.V'egate Wickersham said that his letter to
Secretary Lane was a personal letter, “from
r.e official to another and was not intended for
publication.'" Which is all very well as camou
fiaye. but his attack on the secretary left the
utter no alternative. He had to let the people
row as a step for future action. For the end
: yet. The charges are far too serious.

FAIR TRIAL IN THE U. S.
Tr.e government is nothing but a name for
*he people, and in discussion of this question
the interest of the latter alone needs consider
*::r. The people or Canada are carrying a
ve y debt, how heavy the levy of income tax
*• w causingthem torealize. It is a moot
r-titr. whether the government can borrow
■ the experiment ox public ownership, the
- • millions that would be involved in the
purchase at the Grand Trunk, at a time when
money is being poured out like water in high
way soldier land settlement, housing and like
r-meets, to say nothing of the millions needed
■ rut the existing government line? in efficient
‘-•.are. But assuming for the argument, that
- rev can readily be procured, assuming that
Grare Trunk is purchasable, wherein does
improved service? To sug
test such a thing in relation to government
vmershi? and operation only excites ridicule.
Lower rates of transportation? That. Indeed
was primarily the hope, and may still be the ap
' •’ nationalisation, but exper
v ■ ? Mraed destroyed.
Government operation has had a fair trial in
- - 4 with, as a result higher tra*
nsrortation rates, impaired service and a eor
■ - - f financial inspotency that promises to
-es: re the railways of that country to private
....;. r p jymp- * as the only escape trom dl.-aster.
Ir. England tee virulent craze for government
:wnership is rampant. Why? To reduce rates
x carriage? Not at all. but to increase wages
e? and wages cannot be raised with
augmenting the cost of the production of
r which is the tarifi rate of transportation.
