We remember very well what manufacturing was like, what there was of it. V The farmers were struggling on farms and getting low prices for their produce. The few manufacturers were also struggling, for the most part unsuccessfully.

_For _forty years we have worked together. Have we not both prospered ,_ _

We buy from you most of what youigrow. You buy from us most of what we make. That has been and is the basis of our alliance.

The manufacturing establislimentslin Canada employ- nearly 700,000 people. Their wage-roll is

' about $700,000,000 a year. Moreover, they buy annually nearly $2,000,000,000 worth of rnw‘material,

mostly in Canada. Around these _factories are ccngregetecl a hundred other forms of business. All

' these are your customers, and _'statistics show that this home market is four times as valuable to you as

your entire foreign market. Decrease its buying powers, and your sales lessen and your prices drop.

The Prairie Grain Growers are urging' the Govern-

ment to throw down the tariff wall between Canada and the United States because they want to save n little money (mainly on freight rates) by buying from the United States manufacturers just ‘south of them. They, who constitute about 20 per cent. of the agricultural population of Canada, ask _all the other farmers, who constitute the remaining 80 per cent., to change the policy which they have supported for forty years. _ `

Furthermore, to raise the Dominion _Government re-

venue, tliey would substitute for the tariff, which collected last year about 60 per cent. of that revenue, an increase of income taxes, inheritance taxes, corporation taxes and taxes on unimproved land values. As it is quite obvious that such taxes would affect the farmer but little, this is the inducement they are using to get you to forsake us and follow the free trade prophets no one knows where.

We think this appeal will `fail. First, ibecausc it

seems to be founded on the assumption that the farmers of Canada want to slip out of paying any increased taxes that may be needed for soldiers' pensions, grntuities and

' GREAT BRITAIN is shutting out tlicgoods of other countries (except the Dominions). FRANCE and ITALY are abutting out the goods of other countries _by import restrictions. ' _ " _ THE. DEMOCRATIC PARTY in the United States, wliicli advocates low tariffs, seems to be going out of power, and the Republicans, -who always support high tariffs, have now n majority in both Senate and Congress.

Do you think that this means that the United States’ tariff

re-establishment. We have found in all our experience that the farmers of Canada are not this class of mcn._ Second, because the argument is unsound. lt requires little reflection to see that if our market is thrown open and flooded, many of our manufacturers, caught in the struggle to re-adjust themselves from war to peace con- ditions, will not be able to keep going. Would this not result in many of our people, unless tl-iey were able and willing to take up farming, leaving for the United States? Would not the rest of the population then, which might consist chiefly of farmers, have to pay all the taxes? '

» 'The Grain Growers do not represent the entire popu~

lation of the Prairie Provinces. They do not represent thebusiness population; they do not by any means repre- sent all the farmers. The Prairie Grain Growers' Associ~‘ ations are dominated by ta group of free traders whose one idea seems to be to get free trade all over the world. Unfortunately for their theories, just at the present time all the rest of the world seems desirous of getting protec~ tion. .

Tariff Policy of Other _Nations 0

SOUTH AFRICA is increasing its tariff. Australia,

New Zealand, Newfoundland, Japan, Brazil and Portugal are all jealously maintaining their tariffs.

Why is this wave of protection sweeping over the

worlcl? In a word, because the various countries are try- ing to produce all they need at home, in order to provide work for their own people--many of them returned soldiers. _ .

Why then is this Western minority of the farmers' of

Canada determined to go in the exactly opposite direction?

d t 'n an sense intend as they sometimes say, to show hos-

'_ fn opposing the demands of the Grain Growers, wc_ o no l y . , yy ift to tla"c They are our customers Is not our prosperity affected by theirs? Beyond all this, if the farmers do

t ly* _ _ _ - not prosper, neither we nor the country can prosper. Agri :ulturc and industry are the basis of the country’s strength.
