Borden s statement Morden it is to lie taken As the authoritative deliverance of the conservative party shows 1. That he does not believe that United states goods should be barred business office .3l i out Canada simply because they Job department .14" Are United states goods. 2. That in the Brunch of Canadian manufacturing which is subjected to j the keenest american Competition a i duty of 20 per cent is Nuit e sul Lucient i although As the government statistics very convincingly show this duty is quite Insul Lucient to preserve tie entire Canadian Market for the Home manufacturers. Friday of Torr 10. I i this is where or. Borden s Deli curious admissions by j France on the duty on agricultural or. Borden. Implements lands him. The surround Ings of his new position May doubtless at the j seem a Little strange to him but when the j be Lis bearings he will find him self in the Liberal Camp so far at a ast As the duty on agricultural implements is concerned. The liver thut the Presont moderate these articles is All right it is not More than a Morden on heckler was present stimulus of his questions. Or. Horden commute himself and his party to j two Deti Niu statements which they i will not he permitted to forgot. We quote the incident from the report in j the Teh Gram in order that the conservatives May not question its a j then pity a voice what about uses of free Imp ments by or in Brandon or. Borden those promises were used to defeat our candidates in the a her and what does my Friend think of or Ril Toi who loyally accepted a Compromise Maruf. Which did not Iowa the duty on agr cultural implements although in a Ramon i cried for Ilii a Why arid free implements a a that does not answer my or. Borden to will answer my Friend s question before i sit Down so Cle that there will be no als hold Tariff on As it is. Revenue Tariff yet it gives a certain incidental advantage to the Home prom i manufacturer which enables him to lands be sustained it will be three years before All the lands will by available for taxation. At present the amount of land liable for taxation assuming that this View of the mat Ter is the Correct one is trifling. By this time next year it will he considerable but a judgment will prob ably be rendered in ample time to govern the action of the assessors in making up the assessment Rolls for should the decision be a verse to the Contention of the government a very serious condition of affairs will be brought about which will require the consideration of parliament. In such an event however j there will he no difficulty in assign ing the responsibility for the Situa Tion. It will rest entirely upon the conservative party. On him that he is not the autocrat of the party and that his arrogant As sumption of the right to make its pol icy Over from time to time to suit his changing whims is regarded by the party As an amazing exhibition of nerve. That or. Tarte should now seek to coerce the party by thinly veiled threats is a matter of no sur prise. Nor need anyone be alarmed. The Liberal party has had experience in the past with individuals who gave it the Choice of being ruled or ruined by them hut we notice that it is still doing business at the old stand. It most of the business that is going. There is also a considerable american importation but its does not frighten Thorn since they hold that if Canadian Faiers did not want United states implements they would not buy them. But if or. Riordon believes that so far As agricultural implements Are concerned duties of 20 and per cent Are enough even though they not succeed in keeping out United states imports Why should he not sex Tion about it. T will answer on behalf th9 All along the line of the native party vhf Iii has no k ton it one end and a. Tarte at the he went to outline the policy of adequate Protection to industries. Voice will you raise the or. Horden we will make the duty adequate find if it is now High enough As i believe it is. To nimble manufacturer to make in Canada we will not increase it. I no informed that implements Are As cheap in the makers of agricultural implements in Canada have no exceptional advantages Over other Canadian manufacturers. H they can get along with Low duties Why should manufacturers in other lines of business who already have the advantage of much higher duties be encouraged to ask for More or. Borden in his budget Canada As in Thel Iii try plates so the speech calculated that the average be High Canadian rate of duty against United duty seems the free Tress re part of the inc-1 states goods is 1m.s. Per cent., which is also published he j is nearly 5 per cent More than the cause poin. It i More definite i rate of duty on agricultural simple thar is that of the Tei Ogram Nientsu which or. Borden says is High asked or. L-1 High j. Mae j enough. Therefore surely the regular Donal s of free Carmol be regarded As too Low. I truest it permits ent Vin Serva live party. H o m found the up Soni duties sufficiently High in warn Jit the a ii facture of the Arti j thus or. Bord ii put the conserva on record on tues two Points j first that free agricultural simple. Rur nos is not. And has not been the j policy of i and Sec Ond. Tha the present duty on Jarri cultural implements is High enough j and would not be raised by the conservatives if had the Power or. Bonien s oration puts or. Hugh John in a very Peculiar position. When the contested Brandon against or. Sifton he was regarded As tie coming Leader of the that time or. was a run his declaration for free was loudly hailed As the policy of the party. Further or. Norrlen. By his statements Stamps or. J. M. Toombs. Who was or. Borden s candidate in the Liscar Bye election last february As an arrant impostor for it will be remembered that he tame out Strong for free agricultural implements in his canvass for votes. He was aided in this attempted Confidence game by or. Nat. Boyd. M.p., and by the Telegram. The latter con tended strongly that the abolition of the duty would cheapen implements 4o the Western Farmer although or. Borden and his lieutenants on Many platforms in the West have Takfai the exactly opposite position. Lorden is in the. Constituency of Lis Cir. And probably everyone who heard or. Borden on wednesday night had a vivid recollection of the contrary doctrine preached eight months ago by or. Toombs. Or. Boyd and the other conservative stumpers. The effect of the conservative declaration must he to completely discredit these in the eyes of the electors of and. People in the West Gene rally. After this surely no conservative candidate or orator will have the audacity to Appeal