The Dominion Government Has Decided.

sel Vative administration, Parliament will eo to the : nsti tutional Jimit

The Lit eral obj yecti ontoa ‘ck see®sion is based on the as-umpt on that it is ar “extra seasion”™ and will entail an unn ces sary expenditure. In this they are entire ly wrong The onstitution very properly Parliament every

requires @ Ses

uary 2nd will be the or dinary session for 1896. All the usual business of the country will be transacted ani perhaps a little more. The cry, therefore, against an extra session is fully; for there is to be none. The rea} reason the Liberals object to another cin is because it will give the government another opportunity of lemoustré ing tothe people of Canada, and particu] ar ly the farmers, its earnest

desire for their welfare

“The pe ple of th left severe y alone,” ist Mullen, the Liberal member fur Nertl Wellington, expresses the idea that ani mates his party It is a pretty accurate summary of the attitude the Libera!« have always assumed. “We are but flies on the wheel,” said Sir Richard Cartwright during the fearful depression his party brought or Canada; and Mr. Mills declared that the Liberal Government conld to nothing to help the country N ot so the Con-erva- tives. They have always faced the d ffi culties and overcome the.u manfully. Ti policy of inaction has been tried and found to be a failure; the policy of action ha- | wrought wonders. [t is altogether |. kely that during the coming session further evi- dense will be given of the fact that the administration does not intend, as Mr. Me Mullen declares it shoul i, $ the interests of the people.

There will be a great Liberal out cry against the next step that is to be tuken. ma nly, no doubt, because it isin the in- terest of the farmer. Bitterly as the Op position oppozed the assistance that the government has given the dairy Say thai

lesire to be

interest, it 18 safe to when the administration makes known to Parliament its plas to help another branch of agriculture, the dressed meat trade.

there will be even greater cpposition and Mr. McMul'en will deciare, unti! ‘ong after milnight that the people should be “eft severely alone.”

The opposite policy has lately re- ceived a remarkable vindication. The Liberals have been declaring that the assistance to the dairy trade is a tax on al! other sections of the community for the enefit of the farmers, and therefore ob- jectiouable. They have di rected their at- (' tacks mainly against the Government for wwe 1s being done in Prince Edward Is-

land, forgetting that practically the same thing has been done for Ontario and Que bee. The charge was that the Govern ment had built chee-e factories and was ranting shee at the pubiic expense to the

reat burden of the taxpayer and the detri- ment of the cheese industry in other parts of Canada. But the fact wasthat the peo- ple had built the factories and the Govern ment had merely sent them instructors to teach them the scientific way of making cheese. Another ‘ misrepresentation was that a bonus was being paid the farmers; but this was equally untrue. The Dairy Co: nmission er had been empowered to handle the product of the factories so as to place it on the market to the best ad vantage. A sum of money was voted by Parliament in order that he might be able to advance the money to pay :he farmers for their milk and holdthe product until - market was favorable. It was declar-

thatthe result of this arrangement would be a great loss to the ec untry, But the fact is that the past season’s oper- ations have not cost the public one cent. The chee-e factories are now absolute! y

| self-sustaining; and, having established ti e¢

industry, the Gorerament can withdraw from it and seek, as it will, in other way- to helpthe farmer. Itis worth the while of patriotic Canadians to note we!l the ef- fect of the policy of activity in the simall- est, though not the ane important, pros ince of the Dominion. Jn 1891 there

was only one cheese fac tory in Prince mend Island, with an output valued at $7,000;

n 1893 the island produce) in 5 oll se $48,- 600, and in 1894 it yielded $90,000. There are to-day on the island 28 cheese fac tories, which have this summer produced cheese

orth $169,000 and by the end of the year will have added $35,000 to thie. Under the policy of leaving. the people severely alone, Prince Edward ‘Taland would still have

LETTERS TO THE RDITOR. |

PORK PACKING,

Sir, S20. we Tne Examiner under the caption “Have we farms for yourg people” makes suggestions Concerning the pork packivg industry, the wisdom of which the pres ent low prices ior that product monstate, and which I trust ually prove to be seed ground.

A few years ago, in order t an in- dustry of this kind there would be con- siderable prejudice would | be nece: siry to convince the farmer of the baneful eff-cte which nvust result from selling the products cf the farm: in heir raw state. This is no longer the case, the press, the platform and the great teacher experience have long since taught him the folly of this system, and that his surplus | crop should bea factor in fertility as well asa means of income. Yet, nowithstanding | this, and cuntrary to their best judgment, many thonghtfal farmers are compelled | to resort to this pernicious system in order to meet their bills in the fall. It is true, dairying is toa considerable extent help ing us to dispense with the-old wastetul way. But likeall indu-tries of which the by-products are not economically‘and profit: | ably used it can lered a com plete success, and so long as we are de-| pending on the provincial markets vutlet for our pork this is 1] nary. to con- tinue, or at least so frequent) y oceur as to! keep this business in a crippl led condition. There is po branch of farming for whieh tle farmer is su well prepared and to ew aich
