First then, there is a scarcity of labor of all okinds, next, we are a nomadic race. and then the honorable member for West Hastings, not seem- ing to have satisfied himself that he has given any sane explanation ,of the difficulty, consoles the trustees in them nothing awnatever.

His argument is mieanngless unless this -were his object, and, Sir, I am quite certain that the older farmers of this province-, who recol. led the facts, will luive dilficulty in 'understanding the Honorable the Provincial Treasurer's view point• in fact, they will be amazed at the toad he has placed upon his party. They will recall the disaetrous effect the abrogation of the treaty in 1866 had upon prices; wool, that prier to the abrogation sold tor 40e. a pound dropped immediately to 15c.; lambs that sold for .$4.50 dropped immedi- ately to 82.50; the prices •of horses, cattle, add hogs were cut in halves as soon as the treaty was abrogated; barley, which sold for $1.20 .to $1.25 per bushel dropped frornediatOy to 40 .or 50 cents,,and so on, for practically everything the farmer had to sell. When, therefore, the Honorable the Provincial Treasurer essays the, Hur- culean task of proving thet these re- sults of the abrogation of the treaty were beneficial, at all events to the farming community, they, to put it , mildly, will indeed be amazed, • Both Sides Desired Reciprocity. - the Honorable .the Provincial Treasurer is right andthe results of the treaty ef 1854-1866 were injurious utondt:I:re P-surnov,idnoeeess lpite Caftan, howthe evereiccurring and persistently ' recur- ring attenipts of his Dominion leaders to secura,a renewal' of • the treaty?
