There is no class of workers in Canada who need protection more than the farm- ers and the laborers. Many of the former accepting the plausible theory that free agricultural imple- ments would be a- boon to farmers followed this will o’ the wisp until they discovered that any additional saving that could be effectd by the removal of the duty from agri'clil_tili'al implements was every year being overcome by the losses sustained by the clini- petition in their own home markets of American pro- ducts and now they are demanding an increase of duty on meats, eggs, butter, oats and other products which are being dumped into Canada because of the inadequate duty exacted on these articles. Labor also is recognizing that unless adequate protection is afforded Canadian industries there will be no employment for Canadian ,workmen The farmers and laborers of Canada are today our most ardent supporters of the National Policy and the strongest opponents and very properly so of tariff tinkering which would open our gates to American manufacturers and American farmers_ _ nnlrroniui. .\'o”*i‘Es_ A Prince Edward Island correspondent in the Farmers Guide suggests the reduction of our legis- lative Assembly tn fifteen members.
