AN The broad fact to be demonstrated was that the construction of the canal would be a great commercial gain both to this dis- trict as wellias to the country generally and this no one will we think be bold enough to deny. The Gazette : corres- pondent has erred in quoting xed rates at a certain time instead of averaging the freights. Freights both on lake and ocean vary greatly according to the season. The return freight by large ocean vessels now used for wheat etc. is frequently less than half the rates named by Observer and we are informed by one who gave evid- ence before the Commissionjthat occasion- ally they even pay a premium for it.

IDO Ieri stm stri nav con wit kin and eve Inrl ret anc con Igt The at Ihi wit Unless the gures in the evidence be- fore the Commission are false, ',the estimate given by Mr. Pepler is` as accurate as it is possible to make it. The gures can at least, however, be regarded as. ap- proximate, predicated on the probable re- salts of the Canal, as judged by other canals and notably the Erie Canal which is somewhat similar to the Trent Valley Canal. The discussion, however cannot be belittled by any minute or narrow calcu- lation as to the exact number of cents that would be saved on each transaction. stantially correct in everything he said in Canal. We believe this is fully susceptible _ ranirr 'vau_.n1tc_aNu.._ r p The success of the deputation to Ottawa in the interest of the Trent Valley Dana] scheme must be gratifying to all who have an honest interest in the progress and pros- perity of the country. The government` is unquestionably in favor of carrying to completion this most important water way, which, as well as being a `work of the greatest local value, is largely of a national character. It is essential to the obtaining of funds to complete the work that its national importance should be understood and accepted by the Dominion Parliament. It is therefore regrettable to nd a man who seeks to conceal his identity by -a nom-de plume doing his best to throw ob- stacles in the way. and trying to jeopar- dize it by disingenuous and fallacious statements. The writer in the Gazette is the very `last man who should be found in such unpatriotie employment. He affects a spirit of fairness by admit- . ting what no one disputes and endeavors to controvert the main ground on which _Federal aid is expected. The fact that the canal. is of first class importance local- lay is not denied, but it must be remem- bered that the application was not made to the Local but to the Federal Govern- ment and unless it could be shown that it was of interprovincial importance the chances of the passage of the grant in the House, composed of members from every province was more than lessened or jeopar- dized. The object of the writer in the Gazette seems, however, to be more to vent his spleen upon Mayor Pepler than to honestly discuss the merits of the Trent Valley Canal scheme. We have no hesitation in saying from information in our possession that Mr. Pepler was sub- his speech at Ottawa. He sought to demonstrate that for Manitoba wheat, Nova Scotia coal and Montreal commerce, the Trent valley Canal would be of greater advantage than the present com- munications by railway or the Welland of demonstration. 1-9- *THE NORTHERN ADVANCE, A - Q j-n- `Q `I4 I---..-. `A--.::g-n Uujurl IIUW Ill IYTUIII I01` IIIITDU IIIOII III! our will be chanted 01.60 Der snnnm. name or sunsonnmon.

' It is doubtful if in any age of the. world so many devices were used to cheat and defraud the simple, the unthinking, the unwary, and the greedy, as now. To get money without honest and pro-' , ductive labor has become a` veritable craze, and has developed an innitudeof devices for its accomplishment. Some of , the most common .of these are the so- called scripture prize competition, the p most- words-from4 a~g1ven ~ sentence com-p petition, the most popular preacher fad, the pill advertising game and others of a`! similar character. In all these cases the competitor has to contribute in some form or other to the funds of the establish- ment offering the prizes. We . "see no essential difference 4 between these ways of wheedling money out of the multitude and the lottery, which .in'Ontario is for- bidden as a fraud, and we think it is a high time for Parliament to include all `I these ways of getting money from the ` public in the statute that renders lotteries illegal. We are constantly asked to advertise these frauds, butwe feel it our duty, in the interests of the people and the cause of public morality, to demand that all such gambling affairs be promptly suppressed.
