Give u a trial. tidal waters of the Paciï¬c. manned by the same crew. hauled by the same engine and under the.eameâ€" management and control. Mr. Bl'air pricks that bubble when he asks: Where are they to stop at night? Where are they to ï¬nd provisions? Where are they to ï¬nd supplies for their engines and to have repairs made, if necessary. He said the pro- position was simply moonshine. Yet this government comes before usâ€" and it is heralded as a business gov- ernmentâ€"that makes a preposition involving such manifest blunders that even a tyro in raiiroad manage- ment would not fall into them. I shall quote a little lurther from Mr. Blair, because he is the accredited ex. pert of the government and no man in Canada. according to the Prime Minister. is better qualiï¬ed to give an opinion on matters of this kind: I want to ask is there any dark cloud over- shadowing ns that the ratiï¬cation: of this contract will immediately lift. If there is. I do not know it. Is there a well grounded fear that the Grand Trunk Railway Comp- all)’ will not allow us. two or three years hence. to build and make them a present of this line, that they will not accept it? Is there any well-grounded justiï¬cation for that fear? I think not. 1 think we will ï¬nd them in just as receptive a. frame of mind two or three ears hence as that in which they are to ay. Is there any congestion away up in this country which requires a railway to be built? Is there any depres- sion in business? We hear about the em ployment of the toiling thousands in the workshops and ï¬elds of Canada. They are. happily, now all employed, but is that a reason why we should start now to build an- other railway? I think not. Mr. Blair makes it clear that there is no well-grounded justiï¬cation for any such fear as there seems to have been an attempt to impress upon the country. It has been said that this road Will only cost a small amount of money. But as the discussion has gone on the amount has grown from 88.000.000 to $9,000,000 to $10,000,000 to $13,000,000â€"the premier’s esti- mateâ€"and so on until we have the eStimate of the last speaker at $184,- 900,000. There is a great diflerence between the estimate put upon the cost of this enterptise by previous Speakers, including the Prime Minis- ter and that of the government’s ac- credited railway expert, tbo man best} qualiï¬ed, as they say to give an op-. pinion on matters of this kind. We all remember that Mr. Blair estitnat ed the cost of the road at over $139,- (NHLOUO. Compare that with the esti- mate ol' the Prime Minister. which ‘ was $13,000,000. And with the . changes that they have now proposed. Emade at the instance of the Grand Trunk Railway. it is quite clear that the cost will not be less to the count- ry. but greater. So that we may reasonably infer that if Mr. Blair were to estimate the coat to the country of this road under the con- tract now propoeed. he would i place it at not less than 8150000000 to $155.0HH,OUU. Wnen We consider this in contrast with the $8,000,000 or $9,UHH.UUH ï¬rst spoken of. as see that these former estimates are simp- ly absurd and ridiculous. Now at page 8441 of ‘ Hansard’ Mr. Blair say 8: My hon. friend the leader of the opposi- tion said the other night that we are revers- ing the policy which we had pursued during all these years. 1 go further. [say we are doing more; we arecondemmiug that policy. We are not only condemming it. but we are writing our own condemnation in letters which will never be obliterated. We are saying that We did net know whatwe were doingâ€"til at we did not care what we were doing. It suits our purpose now to destroy entirely what we have done. and to belittle all that has been the result of our past policy That is what is being proposed in this policy tO-day. l prOtest against it. 1 think I can show this llouse that a little thought and consideration would have led to the staying of the bands of my colleagues who were determined that this thing should be carried out. Mark his words, 'we are writing our own condemnation.’ It is not plain that the government today, in endorsing Mr. Blair and accrediting him as being better titted than any other man in Canada to express a judgment in matters of this kind. condemns its own policy on this (11163:. tion. And if the scheme was to be condemned last year. much more it is to be condemned this year with the changes that have been made, which make it far worse for the country. I have only another quotaiton from the hon. Mr. Blair. At page 8445' of: thansard’ we ï¬nd the following: This prop0sal is absolutely unjustiï¬able. and the people of this country will not stand it. Not all the influence which the Grand Trunk Paciï¬c Railwaf' can bring .to bear upon the electorate wi ljnstify the outrage proposed to be perpetrated. The new line will have heavy grades and besides will go through an unsettled 'country and we know how important an element local traflic is to a railway. Mr. Blair has not expressed any different opinion on the subject up to the present. It is true that he has accepted a Lucrative position from the government, and his mouth is shUt; but So far as we know he has nut gone back on his record of last .\ war. In his judgment this scheme “as foolish and vicious last ‘year.* and it must be so still. I notice that ia~' tear there was a marked tone of cmtidence on the part of the minis- '60s when discussing this queSIion. u'iiic‘h is absent to day. I recollect that when a proposition was made on min side of the House in the way of an amendment. which should have .littiued'fuir consideration from the :HVr‘l‘llflleut side'. the Minister of Finance. referring to the ureement. :uid: ‘ \\ e are not much o-mcertied .as to what wiw thvï¬rand Trunk Railway pays for the Muck.

