The Huron News-Record, 1891-09-09, Page 5EDITORIAL .NOTES. The month of July 1801 as cons ipared with the month of July 1890 shows the farmers of this country ibave sold of their products three quarters of a million dollars wore in July of this year than in July of last year. Clear proof that if our farming population remains com- paratively stationary as regards numbers, they are increasing in wealth. Mat1ter-ville (Iowa) Vindicator : "`Yesterday H. W. Woods thrashed 15 acres of oats that yielded him 70 bushels per acre by weight. The grain was Bold for 22 cents per bus- hel, bringing him $231.." In this -cramped Canadian market farmers can, in towns like Clinton, get from 30 to 35ceuts for their oats. Great gain to Canadian farmers, eh ! to :have free access to the American market and get from 8 to 13 cents per bushel . less than do under ex- isting conditions. One thing is certain, that it our' farming population has not increas- ed as rapidly in numbers recently as they might h the done, farmers have been selling more produce than ever, which should make them wealthier. The farmers of the Dominion ten years ago sold for export produce valued at $30,000, 000, In 1801 they sold for export produce valued at $37,000,000. While the total exports from the country increased by $17,000,1)00 during the same period. Cartwright and his friends want commercial union or unreatricttd reciprocity. They ale opposed to the present protective sys' tem in Canada. Tbyy e'tll it legal- ized robbery bee disc we have a tar iff averaging 27 per cent. They want to get in under the American system of legalized robbery under which the tariff' is 60 per cont. Pal- pably, simply and nakedly Cart- wright and his frienth demand more protection. Now, if they want more protection why not advocate it straight, right in the Dominion Par- liament, instead of advocating the the circumlocution dodge by way of Washington. Ottawa is the place where a higher tariff for Canada should he legislated, not Washing- ton. r { As-th-erli7he-'wuvYd-saw. '9'I: e i• e K It is lnrperative, it is mandatory by the terms of the British North America got that, a redisttibution of parliamentary seats be mede every ten years, on the basis �f population ati returned by the census. And yet the Oppositiop find cause for attacking the Government when a re arrangement is talked of. The Montreal Witness says that under the new order- of tbings,necessitated by the census returns, "Nova Scotia will henceforth have twenty repre- sentatives instead of twenty-one' New Brunswick fourteen instead of sixteen, and Prince Edward Island five instead of six, Manitoba gains two while British Columbia and the North-West remain like Ontario and Quebec, as they are." It will be remembered that the normal and fixed representation of Quebec is 65 members Divide that number into the population of Quebec and the result ie the unit of representa- tion for all the other Provinces. Ill 1878 Canada exported pro• ducts v Clued at $65,7.40,134, in 1890 praducta valued at $82,335,51.4, This is strong evidence of material prosperity. The farmers 'meet be more prosperous than in 1878. In the year named their exports were valued at $30,000,000 ; in 1800 at $37,000,000. And between 1878 and 1890 the city and town population of the country increased by fully 500,- 000. Thus the home market in- creased during the twelve years by 50 put Cent and exports increased by $17,000,000, while at the same time prices of all commodities used by faruteis fell in price. Can dem- onstration be :Aura complete 1 in almost every other direction evi- dence of prosperity is found. Front 1878 to 1899 the letters posted rose from 44,000,0000 to 94,000,000 ; newspapers front 39,000,000 to 70,- 000,000; couunerce from 6,600,000 to 10,300,000 tons ; imports from $91,000,000 to $112,000,000 ; rail- way mileage from 5,143 to 13,256 ; rail tvay'earniugs from $21,000,000 ; to $47,000,000 and so on through all linea of indu:)tries.

Ono thing is manifest and that is that the industrial interests of the country have kept pace with the raising of the tariff. Every advance made in U. S. tariff has been responded to by increased pros- perity and a reduction of the public debt. Of course the time has nearly arrived when an opposite fiscal pol- icy will have to be pursued -when, as in Britain a gradual reduction in the taxes on imports will take place. Canada would do well to follow Great Britain and the United States by adopting a stiffer protective pol- icy than we now have. It will be seed well sown, and in a few years we should reap the -harvest result- ing from it as other countries have. WA N'I'S TO KNOW, t; {Iirago Inter Ocean:—To the tor. -A bet has been made between two gentlemen on a 111athiellistical proposition. A beta that 18 and times 18 and a is 351, and his op, -ponent brit tat -the sum is iron-- rect. They agree to leave the decis- ion of the bet to the Inter Ocean. Please reply through your columns and give a demonstration of the problem. JOE N ELsoN. Assistant Superintendent of Schools, James Hannan, says A loses, if the problem is a straight one of multiplication. County Sup- erintendent Lane says the same, as the answer would be 351 9-16. But by the way the question is put, Mr. Lane thinks, !neatest is intended, in- asmuch as the word "sum" is used. If "sum", which indicates an addi, tion of the question, is meant, 18, and times 18, and , is not 351. It would be 321. The Seaforth Sun is doing good work for the Conservative party by publishing in the form of a con- tinued story the "Romance of the Budget" alias "John McMillan's Speech." The flights of imagination -that thec uthor indulge inare bare- ly excelled by that prince of fiction creators, Jules Verne. It does not -require that anyone conversant with Canadian affairs shall be -told that Mr. McMillan is romancing. Even where he does not use figurative language his figures laugh in a droll manner at each other that speaks as plainly as words could express : -"We are not as bad as we look ; we are just rollicking together for a hit of diversion." And the naughts and nines ogle each other as funnily as ever did Donald and Dorothy or Bridget and Barney. It is fair to presume that the Sun gets paid by the author for publishing the coin- ing. of his imagination. If we are correct, the Smite is to be congratu• hated on helping the Conservative party and corralling the shekels of such a stalwart it as .Tohn Mc- Millan, M. Perla the same time. We take it that the Reform paper of Seaforth knew better than to afford aid and •comfort to its enemy by reprinting McMillan's Budget Romance.
