CANADA'S BIWT Our ,neighbors on the north are raising a great howl because the United States imposes the same tariff rates on goods imported from the Dominion of Canada that are charged on goods from other foreign countries. Thsy want a recipro city tariff that will enable them to reach our market as cheaply, or nearly so. as our own citizens can, who pay taxes to keep up our government Feeling their inability to offer any reasonable consider ation for the change in our revenue laws they resort to bluff, and threaten retalia tory tariff rates on our own goods. Suppose they do enact retaliatory rates that will be practically prohibitory, and stop all trade between the United States and Canada which country would be the greater loser? The Dominion of Canada is not a free trade country, a large pro portion of the revenuee are derived from custom house duties on imported goods. The total revenue of the Dominion for the year ending June 30th., 1902 was $52. 614.701. of which $28,425,284 were from customs. This was collected from total imports which that year amounted to $212,270,168 and on which duties aggregating $28,425,284 were collected on the $t28,955.254 worth of imports of the kind customs were collected, show. ing the average tariff rate on all duteanle goods that enters Canada is 21.44 per cent of the value. . ! In the year 1903 we imported from British 'North Amsrica $16,432,482 worth of goods that entered free and $39,217,174 on which custom duties were collected. The same year we sold to that ' country stuff of the value of $125,776,203 on which custom- charges were paid. The whole -. commerce between the two eountriee show that we purchase from British North America $70,1 26,647 more than we sell J Wa need not be frightened at the bluff, unlsss wrtfreee modifies 6u-Uriff laws to suite h few speculstora'and prospective cattle and wheat growers they wilt fence us out of that country yrith high tariff. The government assay office at Seattle is now receiving attention from Director of the Mint Geo. E. Roberts and every employee may be removed. Judge C. A. Sehlbrede of Marshfield, Coos Bay, has announced himself as a candidate for governor, subject to ths wishee of the Republican constituency. It looks very much as though the President's rate bill will meet with little opposition. - - Much of the criticism of the Panama canal is inspired by the railroads. The transcontinental roads would like to ses ths scheme fail or have the completion of the canal delayed as long as possible. These roads havs the entire Pacific coast enthralled. They make us subsidiary to eastern manufacturers In order that they can get the haul across the continent The men who wish to go upon the cheap land of British North America and grow grain or raise stock for market in the United States find much fault with ths Dingley tariff, which is 30f a bushel on barley, 25 f a bushel on wheat 2( pound on beef, mutton and pork, cattle over one year old 67,' per cent advalo rum, cheese 6(f per pound, ham and bacon 6f per pound, hides raw 15 per cent on value, and wool from 7f per pound to 1 2 cents. Our farmers and stock men have so far not made complaint Ths completion of the Panama canal would break this up. It will help the railroads ultimately, as they would get more for the short haul from point to point as factories and other freight pro ducers would be established on the coast TO THE CHILDREN.