It is absolutely impossible to buv a share of that stock . it must be held by the Grand Trunk Railwa ' Company itself and no person can buy a s are. What is their position on, that sub- ject to-day? They. have abandoned that ground“ entirely. The Grand Trunk can take that stock which has been allottedjo them some 325,000.- 000, and dispose of the whole of it b long as they hold enough to retain the voting power. They only have to hold enough to guarantee them a controlling interest, a voting interests in the road. So long as it had no market value as a purchaseable com- modity which they could turn into money, there was no danger in bold. ing it. But now the government proposes absolutely to release $12,000- 000 to the railway company to do what they like with it. to release the whole of it except that the Grant; Trunk shall hold the v0ting power on at leaSt $13,000.000 of that stock. By this means they can convert it all into money. they can sell $25,000,000 of stock and use the proceeds as they like. The government wishes to cre- ate a few more millionaires. and to widen the gulf that. exists in Canada to-day between the privileged few and the toiling many. The few become wealthy nOt by their own labour, but out of the advantages which they get from the government grants of this kind. Another point they have abandoned. Let me quote again from the Finance Minister. Speaking of the weatern end of this road he said: We do not guarantee the cost of that road. We do not pay lor that road, as some seem to imply: we do not guarantee the cost of that road. We do not even guarantee a portion without limit. With respect to the western division, we guarantee threequar- ters of the cost. not exceeding acertaiu sum. Our guarantee, not the cost of the road but our guaranteeâ€"is limited to $3,000 per mile on the prairie section and $30,“ per mile on the mountain section. How does that argument stand to- day? All gone to the winds. no lim- itation to the stock at all in the mountain section. They may spend $30,000, 840.000 or $50,000 per mile, and the country has to pay three- quarters of the cost, whatever it may be. He goes on to say: If the road costs less than the ï¬gures on which these guarantees are based. we only guarantee threeqnarters of that cost, but if the road costs moreâ€"and some hon. gentle- men argue that it win be very expensive-â€" we do not increase our proportion, but the company must provide the increased cost without limit so that the road may be ï¬nish- ed. The Grand Trunk Pacific agrees to do these things- The quesion was raised last year, What if the Grand Trunk should not carry out this provision? The Fi- nance Minister says in so many words: . We have them bound hard and fast. and we will ï¬nd means to compel them to carry out their agreement.1 That is not their position to~day. When amendments were [imposed from this side of the House. the Fi- nance Minister assumed the attitude of a great ï¬nancier pictured by SliakeSpeare, in the Merchant of Venice. who asked: 'Is it so nomi- nated in the bond ? Icannot ï¬nd it '8’ Not being in the bond there can be no alteration, we cannot admit the amendment, whether it has any merit or not. That was the position taken last year. They came before this parliament to~day forced by acom- pany of British capitalists, because we ï¬nd that the president of that company. in discussing this matter, said that they had ‘forced the gov- ernment of Canada.’ There may be nothing in that expression. or there may be much in it. If any member 01 Congress of the United States had snade use of that expression, that they had forced the Canadian govern- ment into any position, why this country would resent the language and we would hear of it throughout the length and breadth of the land. But here is a small company of Brit- lish capitalists whose president says that they have forced the government of Canada. Fortunately, Mr. Speak- er, they have not forced the people of Canada into any position of this kind. Now, we may note, in passing. that there is such a thing as going too fast in buildiLg railromlseven in good: territory if that territory is unsetwq tied and is liable to remain so for‘ years. We have railroads subsidized ,by this country throughout that fNorthwest Territory. in districts which are so far unsettled, but which are capable of maintaining four or ï¬ve millions of pe0ple. I do not think it wise to plant scattered set- tlements hundreds of miles apart. It is a wasteful policy, it .is one which does not innure to the welLbeing of the people who are so settled. They are at a disadvantage in their muni- ‘cipal government. in the co'truction of roads, in building schools and churches. and in providing for social requirements. I think it would be far wiser to build railroads only in regions which are already at least i partially settled. I think it is not a very digniï¬ed position for the government to take. The needs of the western territory are being well and generously met ()ver 700 miles oi railway were sub- sidized by thisparliament last year. and I believe double that length of toad is under contract or under con- struction. 'l‘he plea. therefore that this road was necessary to reLieve existing congeSIiou. which was put forward last year, falls to the ground. But whatever objection there may "2' PAGE WIRE . 1311M» Hand-emu. Perfect. Only 20 cents per running foot. Buppl‘led by us or local dealer. , . ,9, I“ .I’ENCE, CO'. Lilnitod. - “Mikel-villa.

