A FEW PLAIN FACTS FOR
TELE NOPLE.
. r
, (Written to MB EXPOSITOR.) :
Before getting int power the Liberals
pledged themselves to reduce the tariff, and
gradually work towistele free trade. They
also ,promised to dad with the transporta-
tion, question and eompel the railways to
,live up to the terms of their charters, and
Mst but not least they promised to reform -
the Senatinor legislate its .out of existernie.
Instead of doing so, those who were loudest
in denounaing it as a bowie cif refuge for
worn out pol tioians 'have now. 'become he

It, is twenty-fiveyears since I entered
a suit) for ten thomand dollars against
the Grand Trunk Railway, on behalf of the
owner of the red mill in Seafortli, having
h had charge of the mill for seven years, and
1
the owner being on the most friendly terms
with the OgilVies he could not understand
how their mill °leered $7,000 a year, while
his mill made little or nothing. Before
being allowed to enter the suit for being
disoriminated spinets in freight rates, I had
to get•the millers of the county who were
interested in rates, to guarantee poo to.
wards the trial 'of the case. Instead of al-
lowing the case to come into court, the
owner foolishly accepted 83,COQ and with-
drew the suit. My reason for being anxiJ us
to have the case •ventilated through the -
courts was to °pet: the eyes of he public,
for the need of haviug railWay commission-
ers appointed to guard their interests. I
found the Ogilvie fitim had an hdventage of
21 to 15 cents ,er 100 pounds f o -Montreal
and the Lower Previnoes, besides the firm
enjoyedthe privilege of under billing oars,
Wheat billed at 400 bushels contained 450
to 500; feed billed at 10 tone contained 12
to 14 tons, the serplue being carried to their
destination, free. No wonder the head of
the firm died woeth seven millions, while
hundreds and thousands of good men milled
themselves out of bowie and home. As soon
as those privileges were withdrawn the firm
eaerifieed property costing $200,000.1or 17
cent' on the dollar, and left the grand old
count'.of Huron. X would like to make a
!bet with ,the Minister 1 of Railways, if he
Will 'appoint a deteoeiie, who is a tree class
accountant; with power to go into the offices
of the Lake of tbe Woods and that of the
Ogilvie Milling Companiee, that he will find
these firms get grain .enough carried- in nn-
, der billed oars and in rebates and special
rates to make each firm $25,000 a pat,
without milling profits.
' The Government that allows large firms
1.
advantages in any sitpe or form are guilty of
illegally building up. monopolies at the ex-
pense of the country Since being in Strat-
ford, I have bought 15,000 oars of grain. On
an 8verage these oar each fell three bushels
short in weight, apd worse etill; they were
bought, on an average, four weeks before
being shipped -for want of oars, at a hiss of
one cent per bushel 'to the shipper in inter-
est and insurance, besides causing endlesa
tro ble, expense an41 heavy lo3ses to both
buy r •and sellers. I know an instance
where a milling firm told 7,000 sacks of -flour,
early in January, 50 to be ehipped weekly
until the sale was filled—The first 500 were
shipped on the 12th of January, and nob a
single sack left Portland until the 18th of
March, when 2,500 sacks were shipped out,
which oaused•the buyer to leas the, sales he
hadmade, and 26 ends- a saok besides.
The above ie a fair Sample of how Ontario,
shippers have been Were
by our railways
ever since 'the roads ere built, after costing
the Province ninety millions, in aiding their
• oonstruotion. It is true Sir Oliver Moat
rendered good service to the oountry in re-
• taining possession -of the new territory be-
longing to the Province, but both Sir Oliver
and his successors h1 ve failed to do their
duty in this transpor Oen queeti an. It is
true things would her , been no better had
the Tories been in p wer, as both politioal
parties havd been pandering to railway
I
managers for their enpport. Old Ontario
for the last 25 years has been growing on an
average 1:60,000,000 bushels of grain annual-
ly, and raising immense herds of cattle and
hogsebesides other redacts, the value to
the producer dependi g on the cost of get-
ting them to mark t. Dalton McCarthy,
fought for years before eueeeeding in getting
Sir John.A. Meodoneld to grant a royal
commissionnquire into the management
y
of the rail ye. The commissioners did
•their work di, and brought in a report
favoring theeeppointment of permenent
railway comtillesioners. As soon as William
Van Horne and Joleph Hieksen heard of
this they at once used the members of the
Toronto Board of Trade, who had enjoyed
favors from them; to send free passes to all
their onutomere to go td (Wawa and 'protest
against any change-- being made. Sir John
WM so pleased with the result thee he at
onoe put handle' to the names of the two
managers for serving him so well and feeling'
the country sholeverly. 1 , - .
It is hard to uaderittand why Sir Wilfrid
Leander ` should have knighted ' Thomas •
Shaughnessy, or why he wants to make Van -
Horne one of the railway commission*, un-
ities it is Wkeep himself in -power. Everybody
knows that the throe Americans who are
running our railways are thee eninning our
Government' in their own *greets, and
have' done it well. • Two of them came here
25 yeartago, as poor as any Canadian, and
are now possibly the wealthiest men
ID • the Dominion, besidett having
made our two Canadian lords wealth-
ier than all the hereditary lords of the old
country put together. These men have
been allowed to pursue a policy of disoilm-
ination in fever e_of their countrymen, our
h ocimpetitori, who !neve taken from ten to
fifteen millions yearly, out of the pockets of
the producers of the wealth of Ale Province.
The -only remedy it for the farmers- and
other producers to throw politiosto the winds
and vote in favor of the policy that will in-
crease both their own wealth and that of
,
the country. ,
There ii no use in having such strict elec-
tion laws,, unless it is to make work for the
lawyer., so long as the _railways are allowed
to buy up both our members at14 the press
with free passes to I influence legislation in
thein.favon It is money taken out of our
own pockets that Is running this country to-
day. ,

