Baker and Caterer East of the The New Duties Have Doubled Our Output. ‘1 From T he Ewpirc. ‘ In no }),LI'l:iCU1ilI' has the Canadian farmer been more greatly benefittei than by the imposition of the pork duties. It is one of the Grit stock-in-trade cries that what.- ever the National Policy may have done for the manufacturer it has not benefitte’i the farmer, in fact, they go so far as tosay when at meetings, where they cannot be answered, that the farmer has been robbed to make millionaires or the manufacturers. THE FACTS OF THE CASE. For information on this subject the knowledge of the Minister of Agriculture and of the large dealers in Toron1o, liain- l ilton and Collingwood has been laid under ‘ requisition, and they Wlll speak for them- selves. The result, however, may be sur- mariZed thus : The increase in the duties on hog products has increased the price to the Canadian farmer, has stimulated pro- duction so that the imports from the United States have declined more than one-h'ilf, and has caused the Canadian dealers to ddubt their capacity for handing this product. Our product is of a better class than the American and commands a highei price in the market. The result is a direct benefit to both farmer and dealer, but more especially to the farmer. The statements which follow speak for them- selves : ’iHE HOG TRADE. UNDER THE N. Here was a reduction in one year or 12,034,603 lbs. (Applause.) In this con- nection, he might also say that the im- ports of beef from the United States had declined from 6,443,315 lbs, in 1890 to 2,698,305 in 1891, a total reduction of 3,745,010 lbs. Mr. Carling referred to his recent visit to the pork packing estab- lishment of the Messrs. Davis in Toronto, at. which factory some 75,000 hogs were slaughtered annually. He regretted to learn, however, that these gentlemen were obliged to import about one-half of their live hogs from the United States simply because home supply was inadequate, not- withstanding the fact that they readily paid a considerably higher price for Cana- dian fed hogs. It was also true that the packers paid $1 more per 100 for live hogs in June, July and August than in the months of September, October and No- vember. Our farmers will find it to their interest to give greater attention to this matter of hog raising, having in view the best breeds, the best methods of feeding and the best time of marketing. The Minister of Agriculture spoke at some length upon the matter, as he regarded it as of the utmost importance that it should be impressed on the minds of our famers. A large and profitable market was open for the Canadian product if our people would but produce it in sufficient quantity. A vast amount of valuable information on hog raising and feeding was being issued from the experimental farm at Ottawa, and every farmer should avail himself of it. \V Total .......... 26,672,757 14,638,154 The views of all the Toronto dealers were obtained with one exception and their statements are given below, together with those of the Hamilton packers and the Collingwood firm. who also do a. very large business. These dealers were seen without regard to politics. Some of them are Conservatives, some are Reformers, but it will be seen that. they have but one opinion on the subject. The exception mentioned is Mr. William Davies, who was out of town, but his views werepublished in the Empire of December 2, and they coincide in every,particular With those of the other Toronto men. masses.

JAN UARY 28th, was seen, and from him the following cor Valuable and interesting information upon far the subject was obtained : Under the old o'et tariff for 1‘3 months from June, 1839. to wa June, 1890, which included three months pri of the new tariff. the itnp<-.rtation from the :1}; United States of lard was 4,879.11 1 pounds, zlu of bacon, hams, and shoulders 4,431,200 he pounds, and pork in barrels 17,161,592 We pounds. For 12 months. from June, 1890, hu to June, 1891. under the new tariff the pr lard imported was but. 988,999 pounds, a Sq decrease of 3,890,112 pounds; bacon. hams fw . and shoulders imported, 2,564,044 pounds, M a. decreaSe of 1,780,156 pounds; pork in of barrels imported, 11,085,111 pounds, a th decrease of 6,078,461 pounds-making a total decrease of 11,746,729 pounds in hog products. The ratio of that decrease is as 26 is to 14. The value of the decrease at 7% cents per pound is $881,000 or that much extra business for the Ontario farmer and that much money kept in the country which would otherwise be sent to the p United States. From June, 1891, to De- cember, 1891, the provisions imported or amounted to $552,925. This year $392,260. or a further market far the Canadian farmer over ”the increased market of last year for the sa ne period of $160,665. This plainly shows that the end has not yet e mic, and that. if the duties are maintained within a short period the Canadian farmer will be quite independent of the American market. Prior to the clunge of taritl' two years ago the North-west Territories and British Columbia bought all their pork supply from the United States, but now under existing circumstances a large per 1 tion of that trade is already being done by 1, the sister provinces to the east, particu- larly Ontario, and doubtless within a few , r years the entire trade will be controlled I a by these provinces. 