this, buy bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla and

The Arguments submitted to Il Senate
Committee.

AT a hearing held in Detroit. Mich. by Il
committee from the United States senate
for the purpose of inquiling into the ALLEGED
destructive competition of Canadian rail-
roads as against those of the United States,
which claimed by virtue Of the interstate
commerce law to be at the mercy of the
Canadian line. Elaborate arguments were
presented by f. W Meddaugh and A. C.
Raymond i'll relation to he matter, and an
array of facts submitted tending Ia show
that restrictive legislation against the
anadan roads ana in favor Of
the United States lines would be-
disastrous 10 Detroit and points
taking common point rates by reason of the
fact that the Canadian Pacific was much
the shorter line to Eastern points The
only way of ingress and egress from ana to
the East by railway for Detroit. save
through Canada Is via Toledo around Lake
Erie. The distance between Detroit and
Buffalo VIA the Grand Trunk railway of
Canada is 80 miles. By way of Toledo
:}6l, on difference in favor Of the Grand
Trunl. Of over one hundred miles The
point is made that restrictive legislation
against the Canadian roads would place
Detroit 1T the mercy Of the roads with they
longer lines The distance between Port
Huron and Buffalo by the Canadian
route Is 1913 miles. This route can
accommodate Il large portion of Nlichi-
gan lying north Of Detroit From Port
Huron to Buffalo via the United States
lines Is 433 miles Restrictive legislation
against the Canadian roads would give the
United States lines the power to fuse their
rates on the long mileage instead of the
short line. The gentleman also quoted
freely from present tariffs as to rates show
ing that the reason the Canadian roads
were getting the business was because of
their having the short line and not by cut

curious. Among the early minters of coin
in northern Europe We're the jewellers of

in their calling that numbers OF them were
invited to England to manufacture the
metal money of the kingdom. The stran-

this abbreviated form it has come to imply
what is genuine in money, plate or char
