FRIDAY, FEB.. 15, 1884,
A GRANGE MEMORIALIZES.
It is to be hoped the movement men-
tioned below is only the beginning of a
work on belialt of the country's interest,
that shall not cease till every Grange Di-
vision ttiroii heat the Dominion has giv-
en .situller
iv-en.similer instructions fi ire Muster sill$'
Secretary. There is no tithe to lose, as
the raiders upon the treasury are aware
that Ville people of the country ere per-
mitted time to fully look into the matter,
their chances of making a haul will soon
become very small indeed. If the ques-
tion is looked at from 'a purely patriotic
standpoint it will be,seene clearly that to.
grant aid will not only be a great loss, but
it will be strengthening a monopoly that
is even now inimical to the liberties and
temporal interests of the people.
EvpnRASIA, Feb. 7,—At the meeting
of the Grey Division Grange; held here
to -day, the delegates unanimously instruc
ted their Worthy Master and Worthy Sec-
retary to memorialize the Dominion Gov-
ernment to grant no further aid to the
Canada Pacific Railway Company. The
The
meeting was composed of prominent agri-
culturists in the county of Grey, some be-
ing well-known Conservatives, others pro-
minent Reformers, all being agreed that
the proposition to grant .further aid to
this corporation was one which would.be
resented by the farmers generally.
The Grand Trunk Railway Company,
have entered a formal pretest .to Parlia-
ment against the payment or loan of•any.
more money by government to the C. P.
R. Co., as they consider it unjust towards
other railroads, and very injurious to the
interests of the.00uutry, knowing as they
do that a yery large .percentage of the
sum obtained goes to other purposes, and
not to the construction of the road. This
movement on the part of the.G.T,R. may
make matters very complicated, and' if
even -the grant is made by parliament to
the road, it is quite possible they .may..
not get it, and if they do, there is every
possibility that Canada. will have to pay
pretty dear for the money', as she will
have to borrow it in. England, :aed'the
t;rand Trunk will use strenuous effortsto
prevent the floating el the. bonds. `
