The leader of the Opposition in.
recent tour through Outerio has;tak
the farmers uncler•his special pate
age; nt d with that cheap rapuanimi
which costs so little, and upon the
role principle of taking sides with o
hundred farmers against half a ma
fneturer, he undertook to tell his au
gr
once that the farmer was ground do
beneath a load of taxes, in order to su
port the pampered manufacturer. 0
farmers as a rule, are a shrewd int
ligent class of people; and they like
know the reason of things, As for i
Laurier's oratorical display of litera
pyrotechnics on the platform, they a
full of indifinite generalities; his fa
are distorted, and therefore his arg
ments are worthless. The premis
not being nroveri, his conclusions a
inadmissible. We shall single out tt
of his assertions—which form the stap
of all his platform addresses—to sho
how far astray he is in his facts, a
how utterly untenable are his conte
tions. First of all Mr. Laurier has t
the farmers of Ontario:—“The real e
tate of this country has depreciated
per cent." Suppose it were true, wou
a change of government or a chang
of policy from moderate protection
free trade improve the value of far
lands? How does he propose to rai
the price of farm lands in Ontari
Suppose the policy of Mr, Laurier we
adopted, and the farm products of eh
United States were admitted free
duty to compete with similiar produc
in Ontario,—such as beef, pork, baso
hams, corn, &c.—by what magical pr
cess are our farmers to increase thei
sales and get higher prices, or rais
the value of farm lands? He canno
tell us. But this depreciation of Ian
is not peculiar to Canada—in Englan
with the fiscal system that Mr. Laurie
would introduce into this country, th
depreciation has gone down to 80 pe
cent;,and in the United States, wher
they have a high protective tariff, far
lands have lessened in yalue from 2
to 40 per cent! One main reason fo
the depriciation in this Province is: ow
ing to the reduced price.of wheat an
other products, because of the surplu
crops of grain harvested in the grea
North West. But Mr. Laurier forget
to tell the Ontario farmer that th
prices of every article he has to bu
haye fallen in proportion, and there
fore that he is better off than he wa
10, 15 or 20 years ago. Statistics go
to prove this beyond a doubt. And
when we compare the published price
list of shop goods,farm implements bin-
der twine, and other articles which the
American or Canadian farther has to
buy the advantages are all on the side
of Canada.
But Mr, Laurier has got another
string to his bow—he contends that
our farmers are heavily taxed, and he
has tried to enlist their sympathy by
representing them as being unduly
burdened' as compared with other class•
esin the community. Let us see.
Pointing to those wicked Tories, he
says: "See what these rascals have
done; when the liberals were in power
in 1874-78, the Dominion was run at
an annual cost of ,$22,000,000; but
since the Conservatives have got the
reins of government, the cost of run-
ning this country has reached $38,000-
000. This is what the Tories have
done, and they are making you farm
ers pay for the music"! Mr. Laurier
seems to forget the strides this country
has made under Conservative rule—the
enormous investments made in nubile'
works, such as canals and railways he
forgets that"Canada is a much bigger
concern than it was 15 years ago -and
that the money lenders of Great Brit
ain are quite satisfied with our seeur
ity. Iie ignores the fact that this great
country must be supported by a rev
enue; and if the Liberals should even.
get into power and abolish protection
how is the money to be raised to meet
current expenses? But it needs no
argument to proye that farmers in
Canada are less burdened with taxa-
tion than any other country under` the
sue. Have they a cent of to c to pay
upyn the necessaries of life -their tea,
sugar, coffee, rice. or many other im-
ported goods? Have they any tax to
pay upon tho products' of the .farm --
their or dairy -produce; graince their tine:
Yp ,
ber, bricks, tiles or a'' thousand other
things necessary to inrreaee the valti

1without it-�-bue it is admitted' on al
hands that the condition o Ontario
o
farmers is superior to tbat of thesante,
class in any other country, particular-
h- the United States, Sweep away the
moderate protection tariff that we now
have, and Canada will again become
a slaughter market for the products of
a foreign country. Whet we want is
b0 eonti ita and enlarge
mer homea mar-
ket
for our own people, by building rep.
factories, opening up our mines, eeono-
mising our timber, forests, extending'
our industrial pursuits, and thus in-
creasing our population and securing
a ready sale for ""farm products in the
cities a d towns, and in foreign collo
tries as well. What Canada needs is
more industrial developement, fiscal"
independence, proteetiou for home in
dustries, and thus make and keep it a
country for Canadians first, last and all
the time.
A HINT TO FARMERS.
The marked success that attended
the exhibits of Canadian farmers at the
World's Fair must have been very en.
couraging. Indeed, if it served no
other purpose the Columbian Exposi-
tion has proved to he the best Possible
advertizetrent of the natural and in
dustrial resources of this country.
There is just one thing which it would
be well for our farmers now to study
and cultivate—that is, to give special
attention to those departmects of agri
culture in which they were most suc-
cessful at the World's Fair. As for
wheat, Ontario farmers need never ex-
pect to compete ,vith the great North
West, where the soil is so rich and
where the cost of raising wheat is not
one half of what it is in these Eastern
provinces. But in horses and other
livestock, in sheep and swine, and
above all in dairy products, Canadian
farmers well nigh swept the boards at
the International Exhibition—in fact,
the United States were awav 'behind
in most of those departments. Our
exhibit of cheese for example, carried
99e per cent of all the premiums;while
in live stock—such as grade cattle,
horses, and swine -Canada more than
held its own .against the world. Now
it is•jusehere that our farmers ,can
profit by the experience of the World's
Fair, namely, to make a speciality of
raising those products wherein they
excelled at Chicago. They have learnt
an "object lesson;' froth which. much
practical ya'-ue may be derived. Take
forinstance; the dairy products—butter
and cheese, it is evident that the soil
and climate. of Canada are both more
favorable of the cultivation of good
stock and dairy . products, than
are the soil and climate of'the United
States. The result's
have'
proved ed this
to a demonstration. The time has
gone by—in these eastern provinces
at least=to depend on wheat -raising,
what our farmers in Ontario and the
East require, is more.of 'mixed farm
ing. Let them make a specialty of
crops, which will be returned back to
the soil in the raising of stock; and
this again will yield more remunera
tive prices to the farmer than wheat.
raising. Any practical farmer knows
that wheat and oats tend to impoverish
and exhaust the soil,whereas root crops
fed to livestock economise and enrich
the land. Then the new ideas imparted
by the observations made at the Ex-
perimental farms, at.Ottawa and else-
wliere,—and the hints given from time
to time by the Dairy'; Commissioner in
hie practical "talks" eyith our farmers,
will go far totwards }making agricul-
ture more successful and more remu-
nerative as a, profes ion. We augur
the best results from our experience at
the World's' Fair, and we .opine' that
the money spent by t'he Dominion and
Provincial governments was the best
possible•investment ih the interest of
our agricultural •classes._.".
