FRYE and Cullom are eaid to be advising

OTTAWA. Ont, Dec. 31.--Hon. Mac
kenzie Bowel, speaking of the
report from Washington that Presi-
dent Harrison had decided to strike
laet blow at Canada by
abolishing the bonding privileges now
enjoyed by Canadian railroads, said the
threat has come go often that the Cana
dians were prepared for it. There is no
disputing the fact, he said, that the
abolition of such privileges would be
serions blow to Canadian trade, but un-
less Canada would submit willingly to
very one-sided arrangement, that blow
would operate both ways.
The government has suspended the
acts making discriminating duty on
molasses and sugar imported indirectly,
in comparison with those imported di-
rectly from the country where produced.
1t is understood this action was taken to
avoid what might be considered un-
