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.

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.

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 Sarnia, ,.160 miles from Toronto instead of front Goderich . 13.1 miles from Toron- to) more mileage r made by the «ne- pany from traffic on the main line. The Isms lake trade don. at Goderich the more there will be at Sarnia, and the more money Will be cleared by the G. T. R. Thus it will be seen that it is not in the interest of the G. T.

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.
