Now what'would~be_said' if the Gov- ernment esuddenly took away. the tariff protection of a -group of manufactur- ling industries" in which $150,000,000 of capital was; invested? - I I ,,,-L 3.41 1!_.__. LL. ._..1 _.We hear. a` great deal from the pol- iticians about vested rights.

Why should Canadian farmers lose every. vestige of protection for their products while the tari on manu- factured goods remains almost un- touched? If farm products from the United States, the Argentine Repub- lic, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Den- mark, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Japan, 'Australia, New Zealand and other .countries are to come into free com- [petition with Canadian `farm products {in our own home market why, should [not manufactured products come in [free from the same countries? Luv V V vn-U greater. These are the questions which far- mers. throughout Canada _are asking each other now, and they will ask the politicians the same question a little later on. Free trade in farm products and protection for manufactured pro- `ducts is a condition of things that can- not be permanent. . What Will America; Parmer Bay!) va..:..I.LL UV \./\Jo _ .I.

The centre of population is `west of the Five Points, and this fact must be taken into consideration when discussing the change. There, is no doubt that considerable diicultyv may be_ experienced in selecting a suitable `site containing the necessary. four , acres of ground, but the difficulty is not insurmountable. Then the ques- tion of cost may be considered by many to be against the building of a new shcool. However, if the rate- payers were given the question to de- cide there is little doubt but that a .majority vote would be polled in favor of spending $80,000 on a modern -school, centrally located, in preference to handing over $45,000 or '$50,000,for remodelling the present building.

Canadian ~G_`ov`ernmon't~ was that of the fruit growers of `Western Ontario, who `went to `Ottawa `on February 10 to protest` against the -Reciprocity Agree- ment.'_ The `case they presented to the Government was a strong one. They showed that if the Reciprocity Agree- ment was endorsed by the Canadian, Parliament and the.` United States' Congress it would ' reduce thevalue of every eohard in Ontario and ruin thousands of small fruit farmers who 1 -had paid -high prices for their little farms and. spent time and money in planting trees." They showed that many large farms had been sub-divid- ed for fruit-growing purposes, and that new. subdivisions were constantly being made. They said that a farm of one hundred acres which formerly supported only one family, being cut into ten small friut farms, supported ten families. Among other memorials presented by this deputation was the! lfollowihg: ' - l ' largest odeputationoa of ` farmers`. J A '3 !".,9._!=P The grain grower of the prairie` gets his big farm at low `cost, some- times as a free grant; the land is ready for cultivation; the Government sub- sidizes a railway to take the grain to lmarket. The British Columbia fruit farm must rst be cleared of enormous trees; the people of the East and of the prairie provinces can scarcely realize the immense size of British Columbia timber. After the land has been cleared `at great expense and fruit trees planted the farmer must wait for years `for his trees to grow and bear. fruit.

Under the belief that these -conditions would be stable we have not only sunk our . own capital, but have been instru- mental in bringing many of our countrymen here to invest in this growing industry, which, owing to the steady rise `of recent years in. the valiies` of land,`. now `requires a large amount of capital to purchase and equip even the small farms the majority of-fus own, and tohprovide for the maintenance of our families duringsthe years it takes to bring an orchard into bearing. [ Four days after these 0ntario'.._fruit: farmers presented their case to; thei Government Mr. Martin Burrell, mem- ber of Parliament `for Yale1Cariboo, gave the House of Commons a remark- ably `clear and comprehensive state- ment of the a position. of the fruit growers in all the provinces of .Can- uada, giving special attention, of course,l to his own province of British Co1um-; obia, which has made wonderful pro-` grass in the planting of orchards=dur- ping the last ten years. Mr. Burrell` has devoted twenty-eight years of his life to the practical. work of fruit growing. No man in Canada has a better knowledge of the question. I `An- | In- 1901 there were` 567,000 fruit `trees in British Columbia, according, to the Dominion census.

Danes, Swedes, Nor- lwegians, Spaniards, Australians, New Zealandersand a host of other food .producers dumping their surplus pro- ducts into the `Canadian market what will there be left for us? They will complain that Canadians will try to `relieve their glutted markets by ship- ping some of this foreign stuff into the United States, and indeed it will be very difficult for the United States Government to prevent them doing Iso. How will United States customs oicials be able to distinguish between Canadian farm products and the for- eign food that will be dumped on the Canadian market? Dishonest men in ,both Canada and the United` States will take advantage of the situation. On the other hand honest Canadian ,c:~:porters will often be suspected of ifraud. American customs oicials will [sometimes charge that good, honest, i(`.-anadian eggs, butter, cheese, e`tc.,_ come from Argentina, Siberia, or some lather outlandish place that has been 'given the right. to send its farm, pro- ducts freely into Canada. Bitter con- troversies will arise.
