Canada’s textile trade appearing in Eastern papers. It is declared that with some ) woollen and knitting mills scattered throughgpt the Dominion, business is worse than depressed; that, in fact, a serious situation faces this industry, Yet the textile industry is one of the protected industries of Canada. True, it claims that its tariff protection is not suffictently great, and the chief burden of 48 present complaint is under existing conditions, the Canadian industry cannot compete succe with the mills of Great Britain and the continent of Europe. should be raised in order to rest them out altogether. : But could the Canadian mills succeed If the tarlif was made twice ms It now fs? According to the authority quoted in the re ferred to, Canadian mills are every bit as eMficient as those of Yorkshire, that! climatically Canada is well adapted to the business of spinning and weaving. and that our Canadian workmen and workwomen are equally well qualified for the work. Then what is the difficulty? In the first place, it is stated that the been sadly neglected, that we should ha y be devoted to a recent review isfuily So the tariff et such Importations into Canada or keep | as high | heep raising Intlust As a consequence Canadian mills are for which no less than $35,000,000 was Area supports twenty-four million forced to a noee their raw materials, paid in 192: The idecont diMcuity confronting the Canadian mills is said to be the egst of labor, pod it is pointed out that wages paid in the textile mills of Great Britain are only one-half those paiil in Canada, while on the Continent wages » for these workers are only one-quarter of what is paid in this country, and, inasmuch as the labor bills in these mills approximates the terials, that it is easy to figure out why cessfully with British and foreign mills. In the third place it is pointed out that the tariff on woollens and knit goods entering Canada has been lowered rather than raised during recent years. What the Canadian textile industry lacks, therefore, as set forth in this Teylew, is homegrown raw materials, cheap labor and sufficient protection! against British and foreign goods. There are two ways by which cheaper labor can be secured in Canada. cost of raw ma- Canadian mills cannot compete suc- One is by reducing the higher standard of liying prevailing in Canada as com-| dealer in mediciné, or b: pared with Great Britain and the Continent, but the Canadian workman and Workwonrin do not wish to have their standard of liying lowered, nor do the people of Canada as a whole desire it. Such a retrograde step would never be welcomed in this country, It would be bad business for the whole Dominion. The other way is to reduce the tariff on all those things which the workérs must buy, and (hus, while not reducing the standard of livin, ent abnormally high costs. If it did not cost the work decency, provide for and educate his children and make prov! age, he could afford to accept a somewhat lower wage. But so long as the worker has to pay top prices for hing he must buy, just so long must he be paid higher wages, and higher wages than in Great Britain and elsewhere where artificial means are not employed to protect industries and thereby increase the cost of living for everybody. And how is the sheep ing industry in Canada to be encouraged? Much as they believe In tariff protection for themselves, the textile manufacture: would hardly welcome the imposition of high tariff duties on raw wool. Their! complaint is that they have to pay too much now, and they want to be able to get the home-grown article in sufficient quantities at lower prices. But ‘how ts the Canadian sheep raiser to increase his flocks and produce larg! quantities of cheaper wool, and at the same time be forced to buy clothing, lumber, hardware, boots and shoes, food and other supplies in a highly pro. tected market and pay the high wages necessary to bis employees likewise forced to buy in that self-same protected@market"gith its resultant high prices for everything? Protection through tariffs is not a principle. What is one man's raw material is another man’: moment protection afforded to the one to help his particular branch of in- dustry it works injustice on another, and when he, in turn, fs protected, an} injustice is perpetrated on a third person or industry. ~ Protection thus be- comes a vicious circle. The textile industry furnishes a concrete Wool is the finished product of the sheep raiser. Protect it and you increase the cost of the raw material of the textile manufacturer. Woollen goods and yarns are the finished product of the manufacturer, but they are the raw materials, the hecessities of life, of fhe average male and female worker. Protect them and the worker must demand more for bis labor if Ne is to llve in decency and comfort. And this labor is again the ,xaw material of both the sheep raiser and the manufacture It is artifical and unsound. finished product, and the example of this Piling up tariff protection will never solye the difficulties of the textile industry, nor of any other industry It is economically unsound.

Some suffered again from drought; strous hail storms in some sections ravaged or totally des- troyed the crops; while a cool dry summer resulting in late ripening sea- son, combiied avith a severe frost on September first, reduced grades and yields in many instances to the point which is equally distiint between the extremes %f profit and loss and In others to a point where a loss on the production of the erop was the result. In other words, many crops that haa eyery appearance on the 31st day of August of being profitable to jhetr owners, had to be regarded in ep- tirely different light on the 2nd day of September. Oat and barley crops on y lands were very materially fected by this frost so that at the pr ent momest good seed oats of high germination quality are at a premium. Even with all these drawbacks, prices for ull classes of the past season, which Touch above those of 1923, have had a stimulating effect, and tos my mind, have been largely responsible for the more hopeful outlook which is now prevalent, is true that the closest Mossible ®stimates, conservatively made, place the total value of the grain crops of the province at round- ly $11,000,000 less in 1924 than in 1923, or a reduction of something ov: 5 per cent., while the same estimates « the yalue of the portion of the ri have ori about $20,000,000 less than in 1923, or a reduction of about 9 per cent, never- theless It cannot be denied that a net a 100 for 1,000 bush- els of wheat in 1924 as against $650 {n 1923 can have only one effect upon the mind and will of the produce: a to the wheat pool, he stat- Te was a great d ference of opinion as to whether peaild be a success or not, but it al- had to be borne in mind that no ‘het mm of marketing, co-operative or Constipation is Relieved Prompt—Permanent—Reliet CARTER'S LITTLE LAER PILLS rarely fail.

In regard to mixed farming he had the following remarks to make and statistics to give: ‘It has sometimes been ald that we are wasting our time and energy to in- troduce a system of mixed farming into a province that is not naturally adapted to such a system.
