AS C OINSF4 RVATIVES FEEL IT.
When tires Reform press speak of the
impositions of the Canada Pacific Railway,
some people of narrow -minds and little in-
telligence charge thou with being preju-
diced to the interests of the country. 'We
could give scores of Conservatives who will
endorse the following extract from a letter
published in a coternporary, and if being
, outspoken on this subject is inimical to tbe
interests of the country, Conservatives
must shoulder theeblarne as well as their
-Opponents. The erefract reads as follows :
AN OPEOItTUNITY MISSED. "Heve"as little as yon can just now to
do with the C. P. R.; they have got too
An exchange has very truly remastked
" that never •in the history of the world
had a leader of a government so grand an•
'opportunity for peoplipg a vast expanse of
country, as had the Premier of Canada,
but he had lost the oPportunity by his no-
wisepolicy."
Thewhowho can thoughtfully, and witbe
o ut -preju c e crica t-the-policy--of-the -
government in reference t� the great north -
vest, will certainly arrive at the same con-.
elusion as the writer of the above extract
hee,
There was a yery large, and in many re-
spects fertile tract of country; which it'
should have been the aim of. the govern-
ment to have settled as seedily as possible
and with the most thrifty class of settlers.
Here was a home for millions, and one
would naturally, suppose that every effort
would be made to induce people to." gain
and possess the land". That no hindrance
or barrier would be raised tie preVentade-
sirable class of settlers making theirehomes
there, but instead of making it easy for
settlers to procure land under* the British
flag, almost everything that has been,
done has had a tendency to driye intend-
ing settlers into the neighboring, republic.
Just for argument's crake allowing the
Syndicate monopoly to pass, and assuming
for the time being, that it has been he
meansof partially opening tip that, conn -
try, what other action has the govern-
ment done towards facilitating Settlement:
is there a solitary thieg that has been
done with this end in view ? :Speakieg
equally from observation, experience and
information, we , say emphatically -No.
The placing of such largetracts ef lands
in the hands of colonization companies,
was ope of the worst things that happened
the northwest, and the people. who are
now in that country know this tu their
sorrow.
While the land shotild have heen given
to the actnalmettler in all cases, because it
was bought with the money of the peoPle
of Canada, the placing of it i4 the hands
of these societies enables them to ask a
price for it which many are not in a posi-
tomm_y_morehelciernaiLameh aeetismemas•
they can get a higher price for it The
argument is advanced that these.Coloniza-
tion Soeieties must have acertain number
of settlers on their lands by a fixed: tirne,'
or forfeit them. But this is a matter
easily overconie. If .they don't have the
aettlers they wont forfeit it -they will
find a method of squeezing out of the diffi-
culty, and the government will condOne
the method. .
Then again the land regulations haveben
everything. but favorable for the 'settler,
and they have leen changed so often'. that
would•be settlers have become so tho-
roughly disglisted, and, by the' thousands,
have Crossed an imaginary line and become,
citizens of the United
-We can get Csnservatiyeadiy the- score
Who will admit that in • this respect the
government has been woefully Wrong in
much to do, and haven't time to attend to
you. In a year or two, perhaps, the great
rush will be over, and they, trill have more
time on their hands, when they. will, no
doubt, be very willing and accommodating
and a little nore moderate in,their charges.

pany of millionaires have directly and in-
directly robbed thousands just as I have
been robbed, and it is becanse /am a Con-
servative, and wish for the conservation of

The following paragra.ph from the -Win-
nipeg, Sun (Conservative) requires no corns
ment,;further than to sta.teethat it -is a fair
index of the senternents of Winnipeg
people:--
" It might be as well to accept as the
inevitable, now as later, that this C. P. R.
Syndicate monopoly must cease. The
people of this country will not tolerate it
much longer, and the Government at
Ottawa must lookthesolemn fact fair in
the face." •
