"ie-eq-r-r-r-tr-S+-tere-eq-re""'-- mt ['RY’S WIN--- Had a first class, local politician, either Conservative or Liberal. con- tested the riding of Halton, against Premier Drury, he might have had some chance of being elected. Our friend Stephenson, the Premier Drury in Halton County looks to win elections. Bht an unknown man, trom outside t', intruder and was licked before he started Premier Drury's big victory, a1thougiagainst an easy opponent a lot towards strengthening the United Farmers' of Ontario element the province. I There is nothing succeeds like success, and every fresh victory will give the U.F.O. added strength and weld its members closer together. “*WWWW'WW A man who is a deep thinker and who looks into the political economy of the movement will see at once how silly it is tor the leaders of the farm- ers to attempt to strike a blow at the very thing that is making the Labor party successful. WISDOM OF LEADERSHIP NEEDED A little wisdom, on the part of the leaders of the U.F.O. movement would be of great benefit to it at the present time. For instance-the witd'and theoretical statements of Ex-President Hal- bert, on Free Trade "and against the manufacturing industries, -will injure the U.F.O. movement without any chance of doing it any good in any respect. The only way the present Government can hold together in Ontario is by a hard and fast union between the Farmers and the Labor Wen. There is little sense, therefore, in the leaders the manufacturing industries that give employment It looks to me like‘holding out'the hand of good-fellowship with one hand, and,striking a blow beneath the belt with the other hand. "., The whole success of the labor unions and of the Labor party and of the laboring men, as a class, in this country, has been brought about by the tariff against manufactured goods trom other countries. The farmers of today are getting exceedingly high prices for many ot their products that are a1rnosCentirely consumed in Canada-largely by the working classes. _ - A _ _ _ " _ two And the reason that the working classes are able to pay high prices tor thd farmers’ products is because the laboring classes are receiving big wages in manufacturing industries that are protected by our Fiscal Policy. Free Trade, as proposed by some of the leaders ot the U.F.0. would slam the manufacturer, and consequently slam the workingman and eventually would be a slam at the farmer himself, who sells his products to the work- ingrnan. WHY BUY OUT OF CANADA? l t It would do no harm if somebody who is close to the Hon. F. C. Biggs, Minister ot Public Works, would tip him " to the fact that it looks awfully had tor a minister of the Crown to be constantly buying goods in the United States, tor the use of his Department. I see, by reports in the daily papers, that the Hon. Mr. Biggs was down in the United States at a big convention of road-builders and while there bought eight road-building outfits to be shipped to Ontario for use by the Government on the Ontario roads. I am credibly informed that not one article that has been purchased by the Hon. Mr. Biggs,_in the United States, but what could have been procured from several points in Canada. And supposing the Hon. Mr. Biggs could buy those road-building ma- chines at a lower price in the United States, I think he will find, whgl he pays the long-distance freight and then pays fifteen to twenty per cent. ex- change on the Canadian money,-that he could have bought just as cheaply at home, where the money would have gone into the pockets of the Cana- dian workmen and finally found its way .into the pockets of the Canadian farmers, for farm products. _ It there ever was a time in the history of Canada when every man and every corporation and every municipal body should endeavor to keep Cana- dian money in Ontario, and use Canadian goodisythat time is right now. On every article we buy in the United States we have not only to pay the long distance freight, which is exceedingly high; but we have to pay tit- teen per cent., or more, exchange on put money. Now is the time, theretdre, tor every man in Canada to adopt the slogan "Canada tor the Canadians." OVER PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES-- It was only last week that I was reading, in a market report trom New York, dictated by a very high authority on Wall Street, to the effect that there was already a slowing. up of manufacturing in the United States on account of over production. . This losing the case, it is Just as sure as shooting that that state ot affairs will soon spread to Canada, and a sure way to extend and assist that state of affairs is to buy goods in the United States instead of buying them in Canada. , And if it is true that there is over-production in the United States, is not that all the more reason why Canada should keep her tariff walls sub. ficiently high to keep the manufacturers of the United States trom using Canada as a dumping ground and slaughtering market for their surplus? The Yankees have always been noted for making tremendous efforts to get rid of their surplus goods at any old price, just the same as dry-goods merchants who have shopworn goods are anxious to get rid of them even at a loss, sooner than carry them on and take a greater loss later. The free traders will say to United States would be Canadp's The Yankees look upon every dollar lie/has in surplus goods as a dead dollar and if he can find a dumping ground for these surplus goods, he will let them go, irrespective of price, _ _ _. . A A ' That is a sate answer, if there was nobody in Canada but buyers of manufactured goods;-but Canada is a community and every line of business in it, and we have hundreds of different lines, is linked up closely with some other line of business;--and it the buyers of manufactured goods were to rush to the United States to buy their goods, at cheap prices, what would become of the thousands and hundreds ot thousands in this country who are making manufactured goods, and what would become of our immense in- dustries that are turning out manufactured goods by the thousands of tons every Week? ? ? It Canada was used as a dumping ground tor the surplus manufactured goods of the United. States it would completely demoralize every branch of our business, because the business of any country is an enormous circle, and if you destroy or injure any part ot that circle you affect the whole.