5 There is such a competition between ', Canadian packers for this new market that e while the farmer’s price here is kept up 1- the packer, owing to the increased volume of trade, is willing to work for a smaller advance than formerly upon the unmanu- 6 factuted hog. This state of affairs has en- id ahled the Canadian and particularly the ‘ Ontario farmer to realize the full benefit of the increased trade which is entirely due 3 to the National Policy. The imports of d 1890, as above. amount to 1,100 cars at 6f 24,000 pounds each. The decrease in this 1 14 trade Within the past few months amounts ,_ to 500 cars. The effect of the new tariff f” on the hog product in Ontario is shown by as the report of the Ontario Bureau of Ind-.13- he tries, as follows : :'ul 1889â€"H'gs sold from Cana. farms 835,469 nd 1990- " “ “ “ 1,140.559 ...,tiseiâ€"â€" .. “ “ 1,156,316 I : -_-_.AnnAâ€"-Haf-‘d<p:¢1(\‘ {f 5 1d The same report shows an increase in ed the average weight in 1891 over that of th 1890 and as secured from various packers of 15 pounds per hog. This increased weight on the crop will amount to over 17,000,000 pounds which at 4;}; cents per pound will amount to $737,000. Any person who makes a study of these figures and who then inclines to the belief that it would be better to remove the duty in the interests of the Canadian farmer will not be regarded as a sound reasoner. My business has more than doubled within the past few years, and all Canadian dealers are LOW doing a business that a few years ago they did not dream possible. JAMES E. BAILEY. Mr. James E. Bailey, another large Front street dealer. spoke as follows : “ Undoubtedly the N. P. has been of vast benefit to the hog producers in Canada. This can be best illustrated by quoting the average prices since 1884 which have been as follows on the Toronto market : 1394-35 - - ..... $6.10 per hundred pounds 1885-86 .......... 5.33 “ “ -‘ h at 1886-87 .......... 5.78 ' 1887-88 . 6.54 “ “ “ 1888-89 ........... 7.05 “ “ “ ’ 1889-90 ........... 5.59 “ " “ I 189091 . ........ 5.78 “ “ “ - 1891 to date ..... 5.60 “ “ “ It. will be seen at once by any person who deals in or raises hogs in Canada that these prices are far in advance of those ' which obtained before the N.P. These 3 prices are much larger than the prices ob- s tained duringr the same years by the e American farmer as a reference to any of " their trade journals will prove. I have Er been in business since 1874 but did not ‘5 begin to pack until the 1‘4. P. came into '3 force in 1879. Up to that time there was '3; no use in me attempting to pack, because ie I could not get Canadian hogs. My busi- re ness since that time has increased at the 1" rate of ten per cent. every year, and now 1d the profit from my house is over 100 per ’3- cent. more than it was ten years ago. en Canadians are now quite independent of )le the American market, except in the one article of mess pork. Formerly our ideas of value were entirely based upon the ‘31- on cost, freight and duty from Chicago, while now it is simply a. question of Canadian supply and demand. Our market has entirely shaken free trom the effect of Chicago fluctuations. One effect of the N.1’. Is that two years ago the largest lard refiners in the United States found it necessary in order to do busmess Can- ada. to open out a branch house at Mont- real. As a pork packer I have no hesita- ‘ tion in saying that it is to my interest to see the NP. maintained, and I can safely say that it is most beneficml to the farm- er so far as the marketing of his hogs is concerned. The increased packing, in Canada has also exercised a most beneficial influence up0n the cooperage business.

Jan. 22.â€"â€"During the per- ‘ formance of “A Night at the Circus” at ‘ the Bedford avenue theatre to-night, a crank managed to pass the stage door, and making his way to the dressing room of the leading lady, Miss Nellie McHenry, he fell on his knees and made violent love to her. He told her in fevered speech that he had adored her for six years past, from the time of her engagement with the troubadours. Thrusting a note in her hand he wanted to marry her on the spot. The afl‘rixghted actrem rushed out: on the stage pursued bv the crank, who gave to the public a demonstration of ardent love in a realistic manner. Miss McHenry ‘ screamed and frightened some of the au- dience, while others, thinking it a part of the play, applauded loudly.
