water works by a majority Tho volume of trade between Cana da and Great Britain continues to in crease at a most gratifying rate par ticularly in the amount of Canadian goods purchased by old country consumer The returns or April show in that month alone follow ing substantial increases over the fig ures of the same month wheat full cattle bacon 150000 lumber flour pulp horses cheese and ham 000

Great Britain and merchant the manu facturer and the farmer will have ho difficulty in deciding whether he is the more by a policy which is at tho present time giving this increased market or by the policy of Sir Charles and his colleagues who have declared they would give no con sideration to the Motherland without receiving an equivalent in the shape of parallel concessions or in other words that they would do nothing to improve the trade relations between Canada and other portions of Empire un less was prepared to put an actual tax upon her food imports which did not happen to come from one of her colonies Sir Charles knows and every reasonably in formed citizen knows that no Brit ish Government could hope to secure enough supporters to form a corporals if he went to the country with such a policy and if they did not know it before they have no longer an ex cuse for ignorance for Mr Chamber lain has told them so in very unmis takable terms RAILWAYS IN MANITOBA While it is true that there no problem of greater national import ance to at the present time than that of railway construction and transportation generally it is also true that probably no part of the Dominion is more vitally concerned in this mat ter the Province of Manitoba Theconveneinceand cheapness of rail way facilities touches the Manitoba farmer more closely and personally than any other matter and it is there fore only to be expected that the ques tion would become one of paramount importance in every election fight whether federal or provincial No Government did more for the develop ment of railway enterprise in the prairie province than the late Green- way Administration and it is open secret that he incurred the enmity of the railway corporations because of his refusal to surrender the- rights of the people and load down the province with heavy liabilities for their benefit and that this enmity was a potent factor in bringing his defeat Having succeeded for the time be ing at least in hoodwinking the peo ple to tbe true position of affairs in provincial matters AN IS NOW BEING MADE to misrepresent the attitude of the Federal Government and the presi dent of the Northern Pacific Railway The truth of the matter is the Northern Pacific is figuring upon be ing able to induce Mr Hugh John to do what Mr would never do construct these branch at the public expense and then allow them to be absorbed into the Northern Pacific system This is not a now scheme by any means all parts of the Dominion have too often experienced the same sort of thing but it is only since the present Government assumed office that any kind of a check has been placed upon the railway corporations Friend and foe alike will be gratified to learn that reports of Hon Clifford aro assuring
