on this line been diminishing ever since the

the competition became so strong the past

Those. lir,zwere the views“! entertained

nor heard enything since to change them.-
It is true that the pretext is now set up that
the State has sold themain line of the public

that. therefore. the necessity for its contin—
uance has ceased. My ansérer to this aug~
