proportionate to the work performed
and the restrictions imposed, are detri-
mental to the country and the future
settlers. 1t claims that the country is
now face to face with great danger,
and with a last opportunity ayerting
it recites the terms Of the syndicates
contract, and maintains that the prairie
section to Kamloops will cost double
the governments estimate az the last
session, and that the company will
monopolize the entire trade Of the
northwest until the year 1900. 1t
refers to the two great corporations Of
the northwestern states now contend
ing for this traffic, the proprietors of
one of which is interested in the pres
ent contract, and deprecates the
exemption Of the company's land and
rolling stock from taxation for twenty
years as giving an unfair advantage,
enabling the company to hold their
lands until their value is enhanced by
the settlement of other portions. 1t
points out that the government vir
tually gives the contractor seven hun
dred miles, already completed by
Canada, besides bonus of oven fifty
millions, the excess of the estimated
cost; considers the eastern or Lake
Superior section unnecessary at pres
ent; strongly fayors the construction
of the Sault St. Marie branch as giving
the country two competing lines to
draw products of the northwestern
states through the dominion, and urges
parliament not to sanction the measure
entailing forty millions of the public
debt and furnishing a pretext for
excessive taxation.
