For years the Metropolitan have “been trying to get to the Union Sta- tion, and the Toronto Railway Com- pany have been equally desirous of running to Mount Pleasant cemetery ~0ver the Metropolitan line. As the two companies could not agree as to “terms, the Metropolitan offered to settle the matter by arbitration but nothing was done. As a last resort, as everybody knows, the Metropoli- tan altered the gauge of the rails so as to coincide with the C. T’. R. But that is not the matter under «consideration. The question is, Should the Railway Committee of the 3Pri-vy Council have allowed the ‘fiuncfiion of the .two railway lines at THE LIBERAL agrees with The ‘World that the Metropolitan service 'is not nearly so satisfactory as it .ought to be. We .are satisfied the aompany would make more money by lowering their rates and bystudy- 3mg more the interests of 'the travel- ling public. They should 'be com- spelled by the proper authorities to stick to their agreements with the County Council, which they do not. The World of Monday endeavors to be funny at the expense of THE LIBERAL. In an article of nearly three-quarters of a column in length it criticizes our remarks last week on the stand taken by the City Council to prevent the connection between the Metropolitan and the C. P. R. tracks at North Toronto. After a , good deal of gush in which the editor 20f this paper is thanked on behalf of East York’s M. P., it is said that THE LIBERAL “ misconceives the aim of The World.” Not at all. The World is opposed to the proposed vconncction being made except on terms agreeable to Toronto, and there «can be no misconception about it“ "The World maintains that the On- ttario Government should exercise a scontrolling jurisdiction over the Met- ropolitan‘and all electric railways, compel an interchange of running‘ rights of one road over the other; throughout the province, and regufi ilate the rates so that passengers would be allowed to travel at a cent .a mile. It would no doubt be very nice for \the public to travel at one-third the rate they are now paying, but we think it would be most unjust for the Ontario government or any other 'Government to compel the trolley company to carry their passengers for a cent a mile. Will The World dare to say that if it had money to 'invest it would take stock in the Met- Topolitan Railway if the company were forced to carry passengers on :the above terms? We think not. Men of means have often been heard complaining of the valuable fran~ chise given to the Metropolitan Railâ€" w'ay Company but when they are askedu’to buy some of the stock they will soon tell you they want none of it. The World claims to be putting up a. fight so that “ the Richmond Hill cars can run right down to St. Lawrence market and to the Union ’Station over the irons of the Toronto Railwav Company and in that way will the good relations between the entire length of Yonge Street and the city be extended and unified." Had The World thrown itself into mhe fight two or three years ago when fiche Metropolitaan Company were using their best endeavors to get running powers to the heart of the city, some. :thing might have been accomplished, but it is a little late to commence now.

The good work inaugurated the Laurier Government when it put into operation a policy of preferential trade with the Mother country is slowly but surely bearing fruit. Re" cognizing how deeporootcd are the principles of free trade in England, permeating the masses of her people to an extent that makes them shy (f any suggestion of even a semblance of protection, our Government realiz- ed the utter futility of attempting .to secure any reciprocity of preference at first, but believed that :a practical demonstration of Canada’s good-will would do more than aught else to reach the desired goal. The prin- ciple-of government in England is that of true democracy .and the voice of the people prevaily every time, so that every new departure is reached by educating the people to realize its desirability. That process of edu- cation is now going on, and the work will be aided by the :action of the To- ronto Board of "Trade in deciding to submit to the approaching Conference of the Chambers of Commerce of the Empire, a strong resolution urging the adoption of " Commercial policy ’based upon the principle of mutual benefit, whereby each compoteut part of the Empire would receive a substantial advantage in trade as the result of their national relationship.” In this way there is reasonable pros- pects of accomplishing the desired end, which would never be secured by adopting the “ stand and deliver" policy so long urged by Sir Charles Tapper and his followers. Short, sharp and decisive will pretty accurately describe the local campaign now taking place in Mani- toba. Both parties are fully prepar- ed for the fight and each is endeavor- ing to cut out the pace for the other. The Government with a record he- hind it of twelve years faithful, economical and progressive adminis- tration, appeals with well-founded confidence for a renewel of .p0wer, while the Opposition are introducing many side issues into the campaign. Headed by Sir Charles Topper, Fed- eral Oppositionists-aie stumping the Province, literally night and day, though it is not clear why leaders in the Federal arena sould take such an immense interest in the local affairs of Manitoba. But the farmers of the Prairie Province are a hard headed lot of men. They have had practical experience of the benefits of govern- ment by men of knowledge and ex~i perience, of a policy that has opened up the country by the construction of i 1,100 miles of railway, enabling? them to bring their products to thel market in the least time and at a minimum cost; a. policy that has re- moved all internal friction and given equal rights to all races and creeds, a policy which has done so much toin~' crease the population of the Province by bringing in good settlers, and thereby decrease the individual cost of living, ‘by dividing public expend- iture among the greater number of taxpayers. The prospects are very bright for Mr. Green-way long con- tinuing to hold the distinction of be-; ing the oldest Premier in the Domin- ion.

Did you ever notice how few peo- ple are original in things they say and do? For instance, one man makes a fortune out of a simple thing; immediately hundreds of others try it. This is human nature. While it is gratifying to be the “first man ” to bring out an idea, the great mass must be content to follow their leaders. There is one line that is al- ways original, however, and that is the business of Bradley-Garretson 00., Limited, of Brantford, Ont, he~ cause they continually bring out pub- lications to suit the times and seasons, thus their agents are kept steadily at it and make big money. In fact, no other occupation is more honorable, healthful, lucrative, or ofi'ers half as many opportunities for promotion. It is a life school.
