AN INTERESTING LETTER,
i
Sin,—The very excellent letter of Prof. ! Shaw, in your issue of the 6th inst., and! which | have read with much interest, affords me an excuse for addressing the farmers of my native Island. Naturally I feel diffident in touching upon agricultural matters, but as I propose to deal with values and quantities rather than with; kinds and qualities, I take the liberty of making a few statements regarding the markets for Canadian produce, and which may be treated as a supplement to Prof, Shaw’s letter.
So great is the tuss just now over the! McKinley Bill, that one might conclude it had cut off from Canadians the only market they have for their agricultural and animal products. How far this is the case may be judged from the following figures taken from official returns :—
Of these articles of home produce, viz ,
Canada in 1889 exported $11,946,151 worth, of which $9,480,580 worth went to Great 3ritain, $2,253,680 worth to the United States, and the remainder to other coun- tries. But someone may say: ‘' 1889 was a exception to the rule.” Let us take, then, the period of 16 years comprised be- tween 1874 and 1889, both years inclusive. During this period Canada exported of the articles above enumerated to the value of $162,761,652. Of this amount, $131,694, - 812 worth went to Great Britain; $26,- 538,593 worth to the United States; $3,- 778,810 worth to Newfoundland, and the remainder to other countries, The British market has been worth four times the American.
Of cattle and sheep in 1889, Canada ex- ported to Great Britain $5,295,170 werth, and to the United States $1,406,600 worth. Daring the 16 years from 1874 to 1889, Canada sold to Great Britain $49,602,498 worth, and to the United States $20,782,- 430 worth, very nearly in the proportion of 5 to 2.
There is no room for comparison in the export of horses. In the 22 years ended 30th June, 1889, there were 299,914 horses exported from Canada, of which 289,361 went to the United States, 5,353 to Great Britain and 5,200 to other couutries.
In the foregoing articles of agricultural and animal produce, horses excepted, dur- ing those 16 years, Canada sold to Great Britain to the extent of $181,297,310, and to the United States $47,321,023—an aver- age annual excess in the British market of $8,373,518.
It is asserted that Canada is mainly an agricultural country, and that its natural market is the United States. lam not going to argue the point. But I ask this question: If Canada is so largely an agri- cultural country, where is the necessity for our importing agricultural products so ex- tensively from the United States? In 1889, Canada sold to the Onited States $10,990, - 069 worth of certain agricultnral and ani- mal products, and in the same year import- ed from the United States $5,635,146 worth ‘of the self-same articles! This may be an exchange of commodities, but I doubt if there is much money in it for Canada. An examination of the following figures ought, 1 submit, to prove extremely unsatisfactory to our farmers. 1 leave them to draw their own conclusions and make their own romarks :—
| Value of certain articles imported for home
| consumption from the United States, and of similar aaticles exported thereto in the year 1889 :

Be it remembered that the foregoing im- portations were for consumption in Can- ada, and not for re-shipment to other mar- kets. Talk about the American market ! What does it amount when we buy back more than one half of the very goods we sell? A Canadian market of five millions where the Americaus sell 35,000,000 worth is better than an American market of sixty

millions where the Canadians sell $11,000, - 000 worth. The idea of Canada paying nearly $2,000,000 for bacon, ham, etc., $200,000 for beef and mutton, $70,000 for butter, $15,000 for cats, $1,600,000 for corn and cornmeal, and nearly $1,000,000 for flour ! But I promised to let the farmers make their own remarks,
The United States raise the same agricul- tural and animal products as Canada, and dispose of them also to Great Britain, but in vastly larger quantities. I submit the following statement of imports into the
Old Irish Whisky—Jamieson and | United Kingdom for the year 1888 :
From From Articles. Canada. U. States. Cattle and Sheep, No. 106,316 144,698 | Pork, Bacon, Hams,
and Lard, tons .... 11,060 196,369 Beef, Mutton, Tallow,
& other Meats, tons 4,667 88,642 Butter, 2008? 45348. 521 1,323 Cheese, tons ..... lee’ 37,427 45,490 Regt, G08 oc00 icone 1,710 Wheat, bush ...... ++ 2,033,963 27,334,668
But the British demand is so great that
{American and Canadian exports combined
fall very far short of supplying it. The British market in 1888 bought 1,082,284 more cattle and sheep than were sent from the United States and Canada; 70,813 tons more pork, bacon, hams and lard; 109,315 tons more beef, mutton, tallow, &c; 91,756 tons more butter; 24,469 tons more cheese; 93,897,680 dozens more eggs; 77,519,247 bushels more wheat; 49,590,170 bushels more barley: 61,748,555 bushels more oats; 1,997,378 barrels more flour, and 1,271,839 bushels more apples. The British market also purchased 4,449,772 bushels of po- tatoes, 3,484,990 bushels of onions, 20,- 268,320 bushels of flax seed, and 89,263 tons of dressed and undressed flax-seed, but none of these articles were supplied by either the United States or Canada.
There is no doubt that if Canada paid more attention to the raising and curing of pork and making of butter, the market for these articles would be largely increased. The exports of bacon, hams, pork and lard
»|have steadily decreased from 33,500,000
pounds in 1874 to 4,500,000 pounds in 1889. Asa result of enquiries made by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, it has been ascertained that attention to the best modes of feeding and to breeding the right kind of swine, are apparently all that are required to enable Canadian far- mers to supply the demand of packers for both the home and English markets. The export of butter has decreased from 184 million pounds in 1880 to 1? million pounds in 1889, and this is attributed almost entirely to carelessness in producing an article of sufficiently high quality to suit the English market. The total quantity of butter imported into Great Britain in 1888 was 187,200,496 pounds, and of this quantity Canada sent only 1,042,384 pounds. The Australasian Colonies —particularly New Zealand—are turaing attention to shipping butter and cheese to England, and are meeting with considerable success. Surely, if these colonies can make this trade remunerative, much more 80 could Canada, when the gainj in distance, and in consequent freight charges, is con- sidered. Denmark is a striking example of what can be accomplished by diligent at- tention to the best modes of farming. A few years ago Danish butter and bacon were almost unsaleable on the English mar- ket—now Danish butter fetches the highest price in London, and Danish bacon is rapidly superseding that from Ireland, Can- ada and the United States. With a us lation of only 2,108,000 —less than half that of Canada—Denmark exported to Great Britain in 1888 over $18,000,000 worth of butter.
My object in writing this letter has been, as I said at its commencement, to state some facts regarding the markets for Cana- dian produce, so that your readers may be the better able to decide upon the probable effects of the McKinley Bill. Figures are dry reading, and I scarcely dare hope that { have arranged them in asintellible a form as they might have been put in, but to any- one interested in the progress of his coun- try, I think they will repay an hour's study. I have not obtruded my own opinions, but merely submit the results of some investi- gations of the Blue Books for the informa- tion of my friends on the Island. I fully realize the inconvenience and loss occasion- ed by the search for new markets, and that various circumstances may operate to ren- der an apparently good market impossible or unprofitable. I think I have shown, however, that for most of our agricultural and animal products the American market is neither so large nor so profitable as is generally considered, while there exists a demand in Great Britain for articles of food which Canada stops far short of satis- fying.