to Western voters for their support on the ground that their parly is favourable to taking off the duty on agricultural implements. Let us Hope that this trans Parent fraud is at last to be buried out of sight. Still More interesting and valuable is or. I Borden s specific declaration against any increase in the duties on implements. This was a sop thrown lightly to the Tariff reformers of Lis Gar who As the voting last Ary showed number five sixths of the population but it probably did not occur to or. Bordon that in making it he really Laid the file at the Root of most of the protectionist arguments he and his friends have been making to Western audiences. It was. Of course a cruel slap in the face of kit hard Plain . For Peel who peaking at que Appell not ten Days ago. Told his hearers that Canada should prohibit the importation of ploughs binders and other agricultural implements. Between prohibition of importation and a Revenue a rotations from the United states and this is n feature of the Tariff Situa Tion which moved or. Borden to Wrath last session. But be has become much More philosophical on the subject lately. If imports of United states agricultural machinery to the tune of nearly two million dollars a year does not disturb his equanimity Why should he be so mightily disturbed Over much smaller importations in other lines of manufacture we submit the problem for elucidation to or. Borden. S he. Too among the Low Tariff prophets or was lie just talking Buncombe with an Eye on the Western Farmer s vote or is he so mixed and muddled Over the Tariff policy of his party that he does not know where he stands one fad at least is Clear that or. Borden whatever his object talked Low Tariff to the people of Southern Manitoba who Are without doubt More hostile to the policy of High Protection than the residents of any other Section of the Dominion. A Challenge. On saturday last the free press printed a reproduction of a photo graph showing a wrecked Bridge Struc Ture lying in the bed of the tobacco Creek drainage Channel where h has been left Ever since the flood Waters of last Spring lodged it there upside Down. The photograph furnished strik ing and in comestible proof the costly manner in which the present provincial government is misusing the Boyne Marsh District drainage fund everything being allowed to go by default except the planning and carrying out of dredging jobs on which a fat profit is reaped. A result to which the damming of the tobacco Creek by this wrecked Bridge has Luric by contributed has been the silting up of the Channel which has been reduced to less than half of its carrying capacity. The work that would have prevented this is work on which there is not nearly so much profit As there is on the dredging jobs of the Wiist season. The same is True of the work of remedy ing the present disgraceful condition of the tobacco Creek Channel which will have to be remedied in the future at a Cost of Many thousands of dollars. Meantime the present government is hastening to use up the drainage Trust fund. The Only reply which the govern ment s newspaper has made to the free Tress exposures is to declare that the wrecked Bridge is not a Bridge at All. But the Hull of a or As it has been making it for the last Day or two a this of course is simply an impudent falsehood on the part of the Telegram. The free press challenges or. George a. Simp son the present chief Engineer of the near thu ii of Public works Wiio is the person responsible for the stale of disclosed by the photograph to declare Over his signature that the wrecked Structure is not a Bridge. In my last he showed himself very ready to Rush into print with a signed state ment dirtied against the free 1 Ress of Boyne Marsh robbery lie has had reason since to repent of Hir rashness and his attempt to save is face behind the coat tails of a contractor in regard to the placing of the flood Gates in the dam has been a most humiliating exhibition on his part. It is no the fact of the wrecked Bridge being a Bridge that is import ant. The letting of it lie where the Hood Waters lodged ii. The result ing damage to the drainage Channel is what is important. If it were the Hull of a the culpability of the department would Only be All the greater. But or. Simpson will not say Over his name that it is the Hull of a neither will be say Over his name that it is a the North country or. Keeler finds much Good land but poor roads. Or. J. P.

They do not relish having j their ignorance about matters of first j Rule importance happening at their j own doors proclaimed to the world. The free press article Shou Ert very plainly that no charge of delay can lie against the Dominion government in this mutter. Taxes cannot be sued for until they Are due it is the Universal custom to make de mands for these payments in the fall. When the Dominion government arranged with the municipality of North i press to assess Helon Pink to the c. P. R. It set in Ai Tion a series of events which will end. In the near future in a judgment on this mat Ter of tax exemptions. The c. P. Ii. I have understood from the outset that this action by the Dominion govern i Niento was the first step in Tho test i Case but it is quite obvious that the Case cannot be tried until the railway i corporation occupies the position of being in arrears for taxes. The i Ter could not have been expedited in i any Way and the complaints that Are being made about the relay that has i taken place Are entirely unreason i .

Lher instigation that the municipal Ivy had not included it in its Roll of taxable lands and it was necessary to ask the Council to hold a special meeting to remedy this in order that it might be practicable to get a. Case before the courts during the present year. A test Case for taxes due on last year s assessment was not feasible and the Only thing to be done was to arrange for a Case on the basis of taxes for 1002. When the matter gets before the Blain. 51.p. From that assumed by r. L. I Borden on behalf of the conserva Tive party. Or. Forden Purs himself on record As holding to the opinion that the present duties on agricultural implements Are High enough. These duties Are 20 per cent on binders mowers cultivators ploughs harrows horse rakes seed drills manure spreaders and per cent on the smaller implements. Our importations these come almost entirely from the United states. Last year our importations from the United states of articles aggregated in value Over largest in courts it will be pressed to a conclusion and a judgment May be looked for in ample time to protect the municipalities from any loss.
