(ADVE1RTI'SEMENT) What Toughtful' Leading ME Throughoui Canada Think Letters and Telegrams Endorsing the Election of F Bowen for the Constituency of Durham are being Received, by The Daily Times, Port Hope. Col the Hon. W. H. Price, Provincial Treasurer of Ontario, in a telegram to the Daily Tinmes says: "Mr. Fred BowEn, the Resident Candidate, is a fair proto- type of the great farming conrmunity of the riding of Durham. Citizens of this ridinig need iiot go abroad to get a commen- dation of his worth. He adv'ocates a policy that means home muarkets for the farmer and work for the artisan in the townjs. The small towns should get sonie of our induatries. Bowen stands higb in the councils of our leader and will be very use- fui to the Meighen Governnient when it assumes office next nionth." (Signed) W. H. Price. Dr. R. J. Manion, M. P., of Fort William, has written the following letter tc, theý Daily Tirne-.: Dear Sir:-Fired Bowven is one of the most loved men in the House of CGommon2. While flot fond of publie speaking, lie is looking- after the interests of his constituents every moment of the day, se much sù that manyof us wvho know littie about agri- cultural questions use Mr. Bowen and a couple of others of our party who are farnis as our advisors on ail questions which pertain to agriculture, In every way Fred Bowen is -a 'credit to bis constituency and to the House ýof Comno.ns of Canada". (Signed) R. J. Manion The following letter to the Daily Tmes is fromn Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture for the Province of Ontario. Dear Sir :-."P VW. Bowen deserves support on bis reoord as a representatie cf the riding f or the past few years. He hias ehown good ability and faithfulness in the performance of his public duti(bs which readily deserve support. He is a local man, living ail the year round in his constituency. He is a solid, practical f4rmer who, however, appears not as a repre- sentative of any IcIks but as a representative of ail the varied interestsof this imbortant c)nstituency". "Froni the starsdpoint of agriculture Mr. Bowen assuredly deserves general suipport. He is opposing a Government which bas steadily ignored the interests of the farmers of the country. As an illustration of the truth of his statement reference 'might be made to the action of the Government in~ discounting the systei of aid to agricultural education which wa.s established by the Conservative Governinent ten years ago and which had been carried out asatisfactorily throuagh Provincial organizations thv9ughout those years. The action which added 'an additîonal ob- ligation to the Provinces, was taken after a memnber of the present Ottaw.a Governinent had practically promised in the Heuse of Cominons that the aid would be continued and the législation renewed". "Furthermore, the Government bas ignored the repeated re- quests of fruit growers, vegetable growers and poultry keepers for more tariff protection. Instead of listening to the reas- onable presentations mande by these important bodies th~e Gov- ernmnent has coitinued a tariff which places the producer at th'mercy of the producer in other 'countries wb'ose products are admitted to Canada at substantially lower rates thaxi those at which Canadiah prod uce ia admiitted to other countries. This is true with reference to thes United States and it is true in an alarming dgree with refcrence te Aul!tralia under the zecesit Trade Treaty which, whatever else it may accomplisb, certain- ly sacrifices thé interests of 'th'e fariners. 'While oppoising a Governmént wýitb a record of this nature, Mr. Bowen stands for a sound constructive national policy which will give rea- sona ble' pôteýctiom ito the prodiucts of the f arm as well as to the products' cf 1abor in the centres cf population.

Heretofore we have always talcen it for granted-without much careful thought, perhaps-that it was fariner immigrants we most wanted,-people who would settie on our vacant land in the West, and.produce' more froin the soil. And complaints being loud and numerous that farming in Canada was not as pro- fitable as it should be, we have tried to cornvert an unattractive situation into an attractive one by lowering the tariff on manufactured goods, in the hope of thereby lowering farrn production costs, and 80 increasing the farmer's net. Has that plan gotten u§ anywhere ? In 1924, despite tariff reductions made ostensibly to benefit a7griculture, there were actually fewer farmý. immigrants than in 1923 ! And when, against the total immi- gration for 1923 and 1924, we offset the total em1igration from our towns and cities, we find that the country has suffered a net loss ! So, obviously there is something wrong- somewhere-in the plan we have been following,-either in the assumption that it is farmers we most want, or in our method of attracting thein. Perhaps it's a combin- ation of the two. Population Increases Should be Properly Balanced. In shaping our policy as above, we have certairtly overlooked one very important point. Farmers as a rule don't seli to far-mers, but to town and city folk. So when wve try to increase farin population by methods that operate to decrease town and city populatimn, we are actually mÉiking things worse for the very people we are trying to benefit. We are curtaili-ng a domestic market that our farm-ters can control, and we are increasing their dle- pendence upon an export market oveï' which they have no control! An Alternati ve Plain that Promises Better.Success. Let us now go back to the beginning again, and start from the alternative assumption that it's primarily town and city population we want to attract. 2.How are w, going to attract themn?

With more customers for farni produce, and with a higher purchasing power per customer due to higher wages, isn't it inevitable that a domestic supply will beý forthcoming to meet a dolmestic demand, particularly if we protect farin products in the same way that we propose, to protect manufactured products?'
