“A Farmer's Son” Answered by “A True Liberal.”

Srr,—In yesterday's Patriot, ‘*A Far- mer’s Son” makes a great fuss in re Free Trade, and who |oses the 15 cents duty on potatoes‘ As tothe latter, everyone knows who is out by reason of such speci- fie -<duty on potat The same applies to horses also. But what does this prove! If it proves anything, it proves that other countries and other people, tov, are ex port- ing goods and pruducts into Canada at a loss to the producer and gain to our re- venue! This matter works both ways and effects all alike. As tu free trade, I would refer **A Farmer's Son” and all others seeking the truth to read carefully the well considered words of the Hon. Edward Blake, spoken ata mass meeting of the Liberal Party at Quebec on the Ist Febru- ary, inst. ‘They are as follows :

**He (Mr. Blake) had repeated that Free Trade was not practicable in Canada, and gave his reasons. He had reaffirmed his statement that there was no possibility of a change in a system of taxation, the necessary effect of which was to give large and ample advantages to the Canadian manufacturer or his competitor abroad, and it was clearer than ever that avery high scale of taxation must be retained, and consequently manufacturers had nothing to fear.”’

In the above honest words of Mr. Blake, spoken advisedly during the present cam- paign, ** 4 Farmer’s Sun,” a farmer him- self, and all others must know that the Free Trade plank has been shattered by the great Liberal leader. That question being settled, it behoves the electors of this Pro- vince, on next Tuesday, to mark their bal- lots for the more progressive and best Party.
