V 3231< to T. cw«& Groeer, CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY, k RELUBLESrATEMENT The leader of £he Opposition in tho early part nf last week, in moving t^e Souse of Commons for some re­ turns relating to tliecipst of the-.con­ struction of 615 miles of the Canadian Pacific' Iladlway between Winnipeg and the South Saskatchewan, made an elaborate speech, in wbicli fie seemed most earnestly anxious bo create an impression that the $16,780 per mile,vwhich that section is. stated to have costthe Company, could not have been honestly spent in the work, the only possible inference b< ing that some people connected, with the Company had dishonestly pocketed some millions of .dollars of public meney, ■“ ■ I desire ito state in the most posi­ tive terms, for my co-Dirpctors apd niyself, that sq far -our connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway has been anything but pecuniarily profitable to. us, .cur shares alone costing us a much higher price than they can be bought for to-day in the open market, and it is impossible that we^can’hereafter'benefit in any way except in common with all other shareholders. • , . - ■' I have.not time to follow Mr, Blake through all the. devious ^nethod% by which lie so industriously- seeks to- impress upon the .public his distorted Views on all matters relating to. the . Northwest .and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, "fjdit I musVrefer , to the unfair argument he used in his speech on the .occasion referred to, based on Mr. Sandford. Fleming’s estimate of the costof a colonization road across the prairie, ‘. Mr. Fleming estimate^ that such a road' wotcld cost .-$18,000 per mile, including $1,800 for equipment.' How then, asks Mr. Blake, in the face of .thjs esthnate, is it possible that the Cofnpuiry crniicL. have legitimately spent some. $8,,780 more, per mile on , this section.? ■ - No one. knows Ibetter than Mr. ! Fleming, and Mr. Blake himself can hardly be ignorant of the fact, that the road. lAult.b.v..tli!.aCompany is of a v 4 I An Open Coiilcssion Prom the Hamilton Spectator. ; On the morufog of «Ue day of the election in South Winnipeg,the Free Preus, edited by^Mr; Luhtan? the tmw'defeated Grit? cattdjdAte,made tlie hist powerful add dCuhledipded appeal to the electors, • in whifiit it was stated that, if the Tory candid* ate was elected, the electors would halve dotle certain things.
