OLINGING TO. Iii t NOEOX.,'3t,
Canada has again be u thrown into
'temporary turmoil, bu especially in
Manitoba ,have hostile feelings been
engendered `and fanned y the grasping
. monopoly of the C. R. and its
evident unwillingness 'o abandon its
injurious and exaolusi\ ; privileges in
the Northwest. It will • e remembered
that when the Manito ca Governanent
chartered and began e e construction
of the Red. River rails ay the 0. F. R,
G objected to crossings : eing made over.
• its. line. The Domin on Government
vetoed the charter, bu when provincial
indignation was stro gly manifested,.
_after tedious delays and vacillations,
.terms of settlement were drawn up.
The Federal Govern , eat guaranteed
a loan of ,;15,000,010 to the O. P. It.
to purchase the onopoly. Some,
with grave assutupt'sus of hardihood,
deny that the taa-. of the present
onlbroglio was the. _ in question or
,that provision was hen *lade for the
avoidance of a diM' ulty similar to the
present. To show that the arrauge-
aneet made was hen accepted by
.Government, Com, any and people as
proof that the rn nopoly clauses were
-abandoned and el opposition to come�
peting lines disavwed, we have burr to
quote Sir Chas. Tupper's words on
iutrodueing his esolutions granting
the fifteen milli n concession. He

" What they (t e 0, P. It:Co.) stated
to us : Fe ; t e importance of this
question being s: tled,we are prepared
to have this mo opoly disposed of at
once and forev r, and to meet any
competition tha can be brought into
the country, a d further. to give
abundant secur'ty, security so ample
as to remove the slightest possibility of
doubt of the t overnment of Canada
ever befog call on to contribute one
dollar in relat on to this question, if
the Governme t of Canada will lend
us their credit, After
discussion, we found that, by giving a'
guarantee for : fly years fur th,e pay-
ment of the '. terest on the C. P. R.
land grant b ods at 3. per cent, on
$15,000,000 s e would obtain the con-
sent of the Co pany to take this clause
out of the c ntract, and loave that
country free to railway operations
from any vane whatever, and so
entirely ram•ve the whole difficulty
connected ith the gentian of
monopoly."
said ;
But, in fa of this plain statement,
Ave have th C. P. R. renewing their
hostility to competing lines in the
most offensiv ',uncompromising fashion.
This is don solely on a legal techni-
cality. Th C. P. R. has scored a
victory at p esont in obtaining their
applied for i junction. But the cause
of the prof' ee must eventually pre-
vail. The c ossing will be obtained.
It is possi. o the Dominion may bo

Comment ug on this the Mail says :
The beam •g of these reductions upon

cents per 1 undred on first-class freight
between T. route and Winnipeg is a
saving of 02 per car. The friends
of monop•iy were telling us this time
last year that tho admission of the
Northern 'aeifie to Manitoba would
cut off On.,rio trade with the North-
West and end it all to St. Paul:,
A reductio of $82 on the carload of

the West surely not calculated to
load in that direction.
