It has been said. of a prominent man that he has the fact ltyr
of stripping things of their accidentals and to nir,
mediately reach the e sentials, or in other words the
man referred to, posses es common sense;
In a general talk about Clothi g there are very Many thi gs'
which might fairly eno igh be classed as accident is;
but we 11ave neither time .nor space to -discuss ny
features? apart from th essential point in ',which ur
Clothing and trade methods excel in a general ay.
It is poss41e for any man to start selling any clas o
ware whici he may •take into his head to sell, bu
does not •f llow that the man either knows hoW to u
or sell he article. Yet he may learn, n
-while he i learning his business imam, who is pay n
for his tuit on. ?Why, of course, the _m.an who (hai.
with our isguided friend who lacks experience.
A man may be honest enough, painstaking, enough n
thoroughl in earnest in trying to serve the- publ c
but, unless lie has grown up in the Clothing busin s4
he will ne,er be in the position to render the ful est
value possiiele to give the Clothing .buying public.

THE CRO*S NEST,RAILWAY. Brant. Few oonstitue cies possess the for'
As most of �u-readere' are aware Canada
has given a derge bonus to the C. P. R.
company to -atisiet in the, building of what
in known as the Crow's Neat Pees Railway.
Very few, howeyere kneel, what the country
receives in return for this bonus which they
have,given, This was folly and plainly e -
plained by Hon Mr. elifton, ea member f
the Dominion Government, at the Hardy
banquet o Tgropto the other night. He
:said : - 1
We eat ed 1 upon thet conetruetione
r.I
Various plan were propreeid. One ws,s
that we s milt have an iedependent com-
pany, a n w cempany thatwould take up
the cons rucelon of that :road. Another
was that the Government should build it.
And the hirdand last wee that the C. P.R.
should built ie. I do not think that any
queotion as ever come before the Privy
Council s nee I have been a member of it
has reed% ed the same anxious, painful and
careful consideration as was eiven to the
euestion of thp conoeruction of that railway.
And the tionelhoion that was arrived at,that
the C. P. Re should be given the privilege
of building that read, was arrived at in
what we
know to
people of
member t
cided whe
that the r
ripen the
CePe. R.
-end that
and other; peivtileges and concessions,. must
be secured for the people of Canada. (Ale.
plause,) Now, sir, what did we'find t We
found in the C. I . R. Company 66 charter, as
you all know, practically no concessions, no
rights, no privile Yes_for the people who fur-
nished the mone to build. that railway.
( Hear, hear.) Tie Liberal party was not
responsible foe.t at fact, the -Liberal party
in Parliament in 881 raised its voice againet
, these clauses in he contract, but when we
took office in I89f3 we found that contract
'in force and we bad to be governed by it as
lit Was. But we said that the mistakes
, made in the contract would not be repeated
in connection wieh the Crow's Nest Pass
'Railway.
, CqCESSIONK GAINED.
, We provided, first, that the railway
should be built upon the condition that any
time hereafter I the Government of Canada
might give ru ning powersIover the road to
any other rai way that might apply for
them. There should be no monopoly, but
practically, to all intent a d purposes, the
i
railway,_ thou h built by the C. 1'. R„
should be a fr e railway ighway for any
eompany that may hereaft r apply for leave
to use it. Th t principle ad never been
embodied in railway legislation at Ottawa
Until this Government took office. (Cheers.)
Then, air, we wene further we took' abeo•
Jute and unre tricted cont ol of the rates
up( n that lin . Next we ok abeolute con
tro -of th rates fro every point
up n the C, P. to , every
poi t on the Crow Nest Pass
rai way awl o her lines wh ch it mat, econ-
ne t with in southern B itish Colunibia.
An we took absolute co trol of all the
tats from th Crow's 1 Nest Pass railway,
an every poi t upon it and other points
up n any of i s connections, , back to , the
ma n line of the C. P. R. or any of its
br nches. SO that you will see that we
ha e, first, th,e right to give any company
ru ning powelra over it ; next, we have ab
sol te cont ol of local rates ; next, absolute
co trol of a 1 ates into the country and
ou of it. that to all intents and I pur-
po es it is 'overnment railway, although
citi, rated by the C. P. R. And it is Wider
t control of the Government and the, peo-
ple of -Cana al, whose servants the. Govern -
me t are. (eapplause,) Now, we went a
lit, le furti er and we eta : " We want
ta
so ething i re than that," and we got
fro the C. • R concessions and reductions
in he pres ne rates', for the benefit, of the
perple in t ,e Northwest, in merchandise
an grain o ng into that country and com-
ing out of i ,which, upon the present vol -
um of busi 688, amounts to $700,000 per
an um, (Sheers.) And as the business in -
ere ses in -v lume the value of the conces-
sio s yearl ill increase. Taking .the re -
du tions u n the basis of the present
vol me of b einess, in five years from to -day
I b lieve C ada will have got back the
entire bonu that was paid for that railway.
W will ha a railway, running rights and
th ineiden privileges, the control of rates,
an will act ally not have paid • a cent for
it. (Cheer .) I felt that if the eonotreetion
of his rail y was a great enterprise, per -
has one of he greatest enterprises since
th eonstru , ion of eho C. P. R., that it was
no amiss f me to speak to the representa-
tiv Libera of the Provinee of Ontario in
regard to t terms and particulars of that
co tract, es ich will herrn, and properly
for , the e hject of discussion when the

cu Bed. Tl ere is nothing that we have

, El cted i e Times in Succession.
Ion. A. Si Hardy, in his speech at the
ba quet I te week, made mention of a
so ewhat ieteresting fact. he said:

It is Sontewhat of an object lesson, If
South Brant lied been anything less faithful
to the cause of Liberalism they should pro-
bably not have had as their representative
the humble individual who stands before

nine times in uccession. (A voice: "We
will do it agai too.") Iti a all owing to
South Brant ;I'I have little in it. South
Brant made up her mind many years ago
twenty-five ye re it is now, that she would
have a Prime inister represent her on the
floor of the Ontario Parliament, and in that
South _Brant Was always correct. There are
more prophets, in the riding of South Brant
than are to befound within any other rid-
ing of this country. I owe much to South
