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.

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.

Iron and Hardware, Stoves and Tinware, Clinton, Ont.
duction of the per capita tax in the
United States has taken place syn•
chrorously with the burdens impos-
ed upon the people'. 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. '
