Sr--de---- THE UNITED FARMERS. Perhaps at no time in the history of Canada has there been & more {n- telligent appreciation of ! | problems than at the present tims, and no where is this more true than among the great farming population of the country. They are the pro- ducers of the bulk of the nation's wealth, and while a¢ individuals they were unable to unravel the Intrica- cles of trade that effected them in- directly, they have, $hrough co-opera- tion, been able to arrive at preity accurate conclusions reapectihg the needs .of agriculture and the- obeta~ clea to reducing the cost of produc. tion. During the past thousands of farmers received ten tific instruction and their ranks, par! 'tieularly in western Canada, include many of the cleverest men "in the land. They have formed many very Iarge successful business organiza- tions, and. are rapidly 'becoming a powerful political factor." They have | but one definite aim in politics and that is to promote the welfare of ag- they are united on a business bas that is likely to outlive either defeat or 'success at «i election. The farm- er is not unpatriotic or unmindtul of the interests of others. He knows that there muet bé a revenue to carry on the administration of the country. He is willing tha} the gov- ernment should have $500,000,000 profits to Cahadian manufacturers. He has a right to know how much of the protéction he pays goes to the government and how much goes to the manufacturers. Up to the plesent "tiie he has bean unable to determite who gets the money. St Byt this question does not concern the farmer alope, for as the cost of doneumers in our cites end towns to bear. a share of the burden in Thereased cost of the of nec essities, which makes their interests The con- sumer might be said to ally concerned, for w 'production pas is a satisfaction lo) diseases generally 4 economia twenty years| rieulture, but unlike the Patrons of | .
