Topper and Trade. llNllllIlllEllHPllfllllllll * * * * The working farmer made nothing out of the Corn Laws; the rent. he had to pay was so high that when Provi- dence sent abundant crops and the price ofgrain fell he could not pay it; hence five or six royal commissions were ap- pointed during the existence of the Corn Laws ” to devise remedies for his re- lief.” The landlords fought to the last. to uphold this selfish policy, but with the help of the Irish famine, an object lesson none could ignore, Cobden tri- umphed and the bread of Lazarus was no longer taxed that Dives might fare sumptuously every day. Acute obser- vers saw that free trade in the products of the land would in time necessitate free trade in the land itself. As every one knows, the soil of the three king~ dome is owned by a few thousand per sons. “Our big estates have ruined Italy,” wrote Pliny, and it is demon strable that the land monopoly in Eng- land, fenced around with primogeoi- lure, entail. the law of settlem-rnts and other feudal relics, is responsible for a long train of evils reaching from the impoverishment of younger sons down to the vast mass of pauperism stowed away in workhouses. Wheat has lately gone as low as 20 shillings per quarter, a tremendous fall from 155; other pro- ducts have dropped, though not, per- haps, so much. When settlements and minor charges are paid out of the re- duced rents, few landlords have enough to maintain their old style. Many are at their wits’ end. All must sooner or later consent, if prices continue low, to a sweeping measure of land reform out of which may be evolved a proprietary of small owners like those of France and like the ancient yeomen of' England. The prospect alarms the territorial aris tocracy, their adherents and imitators. and Mr. James Lowther has put him- self at the head of a movement for the partial restoration of the Corn Law's. He wants a duty on wheat and other food products that rents may be raised at the expense of the forty million con- sumers in the British Islands, many thousands of whom, alas, are already hard set to get: three square meals a day. Anakcd demand for protection to the landlords would be met as it de- served by an indignant people, and so it is proposed to revive the so-called colo- nial policy under which colonial pro- ducts received preferential treatment in the British market, whilst British man- ufacturers received like treatment in the colonial markets. Thus the resnr- rection of the Corn Laws is concealed in a scheme purporting to aim at the consolidation of the empire through a commercial union of its members, with protection against the rest of the world. In reality England is to revert to the system which she discarded fifty years ago in order to save the worst land laws in Europe from being pulled to pieces. Sir Charles is an apostle of this pro- gramme, only while he pretends to Can- adian farmers that their exports are to be admitted free, as now, into Liver- pool, while those of foreign countries are to be taxed, he takes care not to tell the Canadian manufacturer that, in return, we will be expected to make sacrifices in behalf of the manufacturers of Britain. The project is one which we- in Can- ada do not control; the ultimate yea or nay must. of course be pronounced by the people of the United Kingdom. Before Sir Charles aces further, there- fore, at any rate before he asks the Canadian elector to consider it an issue at the coming election, he is in honor bound to let us know how British pub- lic men regard it. Mr. Lowther and Col. Howard Vincent are not public man in any serious sense; what they say or think is of little account. Lord Salisbury has insisted over and over again that while the strengthening of the empire is a matter that appeals to the heart of every British subject, an attempt to strengthen it by starving the masses in the mother country for the profit of the home landlord and distant colonial farmer would prove fatal to its integrity. In his famous speech on the French treaty Mr. Chamberlain, reply- ing to the new-protectionists, saidâ€"â€" “ With the growth of intelligence on the part of the working classes, and with the knowledge they now possess of their own power, the reaction against such a policy (a tax on food) would be attended by consequences so serious that I do not like to contemplate them " Mr. Gladstone has denounced the scheme as wild, impracticable and full of danger. Lord Farrer has written a passage occurs: “ Will it conduce to friendly feelings in this country towards Canada if our working classes are told that their food is dearer or that their employment is lessened "â€"-through the diminution of exports sent to pay for. eign countries for their food shipments â€"“ in order to give more profit or more employment to the landowners and far- mers of Canada? And supposing, as is more than probable, that the United States should retaliate and exclude the thirty millions’ Worth of manufactured goods and the many millions' worth of shipping services that We send them, will the loss of that profit and employ- ment make Canada and her peeple dearer to our manufacturers and our workmen ? " “ I can give Sir Charles 'I‘upper, adds Lord Farrer, “ a much easier and more effectual receipt for attracting English settlers to Canada. and keeping them from crossing into the United States when they get there, and that is to relieve them from the heavy and unnecessary tax they now pay to the manufacturers of Ontario by reason of Canada’s protective duties on manufactured goods.” I Sir Charles, to be strictly fair, must likewise tell the public how the prcfet- entinl policy worked in Canada when it was Ill force before. He will find a plain statement of fact in Mr. Gatnble's letter to Earl Greyâ€"Mr. Gamble was a prominent Upper Canadian 'I‘ory and protectionist in the Legislature of old Canadaâ€"to the effect that the estab- lishment of home industries was pre- vented by the favored British compe- tition and the country reduced to the pastoral age, with dulness and signs of premature decay visible all round. Some of the Tories of the British Am- eriqu League were ungrneious enough to add that, in their opinion, the re- duction of the British duty on colonial wheat was really designed to open a back door for the admission of Ameri- can, which found its way in large quan- tities via the St. Lawrence to Liverpool on .forged certificates of origin. The entire Tory party of that day, with a few conspicuous exceptions, clamored for the repeal of the preferential svstem and the adoption of protection to Cuna- dian interests. Sir Charles will not; be allowed to conduct the coming campaign as he conducted the last. on a platform of false pretences. Liberals and Conserv- t'tttves, too, who dread the thought of a I‘upperinn regime, will see that he first of all produces his authority for sug- gesting that if he were Premier of Can- ada England would forthwith alter her fiscal policy. Every Canadian worthy of the name would rejoice to see the empire drawn closer togethrr. That has been the dream and aspiration of many generations of men. Some day it will be realized, but surely not to impoverish the heart to enrich the extremities; What shall be said of this politician who, when the country is waiting to condemn a Cabinet of coercionists‘and “ kickers," anoaymous letter writers and boodlers, that have all but wrecked it and wholly and completely disut'ncud it before the world, seeks to trade on the Well-known loyalty of the Canadian people by putting forward a plan of Imperial Union condemned by all intel- ligent Englishmen outside a handful of the stamp of “ Jinnny " Lowthcr, so that he may obtain a fresh lease for the gang, and, as its new leader. block nat- ural progress and developmentâ€"what, indeed, but that this confidence game is quite in keeping with the rest of his career? -â€"-â€"< â€"-â€". - ...â€".
