WHOSE FAULT?

On awry hand, on the public

Hilatform and in the public press.

we are told that the prosperity of Canada lies in the hands 0f the farmers. lf- farm products bring good prices, We are assured, then tbe tnarket, the trader, the trades- man, the transportation companies and all other callings and profes- sions will prosper. This is so evid- ent, particularly in a purely agri- cultural cou‘ntry like ours, that it needs no elaboration. Wthat might we not hopein the way oi indus- trial and commercial development if our agricultural business was on a healthy foundation, lure really paid?

it is admitted on every itand that the majority of our farmers today are barely making ends meet, that only the comparatively few can show a margin oi profit. What is the reason? Want of markets. Our farmers ara- producing very much more today than they were a generation or two ago and they require a larger market. A few years ago our home market, that is, our Canadian centres, consumed 8,5 per cent oi our farm products with the exception of wheat. Our industrial’ centres today are not sufficiently populous to take care of our increased production. Tht- situation than is that farm produc» tion is increasing more rapidly than the ability oi the country to absorb tt. in a country blessed as Canada is. with natural resources capable of indefinite development, control- ling as it does the nickel produc- tion of the world, the asbestos of the world, the lumber of the Act- erican continent and in addition, coal, iron, water power, everything in fact that industrial development needs. Why is it that our indus- tries are developing so slowly? is

if agricul-

it not because we are giving away our natural resources and at the psame time opening our markets to foreigners instead oi reserving them for our own people?

The United States was at one time a good market for our farm produce; that was before the Am- erican farmers could supply their own cities.

Farming in the United States has increased as it has in Canada and the American farmers want their markets for themselves, so

they have very properly closed their doors against llB while we, cbildisbly and on the advice of cer- tain politicians threw our doors al- most wlde open to them. Instead oi matching our tariff with theirs every time they passed a McKinley or a Fordney tariff, we foolishly or "l!!! reduced ours'or left it as it was. We have allowed them to ~carry away our raw material, our ‘minerals and our lumber, and our 1 young men are following the raw rmaterial to help in its manufacture. {to swell the population oi Ameri. can industrial centres and to en- , large the market for American farmers while tboseiarmers are ‘dumping their surplus products in- to our markets almast free of duty. ‘ ~‘ ‘who is to hauler Primarily the politicians who are preaching that free trade will reduce the cost oi living, that the free transportation ,0! agricultural implements will re-
