That lsmuch chcaiper than 90 per cent of the farmers did in this country.

The Department of Agriculture ﬁave out some time ago that the average yield for the province would be 22 bushels per acre of “T1901. 440 bushels qr oats and 28 bushels of barley. Sara-ct. prices here to day are its follows: Wheat .34 . “.57 ‘Which gave the following re~ turns per ucrc: Wheat ..

The one that employs lu- bor, cannot. Tho writer has quit. Mr. Noble told your blr. McKin- non that the farmer should re- ceive $8 for his wheiit. Mr. Noble knows whereof he speaks, as lie knows the cost of ‘production. Few fannors do. v .

Some siulcd to the Commission that tho tariff was the cuuso of and reason for boys leaving the farms. What rot! The causes are Labor union wages rind Labor union hours-d! hour dayz Satur~ day hull‘ hoiidny- and Labor union I-Zdll. Every unit. is as ins! as tho salowcsi. iwlimi one joins a. union, one becomes at unlit of u. machine. One at mice loses ones individ- uality, and oftentimes nationality us well. As to work, nnc must conform to the gait, as slow as the slowest. 0m the fnrin it is work seven days a week and one. cannot get away from it, and long hours, 12 to 14, six days a wreck. The duty on a binder is $2.1. The life of u binder on the avcr~ age farm is 10 years. Therefore. the duly on a binder is $2.50 pt-r year and l IDTOSLIIIIO the duly costs the average tanner about $35 per year on his machines. ls that enough to keep o. farmer poor?

T1111 in itself outweighs tenfold‘ what little duty the farmer pays on his implements.

1 would like the Hon. Crarar or K111: or Wood" or the Council of Asrlwiture. to explain how they_ would finance the huge balance of trade that would be against the couniry by the United States of; Amﬁfklﬂ. that "lassociated power. if we had free trade or semi iree trade. As lt is there is a stream of 800d Canadian gold going to New York. This should not be. The but‘ ance of trade the United States! this year will not be less than $600,000,000; tho exchange will be not less than] 570000.000 equal in QR qwr h-"vd for every mun woman and child in Canada. Would u noi lli‘ thu- oughly (Iunadlun and in fCanadivs interests i0 put up a protective wall to keep iho trade between the two countries on a 50-50 ba~ sis’! Canada. has no invisible exports such as Britain to make up for any bulnnco of trade against her. dVouid it not be bet- ter to keep these millions at home and in doing so build up larger ci» ties and more cllties, thereby cre- ating a greater market for the farmer's produce, with enhanced values.

ls this $35 per year eliminated it the duty ls taken of! farm ma- chinery, going to ameliorate farm conditions? The farmer loses that much on two acres of oats or bar- ley this year. This iupenny $35 about which certain agitators who arc absolutely uavCanudiuu mukc so much ado, is so absurd and small it is hurdiy worth mention-

g. A friend of mlna who ls in a position to know informs me that 90 pm- cent oi‘ the farmers in Ai- bertu who form over half it sec- tion go broke. Why‘! The why is this A hull section 0r loss can be farmed by the farmer, his wife and children l have seen wo- men stooklug grain and girls as young as thirteen doing the sumo i huve scen boys and girls not yet in iiioli" icons hauling grnin to town when they should be at school. Tho farmer is the only class that 1111s to work his wifo and children in order to exist. This should not be. The reason is that he has to compote in the op- en unarkets of the world against the cheap semhpeon labor of in- dia and Argentina. ~When "one farms more than half a. section of land and has not the children to slave for him, it then ‘becomes u business proposition. One then has. i0 employ labor who now seem tn hate and (lespise the one that gives them ubric), and under the present conditions that ls lnrl

Li- verpool at $17 per ton. Protection gave them the home market. und enabled them to compete in the upon markets of the world with their surplus, thereby enabling them to pny wages suitable for living purposes in North America ziiid giving a reasonable return on investment. The ‘farmers of North America require n. protective duty on their grain and products and with their surplus compete in the ‘open markets of the world. The protection should be 11110111111 10 ‘give them, based on the average 't'.l‘Op, a net profit over the cost, of production oi’ not less than 35 per’ cent.
