It is ! known fact that railway charters ha 0 overn- ry, ir- d far ,t that e very ceders .ruin untry, extent bank - would have n would from t have 100 to fault As pro Chat ness d been opt idle ever since it was bought., Since idling has become, so unprofitable in Outer o, .the Goderich mill, which coat $130,0 )0, has been etanding idle for the last five y ars, and is now offered for sale for $25,00 . The Seaforth mill, which must have • oat $50,000 or $60,000, has lately been s Id for $15,000, with $2,000 or $3,000 worth of loome property thrown in. It does look s range that such a wealthy firm ehould be Hae ifieing their property at a time when the co ntry eo prosperous, when building meter al is fifty per (tent. higher than it was three ears ago. The came) of the depres. sion i milling in Ontario is not far to flnd. Altho gh this •firm are slaughtering their Ontari property, it is reported they are going o build one of the largest milli, in the Dominion at Fort William. The fact of the matte is, the Lord only know a what rates and hat privileges the Ogilvie Milling Comp ny and the Lake of the Woods Com' Company enjoy. It is only a short time since t :e latter company sent free passes and $10 t the men who have charge of their °levet re to go to the show in Winnipeg. These wo firm have now over 50 elevators each. As history often repeats itself—I doubt these two firma in shipping eir elevators to their mills get from 300 bushele carried free in each car.

The farmers who grow it will not use it for bread without having a certain amount of Manitoba in it, and the fact that bran, shorts, flour, peas and wheat, last season were all about the same price, shows that the wheat was better adapted for feeding pigs than making first -clams our. It is just as necessary to have firet-clase quality in grain and flour as it is to have it in cheese, butter, bacon or anything else, to bring a first•olass'price in the British mar. kets. There is no market in the world where quality commands such a premium and none where poor quality is so badly slaughtered. The only way our Model farms can fully recoup the country is in try- ing to introduce 'the beat of everything. Wheat to -day is worth 10 cents less tor milling than it was 10 years ago, and 15 cents less than in the days of the old fife. Quality in wheat is necessary to keep mills going full time, if for nothing elee than to cheapen bran and Rheas so as to make dairying and pig raising, two greet indus- tries, profitable. The Millers' Association have imported 20,000 bushels of "Turkey red" wheat from Kansas this fall, for seed. The Model farm people are not in favor of it on aociount of its straw, but it is wheat and not straw the millers are after. It is to be hoped it will do as well here as it has done in Kansas. This season some counties have an average yield of 35 and 40 bushels to the acre the yield being over eighty mil-, lions for the State. There has been such an immense crop in that part of the conti- nent that the failure in Manitoba in the Dakotas and in several other - fall wheat states has not had the effect of advanoiog price's, the quality ef the whet being so good it is taking the place of No 1 and No. 2 hard. With plenty of suchl wheat and just freight rates, Ontario millers ought- to prosper. The Government deilves the thanks of the country for havingl the grit to oompel the Grand Trunk Railway to cancel the rates given to the Standard 0 1 Company to enable Mr. Rockfeller to mo opoliza the oil trade of the country. Since they have put their hands to the plow the must not look back. There are other mon polies just as dangerous. Mr. Rockfeller doe not get monopolies for nothing and Pr mier Rose makes a mistake in giving Brot er Hays a certificate of character for hie a e manage- ment of the road. • We are told that blood is thicker than water. In this c se it seems to be reversed. The policy of Mr. Hay. is to rob this province out of the benefits in- herent to it on account of its geographical position, by carrying American grain nearly double the distance forsloss than he carries our own. It is a perfect outrage that it costs nearly as muoh to ship a car 10 miles over roads that the people built with their own money, as it does to ship fron Chicago to Portland, a dietetic:3,ot 1,200 milee, and worse than all, they are promptlp supplied with cars and get genuine reoei ts for the amount, whereas we have to wait i for weeks for oars and have to take a bogus receipt for the amount, shipped. Canadian railway competition is putting hundreds of millions of dollars into the pockets of the American farmers. The Americans excel in forming trust e and ,com- bines for the purpose of making trioney out of the consumer. What a blessing it would be to this country if their rail oads were allowed to rob the farmers, th;, same as our roads are robbing the farm rs of this country. We would then be in la position to oompete with them in the world's mar- kets on equal footing. The coat of carriage to 'market determines the value of tho pro- duct to the producer and would put mil- lions and millions of dollars extra into the pockets of our farmers yearly. It is a slur on the people of this country that we have to import two Americans at a ye rly cost of $100,000 to introduce the Americ n methods of railroading, which consists n making themselves and the rich richer— t the ex- pense of the producer. This tra sportation question is the most important that is he - ore the country to.day. The L berale are pledged to deal with with it, an1 will ap- point 'commissioners or detectives to see that butliness is conducted according t law and that our railroads must be run i the in. tercet of the country instead of th t of indi- viduals and corporations wh reas Sir Charles Tupper objects to any Government interference and is perfectly willi g to hand over the government of the country to two Yankees SO long no they use their influence in putting the -Tory party, in power and keeping them there.
