Mr. RAYMOND:

The reason the work

has ceased is because the goods are manufactured, all the warehouses are filled, and until those goods are disposed of the factories naturally will make no more.

Mr. BRETHEN:

My hon. friend has

just made the statement that the prosperity of his constituency depended upon the implement manufacturers. Does it not depend upon the ability of the farmer to buy those goods in the manufacturers' warehouses?

Mr. RAYMOND:

I believe so. I believe every one of them has been with this exception: I do not think the Windmill has actually shut right down.

Mr. RAYMOND:

Naturally, the twine

factory operates under free trade, hut I doubt whether the hon. gentleman understands the situation, although it was explained in the House a few weeks ago. There were twenty- four hinder twine factories working against one another and keeping down the price of binder twine for the farmers in Canada; they were all in competition. However, when the duty was taken off these were all put out of business but three, so there was no competition amongst our Canadian factories, -that ceased. The industry was then in the hands of the American combine, and when they got these factories out of the business they raised the price to the farmers and you have to pay more for your binder twine than you would have if the factories alluded to had stayed in the country. That is the actual fact, and every

The Budget

Mr. Raymond

farmer knows it just as well as I know it. There are no other binder twine factories except, I think, this one in Brantford, and one in Welland. The farmers also know that the price of binder twine is fixed by the combine in the United States; and if ever it happens that they have a surplus of binder twine they could possibly put these factories, too, out of business. But the danger the farmers are in is this: if they have a shortage of binder twine in the United States and there is a shortage of binder twine also in Canada the farmers here will not be able to get it because there are not enough factories in this country to meet the demand.
