Pringie on the iRailway and Trade To the Editor ()floe .firuron Expositor. Some time since I charged Mr. Hickscin, Manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, with diserim in. rates, and allowing Ogilvie to overload ,cars from S and Goderich. Instead of ing to the charges, he employ Montreal Star, an accomplished dle monger," to say there was no truth whatever in my statements, that it was a attar case d-"brack mall." The c ering,•liowever, was too thin ; besides, it was neither long enough, nor bread enough, as guilty heads and cloven feet are sticking out all round. No better proof is required. that the charges were true than having to resort to such a vile slander. Black " is a criminal offense e if Hickson and Ogilvie & Co. were as innocent as they pretend to be they would. not have acted so leniently with, me. However, an. adieu is now brought against the G. T. for $12,000, for over -Charges on the four years' busi- ness, that Hickson's favorite firm have been doing business here.. This action will prove whether Railways can dis- criminate in rates between regular ship- pers, also whether American produce can have an undue advantage over the prodacts of our own country? The Star a few days aft et had to admit that Ogil- vie 8c Co. had. had special rates from' Goderieh for years past, and defended the G. T. giving advantages so as to draw wheat from the other side ; it also showed hew both the -firm and the coun- try would be ruined unless they Could bring he American' wheat to keep up their trade, as their large mills could not run three months in the year if they had to depend entirely on home grown wheat. -After such an effort at white- washinone would naturally think both. the Star and. the "firm would have used great efforts lately' to save the country and themselves from impendiug ruin, if the present policy of the country was changed. Such,howeveravas not the' CMG, the Star forgot the interests of the country, and, strange to say, the "firm" were willing to sacrifice their valuable mill property and the glorious privilege of grinding No. 3 Chicago, for the sake of the Tory. party-.

In shipping mill feed they were allowed to load cars as full as they would hold. This means that nearly ione-third,(6,000 lbs.) of all the feed they have shipped hes been carried free.
