LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Farmer Speaks to Farmees. THOUGHTS FOR VOTERS IN QUEEN'S. Srr,-—The Dominion elections are now | upon us, and T have just been thinking, as! a farmer, to how great an extent the result ' will effect us. In view of the fact,that we farmers are the most numerous and im- portant class on the Isl: and, and for that ma!ter in the whole Dominion, it would be well for us to carefully consider the issues raised, and so regulate our conduct and poll our votes as that our common interest shall

| be served.

But, it will be asked, ‘‘What are our in- terests?”’ This is the question that I will try and answer. In a country such as this, where agriculture is the only industry, and where no manufactures exist except those that are inseparable from agriculture and maintained by the farming class, it is

FIRST NECESSARY

that as few people shall be supported on the earnings and work of the farmer as pessible, and that his meagre profits shall be shared as little as he can help. If any farmer considers the matter he must come to the conclusion that each and every class on this Island, professional «nen, merchant and tradesmen are directly or indirectly} supported by his labor, because this is the only source of wealth we have. Now

THE QUESTION FOR US FARMERS

to consider is, amongst which of the classes is it wise for us to select from to serve us for the next five years in Ottawa’ Upon our election shall depend the policy of the Government in many things, For this reason we, as farmers, should see that we select one who will legislate in our interests and jealousy guard them when they are likely to suffer. Now, I have come to a conclusion in the matter which | consider is the only wise and reasonable one in the premises. It is to

SUPPORT FARMERS TO LOOK AFTER OUR IN-

TERESTS,

No reasonable man would say but that, if the interest of the merchant class was at stake, the best man to look after that interest, would be a merchant, one who understands the wants of his class, and was trom self interest and association, determined not to have it suffer. The same rule applies to all other classes, doctors w represent doctors, Jawyers to represent lawyers. Of course, there would be cases in which an exception might be made. Supposing the exigencies of the case were such that farmers had not an available man. In such case as that a man would have to be selected out of the ranks of some of that class.

IT WOULD BE MADNESS,

though, to sclect a man whose interest was utterly opposed to that of the farmers. Ii a conspicuously able merchant, for instance, was available, then he might be supported, for his interests are ina great many cases identical with that of the farmer. As long as the farmer is Prosperous, he knows he

will be more likely to enlarge his trade with him. A doctor would know that his fees would be more likely to be forth-

coming if prices were high. With lawyers

the case is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

Their interests are entirely opposed to those of every other class, but especially to those of the farmer. When prices are high and times are good ; when fartners are able to pay their bills and pay the mort- gages on their farms ; when business men are able to meet their engagements and extend their trade ; when banks are in a sound condition and trade safe and healthy, - then the lawyers have to look around to see where their bread and butter is to come from. But when prices are low and times poor, when people are unable to pay their bills and mortgages are being foreclosed, business men failing, banks breaking, the sheriff stalking through the land, and every kind of disaster upon us, then the lawyer makes his harvest. Farmers, tradesmen and merchants, too!—just as sure as you like to seea good harvest, so does the lawyer.

If these facts are true—and you may de- pend upon it they are,—the experience of the last ten years more than proves every one of them—-how can any man other than a lawyer reconcile i with his interest and the interest of his country to vote for Louis H. Davies. Able man and good lawyer he is, | admit; but we use our ability to make our business successful and a living for our- selves and families, and he will do so too, and every dollar he and every other lawyer

‘gets into his pocket comes out of yours. He is no *‘cheese-paring politician,’ as he

Srr, —In reply. to ‘*Schoolboy,” whose communication appeared in your issue of Jan. 20th, I may say that his assertions are entirely unfounded, as I have not in any way aided Mr. J. T.

eee Enemies of the Smaller Provinces.

(Moncton Times. )

It was Sir Richard Cartwright, we think, who once described Ontario as the milch cow of the Dominion, the insinuation being that the smaller Provinces, New Brunswick,

Nova Scotia and P. E. Island, are only suckling calves.

This idea runs through all the Grit speech. Mr. M. C. Cameron, another of Mr. Bia: e’s Ontario Lieutenants, speaking at St. Thomas a few months ago said

‘We have, in Ontario, to build our own railroads, and are taxed for building reads in the Eastern Provinces. If we lived in those

he puilt out of nment Vinces cost

Provinees our ratlroads would the public funds. In 1884, t Gove local railroads in the Eastern P1 $8,000,000. He protest d

Sir Richird Cartwright aga n, Sept., 1883,

said :

‘*TIn short, Lut for the unfortunate mistake committed in 1873, by our assumption of the Provincial debts, and some othe) pleces oft ex

travagance of a like character, which vou will do me the justice to remember, | opposed to the very utmost.of my power, I would feel very little fear of any considerable defalation in our income in any event.

The Grit Party throughout opposed all proposals for better terms for the Maritime Provinces.

Mr. Biake and his Ontario followers up

posed the Short Line Subsidy, and they have opposed giving aid to our local rail ways, which would never have been built but for the fact that the Dominion Gov ernment came to the assistance of the loca] governments.

When the Mackenzie Government were in power they quietly suppressed all mari

pul lic works the ut

possible to

time it was eet ss. This was the case with the Bay Verte canal. The Mackenzie Government

decided that the expenditure for that work

could not be entertained, owing to objec- tions from the Ontario members. They then appointed a commission for the pur pese of reporting against the enterprise. This commission cost fifty thousand dollars and the Grits were afterward obligea to

confess that it had been decide | not to pro ceed with the work before the had been appointed.

COMMISSION

While the Grits were in power subsidis to the prcvincial governments were rr duced by over three hundred thousand dollars.

During the five years of Grit rule, not one dollar of provincial debt was assumed or one dollar of better terms grant« dl

And so it is all through the chapter. Return the Grits to puwer and we will have an Ontario policy, which means the partial suppression of our coal mines, which fur nish a livelihood for over thousand persis, and the closing of our industries. Put the Grits in po ver and bid good-bye to the Prince Edward Island subway, and many other enterprises calculated to advance the interests of the-Maritime Pro-

twenty

vinces. But more serious than anything, by putting the Gris in power we pat in power men who have no united policy,

some pretending to favor the present pro

tective tariff, others favoring tariff for

revenue, still others favoring the abolition

of provincial subsidies and a resort to direct

taxation at once for our provincial services. a + <> - <a —
