THE DAILY EXAMINER CHARLOIEKTOWN OCTOBER, 1i 1900 THE DAL OCTUBER 11, i900 FARMERS HAVE BEEN FLEECEKD OUR Ml & 4 he prices of binder \\ creased in recent years. Some p«rsons that this is due Ld in the Philippines, is good reavon for believing that j toril okeriag, re lting in the closing of idiau twine tacories, had much more io with it,an! 'at opr farmers have tleeced in this ¢ gard by an unscrup? ‘ous combine encouraged by the Tarte» Laurier aggregation. (Juantities of twine are made in the penitentiary at Kingston, The Liberal- Conservative government intended, when they established this industry for the prisovere, that our farmers should re- ceive the benefit of cheaper bindertwine — the stock produced in the penitentiary go~ ing to increase the supply and so moder- ate prices. Let ussee how the business has been managed by the “Business is Business” administration. Immediately after the election of 1896 —after settling comfortably iato their new offices—the New Liberals looked around t> see how they could reward those of their more influential supporters who had “bled” forthem, They found 500 tons of binder twine in store at the penitentiary. This they sold, without tender, to Coll Brothers, of St. John. For a. considera- tion Coll Brothers transferred the whole lotto the Hobbs Hardware Company, of London. The prices paid the penitenti- ary for the twine were 42-3, 43 and 5} cents per pound, according to quality; and it was sold to the farmers, at harvest time, at from 12 to 15 cents per pound—the inordinate profits going into the pockets of a ring of dealers formed in the meantime with the connivance of the adminstration. Inthe following year, 1897, there was another lot of 500 tons ot binder twine to be disposed of by tne Government to the Hobbs Hardware Company, of London» for the benefit of the ring, the prices paid the penitentiary .being '$4.40, $4.75 and $5.25 per cwt ; the prices paid by the farmere being 12 to 15 cents per pound the profits being into the pockets of the ring. In the next year, the scandal was abroad, and greater care was taken by the Government,—the results however being the same. The Government in 1899, went through the form of issuing a circue lar letter asking for offers forthe twine,but took carethat the circu/ar should be re~ ceived in time only ky the firms which werein the riog. Forthe sake of variety, the twine was this year sold to Messrs H- N. Bates & Sons, of Ottawa, the prices being $4.50 and $4.95 percwt, and the prices paid by the farmers that year were those with which they are familiar. For the twine manufactured at the peni tentiary between July 1898 aod July 1899 tenders were called—but the ring whick by this time controlled the market, “worked the tenders”-~a certain Martin P. Connolly being put upon behalf of the Hobbs Hardware Company at aa average price of 44;—cents and the farm~ ere had to pay for it an average pricce of 134 cents. It may be remarked thatthe Hobbs Hardware Company control the'twine out- put of the Central Prison in Toronto, the ring and the Government conducted the business in respect tothe output of the Kingston Penetentiary,—and so the farmers were fleeced’ The stcck of twine made at the penitentiary, which ought to have bee. ueed to modify prices, was deliberately handed over toa ring, by which the farmers were bied ‘‘white ” in eo far as binder twine is concerned. Mr. Taylor, M. P. set forth fhe parti culars of the butiness in a speech which he delivered in the 'House ot Commons on the 8:h of Augast, 1829;—and those of our feaders who desire further ine | According to his figures the Government got an average price of 43 cents and the | ring @n average price of 135 cents—or . nine cents profit on every pound bought ‘from the Government and eold to the farmere. Mr. Tavior stated that $66,- went to the Government, ‘the Hobbs Manufacturing Company | made $163.667 clear profit, while $399,~ 541,42 clear profit went to the ring as a whole--all out of the pockets of our farmers ! We need not say that this profit ought not to have been made, and that the Goy- jeroment hadin its hands the power to |preventit. By holding the twine mede }at the penitentiary and disposing of it for the benefit of the farmers it could kave kept the prices down to moderate and reasonable figures, 1583 27 I at / wards paying Pino to vote Grit. { waov severe casee of Chronic Catarrh | LY.
