You are up against the season's problem. As tlie miluerF,

What qur gen Said.
We mentioned that a ouple of weeks that
.ago a deputation from tie Ontario Farmers'
Arm °elation visited Otte a and interviewed
the Government on sever 1 subjects in which
the farmers of thia prose oe are vitally in-
terested. . Huron 3was /*presented by Mr.
R. B. McLean, of Tuoltersmith, and Mr.
Hobert MoMordie, of Hay. The following
is a report of the gamarke of these gentle-
men on the various subjects Which were
presented to the Government for thole con -
Sideration :
NO HIGHER TARIFF WANTED.
Mr. MeMordie Haiti f mere have many
things to contend With n w, and moat em-
phatically object 4 any repose1 looking to
an inerease in those d ffieulties by act of
1?arliament.1 The ma,nuIaoturer8 geve as a
relation why the tariff should be increased
the fact that they are looking for dull times.
We, as farmers, ar also looking forward t3
the period of inevitable depression. But
we do not come to lie Gevernment asking
seeistance, at the expense pf the general tax-
payer, in tiding ov r the Idepreaaion which
is corning. We do Inot ask either for boun-
Ier or proteotion for oareel es ; but we do
aisk that other intsrteI1ail not be given
legielatie n Which wI1 enai le then -be tide
oger their period of di 'oulty at our ex-
pense.
, FARMERS NOT AS ROPE OTIS AS REPRE
S NTED.
McLean raid, we do not come here to
express oer own per onal v ewe. The views
I Om going to expre s are held by every
farmer with whom I have hiked concerning
the mat t3r. In reg id to he tariff, there
are no two opinione on hie pnint, at all
events, nannelythat here boatel be no in -
°retitle. What Mr. rooks has said as to
farmers not being as pros erous as repro.
seted is most emph tioall true. come
from as good a seal n as t ere is in Ontar-
io,( and I know the condi ions I here, and
know thrt.b farmers a e no sprosperoua as
represented. IN e c' not a k for a bonus, or
prattle:time in oarryin on o r indu try, but
we do ask that.other inter° ts hball not be
bonused and protected at oilir expense.
NO MORE SURSI IES.
n this subject Mr MoMordie said : The
poeition of the farme 8 on his question is
that there should be o m re bonuaing of
priVate railways at the ,ublio expense..
The debt which presses so h avily upon tho
people of this country to -da is largely due
'to tur syetem of bonnsiug ailvvaye in the
pant, and we are mot EILIO gly of opinioa
that this eystem Ehou d etcl, and end now.
,We do not believe it (10688 ry, so far as the
great Northwest is c ncerne , to go on bon-
ushrig railways as we ave ben doing Oa the
'paet. It is not a question as to whether
'coeds there will pay er not; it is simply a.
mat ttr of getting roads in uickly enough
to tarry oat the pre:citrate w ich era waiting
to be moved. If thee is ai y part of the
country where there i dou t as to railway
building being a payi g pro • oeition, it is in
the broken stretch be ween ltd Ontario and
the great Northwest. If the Government
thiak it necessary to isti.t ii increahing the
railway facilties bet et n Old Ontario and
the: West, it might b well to consider the
advisability of buildi g, as a publie enter-
prise, a connecting 1ik over the broken
section and allowing any private company
to nee this on payment of ieaaouable tell.
That would be a breaking way from the
bonneing evil, and, atthe 8ltTie time, secure
to the Government a dertain amount of con-
tra over the traffic toanl f om the West.
But to the granting o bonu es to private
railways we are decid dly *end.
• DRAINAGE ACR PSS RAILWAYS.
Mr. MoMordie, in d aling With the mat-
ter of drainage acr ss railWay property,
aid;: I understand, u der he Hon. Mr.
Blair s Railway Commission Bill, the coin-
missionert ' are to •e em owered to etty
where drains are to be ooatec3 &arose railtelay
property. That Used woul4I be more work
hart any one Cotentin n can -carry through,
t would be utterly imaossiblb for a • CoM-
misSion, co Meting of hree or five men, to
trivertigate very case f this kind betwetn
lifalifax and Vancouve . No provision deal-
ing With this matter will be satisfactory
Whieh does hot put th railway company in
the ee.me position as a private property own.
er. :I believe if the m mbere of the Goveln-
inent were familiar wi h the oonditicns that
exiet, the nvile we are ufferi g would have
been wiped out long a o, because I believe
you avieh to do what i right. The trouble
yeti do net hear ofteln enough from the
far4era, and no one b t a fa mer can rea!y
appeeciate how serious the difficulty we ia-
bor ander really is. As c petitions Ow
stand., railWayer can beo'ut ly block the
natural flow of water, nd th a render any
manber of ! acres al ng • thsir lines wholly
valueless
LAND IDLE P1 R 40 l'EARS.
Mr. McLean, in sin king of this seine
matter, said : "In m own ownehip thee
age iiiindrede of acres hat ar almoet worth-
less.! becauae the rat way onipanies are
blocking the natural fl w of ater. Thee
land's havebeen st.nding idle for.forty
year, and Seem likely to staid forty years
limeger. We have app sled the railway
authorities time and gain f r relief, and
have appealed in vain. We have a fairly
eatigentory drainage 1 w in the Provinoe of
Onter id, and would lik that 'same law made
applicable to railways s it is now applicable
to private property o ners."i
1 CATTLE GUARD LEGIS. ATION.
Mr. McLean said, o far as the cat le
guard matter is conce ned, f rmers are ab-
solutely unanimous. Up to 1888 we had a
eatiefactory Iaw. Un er the law twit stood
then, if an animal was killed a .a result of
getting upon the tra k aor as a railway
guard, the owner was eoomp need for his
loss::: As Uhl at pros nt, n matter how
negligent the railway may or how care -
fel the farmer may be, f an animal
le killed there is no co pens tion whatever.
Nothing will eatisfy short of making the
nalletays absolutely e d co pletely respon-
sible for every animal illed a remit of
getting across where a gu rd should be.
Thi e is what the Lana ster bi 1 provides for,
and that bill we desire to see become leen...-. ,