The Twelfth at Etensall. ,
All roads seemed to lead to Hensall on
Monday last, that being; the day and the
plate selected by', the Orangemen of the
district of South Huron for the celebration
of "Tho Glorious and Immortal Twelfth."
The weather was delightful, being neither
too cold nor too warm, and although the
season WW1 a busy one for farmers, on ac-
count of their' being in the midst of. haying,
this did not seem to diminish the attend-
ance, for the neat and tidy little town was
filled to overfiowing. Bub large se the

dation for both man and beast.' The town
decorated with flags andbunting.
At the appointed hour the various lodges
were marshelled into line, and preoeded by
the Homan band, marched through' the
principal streets to Moir's grove, where a
'madam' platform bad been arranged for the
speakers and dignitaries of the order. arml-
et* There were 20 lodges represented in
the prooespion and some of them presented
a very neat appearance). On tirriving at the
prove County Grand Master Nevin, of
Biddulph, presided and in a short addrese
congratulated the membere on th'eir large
turnout and complimented the brethren and
citizens cif Hensel' on the good arrange-
ments made for their entertaiument and
comfort. Reeve Soott, of Hewett, in a
neat address, on behalf of the citizens, ex-
tended it heeirty. welcome to the visitors,
expressing the pleasure it afforded them to
have them with them oa this occasion and
he hoped they would all take away most
pleasant recollections of their visit to the
village. Mr. David Dew, on behalf of the
Orangemen of Hansen, also extended to
their brethren of the order a most hearty
welcome and spoke of the progrees made by
the oeder in this district. .
Addresses suitable to the °cession were
given by the following i Rev. Mr: Stout,
Kirkton ; Rev. Mr. Thornton, of Luoan,
Deputy Grand Clhaplain of British Amerioa ;
Rev. D. Salton. London ,• Rev. Mr, Hendetz
son, Muesli ; Rev. Mr. Doherey, Hansen ;
Rev. Mn Jennings, Exeter, and Rev. Mr.
McQuaide,Clandeboye. Mr. Wtn. White,
of Mitchell, or" King Billy," ale he was
-
introduced by the ohairmanovas ale° celled
on and after a few introductory remarks
said he would matte a slight change- in the
programme, and instead of delivering a
lengthy addrese be would sing a song. He
acsoordingly gave in excellent voice and good
form "The Farmer's Boy." This was so
highly appreciated by the audience that
they would not be pacified until he respond-
ed in an -encore and he gave "Fair Canada."
Mr. White made a deolded hit, as, he is
both e good speitker (ma a good ,singer. The
addresses throughout were short and to the
pointind were mostly of a patriotic) order
and atrongly Canadian. There was nothing
said which oduld -ritheibly give offense to
even the most sensitive.
By the time the speaking was concluded
it was nearly five o'clock Aud time for the
train going heath, and the proceedings were
breleght to a dose bei the band playing
" God save the King,' When the various
lodges re-ainembled in lineandmarched to
the railway station, where. those from the
south entrained for home, the cheers of the
brethren left behind moundingthrough the
air he the train tnoved out of I he station.
Soon after most of thore who h d driven in
as well se those who °ante front the north
by train left for home, , and by dusk the
town had resumed almost its 'inlaid quiet.
The people,of Hensell are to tie congratu-
lated on the success of the on:Aston, which
was due in no small degree to the excellent
errangemente they had made,- while the
visitors are to be equally congratulated, as
notwithstanding the immense -crowd, no
oneward event oecurred-to mar the harmony
or pleasure of the occasion. We may here
also mention that fully half the orowd
'seethed to be oomposed of ladies. This, of
course, added not a little to -the appearance
And pleasure of the °cession.
