As soon a. the Canadian Pacific Railway was
constructed. and before IL had facilities TO prop
erly handle through business. II demanded from
American roads 100000 TO withdraw from san
Francisco trahlc fer one year. The penalty for
refusing the demand was the making Of a rate
for transcontlnental traffic which would leave
no profit for American ranscontinenta lines.
The money was paid in cash. IL was blackmail
pure and simple.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company car
ried freight from Puget Sound TO st. Paul, via
Vancouver and Winnipeg, for twelve cents per
100 pounds TO divert 1t from American lines.
The American line, which carried 1t from Emer-
son, the bound airy line, 10 ~. Paul. received
four cents per 100 pounds. so that tho Cana
dian Pacific received eight cents per 100 pounds
for carrying merchandise 1,542 miles. and that
over the Rocky Mountains.
