 for heat and work; the sheep 74 and the pig only 57. Hence the pig is a rapid feeder and an economi- cal meat -maker. It is only ne- cessary to feed the machine with the right material. Ono great mistake often made is feeding, sour swill. All food should be given in as sweet a state as pos- sible. A clover patch for sum- mer pasture is greatly to be com- mended. An acre of good clover will support eight hogs all sum- mer, and if they are decent pork- ers to begin with, will acid 100 pounds to their weight, A. small grain ration at the end of the season will soon fit them for the butcher. The ,discussion about the ap- pointment of jud ,s at exhibi- tions waxes warm to hot, and in some quarters is getting some- what personal, which' is 'much to be regretted, It is agreed on all hands that this matter is of the highest importance, and that it needs to be put on a satisfactory basis. Hap -hazard appointment by association managers is "play- ed out." Many .excellent man- agers of exhibitions are not fit to select judges. In some way they should be chosen by the breeders of the several classes of live stock. Let them make out a list of men whose judgemnt can be trusted, and let directors pick out names. from such a list. There is a strong preference in some quart- ers for a one man judge, and much can be said in favor of this sys- tem. It is conducive -to upright judgment because the responsi- bility can neither'be divided nor shirked ; while it tends to rule out incompetent judges, who will accept office along with two com- panions behind whom they can h ide, but would not assume the task alone. The one judge sys- tem will doubtless come into vogue in time; meanwhile conn - 4,1 A NE' D,E'PAru.p, ' IN , E40'1 Nx". The four greatest medical centres of the world are •London, Paris.

This means a suggestion that the bull may n.0 longer remain 0 Source of 'annoyance and fear on the farm, but that he must earn his living as the other animals do on the farm. Why not, pray ? What has been the' divinity that has surrounded his builship so long that he has led ,such a life of ease ? rtie is quit© as capable of work as any other animal, and it makes him even more potent. Nothing but the rascal's vicious- ness has been the cause of his ex- emption, and the best way to take that out of him is to cut his horns off' and put him to work. It is a sin to the cows and to the bull himself to allow him to run with them in the pasture, while it is expensive to keep him in the stab- le if no other animal is kept up, while it also destroys his potency. Work will do him good and lengthen his life. The liking for celery is an ac- quired one, like that for tomatoes. But no plant g;i•own is more healthful, and it should be more generally on farmer's tables dur- ing fall and winter. It costs a good deal of labor to grow it fit for market. When the conditions are right the market gardener finds celery one of his most reli- able and most profitable crops. If farmers more generally grew calory, what they did not need for their own use could be most profitably sold. It is good to have a hired man on the farm -who takes sufficient interest in affairs to suggest new plans and improvements. Often ho is an intelligent man, and has had experience }n farming, his suggestion will have much value. Tho employee who has worked fora number of farmers, and has learned something from each one, becomes in time a master of the business, and usually makes a success of farming; when he starts on his own acr•nnnt. This was the .way o'd•time farmers of the better class learned their trade. Few, however, who intend Carmine, now they will smother clover where they lie.
