The Reform Party was always opposed to a hasty or Immediate completion of the road. Let it keep step with the needs 01 the country, that is, With the march of immigra- tion, was its constant advice.

Instead of jealously enacting that the byndicate should perform its part of the contract, Sir John Mac- dpnald and his colleagues systemat- ically burked all enquiries. as to what the country was receiving in return for the gveat public outlay. a member of parliament express his doubts as to the grading, curves, bridges of the road, and asked for information thereon, instantly a hue and,cry was raised. He 15 a traitor, he is a vile Grit, he . is seeking to cut his country's throat. Did an- other member ask if it was true that the Syndicate was divesting its cap- ital to enterprises, alien to its inten- tion, he was told to mind his own business. Our Minister of Railways consistently play ed the role of apolo- gist, panegyrist, or agent ofthe Syn- dicate, but never had a word to aay in defense ot the interests of Canada. In tact, the contracting parties were ‘ not, as the innocent supposed them to be, Canada and the C. P. R. Syndicate, but canada on the one side, and the C. P. R. Syndicate and the Ottawa Cabinet on the others: When the present scheme for the building of the ORR. was inaugur- ated, -all believed, many conceded, thatplthe price paid by the Govern- mentwas much too high. But it was argued with constderable force that even ifa lew millions were be- ing lost in the bargain, the trans- action was at least final. The con- struction of the road was ensured to the country, and whatever difficul- ties or losses might be in the future, on the shoulders of the Syndicate, and on them alone. they all Inust fall" This was truly a conselation? foneven ayery considerable over- charge.

A' grave crisis which will effect the Dominion to its very centre IS imminent. The C. P. R.

The Ottawa Government is afraid, but not unwilling, to grant further aid. And now. we are told that notwithstanding the collosal amount in money and lands which this company has received to build our trans-continental line, notwith- standing the gigantic eflorts which Canada has, at the command of one ‘man, made to ruin herself in order that a corporation of speculators might grow rich .and be happyâ€"we age now held that unless fresh en- deavors are made,and made at once, to fill this ever gaping maw, our doom willhe Bankruptcy.

At the time it was decided that it should be pur- chasedJnany Were doubtful of the wisdom of the choice, but the great majority were charmed with the idea of our pos- sessing. so large a piece of ground for so little money, that they carried the day. Like “ X. Y. Z” I a.“ earnestly in furor of having a park lot for recreation and public purposes, but I think that con- venience, utility, and economy should be considered, none of which are discernible in the choice we have made. The selec- tion is too large to get into and keep in proper condition. too distant to be easy of access, in summer for a promensde, or in winter for a skating rink, too expen- sive to drain, and too irregular in shape to be enclosed for exhibition or club pur- poses. 'l‘here is a most uncomfortable probability that the whole sum placed in the hands of the Council will be sunk, in the mud, and what is worse, th _ it ‘will require an annual outlay (whi ‘mea‘iu taxation) to keep it from sinking, out of sight. If there is to be a reconsideration and it change, it is to be hoped that our pet-ple will choose a. smaller lot but three or four acres, such as can be purchssed. dralncd, fenced and fitted up,so its to be, easy of access and attractive to younglpnd old, for the sumdevated for ,that pur- pose.

To the Editor of the LIBERAL: “'e believe that Municipal Coun- cils by an Act of Parliament have the power to grant a bonus for tree- filanting, but which in the past has not been made use of as much as is desirable. In anothtr issue, we will endeavor to show what en- couragement Councils may bestow on those who take an interest in beautifying their homes and coun- trv. The Ontario Government should be commended ior starting this movement of reporting year by year, from which much good has already resulted, and more will subsequently follow. note the pleasant effect produced on one's mind and spirits, in contrast With that produced by a country destitute of all shrubbery and green foliage. No one who has ever travelled through a country dotted here and there with clusters of trees, waving their broad green leaves can fail to Some months ago, when writing on the subject of Forestry, we allud- ‘ ed to the muoh-to-be-regretted fact, that the different varieties ot timber which once studded our fair prov- ince were passing rapidly away. In ‘future. it is our intention to pay more attention to this neglected sub- ject, to the dangers of deforestlng, [O the preservation of the patches of forest which still exist, and to the encouragement which tree-planting in Ontario should receive from diff- erent sources. Mr. R. W. Phipps. Forest Conservator, at the instanCe of the Ontario Government, has is- sued his Forestry Report for the year 1884, which furnishes a usetul store of information. The report contains a statement of the injuries caused to a country by the too gen- eral clearing of the forests. to which we will hereafter refer. Numerous statements from farmers in every part of Ontario are given,describing the state of Forestry in their par- ticular districts. the results they themselves have obserVed from too general clearing, what particular trees or methods of planting have succeeded best in their localities, and the benefits which have result- ed from the establishment of wind breaks and shelter belts, where any such have been grown near them, leaVe 1t until our readers vividly realize the position which the coun- try now holdsâ€"the victim of one of the moat rapacious corporations ever formed.
