Therefore, it has a moral effect on the {poor at all events. Moreover, it does {not tax a necessity such as bread. fTherefore, a great sum is added to 'the revenues of the country. Where I is the harm in that bit of the tariff?" More Customs Returns Farmer Jones, after arriving at this stage of his argument with himself, turned over more pages of the cus- toms returns. Having started with one kind of intoxicating liquors he de- termined to find out how much other kinds were adding to the national pocket of Canada. He found that the J duties on ale, porter and lager beer amounted .to $211,733.83 in 1910. Ale, porter or beer had never touched his palate, or those of his four sons. Wine was a mere mysterious stranger. He had read about it in the Bible, and fully believed in its powers as a mocker, but had never seen it, to his knowledge, and he would have staked his farm that Mrs. Jones had never “Clearly the farmers about here do n0t pay any of that six millions. Who does then? Temperance statis- tics show that most liquor is con« sumed in large cities, where there are at least two distinct classes of peo- ple, the very rich and the very poor. A .. . . A--.L__ - h vvvvvv u Alk‘UUl-o We have had loos-3:1 Option for three years and .. has not been sold in the county for that time. ‘ Mr. Jones’ intention was to reduce himself to a state of absolute depres- sion by reading anti-tariff literature, but his attention was arrested by a blue book which had just arrived that day from Ottawa. It contained the returns of the Customs Department. Mr. Jones glanced through the order- ly array of figures and terse signifi- cant statements, so different from those which had threatened to under- mine the cheerfulness of his disposi- tion a few minutes before. He no- ticed that the duty collected on spirits and wines imported into Canada dur- ing 1910 amounted to $5,955,645.40. which went into the Dominion treas- ury and helped to make up the total . revenue of the country. Who Pays This Bill? “Who pays that six mililons?” asked Farmer Jones of himself. . “I don’t drink spirits. No one on this concession drinks. Practically no one in the township touches liquor. ‘17.. L _ _. . This remark showed that the genial Jones was in an extremely pessimistic mood, which compelled him to turn his back on his fields, enter his house, and sit down before his great old- fashioned desk with its quaint pigeon holes full of musty books and papers. Farmer Jones put down his feet. He leaned anxiously forward and scanned the fields already disappear- ing in the twilight as- though capital. ists, with giant hands, were snatch- ing them bodily away. He could easily imagine that he saw stout little men, with seal rings and heavy watch chains, scurrying over the fences, carrying bushels of wheat, sheaves of corn and baskets of fruit. Depressed by his vision, Farmer Jones put away his now tasteless pi'pe. In a Pessimistic Mood “Blast them!” he remarked, refer- ring to the absent tariff makers, “I wish I had them out in the hay field on a hot day. I’d take the humps off the stomachs and put them on their backsfi’ Farmer Jones sat on his back ver- andah watching his crops grow under the gentle influence of a May oven- ing. His teet were up, his pipe was going. the. smell of the new spring earth was in his nostrils. Out in the harrowed fields the grain was show- ing: in long green lines, while on the rolling hills across the river the sea- son’s hay was standing in tangled richness . Mingled with the songs of birds, his eager ear caught a sound quite as attractiveâ€"the insidious, sC'nething which told him of abundant and progressive life. It was his hour , into a fit of melancholy. ,As he watch- ed his fields he began to estimate his ’profits. subtracting expenditures from receipts and calculating how the for- ! mer might be reduced. ,The things he lhad to buy, the wear and tear on the I things he already possessed were duly taken into account. Agricultural Scare Crow At this point, that agricultural scare crow, the tariff, stalked into his solilo- quy. He recalled fragments of the pamphlets and. newspapers he had read, wild words from the inaccurate orations he had heard on the subject, all of which claimed to have proven that the tariff was the yoke upon the Canadian farmer’s neck that chained him to perpetual slavery on the land. If these allegations were true, the tariff, and those corpulcnt monOpol- ists who were represented as profit- ing by its existence. would take their toll of every broad acre‘he possessed. This was the reason, then, that there was not a larger margin between his annual debits and credits. ' U- ,_,___ -v"'- Y-uv'v-v’ 790.

Even if I am paying taxes on a few things because of this protective tariff, it seems to me I am benefitting in part from it as well as from the taxes levied on all other% classes. And more, I am paying myi own way as a self-respecting citizen: ought to do,” concluded Farmer Jones.‘ ‘avored Nations “I’ll bring this thing up at the next meeting of the Grange." he said. “There is too much aimless talk abgut ‘bloated capitalists’ and ‘down trodd.:n farmers’ indulged in by the orators who visit us. I’ll take the customs returns over and read a few hard facts and, figures to the boys.” -v... â€" an“.

What does the completion of these vast public Works mean to the farm- ers of Canada, particularly those in the Prairie Provinces who have grain to ship across the Atlantic?

The Grand Trunk Railway was linking up two oceans. Would it have been built if a plebiscite had been taken in a country where the agricultural classes are in the majority in the absence of a sys- tem of moderate protection? Wo..ld the C.P.R. have been built out of the proceeds of direct land taxes? Farm- er Jones was inclined to answer these questions in the negative. The Georgian Bay Canal, connecting Port Afii'ktsn 48â€"4 ‘I‘ ‘ “It strikes me}; s'a'i‘ finally, “that a model tariff is not so black painted.” Rock out, fill, timber land and open prairie averaged, railway construction costs about $35,000 per mile. The duty on spirits for 1910 would build 170 miles of the Transcontinental. .The combined revenue derived from the duty on animals, butter, eggs, grain and its products, green fruit and vegetables, would build 31 miles. The consumers ,of intoxicants, and his riv- , als who had farm produce to sell, were actually paying for the railroad which would transport his produce to a wider. market than it had enjoyed before the advent of the‘line. The next item upon which his at- tention rested was “Electrical Appar- atus,” on which the revenue collected through the duty in 1910 amounted to! $909,482.72. There was not a cent’s worth of electrical apparatus used within a radius of ten miles of where Mr. Jones lived. Dwellers of towns and cities used electrical apparatus, and consequently paid all or part of the duty on it. The amount collected through this duty went into the na- tional treasury and eased the financ.al burden of Farmer Jones. Mr. Jones, being a man of ingeniozs turn of mind, looked at the problem as it affected him in another way. He knew what few realizeâ€"that out of the Special revenues of the country the majority of the great public works are financed." He thought musingly of the outcry which would be raise-d way. Yet this great transcontinental would benefit their agricultural com- munity. Farmer Jones began his cal- culations again. The effect of this duty was two-fold; $1,095,381.84 was added to the nation- al revenue, and his competitors were placed under a handicap in competi- tion for the Canadian market. He had all these articles on the market him- self. Therefore, this muclrabused tariff was conserving a selling i‘ier for him and making his rivals help pay his taxes. Consequently, these six millions, col- lected in duties on intoxicating liquor, lessened to some degree the taxes on his property. Mr. Jones was per- plexed. He had been taught that the tariff was his enemy. In this case, at any- rate, it was his friend. He con- tinued to run over the items in the schedules. The duty on animals im- ported into Canada during 1910 amounted to $167,350.38; on butter. $15,702.08; on eggs, $20,305.42; on grain and products, $273,424.17; on green fruit, $267,937.94; and on vege- tables. $350,661.85. Mr. Jones knew that all the nation- al revenues are “pooled,” that is, put into one vast account. from which all expenses are paid. His taxes went in with the rest. It was quite clear, therefore, that his taxes would be less- ened 'in pronortion to the amount of national revenue derived from other sourccs than a direct tax on land.
