If wire manufacturing plants were at work in Canada supplying the makers of fences with raw material it would be quite a difierent matter, and there would be some excuse for policy that would help a home in- dustry and compel United States Lcompanies to get up their plants to this country. We have a modest tarifl of fifteen per cent upon manu lectured fencing. and while most of the things we buy having been going up, owing to the increased wages and other expenses, prices of fencing have been tending downwards, be- cause of competition between the various manufacturing concerns. If the present satisfactory state of things is interfered with, even in a small degree, there is no chance of‘ farmers reaping benefit, while there 1‘ are very strong evidence that his; fencing operations would be serious-3 ly curtailed. It is a matter of in»: portance that every farmer in the country siould urge upon his to presentative at Ottawa the wisdom of leaving the tarifi upon wire as it has been for a number of years. 1y used in Hm luauufuctuw of farm felluiug To tax the NW material would be to Increase the cast of func- ing.

This, to the far mers in the older parts of the Dom- inion, would mean delaying the re- placing cf the old.wasteful and weed- harboring rail fence, 'perhaps for sev- eral years. and to the settlers on the prairie a formed tax and would natur- dly hinder the pragreszs of stock farming and duirying. quir-r :he purse»: rngulations gal vnmzed iron or s'cel wire N09. 9, 11 and 13 are admitted free of duty These are 1h» grades most extensiw 1y used in the manufacture. nf farn‘ The fencing of our [arms has be come serious problem.
