The request, although bear- ing upon their avowed policy, was tweed down by the Government. A. rarer traveller told Tun Ttetne Tues. day that there Was no prospect of the duty being removed; the Government knew from whom they got a ,goodly portion a their °repttle fund,' mean - nig. no doubt, the paper mauufactur- ere. for mooching, endurance or fighting.

Sit (bales called Mr. Ilate &ten, by 6tating tbat he had eersenally paid all charges for that ear. awl that the people of thecountry suffered not a single iota. We would Ike to know if 31. Rate can say the same of his fishing excursion to Mute koka recently when he rode in the government car "Cumberiand." We thiuk not. as he boasted that it did not cost Lim anvthing. The total amount of .e.merican corn brooght into Canada fir borne con- sumption since the Liberal party has been in power, according to return inenight down by the minister of cu tome and blue book of 1890 is as fol- lows; - In 1800 there were 301T,030 bushels ; in 1597, 410309 ; in 1898 10,076,101 ; and in 1800, 23,3t2,811 bus hels. For the last year, 1809, the en ormous sem of $8,990,890 was paid to the elanemean farmer for corn to come to Canada to take the place of that matao bushels of course grains grown in Canada. Can the farmers of this country think of a, dollars worth of. grain which they grow and send to the United States and get any of this large amount of money paid the fer- n:leis there back again to Canada. If corn is allowed to t ome here free of duty, because it is only grown in a small portion of Canada, and if the duty was taken off in order to giye the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people, for the same season tbe duty should be taken off tobacco because it can only be grown where corn is grown. 'Why don't they make coal free, as that mineral is only found in a email portion of Canada? If the principle is correct, why not allow peaches to come here free of duty. Making corn tree is wrong in principle and it should not be allowed.to come in free of duty to the detriment of number of counties in which coru can be grown. When a bushel of cheap American cm o is ground into meal sold here it dieplaces an equal quantity of flour o oir Canadian corn, and keeps the price of our corn and wheat down. Where American corn is fed, in places where peas or oats are grown in Canada bile no corn, it takes the place of Canadian corn, and keeps the price of all course grains down. Be- fore corn MS made free, large quan- tities were shipped to the lower prov- inces, but now our cribs can groan, with being over -filled, and our farmers are forced to quietly stand by, and see corn from the western states, going east to supply a market that should belong to us. If we attempt to ship a bushel of corn to the United States, before 11. is allowed to enter, we must pay a duty of ten cents per bus- hel.
