PeTERson, Every farmer owes it as a duty te himself and his craft, to read, com-« prehend and digest useful informa- tion bearing on the economic situa- tion of which he is to-day a victim. That he has social and economic grievances of a magnitude sufficient to cause him to rebel, is now common knowledge. That his is the most un- derpaid of all crafts and occupations is equally well known and understood by himself and all other classes. But what is the remedy? It is futile for the farmer to form the conclusion, that all other classes "have entered into a deep conspiracy to rob him of his just returns for his work. This . idea is undoubtedly harbored uncon- sciously by many of us. On the con- trary, I am prepared to assert, that exactly the opposite is the case. No class of the community would be short-sighted enough to deliberately place any obstacle in the way of an agrarian march towards prosperity, because such prosperity would imme- diately be reflected in higher earning powers of all classes; a fact which is well understood all through Canada. The present economic situation ls rather the product of circumstances. It is due to the fact that labor can successfully organize and impose a higher wage scale, which the farmer has to contribute towards in his pur. chases, that manufacturers naturally raise their prices on finished pro- ucts when production costs increase. The transportation concerns follow the same businesslike procedure. That the dealer increases his margin of gross profit when his selling costs in- crease and so forth. - These good peo- ple are doubtless all just as selfish as we farmers would be were the positions reversed. No more and no less. If the farmer could only fol- low the same course all would be well. But there is the rub. He canh- not. As long as a country is on an exporting basis, agricultural products must be sold at world prices. Canada cannot begin to absorb all she pro- duces, so the farmer is helpless, Where then is the remedy?
