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 posslblo and spells illsaster. The writer recollecis quite W911 when. tho United Sixties steel rail mills were selling‘ rails in tho immc market at $28 per tun and selling the sumo rails f. o. b. 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.
