NOT MEN THE WESTERN QUESTION Tlie ('auailiin (irain Cmweri' (iiiiJt: of \VinniiKt; i.s haul) poinlinKout the v.tu*l disadvantage* under which the West IH laboring, mul in lengthy article attacks the Toronto XewH i.n it* argument HgtiiiKt reciprocity or a lower tariff. Tin- News ci take caic of itself, but theie in one |)hi- of this question thai is loo often overlooked. The West is largely made ui> of the Hast. We have sent out our farmer-, our avtizans, our ichcol teachers and professional men lo inhahit and brins undur subjection our western plain*. These people have none out with their eye.s open as to th shortcom- ings and druwbicks of a new country, t:d the hatdfrbipti ihey will have t. undent'- 1 . lu palling with them the East Ims ,-I!MI suffered and it "till .suffering. Salaries have advanced and teachrrs for th |>nst in* year-- li i>e been scrce at any reis- ontble salaiy owing t<> the western drain upon our educational institutions. Our mechanic* and f*n Uborcis have also been at ti acted westward to such mi ex- tut that tilling of our lani IMS become a problom, aud manufacturers have been obliqed to raise wages and prices of their wares. The people of the West now want pricew of machineiy lowered and they nlo want railway ami letagnpfa ifttei lowered. li st-eins to in that tbo West is iiie- wlur. unreasonable in its demand*. Our lailwnyn take thousands of harvest hands west at a nominal fure to help out the cram growers, and in many way* fin.. is hive taen liuwn. I'ntil a new coumry beoomes thickly populated railway rales mid telegraph rites must ralijjo higher ili in in more thiiUy uopulated duliicls, or uch facilities cannot exist. Summing up in abort, wo my siy tht both Kal and West bave cm in n bmi'ens to bear that the development of such an immense district imposes, ana w, lu>u!il grin and bear them until uV\-l"| ment iscuiupletf, when IhinnH will adjust then .-Ken. or at least the time will have armed when such .-.ludjuMini'iil can be made without injus- tice to the iiiaiiuf.icliuer, the arli/.an or fanner.
