All they seem to care about is their own pockets. When protection was under discussion years ago Mr. John Eaggart said in Parliament (Hansard. 1878, p 706) on behalf of the manufact- urers: If you will only grant us ade- quate protection we will not only sell to you as cheaply as other countries can. but in course of time more cheaply." Yes after eighteen long years of tolorably adequate protection, we appear to be fur- ther away from that happy state of things than ever. If we were to wait eighteen more we should probably be still further away. As the immense home market in the United States increases with growth of popuiatou, the American manufacturer is sure by new inventions and processes to eheapen cost of produc- tion at a rate with which we in our limited market cannot keep stop. It is a dangerous thing to make this a dearer country to live in than the United States, but nobody seems to care. least of all the superloyal Tories. The New Quebec.

Mr. Laurier s victory in June was due to some extent. to a great ex- tent I may say, to the action of French- Canadian opinion in New England upon the mind of the race in Quebec. The interest taken in New England is shown by the column of New England news printed by papers like La Presse and Le Cultivateur; better still. by the large cir- culation which the Frenoh-Oanadisn pap- ers prlnted ever there have in Quebec. In the rural -post-olcee fully I50 per cent. of the letters are going to or com- ing from New England. Quebec touches the frontiers of New York.

But the farmer goes at it again sin e~banded and draws on his brain, muscle and money. He builds fences, digs wells, builds barns and silos seas to be able to produce the above named articles. In any case the strain hag been too great and it has left a considerable number at the mercy of the money-lenders. Then when things were getting in shape and Erospects were brigliter we got another low. Through the neizli ence of our high commissioner. sir Charles Tapper. in England. the breaking at Ottawa of im- perial agreements and catering to the in- teresta of railway companies, rather than tothose of the farmers. Canadian cattle were scheduled in the British market. con- sequently our local markets have been glutted with western beef which should have been consumed in England. So that to-day the price of a bullock lsttened and put on our market would not pay for seventy-ve per cent. of the food consumed tossy nothing about the labor and risk of putting him there. And all the time we have been paying a high protective tariff, not into the revenue of the country but into the cotfers of combines. Now it ills fact beyond doubt that our govern- ment cunnot protect our products. Eng- land is our market, and when our products are placed there they are exposed to the competition of the cheap labor of the world. and if we were to rise in our might and make as selsh a demand as the manufac- turers have done, we would have free trade with the world. In that case we would not have to sell any cheaper, and we would have a great saving in our purchases. But we would not be so selllsh as that. We want to deal as we would be dealt with. and what we would ask is a tarill" for revenue only. We do not object to doing a little nursery work. but when we have nursed and cradled the youngster until he has becomea burden, and every bre ol .ne system is severely taxed to sustain him, nature prompts us to make him tend alone. and when left in that !l- .ion it is ten to one if he don't walk. lzloow -iir, what Iwould propose to do in this county is this: bet the warden ask the -.ounty council to appoint delegates, the president oi the farmers institute call a meeting and appoint delegates. and the county president of the patrons of indus- try call a county convention and have them select delegates. Let there be a rustling of the my bones ol the tariH- ridden invalids.
