 It is the object of certain otlicialsof tlie ("aiiiuliaii I'ai-iHn ilailway Company and ])c)litic)anM in .sympathy 
 witli tliat (.Company, to create tiie impression on the minds of the public of the Dominion and of (ireat 
 Ihitiiiii, that tiie wlioK- agitation existiuLf in tliis Province on the (piestion of disaUowancc of raih-oad charters 
 I'ranted l)y the LcLjislatiire of .Manitoba, i.s conliind ti> tlie citizens of (lie City of \Viiini])i'i;, and tliey )iubiicly 
 and throuj^ii the nuiliinn of tlieir sub-^idizcd press, are continually reiterating this statement and declaring 
 that tlie lesidcnts of tiiis Province oiitsi'i,' of Winnipeg arc ]ie'foctly satisfied with tln^ mono|)ply which is 
 at present nnjnstly enjoyed by the Canadian Paeitic Railway ( 'oni[)any. 
 
 As I, :amples of the utterances of this description, two are herein givcii. 
 
 Sir George Stephen, in his letter receiitly address<>d to the shareholdeis i)f the C'ana<liaii Pacific Rail- 
 way Company, uses the f(>llowing wmiU : 
 
 " The pn.'seiit agitation in Winnipeg Is cliieHy damaging in its etfeet> nn the Provinie itself. The intem- 
 
 iierate, sensational and ridicninus \ilteranci s of a siM-tion of the local press nre printed and read abroad with 
 
 alarm, and the elfects upon eiuigiation and ujjon the credit of every enter|)ris(> in the ProviniM' has already 
 
 been most serious, Your directors believe, however, that this agitation, like those which have preceded it, 
 
 ,i-;m .i;>oi,iw.nv iw ..iiMMi OS thft iicoole of the cnuntrv eoini! to uiidi'r-,tand tlic facts and discover the motives of 
 •"""'■'"■It"' •' ■■• -I, [■ . 
 
 tliose by whom it was created. 
 
 W. C. VanHorne, the vice-president of tin- ( '. P. R. Co., used the.9e words : 
 
 " 'IMiere are a do/en or ninri^ men in Wuiuipei:, ha\iiiga prominence of a ecitain kin 1, who are wiuking 
 for annexation iiecause thi'\ think it w:ll suit their personal ends, and when such men control an imjiortant 
 .scetion of the iiublic )iress and succi'c d in working up a great public excitiiiieiit there is ilanger that they 
 may turn it in the direction they want it b) go." 
 
 Of course these gentlemen ignore comi)lctely the existence of the resnlutions passed by nmnicipalities 
 in all parts of Manitoba, condemning disallowance and encouraging the .Manitoba Legislature to carry on the 
 work of eomitleting the Red Kiver Valley road. 
 
 It i.s extremely advisable af'this present time' that the miniieipal I'otmcils in all parts of the Province 
 . hould speak out again and repudiate the false a,ssertiims ..f the Canailian Paeitic olheials. so that the share- 
 holders of chat company will e pUce<l in possession of the facts, cimtrary to the .■xpeetations of Sir Ceori;e 
 Stephen. 
 
 You will find enclosed a iilatform of the .Manitolia Aiiti-|tisallow;iiico As.so<-iiuiou whieh is being largely 
 Kukscribed to here, and it is our sincere hope that you will bring the matter befoic your conned at once si, 
 that thev can enchu'se the |)osition taken therein liy this Association, and the truth lie made knosvn to uur 
 friends in the east ami in (beat Ibitain, 
 
 If from any .aiise, it is impossdile, at .an early date, v get your council together, we beg to suggest that 
 iicn pemni'illn give an endorsalion of the ]ilatf'(.rm ]neNented, and that aft.M' having d.me so yon organi/.e a 
 a branch as.sociati(Ui find get mnny tru(^ friends of Manitoba to sign the constitution, sending ns as soon 
 as pD.ssible a list of the members. The by-laws, of I'ourse, can be" altered to suit the circumstances of your 
 local ea,se, at'd it is |uvsumed you woulU not require any entrance fee as is rc(piired by the Winnipeg Ibaneh 
 which has printing and other e\]jenses to meet. 
 
 It is essentially nei'essary that no time be lost in making the- organizathiu large and inliuiMitial so that its 
 •strength when published in Caiiack and (beat liritain will eounteract the b.uiel'ul effect of Sir Ceorge 
 Stephen's misleading and \intruthful statements. 
 
 t)ur eneudi's are crafty an'd are not hesitating to adojit any means to givi' a false .'olor to our actions. 
 Sir Co'orgi' Stephen deld>i.'rately mis.|uoting exliaeis IVom the wording of the ( 'aiiadian Pacific Railway Com- 
 pany's charter, in hi-i attempt to mislead the sliavoholders of the C.mpany, and his subsidized press arc daily 
 grimling out falsehoods. We must iherefore take every honorable means within our reach to cKpjwe th.ir 
 infamoirs methods, by giving the facts to the world. 
 
 Your kiml assislanee is therefore urg.Mitly reque.sb'il by th.^ Council of this A.ssociation, who feel a.ssnred 
 that yon fully realize the gravity of the situation and the necessity for prompt action.
