In attempts to belittle the home market, the argument has been used over and over again that the prices obtainable in the export market always govern the prices obtainable in the domestic market. Statements of that kind constitute one of the meanest forms of dishonesty. It is probably true that, in the absence of an effective wheat pool, the Liverpool price pretty nearly fixes the domestic price of wheat. But the Liverpool price of hay, or of potatoes, is almost negligible in its effect upon the local prices obtainable for those commodities in Canada. And the reason for the difference is that wheat, besides being a commodity that can be stored indefinitely, has been provided with terminal facilities that enable it to be handled at a minimum of expense, and is carried at the lowest of all freight rates, whereas transportation costs on hay and potatoes substantially protect the pro- ducer against surpluses only a hundred miles away! Hay and Potatoes for Instance. In 1923, for instance, farmers in Nor- folk County received an average of only 8115 cents a bushel for their potatoes, while farmers in Welland County, less F OR HIGHER $9.28 a cunty for ore the adjoining Ca ly. of A re- ceived $11.05 for theirs. Discount these lis as much as you like on the ground that differences of quality had something to do with the differences in price, yet do they not serve to shake your faith in the man who would have you believe that Liverpool prices always govern domestic prices? Did Thun- der Bay farmers, for instance, get $19.64 for their hay in 1923 because it was of such superior quality, or did they get it because of the high cost of bringing $8.98 hay from Huron County, or $10.11 hay from Lambton County? If Liverpool prices governed hay in the way and for the same reasons that they do wheat, Ontario farmers would have to pay shippers a premium to take their hay away! What's Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander. Belittlers of the home market assert that a tariff on farm products is of no benefit to our farmers. Is the United States tariff on farm products of no benefit to United States farmers? Is it no detriment to Canadian farmers? If a foreign tariff is a detriment to Canadian farmers, why should TARIFF AND FOR not a Cans an tariff be a detriment to foreign farmers and consequently a benefit to our own? What a New Industry, in your Market Town, Means to You! It increases the prosperity of the town, gives work to the unemr Re ed, adds to the population, gets the empty houses "rented and starts ths build- ing of new ones. The t town immediately has more money to spen nd on the butter and eggs, the vegetables, fruit, milk and grain your farm produces, The foreign market is admittedly market, but after all what does it co ft made up entirely of town and « wage-carners--who cannot obtain from Ha 0% farmers as much food as they require buy from you? Is the city dweller an asset Canadian farmer only when he happer in a foreign city? If we persuaded offer of a better job than he now has, to live in Canada, would he not be a bigger our farmer than he is at present ? Those who scoff at the home market yw courage those dwellers in a foreign city to where they are, thus leaving our farmer position where they must take a chan ping their products long distances, and thea them in competition with other producers over the world! Isn't the plan of those would build up the home market a wvastls one? A ite tariff will give more workers good Jobs in this country. Canadian workmen with good jobs are the best customers the the Canadian farmer will ever have. LOWER TAXATION pms Conservative Victory Commities, $30 Bay $t., Toronto a *
