THIS paraphlet has been published that the farmers of
MaDitoba and the North West may better understand the
object aimed at by the " Manitoba and North West Farmers
Union," and to furnish a correct account of the prcceedmgs
of the late Convention at Winnipeg.
■ Induced by the representations of the Dominion Gov-

ernment, thousands of us have during the last four or five
years braved the many difficulties and expenses of
reaching this country. We have hopefully faced the
hardships of isolation and of a rigorous climate, and have
been and are still vjrilling to contend manfully with the
natural disadvantages of onr new location.
^ Now, however, that we have for the first time, a surplus

■' of grain, we have discovered that the prices we obtain are
not sufficieut to cover the cost of production, and that we are
lace to face with the fact that nothwithstauding all our labor
and outlay we can barely subsist.

We are therefore compelled to consider seriously the
causes of such a disastrous condition of affairs, and to deter-
mine on the means of saving ourselves, if possible, from ab-
solute ruin.

No doubt a combination of unfavorable circumstances,
such as early and lievcre frosts, togethei with imperfect ar-
rangements for saving and marketing grain, havo this season
aggravated the farmer's condition and contributed to his
discontent. Yet the fact remains that those of us whose
crops were untouched by frost and who were at the same
time most conveniently situated as to markets, realized little
or no profit on our produce. Our distance from the groat
markets of the world, the length and severity of our winters,

./

{:4b(ji)o

6

and the scarcity of liirl, must to a threat extent neutralize

the exceptional advantages we enjoy of an easily cultivated

and exceedingly productive soil. Such drawbacks are for

the present unavoidable and would be borne by us 'vitli
patience.

In addition to these, however, we find ourselves weighed
down by the excessive charges of a railway monopoly, forced
on us in despite of an Act of the Imperial ParUament m utter
disregard of the urgent needs of a young and growing com-
munity. "Wc find the lands of Manitoba, guaranteed to her
by eveiy principle of provincial equality, withheld from us
by a Government, whose vasciilating land policy has diverted
the stream of immigration from our boundaries.

We find, too, an 'oppressive tariff which, however bene-
ficial it may be to the manufacturing Eastern Provinces, can
not fail to be innnical to the interests of a purely agricultural
country such asjthis.

It is plain that there are grievances which ought not to
be borne without remonstrances — resistance if necessary.
But we ])elieve that]!a fair representation of our condition,
backed by a stern determination to have it remedied, will
secure, for^us such universal sympathy and respect as will
break down everylobstacle to our ultimato success.

Let us tlien continue to work, as we have begun, keeping
in view those rights we .have inherited as subjects of a con-
stitutional monarchy, which can alone secure to this country
that liberty upon which depends its prosperity. Nay, more,
its peace, disregarding, as wo are bound to do at such a crisis,
party divisions and tactics, and directing our intelligence and
energy so as to secure the common good.

At a meotmg of Farmers held in the city of Brandon on
the 20th of November, it was resolved to hold a Farmers
Convention in tbe.city of Winnipeg o he lUth of December.

last Circulars to that effect were accordinj^ly sent to every
post office in Manitoba and the North West.

Meetings of citizens were iield in the towns of Emerson,
Portage, Nelson, Manitou, and other places, at which resolutions
were passed in sympathy with tho movement, and delegates
appointed to attend the Convention.

The city ot Winnipeg was also to some extent repre-
sented. The members of the Board of Trade, at a special
meeting held for that purpose, passed a resolution to the
effect that they recognized the farmers' grievances and sym-
pathized with the objects of the Convention. The Manitoba
Rights League, an association which has existed for some
months in that city, sent six delegates, and rendered every
assistance in their power to make the Convention a success.
Nothwithstanding the severity of the weather and the fact
that the running of trains was very irregular, more than]_100
representatives from various sections of the Provincejwere
present, and the following constitution was adopted :

The reports of delegates from the different sections of
the country displayed a wonderful unanimity as to the griev-
ances from which they were sufferi g and tlieir causes. It was
felt that this feeling should find expression in the form of a
Declaration of Rights, and accordingly affcer a lengthy dis-
cussion on the various clauses, it was finally settled in the
following form : —

DE4'LAKATION OF RICiHTH,

Whereas, in view of the present depression in agricul-
iral and commercial industries in the Province of Manitoba,
|he farmers of the Province have assembled for the purpose
[>t expressing their views upon the causes of the said depres-
Mon and the means of removing the same.

And, whereas, the present and future prosperity of this
*rovince depends both commercially and otherwise uj)on the
mccessful prosecution of agriculture.

And, whereas, numerous and embarrassing restrictions
are placed upon the t;fforts made bv the settlers to extend
[their operations and improve their condition.

And, whereas, such restrictions are unjust and unneces-
[Sary, and have been continued in detianco of the just rights
'of Manitoba. ^

And, whereas, some of the said restrictions consist of
the oppressive duty upon agiicultural implements, the mon-
opoly of tho carrying trade now enjoyed by the Canadian
Pacific Railwav Company, and the improper and vexntious
methods employed in the administration of the public lands
of Mamioba.

And, whereas, the inhabitants of Manitoba arc Britisli
subjects, and have made their homes here upon tho vepre-
sentation that they would bu allowed all the privileges
which, as such subjects, the}' would elsewhere in Canada l)o
entitled to, and it appears that by the terms of the admission
of Manitoba into Confederation they should be allowed such
rights and i)rivileges.

And, whereas, they are denied such rights, and they find
lihat the representative system of the Province is such that
they are practically denied the privilege of securing the
redress of their grievances through their tepresontativos
in the Provincial or Dominion Parliaments.

10

f-.

And, whereas, a larjjje iiroportiou of the bu'^iness ql IlkJ
Dominion Government is wholly connected with Mai^ndbu
and the Northwest, especially tlie important Departnlilili
of the MiniHter of llailwayR, Public Works, Iramigratioi|>H|||l
Agriculture, which should i)e eoutrolletl by our proviMiy
legislatun;. *^"

And, whereas, it is the right of every Britisli sn
to call the attention of the constituted authorities to
existence of abuses and wrongs :

Thoeforc bo it resolved that this Convention demands:

1. The riuht of the Local Geverimient to charter raiR
ways anywii(>rc in Manitoba free from int >rfernce, and '''

2. 'j'he Kbsclute control of her i)ublic lands (includiu
school lands) jy the Legislature of the Province, and corn
pensation for lands sold and used for Federal purposes.

ii. That the duty on agricultural implements and build
ing materials be removed, and the customs tariff on article
entering into daily consumption be greatly modified in th
interests of the i)eople of this Pjoviuce and Northwest.

4. The right of representation in the Dominion Cabinet

And that this convention is unaniuiously of opinion tha

the Hudson's Bay Railway should be constructed with th<

least possible delay.

After the passing of the "Declaration" a debate took

place as to the best course to \ c pursued iju order to obtain ti

recognition of the above mentioned Rights, and the followin

esolutious wore finally unanimously a<U)pted.

KKHOIJTIOKH.

1, Resolved, that three commissionerH le elected by
ballot, to proceed to Ottawa at the next session of the Dominion
ParliamoLt, fully authorized to demand for this province our
rights as contained in the foregoing declaration ,

2. That it is of the utmost importance that our represen-
.tivoH in Ottawa should endeavor to combine their effoi m,

^-oKardleHs of party lines, for the purpose of securing redress
^f the grievances set forth in the declaration of rights adopted ^
b) the convention.

8. That the convention empowers the council to corres-
pond with the Ottawa Government and draw their attention
to the excessive rates charged by the C P. R., and ask the
Government to deal with tlie matter.
