ISIR JOHN AND THE FARMER. What has Sir John and the Couservative Government done for the farmers? They h ave tax~ d them to build railways, I to build c ~n als-like t.he Treut Valley one, which runs from somewhe re to nowhere-to build grand Custom House offices and p ostoflice b uild ings in the cities ; to aid a Tory railway family compact-to get. rid of jll8t such a gang your forefathers r ebelled in 1837-to aid Tory newspape1 s to throw sweet-scented snuff in yom eyes; t o give J'no. White, ToryM. P., for east Hastings, a chance to get $33,000 worth of N orth west lands for his vote and iufluf·nce ; to pay the interest on $300,000,000; to keep Tupperin a golden honse in L ondon :'fo fnrnish him with jinglinrr glasses 'ro fill him·elr and ali the o·her- blue-bloods Wit.It rum and gin from ont of the bin, th~L holds-molasses. And now the desire of the "Grand Old :Man " is to make your debt <l.n even $400,000,000 before he departs from this weary, wicked world. If he should succeed, there is no doubt but that he will be able to look down upon you, and we think your creditors will also look down upon you- when necessity compels you to repudiate the debt. \Vhat has the R eform Government done for you 1 It has drained your lands ; it has established an Agricultural School and farm, by which means it has shown BoWl'HNYILLE, FEBIWARY 2, 1887. you how you can pasture three cattle on ~-~========== the land formerly required for one ; how POLITICAL MEETINGS. a cow of a certain breed will give as much mil k 11s three of your scmbs formerly Mr. William Paterson, of Brantford, gave ; how a two -year old steer can be eitJ.\i.
