THE LIBERALS FA&ALsE TO THEIR PRO- GRAMME.

Tue Patriot bas the temerity to chal- lenge Tug Examiner’s statement that,— false ta

maintained the

“The Liberal Government, their programme, have Conservative policy.”

Let ue, therefure, look into the matter

and see whether or not this statement is

true. The Liberal programme formulated at Ottawa contained the fullowing num- bers. Weqnote them line for line, and

werd for word:

“ We, the Liberal partv of Canada, in convention assembled, declar- :

“That the custome tariffs of the Dominion should be based, not as it is now, pon the protective prine'ple, hut upon the requirements of the public gervics.

“ That the existing tariff, fonnded upon av unsound principle, and used, as it has been by the government as a corrupting agency wherewith to keep themselves in office, has developed movopolies, trusts and combinations ;

“Tt has decreased the value of farm aad other landed property ;

“Tt has oppressed the masses to the enrichment of a few ;

“Tt has checked immigration.

“It has caused great loss of population;

“Lt has impeded commerce ;

“It has discriminated against Great Britain ;

“In these and many other wavs it has occasioned great public and private isjury, all of which evils muat ‘continue to grow io intensity as long as the present tariff syetem is continaed;

“That the highest interests of Canada de- mand a removal of this obstacle to our cvvntry’s progress, by the adoption of a sound fiseai policy, which, while not doing injustice to any class, will promote domestic and foreign trade, and hasten the return of prosperity to our people ;

«That to that end the sariff should be reduced to the needs of honest, economical and efficient government ;

“That it should be so adjusted as to make free, or to bear as lightly as possible upon the necessaries of life, and shonld be so arranged as to promote freer trade with

the whole world, more particularly with Great Britain and the United States.

which chey had

Again, we beg to refer The Patriot tu Mr. Bertram at present the Liberal candi- date and exponent in Centre Toronto. Everyone knows that there are but two principles according to tariffs are framed, viz., The Free Trade Principle and the Protective Principle. Now what did Mr. Bertram say in the course of a speech to the electors on nomination day ?

He said:

“The policy of the Liberal party is not free trade; free trade is out the question so far as this country is concerned, be- cause we cannot carry On business here on that priocipel .”

which

And again :

“The Liberal partty have had an oppor- tunity of placing on record their view of what the tariff of the country ought to be. If they were pledged to free trade they ought to bave placed a free trade tariff on the statute book. But they did not do it.”

That is as much as to say the Liberal party have adhered to Protection. In fact

Mr. Bertram is appealing to the electors of Toronto Centre as an out and out Pro- tectionist supporting Sir Wilfred Laurier!

WHEN TO HAVE HOGS READY FOR MARKET.

“ Farmine ” for November 23rd, just to hand, dealing with the demands of our bacon trade, refers to the present fall in the price of live hogs, and says :

‘The greatest demand for bacon is duricg the warm summer weather. The Danee have learned this fact and taken advantage of it. During the past summer Penmark sent tothe English market on an average about twenty-two thousand hogs a week, and during this last week she sent only twelve thousand. The Dane has adapted himeelf to the conditions of the trade, and breeds his pigs so that he can market them at the right time.

aecount of farm machinery— |

ed thousands of persons who have honestly supported it. and that the couotry, in the light of experience, is now prepared to declare for a sound fiscal policy.

The issue between the two political parties on this question is now clearly defined.

The government theinselves aumit the failure of their fiscal policy an now pro- fexa their willingness to make some changes; but they say that anch changes must be based only on the »orinciple of protection

We denounce the principles of protection as radically unsound and unjust to the masees of the people, and we declare our conviction that any tariff changes based on that priociple must tail to aftord any substantial relief from the burdens under which the country labors.

This issue we uohesitatingly accept and, upon it we await with the fullest confi- dence the verdict of the electors of Canada.

This ia the programme. Now, what has been done about it? Imported corn was made free of duty, and a certain amount of protection was thereby taken away from the farmers of Canada. A cent a gallon was also taken offthe duty on kerosene oil—though there has not been a corres

ponding reduction in the price paid for the oil! In point of factfthe price of oil i* considerably increased. Then, it must also be admitted that there was some tinkering with the iron and sugar duties, resulting in heavy losses to these trades, without any reduction whatever in the prices paid by the people. A portion of the protection afforded our local tobacconists was also removed, while the taxes on the poor man’s tobacco were so largely increased that the price liad to be raised acent per fig. With these exceptions, the tendency of the changes made has been towards higher protection rather than the fiscal policy for which the Liberal Party in convention at Ottawa,

‘“* In Canada, cn the contrary, the kill- ings during the summer ranged from five to twelve thousand a week, and during the fal! they ran up as high as twenty thousand a week. Is it any wonder that prices fel] ?

“The lesson for Canadian farmers is obvious. They must breed their pigs so that the beavy sales of hogs can be made during the summer months, when the demand is greatest and the price is also the best. From the nature of the market to be supplied there should also be a con- tinuous regular supply going forward every week.”

These facts and remarks are in full accord with the contention of Tue Examiner. We hope that our farmers will make a note of them. “A word to the wise is sufficient.”
