#7 “Free agricultural implements" was a feature

' - of the discussion before the tariff‘ commission here i "oi-Thursday. It is an attractive sop to hold out to

ftirmers but when narrowed down to clear cold f ts as it was under the searchlight of the commis- sibn the burden imposed by the duty on the few re- maining dutiable implements coming into Canada, looks ridiculously small. The contribution by our farmers to the revenue through the payment of duty on a few agricultural implements, also looks and is ridiculously small when compared with what they would be obliged to pay in direct taxes if the tar- iii’ were abolished.

While straining at this gnat, howeveryis it not strange that so little is being said by the tariff re- formers about the camel that our farmers are com- pelled to swallow because of the want 0f protection in other lines.

Take, for instance, our hog industry, one of the

_ principal lines on our farms and one in which Can-

- ada is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars be- cause of the want of adequate protection_ yet for a modern free trader to admit the need of protection in anything would be to give his whole case away.

As our readers well know, practically all our large Canadian pork packing concerns are affiliated with the Chicago and other United States packers or are operating branches in ‘the United States. A

_ few days ago our news columns announced that Arm

our and Co., have ceased operations at Hamilton, On tario, and have withdrawn to their main plant in Chicago- Why was this? Simply because they could buy hogs cheaper in the United states than they could in Canada while the Canadian duty of two cents a pound is no barrier to their shipping their

_',"hog products to Canada.

The United States packers have a good home market for the better grades of‘ meat and can dump their surplus in Canada. This applies particularly to the cheaper grades such as heavy mess pork. This cheap pork enters into competition with our Can- adian pork with the natural and inevitable result that our prices must come down to meet the com- petition. In 1919 about five million dollars worth of American pork products was imported into Canada. Much of this inferior product is purchased in the Chicago market at a low price, shipped into Canada loose in refrigerator cars, placed in packages and disposed of by the packers under‘ their own brands as a Canadian product thus not only depreciating the value but the reputation of our meats.

What applies to pork and pork products applies with almost equal force to all other meats which come into competition with ours- Why not demand protection for our farmers in these matters, mat- ters which mean very much more to them than the duty on certain agricultural implements most of which are purchased once in a life time? Free agri- cultural implements has become an overworked slog an.

THE (irf)\'l'lll.\'llli.\"l‘ TAKES FRIGIIT.

The government has been greatly upset by the effective criticisms of their ill devised Agricultural High School schemes and has been driven from pill- ar to post to find something that will appeal to the farmers and give it a decent excuse for inaugurating its white elephant at the site of the Rena McLean Memorial Hospital. The Government at the Guard- ianls suggestion has abandoned the absurd idea of boarding the pupils at four dollars a week, has also abandoned the existing heating arrangements which the Guardian pointed out would be excessive, and on its own volition resorted to stove heating, a system as completely out of date as the ideas of the government in administering the affairs of the province. Just imagine at this late date, with all the modern appliances for heating at its command, in- curring additional expense to gratify some party supporter no doubt, by introducing old time stoves, such a mode of heating as up to date farmers are re- placing by modern systems. Yet this is the govern- ment that intends to launch the province in unnam- ed expense to instruct the young idea in modern met hods of agriculture.

The simple and effective scheme submitted by the Guardian as suitable for the elementary-agri- cultural needs o_f' the rising generation is so inex- pensive and easily carried out that both Principal Crockett and the Patriot, the government organ, are cliagrined that it should be even put on record.

They don’t want the farmers to have their boys train S,

ed in. the rudiments of agriculture within easy ac-

cess of their own homes; they want to bring agricul 1'

tural students, boys of tender years, to the city far away from_the farms where their attention will nat- urally be distracted by the activities, social and oth- erwise, _of city life with the result that instead of having instilleda love of the farm and country life they are more likely ‘to be weaned away and encour aged to seek occupation and fortune in other walks of life. This _to us does not appear to be a very high ideal but it is what was to be expected from a gov- ernment ‘vsfhosgmembers first callously increased their own salaries before collecting "the necessary revenue with which to run the province.

There is u class of people who ever glory in their shame. Never content unless wallowing in some cesspool of corruption. and al- ways wllh eagle eyes opened for of scandal which may be found on the wayside. The Patriot and the Recorder are twin brothers in this beastly and ghoul-like quest. One, wanting u sufficiency either of brains or wickedness, we know noi which. to concoct. is u failure at origina- tion, hiit an expert as u second fiddle in reproduction and dis- tribuation. So-that the Recorder plants, the Patriot waters and the devil provides the increase. Last Monday the "Patriot dumped this piece of nonsense upon its read- ersp-"The Dominion of Cumr do in all history has never had u Government against which so many charges can be made, as can he made against the present cock. There never has been, and Administration. Such “poppy- never will be, in Canada or any oiher country, n Government oiiuiiza THAN A LIBERAL oNiE. against which the Patriot and its inspiration the Recorder, can no: make just as many charges as they do against the present rul- ers. Their only limit. will be in their inventive genius, and the extent of foul adjectives in the English tongue to give voice to their slanders.

Making charges ls the easiest of tasks. -They are especially easy when made cuttlefisb fash- ion under n self and Dre-created cloud. This class of charges is ihe liberals stock in trade ln olden times they had something resembling a policy to talk about. but their varied forms of poli- cy have been all reveren-tly con- signed to the iomb, so that now their only occupation is rooting in political mire. And like the bog they create their own muck heaps in which lo root. 1t, or they, say of the government that it was “conceived in sin and born in iniquity." Now any fool conld copy that statement just as easily as the Patriot and Record- er." The hot question for them to consider is, can any fool make good that statement? They have frequenlly lried, showing con- clusively that there are some fools at least which cannot. 0f‘ course words cannot resist their use by any one and for any pur- pose, and can be made to mean ioiiiellilng or nothing. in 1119 latter scnsc they are Liberal favourite-s. feature is Ilia-t amongst those who read these papers there are clean and intelligent people who are compelled to witness this re- volting prostitution of the Kings English lo such indecency and impropriety.
