Liberty in religion Equality in civil his railway Deal was an advantageous one to the he denounced people who held that we do not want More and that the freight rates Are As Low As they to the were words at the Winnipeg Board of Trade meeting on idol against these words stands the above comparative state showing a number of rates that Hoblin now thinks were too at the same Board of Trade in reply to George Roblin gave a most general Assurance that All freight rates would be re As the above list a number of freight rates have not been May but and increased very materially at these increases increased freight rates on needless to say come dire stay out of the the railway Deal made with the Canadian Northern by the Roblin government has not Only saddled the province with an immense financial but it has also entailed the barring out of the Northern Pacific from this what this barring out has meant in regard to immigration from the Western states has been noted by Haslam in his recently published letter discussing Wes Tern which has attracted such says Lam i know the difficulties there Are in getting people to go to the Northwest of and one of the greatest has been the opposition we have met with from the american Early from those known As the Mer Ger the Northern Pacific and great 1 thought it a very unwise policy for the government of Manitoba to take just at the commencement of this to crowd the Northern Pacific out of particularly As it was their intention to increase their mileage there and through the and i anticipate that we would meet with very Strong opposition from them when they were not directly interested in taking people into the i be Lieve that if we had a great american like the Northern interested to the extent of a couple of thousand Miles in we would have secured at least double the num Ber of american it will be remembered that the plea advanced by Roblin in defence of tie action of his government in crowd ing the Northern Pacific out of Mani and of turning Over the Northern Pacific system North of the Boundary to the Canadian and of heavily burdening the credit of the was that it All would mean reduced freight reduced rates were promised As the result of the vaunted system of government by which Roblin in his capacity As railway commissioner of would fix the rates on the Canadian the use to which Rob Lin has put this Power of his in regard to freight which the Canadian Northern takes Over from the Northern Pacific at the has been to increase the rates very these in creased freight rates Are surely very unexpected fruit to be found growing on the tree of government a new comparisons will illustrate How heavy the increases in the Fol lowing statement the figures in the first column Are the rates in Force on the Northern Pacific from Paul to per 100 when the Roblin government made its railway Deal the figures in the second column Are the rates now in h is also to be noted that the former rates included cartage at except in the Case of while the rates at present in Force do not include which is to be amounting to 2 the pockets of the tie Winnipeg wholesalers do not pay the increased freight charges simply represent so much additional Cost to the retail dealers in the regular course of figure out their pro fits on the total Cost to them of the goods they just As the Winni Peg wholesalers figure out their profits on what it costs them to get their goods landed in their warehouses in this an excuse by Roblin has frequently been taken to task during the last two years for his failure to secure a Selec Tion of the acres due the province by the Canadian Northern railway and he has always been Fertile in excuses for his failure to do his duty to the people a failure due to an understanding from the out set that the company would be permitted to Settle this claim by a Cash payment representing but a portion of the actual value of the one of Roblins Stock when is

think the accommodation for Al kinds of sports is the right the suggestion which the chairman of the Parks Board has made to the effect that the various athletic organizations of the City get together