We are now building up one or two ports on the Paciï¬c; Vancouver is but a city of yesterday, rapidly building up and there is no immediate need for an- other Paciï¬c port. Ten, ï¬fteen, twenty or twenty-ï¬ve years hence will be time enough to enter upon the consideration of that question so far as the necessity is concerned. Look. ing for a moment at the construction ‘ of the eastern end of the road, there i are many objections, but the chief is ' the undertaking to build a railway ‘ through aterritory that is entirely ; l e l l ‘ unexplored. without the necessary surveys, and without the knowledge which is absolutely necessary regard- ing the climate, temperature and productions of the country, or the knowledge of whether. in the' case of the railway being built. there will ever be any local trafï¬c to support it. The mountains of information about which we heard last session appar 1 ently do not apply to this section and 1 we know very little about it beyond [the little item of information to‘ i 1 I l which Ihave referred. given in the ‘ memoirs of a missionary who was ‘ there some 200 years ago. It would seem that the Grand Trunk Railway lCompany have found the government .of Canada a very easy combination to ’werk, that having met them in the first place the government wished to have their say as to the character of ithe road, but that the Grand Trunk . undertook to demand everything and lapparently got everything they wanted. The Grand Trunk would seem to be very much in the position of the disappointed Jew trader who having got all he asked for an article, soliloquized : I was a big fool ; I got all I asked. I might just as well have got more. So they ask for more and this blind government. having given. them all they asked. apparently came to them and said: Is there anything more you want? Apparently they were ready to give the country away. 'How IS it that a company has got such influence over the government? It is humiliating to this country. I; have nothing against the Grand Trunk as a company, I know it has been said that they have not done a great deal for this country and have made some very great losses in Can- ada in connection With the expendi- ture of their money. but Canada is .not responsible for the losses which they have made in the early building of their road. There are men living today who can testify that more ex- travagant methods were never em- ployed in the building of a railway in - any country in the world than by I the Grand Trunk Railway Company. ' It was no wonder they lost monev; E‘it was no wonder that they did not -|for years pay any dividend, and it ' may be that even up to the present ilthey would not have been able to pay a any more dividends than they did in t their earlier years if it had not been I that they were compelled to abandon i their old methods, to get over their - old insular belief that they knew i everything about railways. and to J adopt western methods and employ . the skill of western men. They are now in a better position, but they i have attained it only by abandoning 5 old methods by which they lost money r. in this country. i he to building more rulrosds in the west, we may fairly say that. there is no need of subsidizing railroads into the most. fertile wheat belt in the world. We hear a whisper going through this country; it is more than a whis- per now, in favor of the government ownership of the great franchises of this country. of government owner- ship of our railways, telegraph sys- tem, telephone system and of muni- cipal ownership of the various fran- chises under the control of the municipal governments. It is more than a murmur, it is now loud enough to be heard by every ear, and is growing so continuously that it may soon Speak to the people of this coun- try in tones of thunder. We have already had enough ol government by corporations and trusts. which min- ister to the aggregation of. wealth in the hands of a few and tend to widen the great gull between the privileged few and the struggling toiling litany.

It was a Canadian whom he employed We ï¬nd Can. adians in every walk of life. in every civilized country to-day. wbo are forging their way to the front rank of progress and enterprise. Why should we. in placing our great fran. chises in the hands of foreign capital- ists, throw obstacles in the way of the ambition and hopes of the enter- prise of the youth of this country. Why should we not have Canadians ï¬lling those positions which they can ï¬ll with credit to themselves? There is nothingto prevent Mr. Hays. capable manager as he is. from bring- ing every trusted emyloyee he wants on 'this great transcontinental rail. way from the United States and leaving our own capable men. in the background. This is what we would expect from a man who has some love for his country, that he would give his countrymen a preference. We should give Openings for the ambi- tions and aspirations of the young men of our country. Let me say in conclusion that I l favour the government ownership of the great franchises of this country l It is coming. it is in the air,i1 “11 something that we hear every week. Only the other day the great city of 1 Chicago undertook municipal owner- ship of the great franchises of that city believing that whatever 1t may cost in the meantime, it will be in the ultimate interest of the city to own their own franchises. I believe that the sooner we take a forward step the better for the progress and hap- piness of the country at large. What- ever may bé the outcome of this en- terprise. whether the government will still persist in carrying it through whether in this humiliating position they will still be determined to carry out the enterprise. let it cost what it l may to Canada. I believe that if it is carried out, the cost will be greater than any of those ,the estimates which have been made. The maxi- mum cost has not yet been reached ; it may be and is likely to be not less than $200,000,000 and possibly more than that. 'I referred just now to the funeral; aspect of;the countenances of the min- 1 isters when the Prime Minister in-1 troduced the measure this session.‘ The face of the Postmaster General (Sir William Mulock) seemed to bear a more puzzled expression then that of the others. He appeared to be in a soliloquy as to whether it would not be necessary to issue a new postage stamp to commemorate this great event in the history of Canada. If he should decide to do so I would suggest to him that he should print a map of Canada on the stamp with a blue stroke across it indicating the line of railway and the motto : The greatest debt there has been. Or, perhaps a more apprOpriate motto would be: The greatest blunder that has ever been. Quite an unnecessary question. be- cause so manv women have such poor complexions.
