I do not know who wrote this piece of scandal, but it looks very much a if the editor of the DURHAM CHRONICLE might at least be its step-father. But in any case the writer has a right to rank alongside the late Ananias as an econoniizer of the truth. As to the things he has said about my son’s private character, I pass over as beneath contempt. Thanking you for space in your pa- per, I remain Yours, DEAR Sm: 7~-.\Iy attention has been called to a slanderous article in the Drama: (‘uRoxu‘LE against my son, H. II. Miller: said article. professing to give an authoritative record of his family history. and with your per- mission I beg to point out a few inac- curacies in said article. In the first place the writer says that all the Scotch blood in H. H. Miller he got from his step-grandmother. Now I wish to say that the gentleman in question never had a step«grandmoth- er. My mot her (not my step-mother) ‘ was the fourth daughter of the late Fol. Hugh and Grace Munro (Scotch of the Scotch.) Again he says that I an: a natural born and bred Yankee. horn at (L‘ohoes. New York State. He. is getting my history down fine, but I must say not very authoritative, for I never was in or saw Cohoes. but was born not a hundred miles from Dur- ham. sixteen miles from Toronto, and with the exception of eighteen months have spent my whole life in Canada. As to my wife being of of English pa- rentage this is another falsehood. Not a drop of English blood in her veins. and she is not a Yankee either. These are only a few of the facts in connection with the Laurier adminis- tration, and were it possible to give the address of the Hon. Geo. E. Fos- ter. the greatest financial critic in Canada to-day, any reasonable reader of the two addresses could not fail to come to the conclusion that Mr. Laurier in his Massey Hall oration was concealing the truth and deceiv- ing the electors. Burma (‘Imnxu'LEz The (iraud Trunk Pacific Railway is the issue on which Mr. Laurier now says his party will stand or fall. Mr. Laurier pronounced Mr. Blair l"the best railway authority in ()an- ada." but during the debate in the ’llmlse in 1903, this “best railway authority" in speaking of the Grand Trunk Pacific gave his valuable opin- ion in these words. “It is absolutely useless: it is a total and absolute waste of public money: it is not only a des- traction of the lntercolonial Railway, but is a sheer unjustifiable squander- ing of ehe public money.” Mr. Blair also figured up the cost of this ‘useless’ transcontinental road at $139,000,000 but in his speech on Friday night last, the Premier had the audacity to tell the citizens of Toronto that the total} cost to the country would not exceedl $14,(m,m). Now, who are we to be- lieve. Mr. Blair. “the best railway authority in Canada, who put the cost in 1903 at $139,000,000 and who characterized the road as “ absolutely useless” or Sir \Vilfrid Laurier, who says the road is a commercial neces- sity and will cost the Dominion only $14,fi‘*ll),(ll), or less than one years sur- plus of the present government? Under the Conservative administra- tion the cost of government was 838,- Ufl)‘.000 ‘an exorbitant sum, altogether too much for the government of a country with a population of between five and six million souls.” Sir Wilfrid Laurier and others of his party pro- mised then. if returned to power to effect a reduction in expenditure of two. three. or perhaps four or five million dollars a year. For eight years they have occupied the Treasury benches, and every successive; year with a marked increase in expenditure until now the enormous $38,000,000 is almost. if not altogether double, what it was when the Liberals went into power. Did Sir “'ilfrid mean it when i he talked of retrenchment, or was it lueretlec-eption or lack of judgment on the part of the Liberals when as- piring tn ”flick? now is free trade and all the rest of the antidotes prescribed by the Lib- eral party when in opposition to des- troy “root and branch” the iniquitous and abominal National policy of the Conservatives? The same old policy of John A. Macdonald is in force to- day, and even in his Toronto speech, the Premier never mentioned it. THE WRONG PEDIGREE Farm to Rent. Father of H. H. Miller. " 0.. on.
