To the Farmers of Canada:

Gentlemen,—The policy of Protec- tion to native industries, which is an important part of the National Policy inaugurated by the Conservative party | 1n 1879, was intended to foster manu- | facturing industries and give aid to the | agricultural interests by such a read- justment of the tariff as would pro-

: tect them against injurious and unfair

competition, by foreigners, in the home market.

But the Liberal-Conservative party never considered that its work was done when the home market had been securelj forthe Canadian manufactur- er and agriculturist. This was only a beginginz, a mere earnest of the great far-roaching Industrial Policy which it is the mission of the party to carry out. W ile it is true that to make the Do- minion industrially independent and great it must become a manufacturing as well as an agricultural ceuntry, yet agriculture is and must continue to be our most important industry; the main- stay of the country, upen whose wel- fare and prosperity all are dependent. Realizing this, the Conservative party bas continuously sought, by legislation and otherwise, to foster the interests of the agricultural classes. It was the Conservative party and a Conser- vative Minister. of Agriculture that com- menced the first agricultural college and model farm, and it was the Con- servative Government that first estab- lished experimental farms and conduct- ed experiments in seed testing for the benefit of Canadian farmers. By the appointment of Dairy Commissioners andin other ways, they endeavored, with gratifying success, to promote the dairying interests of the Dominion, encouraging cheese factories and es- tablishing and managing creameries and marketing their preducts.

An example of how our farmers may

judicious governmental assistance is afforded by the history of the Cana- dian pork industry. By applying the protective tarrift the home market was secured to our farmers te such an ex- tent that, whereas in 1890 thirty-three million pounds of bacon were import—

brought in in 1896, thus preserving the farmers a home market of twenty-five million pounds. At the same time, our exports uf these meats had risen from eight million te thirty-five miilion pounds. That is, by the effect of the policy of the Conservative party, which was vehemently opposed by the Liber- al politicians, the Canadian farmers had been given an additional yearly market for their hog products of seveaty-two million pounds. En- couraged by the success which had at- tended their efforts in this direction, the Conservative Govern- ment proposed in 1896 to open up depsts in the principal cities in Great Britain and Ireland, to advertise Can- adian farm produce there and spend money in an effort to secure for our farmers that best of markets. Unfor- tunately, the Liberal leaders were able, by a resort to obstruction, to prevent the money placed in the estimates for this purpose being voted, and succed- ed in defeating the plan. Needless to say, they have made no effort along ‘the same or similiar lines themselves. Realizing that im order to secure to our farmers the advantage of the al-

came into power and rejected the con- tract, and the whole project was drop- ped. The published reports of the Department of Agriculture show that it new requires on an average twenty days to place these perishable pre- ducts onthe British markets, instead ot six or seven days, as the Conserva tive Government had arranged for. In other words, our farmers are con-— demned to stand the risk ef less in- volved in an extratwo weeks’ ocean voyage because of the bungling of an impractical goverament; a risk which has often meant to them the difference between a handsome profit and a total loss. Instead of carrying forward the Consérvative policy in other directions with heartiness and vigor, the present Minister of Agriculture in , 1899 reduced the appropriation for ome storage service by fifteen theus- ‘and dollars, notwithstanding the | remonstrance of the Conservative Op. position; being underthe belief, as evidenced by his remarks on the occasion, that the work had been ‘finished, ana that he had already es- | tablished a complete and efficient cold storage systera. parently succeeded in pe.suading him- self that his system was identical with the one by which Australian and Cali- fornian produce is carried to the Eurcpean markets, and yet the infor- mation given to him by his owr offi_ials and the facts in connection with the trade. waich are open to every one, ought to have informed him that whereas Austialian and Californian produce is placed on the European markets in prime condition and with hardly a fraction of loss, the loss sus- tained by Canadian shippers has been enormous and most discouraging.

The truth is thit instead of having adopted or imitated the systems and appliances in use in the Australian trade, as the Minister either believes or affects to believe, we have adopted partially obsolete systems in most of the vessels, and there has been an inexcusable neglect of proper in- spection and supervision over the fittings of those that are partially up to date. This want of supervision and inspection has resulted in variations

of from feur to ten degrees and the consequent deterioration and destruc- tion of great quantities of fruit and produce. Se far as the evidence which
