Is the Farmer Protected? Under the above heading there have appeared within the last two weeks many editorials attempting to prove that the Canadian farmer is protected by our tariffs. In support of this con- tention it is stated as a fact. that “ in 1876 the Canadian farmers sold about $12,000,000 worth of their products to the United States, on which they paid a duty of very nearly 84,000,000.” And again : “ In other words, the Can- adian farmer was compelled to pay into the treasury of the United States what practically amounted to one-third of the value of the articles sold,:and had to be satisfied with the! other two-thirds for himself,” etc., etc. The utter absurdity of contending that foreign farmers can be taxed and compelled to pay money into our treas- ury by simply passing a law at Ottawa, as our own farmers, according to the foregoing supposed facts, are said to have been compelled to pay $4,000,000 into the treasury of the United States simply because a Certain law was passed at Washington, is too apparent to need refuting, further than to state that if it were possible to make foreign farmers pay our taxes, we could lay the whole world of farmers under contribution and so wax rich by Sllllply‘paSSlllg laws â€"and this is really what protectionist statesmen (of the Tapper type) imagine they can do. In these same editorials attention is called to the fact that: the Makenzie administration in 1878 re- i'used this so-called protection to the ~ Canadian farmers. although the demand was backed by 10,000 petitioners; and further, that their demands were grant- ed in 1879 under the Conservative gov- ernment. The wisdom of the refusal may be seen in the records of. the registry offices, said records indicating a steady rise in farm land values (a sure indication of increasing farmers’ profits) from the early days down to 1879. The same records in the same ofiiocs indicate that since the Conserva- tive government gave protection to the farmers a steady fall in the value of farm land has taken place (an infallible Sign of decreasing farmers’ profits). This fall in farm land values is ack- nowledged by the Conservatives, and is accounted for by them by assuming that the farmers have become more ex- travagant and less industrious since 1879. The real reason is that the price of all that farmers all over the world have to sell is fixed in Liverpool, Whilst the price of things they must buy (under protection) by the amount of influence the combines can bring to bear on the government at Ottawa, or Washâ€" ington, or the government of any coun- try where protection prevails. A notice- able feature of' the system is that wher- ever protection hus gone the highest, farm land values have fallen the lowest. The farm lands of New York State on the south side of the St. Lawrencc River steadily declined in value from the time they introduced protection in the United States in the sixties, down to 1879; during the same period the farm lands of Ontario, bordered by the north side of the St. Lawrence steadily increased in value; since we introduced protection thcso farm lands of Ontario on the north side of the St. Lawrence have fallen in value 40 per cent. Since the pas~age of the Wilson-German bill, which greatly reduced the tariff of the United States, farm land values have steadily risen. If farmers would re- member that the only possible way they can utilize their surplus products is by exchanging them for things they do not or cannot produce, they would soon put an end to a system of taxation that obliges them to pay a high price for all they have to buy,whilst the things they sell are subject to the free action of the cheapeuing effect of all modern improve- ments. Where a free exchange of the products of the farm for the products of manufacture is possible, as in Great Britain, this cheapening effect of mod- ern improvements would increase the farmer's margin of profits, for the simple reason that labor saving devices can be applied continuously to manufactures of the products of the mine and forest, nature having done her work ages ago, whilst for the products of the farm we must await the advent of the seasons and depend on the caprice of Dame Nature. The result is that in Great Britain, according to ill ulhnll, labor saving devices increased the productive- l ness of labor applied to manufacture during the same period. Areal-ding to the same authority farm land values. as indicated by rents and tithes, advanced 35 per cent. during the same period (an infallible Sign of increased t'artncrs' profits). The attempt to protect our farmers can never be successful as long as they produce a surplus for export. The price paid for export will always govern the price paid for home con- sumption, and that price will be fixed in the country that imports the largest amount of this surplus, which at presâ€" ent is Great Britain.

DUBOIS, Pa., March 23.â€"â€"â€"'I‘herc was agas explosion at the Berwynd-Whitc shaft at the eastern limit of this town this f'orenoon, and fourteen miners were killed. It is a new mine, which the company had been opening up and working crews in shafts to push the headings out in various directions for big.' work later on. Eighteen men went on at 7 o’clock this morninc, 14 going into the north heading and 4 into the south heading. About 10 o'clock the latter were sensible of a shock, and a few minutes later the mine boss came to them and told them something had happened and that they should get‘ out; as soon as they could. When the party, consisting of five, reached the’foot of the shaft, they were nearly Overcome by gas and were hurriedly taken up in the cage. Assistance was immediately sum- moned, and practical miners from Bell Lewis and Yates Company mines imv mediater volunteered their service, and as the work of rescue proceeded it was discovered that the shock in the north heading was so terrific that some of the bodies were mutilated almost beyond recognition, and that those who had not yet been found could not possibly have escaped violent death. Nearly all the bodies have been found, but up to this time they havo only been brought to the foot of the shaft, where they are being collected, preparatory to being brought to the surface. - Two Men Blown to Atoms. COREY'S TORI’EDO WORKS AT PETROLEA COMPLETELY DEMOLISIIED. PETROLEA, Ont, March Elliâ€"About lo’clock this afternoon a tremendous report was heard in town, fairly shaking the houses. The report was plainly heard in Wyoming: and the surrounding country. On investigation it proved to be Corey’s torpedo works, which are situated about a mile from the main part- of I’etrolea. It appears two men named John Owens and William Ht):- gard were thawing out glycerine at the above mentioned factory, and it is gen- orally supposed they must have let some of the glyceriue drop. In fact, it is hard to say what caused the explosion. The building was completely wrecked. and Owen and Haggard were blown to pieces. One part of their remains were blown into a tree 300 yards away and other parts were scattered all around, some to quite a distance. It will be very difficult to identify them. Owens is a married man with one child. and Haggard is single. Huagard com- menced to work at the factory only this morning. Hundreds of people are via. iting the scene of the explosion, and willing hands are doing all that can possibly be done. .- Last month 30,000 cars of cattle passed through St. Thomas in bond. Perhaps the most remarkable feat of building-moving was that successfully accomplished in Chicago recently, when a large stone church, with a massive square tower, was jacked up from its foundations and moved a distance of fifty feet to another lot. The church was moved in order to admit light into the rooms of a bi: hotel on Michigan avenue, at the corner of' Twenty-third street. A man in Indiana was shot the other day and would have been instantly kil~ led if his heart had been in the normal position, for the ball from his assailant's revolver passad directly through his body at the place where his heart Oirzht to be.
