year 1863, and b per cent. of that trade the person who would circulate thesame
would be gladly seized upon by any rail-
way company from • lake port nowadays.
The lake carrying trade in 1863, inde-
pendent ..f lumbering vessels and beats
employed in the «eat trade, consisted of
9 propellers and 32 smiling remelt. Be-
tween 300 and 40x0 sailors were rti uired
to man the vessels. and about 100 addi-
tional men found steady employment at
high wages worki.ig at the dock.
What has brought ablest the change
which has proved so detrimental to (3od-
*ricb t The answer a an easy one, al-
though it is not generally known : The
town has been "boycotted" by the G. T.
R. Why ! Because in the lease made
*assumedwhen the G. T. R. *assumed the R. &
H. It it was distinctly stipulated that
100 per cent. of all profits made by the
road, up to a certain amount, should be
the portion .1 G. T. R.: and that if the
traffic profits of the line went over that
amount, then 40 per cent. of the over -
plus profits would go to the original
shareholders of the B. & L. H. R., and
60 ver cent. to the G. T. R. The G. T.
R has, therefore, seen to it that no
money bas been made for the original
shareholders. and to this end have
striven by every means to divert trade
from the B. d- L H. branch at (lode -
rich to the main line of the 0 T. R.
at Sarnia.
The foregoing is the cause of the com-
mercial depression "4 Goderich, and
every man who has tide interest of the
town it heart un.,rt.�Ilis mind to
face the difficulty and fight against the
injustice. The G. T. R., by diverting
lake trade from Godench make in two
ways : They save 40 p. c. by keeping
the receipts of the 'ire below a certain
amount ; and by running freight tram

Will be cleared by the G. T. R. Thus it
will be seen that it is not in the interest
of the G. T. R. t.. use effort to build up

The Ottawa fret Prams has the follow-
ing regarding the action taken by the
Government in regard to the above peti-
tion :-
About two weeks .ince Mr. McGibbon,
for the esti-Soottitea, bodged the repeal
tediums in the Departwaest of State. It
pared from the department b the Privy
Council inside of two boon. This was a
repeal petition, remember ; but petitions
demanding a vote on the submission of
the act. have invariable been dealt with
only after two w four months considera-
tion. The latter petition, were fur sub-
mission of the act and not for repeal.
Hence the delay. The Government's
sympathies on this question may be
judged by their activity on the repeal
petition. Two weeks ago, when the
repeal petition after two haus' delay
reached the privy council by an accident
then was no quorum. If these had been
• quorum Mr. John Carling would have
pushed it through at that sitting. The
delay enabled the temperance people to
present their counter petition the next
day. They were astonished at the Gov-
ernment's wanderful activity and asked
three weeks grace to prepare evidence.
This was refused but two weeks were
granted. Next the Government were
asked t.. receive a representative depots -
nun of temperance people from the
county, but the Government declined,on
the ground there were not enough min-
isters at the Capital. Let our readers
note this ' There were not ministers
