this country, feel, after most careful de-
liberation, that it would be very greatly
against my best interests and that of my
associates, as we'll as to the whole north

successful
Makes an Exception in This Case.
I am not nor have I been defender,
OF the trust movements. ! have IN the
past taken steps and effectual measures to
prevent the formation of two large trusts
which otherwise would have been estab-
lished and these two, and particularly one
of them, would have been very profitable
to me. But have not opposed the rail-
road extensions and consultations, be-
cause they do and have, continually re-
duced freight rates, facilitated travel and
the transportation of merchandise. 1t
makes through trains in place of short
stops. 1t enables the trunk lines to carry
traffic at less rates in consequence of the
tributary lines. 1t was this proposition
that led Mr.. Hill to build his trunk line
through TO the Pacific, when the Northern
Pacific began building branch lines
through among his. In order to compete
he must have his main through line to
carry the local traffic, each one cheaper
ing the expense of carrying the other.
So that while l feel strongly opposed to
the trust movement and the motives and
principles on which it is based, I am
not opposed to large, legitimate organiza-
lions. I furthermore believe that all
who will look upon this subject in its
right light and not through their own
prejudices, or that reflected through the
pens or tongues of others, will find in the
long run greater satisfaction and more
general advantages than they will to con-
tinue to stir up prejudice and misunder-
standing on a matter of as great lmpor-
lance to us in these cities and through
hn w n1 tnrr
traverse. And I am particularly sur
prised to find the people of st. Paul, Min
neapolis OF Duluth should so far overlook
their own best interests. l do not be-
lieve that these communities have any
thing that they can afford to contribute
to Chicago, New York, or any other city,
nor do l see how the farming community
and the interior cities would be possibly
benefited in any way by such movement.
If it is detrimental to any interests, I do
not see how it would fail to be detrimental
to mine, and to speak plainly, II this
should be successful, should regard my
interests as being Of less consequence and
of less value both in the city and in the
lumber business, than 1 would If the mer-
ger holds good, as l presume 1t will.
No one connected with this railroad
movement has any knowledge that 1 am
writing this, nor have 1 been asked or re-
quested by any one to do SO. I do 1t
because of my interests in Minneapolis
and other parts of the state. Because l
believe that it is most emphatically and
essentially against the interests Of the
northwest to take any action against the
securities company that will defeat its
right to hold the railway stock. That
such action would be detrimental and
seriously so to my interests and to that
of all the country tributary to these lines.

have known him since he was a clerk
on the wharf in st. Paul. | have fol-
lowed him closely in all his railroad
building from that time to the present.
I know his motives and ambitions were
underlaid by two principles and intense
ideas-to build and establish a great rail-
way system, and, equally desirable, to be
known as the great friend and developer
of the great northwest. And, taking this
country to the northwest of us, at time
when was repeatedly offered hundreds Of
thousands of in the Red River val
ley at 40 to Is cents per acre, it has made
the country into one of the most prosper
Gus regions Of the earth From the first
of his railway building, through to within
the past few years and UP to the time
that other railways built their lines
through among his, he repeatedly and con-
stantly changed and reduced his freight
rates as the country developed and settled.
When these competing lines were built
through the same territory, 1t was OBJ
servable then that the freight rates were
more modestly changed than formerly,
and the difficulty in getting concessions
became greater. The traffic was to be d.
vided between different roads and there
were objections to reductions; while it is
true in my Judgment that reductions might
have been made in excess Of what have
4 been there are many complications that
have arisen and difficulties that can be
seen only through experience in handling
the business.
But there is to me a certainty that there
will be greater reductions by keeping
these roads in northwestern hands thar
to make them tributary to the more south
ern lines with headquarters in New York
