SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, lune 10,1904,
been ratified by Parliament, only
impose on the country the expense of
the construction of the eastern' sec-
tion and get rid. of the cost. and risk
of constructing the weitern section
and of operating the whole road.
Aiid be it remembered, the country
will reap the same advantages from
the scheme under the one system as
under the ether. This is a faire
'straight statement of the case and
it should not take senetble people
Jong to make up their rifiretLe as to
which plan they „wilt vote in favor
The Rival Policies
Mr. Borden, the leader of the
Comervetive party in the Dominion
Parlherit, made s bold stroke
when he declared in favor of public
ownership and operation a the
new traersecontinental railway, and
bound his party to his new chariot
by a resolution, and foreing them
to vote for it without a discenting
It.was good politics on the
part of Mr. Borden, and shove% bim
'tobe a shrewd leader, almost equal
l'o
our own Sif Wilfrid. He has
thus got on the crest of what seems
at the present time to be a popular
evave, but which, we hope, will soon
•a•oll by. But, Alr.Borden's proposition
is not really brilliat and so
terircg as some 'Would try to make us
believe. The jist of it is, that the
Intereolonial Railway, which now be-
longs 'to the country, be extended to

• The Dominion Parliament,
The r,vent of the week at Ottawa
was the speech of Mr. Fielding, the
ance Minister, br what is popular-
ly known as the Budget Speech. This
was delivered on Tuesday afternoon,
and, as it diselotted the fiscal' policy
of the Government for this session,
it will furnish fruitful. subjects for
aliscuesion for some weeks. Mr.
Fielding has been remarkably fortun-
ate sineeehis accession to office:Ile
has been able to announce, session
atter session, a series surpluses
of revenue over expenditure, instead,
a, as it was the custom of his prede-
Ithe Pacific Ocean by the Dominion
Government, and that the whole
road shall also be-opertited by the
'Government after the construction
is completed. Of course, there is a
good deal of talk about Government
ownership of all public .utilities, but
Mr. Borden has not yet gone this far
although some would -like to make it
appear that he has. • Ultimately, if
he does not weaken, be may be driv-
en to this point, as this is the logi-
cal culmination of thaseourse he has
taken. But he has not gone this
far ygt, and in justice to himself as
rtvell as to the principle. of public
ownership, this should be clearly
understood. Mr. Borden has .only a-
dopted public ownership and oper-
ation in so tar as the principle re-
lates- to the new Transcontinental
Railway. This being the case, there
is really not so lunch difference be -
Sween himself and his opponents as
one would at first blush suppose.
Mr. Borden says that the country,
having agreed to assume three
foterths of the risk of :the western
section of the Grand Trunk Pacific
and get -nothing for it; it would be
better to pay the whole cost of the
road and fget the whole road; This
is _as far as Mr. Borden has yet
one, and it will be seen that there
is a long cry between this and the
broad principle of public ownership
of all utilities, and public operation
of french,ises. But even to this
extent, Mr. Borden does not state
the case honestly. Under the pres-
ent seheme of the Government, the
country is net made to assume any
of the. risk for the western section.
That is to be assumed by the com-
pany. -The country simply guaran-
tees the bonds of the company to the
amount a two-thirds of the cost..
Only, therefore, in the event of the
failure of the company does the
hountry have any responsibility. To
'provide against this the country se-
cures a first mortgage on the com-
pleted road. So that, in the evertt
of the company -failing to meet their
liabilitiee which, the country hae
guaranteed, the country takes over
the entire property. Tt will thus be
seem that the worst that can befall
the country is to have to take pos-
session of a property at two-thirds
of what it actually cost. Mr; Bole
don advocates that: the country aS-
S-Ume t be entire coOtet the construc-
tion of this part of the road, while
'under the arrangement just entered
into by the Government and rati-
fied by Parliament the country may
get for two-thirds its value what.
Mr. Bordon wants it to pay full price
for. In this respect, therefore,- the
bargain which the Government has
blade is erne -third better than the
bargain Mr, slIordon says he will
make if . the people place him in
power.
Now as to the question of Govern-
ment ownership, the Government
seherne recoonizes that principle.
They construct the eastern section
of the road from Winnipeg- Lo Monc-
.Pm. They a.urnt. all expense.
otrd responsibilities in connection
with that portion of' the road and
the country will awn it, just as Mr.
Dordon advocates they should do
wtth the whole road. lite Mr. Me-
dea woceld not only place on the
-country the entire risk of coestruct-
ing the whole road but trould impose
on the country the. risk -s of operat-
ing it also. The Governtrient on the
other heed relieves the country- of
!the let responsibiiity alt oget her:

the Pecifie, be th:A. what -it may,
The Government an the other hand,
by the egreement which has just
cessors, apologise for ,continuous de-
ticits. Mr. Fielding's most invert -
ant references were as to the tariff.
He announced no radical ehangas at
the moment, but promises •a
eprn-
mittee of Government willeebe ap-
pointed before next eeseion to con-
sider the whole question ot tariff
revision and the needs- et the coun-
try, and that a general revision will
be made in conformity with the re-
port a this committee, the same as
in 1897. _
In the mean time, only sueli chan-
es aro to,be made tee are coneidered
absolutely necessary. For instance,
the duty on woollen goods, carriages,
be raised and on other articleSthere
be increased while on -articles there
are reductions, as, for instance, in
'coal all. Horses and mares at a low -
eV value than $50 are not to be im-
ported into the country. This is a.
blow •at the bronco trade. Steps
are also to be taken to prevent
the -dumping of slaughter goods in-
to this country from the United
States, by placing on such articles
'a special duty.

At -each place, also, he was closely
attended --leading members of the
party, who appeared, outwardly et
least, to. take 'pride in tieing him
honor. At his meeting at Toronto
last week, Massey hall, the largeet

Cabinet, and congratulate them on
being able at the present session to
karry through the Grand Trunk Pa-
cific bill, which is likely to prove
so great a boon to the country,both
from a national and commercial
pant of view, and we trust they
may long be spared to conduct the
political affairs of this great Do-
minion.
