For several years, however. the l’armers' belief in this solidarity of interest has been rudely shaken. The products of the farm have been steadily declining in value, while the manufactures otcities have in the same time reached the highest price. Naturally enough, therefore, the Farmers are now beginning to say: \\'e have long excluded all articles of foreign manufacture from Canadian markets in order to build up industries essentially peculiar to Cities and towns. “he were ask- ed to give our native industries a trial, to shield their_tender infancy from the ills of rude competition from abroad. By this time, ifever, the infant must have reached a sturdy and vigorous youth. Mean- while. we have been steadily losing ground. Our devotion to what we believed to be the best Interests of the country has cost us dear. Now we ask, in turn, a chance tor our- selves. Give us a trial of Unre- stricted Reciprocity. The benefit to us will be immense. \Ye require it all. It there is no dividing line between the interests of the city and those oi the country, manufacturers cannot fail to share in the common benefit. Surely this is a most reasonable request. Greed may. and undoubt edly will, do its utmost to refuse it. 'Ihe spirit of monopoly. alwavs selfish and callous, will fight agdiust i:. Politicians,cspecially those of We take it that as soon as the ag- ricultural class has come to a prac- tical conclusion on these two ques- tions, the enemies of Unrestricted Reciprocity will be forced to resort to weapons different from ridicule, abuse, impudence and positive slander. They will learn that there are other ambitions besides that of stimulating the growth of cities, and that of augmenting the number of tnose whose great aim is to be mil- lionaires. Hitherto when murmurs have arisen on these heads, Farmers have been told that their complaints are as unreasonable as those made against the stomach by the other members of the body. City and country have a single and undivided interest, was the cry. \Vhat helps one must help the other. What is detrimental to one must hurt the other. and strength are beyond a doubt. \Ve trust that there will be no un- due haste in bringing about this vast change in our commercial re- lations. Farmersfivdeed. as a class are not apt to be enthusiasts. All that they achieve, all that they gain, is due to longâ€"sustained efforts, to stubborn perseverance. and to cal- culations based primarily on the lapse of years. On the other hand, Farmers, beyond all others, are ten- aclous of what they have convmced themselves is right and advanta- geous. Slow to be moved, thev proceed steadily and unwearedly to the goal, when once the necessary impetus has been imparted to them. ILIV‘HMUNBfilLllirlfilrsdav, jnly 14,7 At present Farmers are revolving two simple yet important questions. The first is: Why should we be weighed down with taxes in order that mechanics may obtain a bare livelihood and that employers of mechanics may accumulate vast fortunes? The second is: If an increase in the number of his cus- tomers be good (or up merchant, how can asimilar increase fail to benefit us ? \Vith greated rapidity than was to be expected among a people wedded to the idols of party, the idea of Unrestricted Reciprocity with the United States has taken root, and already its ramifications Oats Wantedâ€"W.
