In Price of Sugar Men’s Clothing SMALL PROFITS THE DURHAM CHRONICLE ii‘fi} The Durham schools re-opened' on Tuesday last, under very favâ€" orable auSpices, The attendance in the Model school is 47, and in the High school department, Form! I. 25, Form 11, 22, Form III. 21. This, we think. is a splendid showing, and speaks 'well for Dur- ham as an educational centre. We. hope the Model students will no. think too much of their own im- portance, but think largely of the of the importance of the positions for which they are preparing. The :building of character is a great and noble work, second to none VVe’ll not admit that even the work of the pulpit or the press is of more vital importance than the work of the teacher. To the students in the different departments, and especially to; those in the higher forms, it may be a great consolation to them in July and August 1912 ,if they realize now and act upon that realization throughout the whole school term, that the best time to begin real hard honest Work is now. By starting right, and con- tinuing right, it will mean money and satisfaction in the pockets and minds of the students, when the results are reckoned up after the next examination. We wish an iabundance of success to every good faithful honest student. The following list gives names and addresses of the Model stu~ dents in training: Florence Durkin, Bowling Green. Reginald C. Kerr, Mt. Forest. Ila M. Hosking, Palmerston. Beatrice E. MacKenzie, South- The Statements have been made and is- sued broadcast to the effect that hogs bring a higher price in Buffalo than in Toronto and that Canadian farmers would therefore get more for their pork in the United States. Buffalo, however, is not the whole United States‘market, nor is it as good a barometer of hog conditions as Chi- cago, and. taking prices in their broadest application to Canada and the United States as two countries, indisputable authorities on both sides of the line prove that hogs are and have been worth more in Canada, and that the hog industry is in a more flourishing condition in Canada than in the United States. This condition exists notwithstanding the fact that Canada is not a successful grower or Indian corn. Figures are at hand from Canadian packing companies Who have kept comparative records of hog prices on both sides of the border for the last five years, showing conclusively that the markets have been higher for a series of years in Canada than they have been in the United States. So far as hogs are concerned, therefore, prices furnished by the home markets as undeniably higher than those paid to the farmer in the United States. and those ardent advocates of Reci- rocity who see such enhanced values Uncle Sam’s domain for everything the Canadian farmer grows must re- vise their bases Of argument accord- In; to the facts.

Now the woods are gone, the villages are cities, and the berry-pickers are work- ing all day in factories and paying us to grow their berries and vegetables for them.” “It’s odd,” said the other, “plumb odd.” “There’s rcasons for it,” replied Farmer Jones. "many reasons. More people. more arms to work, more months to feed, growth of factories, development of trade, but there is one big reasonâ€"tariff.” i “I don’t know what to think about 'thnf critter.” said the thin man. “I don’t know what to thinK aooun that critter,” said the thin man. “Some yell things about him in my left ear and others yell different things in my right.” ‘ ___A â€"A-.- 'â€"â€"â€"oâ€" __ “Stop your ears and use your brains,” advised Jones. “Those old prices paid for our goods were the prices of the period before the Na- tional Policy, which all governments, Grit and Tory, have been wise enough to continue. Here’s my position. I ,‘adge the tariff by its results. I’m not workin’ as hard to-day as I was thirty years ago. I couldn’t, I’m not as eco- nomical. I couldn’t be. Yet, thirty years ago I was scratchin’ like a hen on a hot griddle to get three slim meals a day and a hard bed at night, and to pay the interest on a mortgage. Now I work about eight hours a day, own my land, have money in the bank, eat the best food, wear as good clothes as town people, go to the city when I like. and take an annual vaca- tion just like the preachers. I’ve a piano, and a spare driver. Two of my sons are at college, and my eldest daughter is studying music in one of the city conservatories. What’s made the difference? Markets. In the old days we had none. Most of the peo- ple in the country were farmers, and we did not want one another’s stuff. Britain was too far away when we had no fast liners and cold storage, and the United States shut their door in our faces. We had to sink or swim, and we splashed a bit, but we floated. When we got a tariff our towns and cities began to boom. Factories at- :racted laborers who had to have food and clothing. They had no time to grow their own vegetables or go to the . woods to pick berries. In the old days we labored like Turks to grow stuff. which spoiled on our hands. To-day we can’t raise enough. The cities and towns of Canada are cryin’ for our goods. The British Isles are roarin’ for our fruit, meat and dairy produce. Prices are being paid that would have .ifted the hair off my old father’s head. "Wipe out the great manufacturing :entres and where are we? Back to :he good old days when our eggs sold at 12 cents a dozen. I suppose we might have a tariff ‘fixed in Canada that would be entirely in favor of us farmers and would skin the city and town people out of their eye teeth. That looks to me like living high on the goose that laid the golden eggs. in a short time we’d have neither eggs nor goose.” “Nor down to feather our nests,” in- terrupted the thin man. “What we farmers want is a square ieal," went on the other. “This tariff )f ours should be like a. genial sun in the sky, givin’ light and heat to the whole country without scorchin’ any- me. I want a tariff which lets us all live. Don’t I appear to be livin’? Look at my farm.” “Why are the farmers shoutln’ for; tariff reductions and practically ask-1 lng for free trade?” asked the thin man. “Why are these big deputa- tions of farmers going dow nto Ottawa warln' the gofirernment and Opposi-‘ don, too?” “There are various kinds of intoxica- tion,” he said finally. “But they all have one thing in common. They. make their victims act foolish. The farmers of Canada at present are drunk with prosperity. They’re mak- in' a rough house at Ottawa to show how strong they are.
