WIIEN YOU WAKT Ai1 TMrC TO FARMERS! A OSwatd BOWMANVILLE, OCT'R 19, 1892. OUTLIOOK FOR FARMERS. Farmers are complaining in loud ac- cents again this year and not without good cause. In this district, as far as we eau ascertain fromi conversing with a f ew farmers, with whom we have ' met since our return fromn England, the yield of al kinds of grain is terribly disappointing. We hear of spring wheat yields of 5, 7 and 10 bushels per acre on some of the best farins in Darlington; barley 15 to 25 bushels; peas about the saine and oats a light crop. Thon compare the prevail- ing prices for these cereals and who will zay that farmers have no cause of coin- plaint? "But our Conservative readers may ase, At whaà must they complain î At tUe National Polîcy, certainly. Why? Bocause it has roduced the price of barley 15 cents per bushel. EIow 1 In this way. The McKinley Bill was ppssed as, a tit- for-tat to the N. P., and thc Conserva- tive Govrninent introduced the N. P. to benefit the manufacturera whio f urnished Utie meney for their election carpaigns. This is the position in a few w ords., But lias flot the introdjuction cf machinery helpod the farmers ? Yes, they have been largely benefitted by the applicatior of machinery, and cani secure thieir crops ait less expense than former].y. If then the contention of the manufacturers was a just ene, the fariner producin)g more and at less expense, and obtaiing ail his necessities at lower rates, shouid bo really Jtter off than ever; but cvery one kilows tliat that is not the case.
