(The Empire. ) Free trade with the United States means the free competition of cheaper farm pro- ducts from the other side with those grown or raised by the Canadian farmer. The , market of ‘‘sixty millions” is already over- | stocked to an immense extent with all the | various productions which our agricultur- | ists desire to export. Almost without ex- }ception the market fer both countries is | Great Britain, shd should the dyke be tak- en down which now guards our farmer from American competition the injurieus | effect wonld be instantaneous and perman- lent. The following table of imports from ‘the United States under protection and the amounts of similar product? which the Re- publie exports abroad will be of interest : _ 1890. Can. Imp. U. 8. Imp.

The following quo- ‘tation of prices over a term of years is itaken from tha commercial columns of the ‘Globe on the firat Thuraday in February ot each year : LIVE HOGS. Chicago. Toronto.

We maintain that he is not depend- ent upon the United States, that he is better off than the average American culti- vator of the soil, thit his best outside mar- ket is Great Britain, which free trade with the States would seriously affect by a re- striction of impo:ts and a consequent reduc- tion of exports, that such a policy would send our products over American instead of Canadian radways and mike our farmers jbond slaves of the Americau trusts and 'eombines. Can such an iadictment against Canada be brought by ths most bigoted Grit or unprincipled annexationist as that laid to the discredit of the United States by one of the best end brightest of its papers —the New York Times :— ‘* The farms in our Siate are mortgaged for over $700,000,000. - ° The farm- ers of the United States are staggering under a burden of mortgage indebtedness approximating nine thousand millions of dollars. The greater portion of the money represented by the faces of these mortgages 'has not been expended i1 improving the farms, beciuse the lirger proportion were supplied with buildings b-fore the mort- geges were lad Th? m ney has beon spont to enable the farmers to live.” Compare such a condition of affsirs with the $80.000,000 worth of farm mortgages in the Dominion, and with the indications of prosperity given in the following table from the latest Ontario Bureau of Industry report :— 1832. 1889 Farm lands....... $632,342,500 $632,329,433 Buildings........ 132,711,575 192,414 237 Implements...... 37,029,815 51,635,7'°6 Live stock....... 80,540,720 105,731,288 RRs te nie sen $882,624,610 $982,210,664 An increase in wealth to the farmers of Ontario in ten years of $100,000,000 Surely the contrast is sufficient. And, with all this prosperity, we have encoun- tered successfully the natural drain of population, money and energy to our great North-west. But it is also said that Unre- stricted Reciprocity wou'd give our far- mers a better market. It would certainly aad inevitably destroy the home market which they now possess, though perhaps the Republic would kindly give us permis- sion to compete in a “sixty million mar. ket,” which now sends away $400,000,000 of agricultural produce every year. Why It is well known that wheat: consideration of our farmers’ position to the relative condition of prices in live hogs, and we may very profitably conclnde with a giance at our cattle trade. It will be remem bered that Great Britain grante us a distinct discrimination in favor of our cattle over American by giving us permission to land them alive as being free from suspicion of diseas*, Under free trade with the States our exports would be merged in one com- mon mass, and we wonid, of course lose a privilege which has largely aided in raising the value of our cattle export from $951,269 in 1874 to 36,949,417 in 1890. Then glance at what protection has done for the farmer in one other direction. We have pointed out the possibili!ies of competition were Unrestricted Reciprocity really established, now look at the following table of what the N. P., hag enabled the farmer to grow at home in place of seeing it purchased in the States ; IMPORTS FOR HOME CONSUMPTION. '878. 1890. Bush.

With all these facts and figures, and myriads more which might be adduced, the Canadian farmer is thoroughly justifid i» refusing to accept this proposed poliy of unrestricted competition and unlimited direct taxation. ~« mew + --—---—-—— LETTERS TO THE EDITOR —_—_-—_————__- The Parish of Crapaud.
