To tamper with symptoms indicative of

The Bonding Privilege

The application of the Canadian Pacific
for bonding privileges is still pending In
the treasury department A Washington
special to the Boston journal says:
1t appears that the application of the
Canadian Pacific to the treasury depart.
ment 1t even broader than has been sup
posed. The Canadian Pacific company
asks the treasury department to give II
authority to transport from any port or
point in the United States to any mort or
point in the United States through the
Dominion of Canada by railway or by
vessel. The application, If granted ac-
cording to its terms, would give the Ca
nabian Pacific company the right to par
ticipate In the coasting trade of the Unit
ed States. The application asks, in fact,
Tor permission to enter into the coastinp
trade of the United States in competition
as to domestic products of the United
States, with the common carriers of the
United States. In making their applica.
ton so broad the attorneys for the Cana
dian Pacific Railway company appear To
have been singularly misinformed as TO
the statutes Of the United States, and the
powers OF the secretary of the treasury.
The latter officer has no power to change
Inc navigation laws or to legislate; but a
compliance with part Of the request OF
the application of the Canadian Pacific.
namely, that part which requests the per.
mission as TO vessels, would be In viola.
ton OF the navigation laws of the Unit
ed States, and especially Of Section 4 ,357,

portation of merchandise. under such cir.
cumstances, from one port In the Unit
Cd states to another port of the United
States In vessel belonging wholly or in
part TO any foreign power"

1t was not many years ago that the
cottonwood tree was considered useless
for the purposes of lumber Today it Is
crowding white pine out of the market
for certain purposes, and large fortunes
arc being made all along the Mississippi
river out of this wood, which was once
despised as much in that field as garfish
always has been among fishermen. In
New Orleans white pine is worth S35
thousand, while yellow cottonwood
brings $65. For the ceiling Of grain
barges it is invaluable, as grain cannot
sweat in it. Every cracker box in use in
this city today is made of cottonwood,
and it cannot be excelled for fruit bar
rels. do not know why this is so, but
1t is u fact, nevertheless. Cottonwood
will hold nails and can be used for build
ing, and it is also capable of a fine polish
after certain treatment, and it is much
priced for interior decorations. There
are now men rich because they own
tracts covered with cottonwood, who five
years ago would have traded an acre of
it for yellow dog. Louis Globe

A Solid Illustration

Mr. Cleveland, the great apostle Of tn,
Free Trade, says; The primary ant
plain effect of tariff duties is to raise tn,
price to consumers of all articles import
ed and subject to duty by precisely th,
sum paid for such duties"
The 5000 900 of people now in the
United States have, in their multifarious
occupations, an almost unlimited use fol-
files A few years ago the United States
procured II les from the English and Con,
tinental file makers. This article was moi
made here. The European files were
handmade. Soon after 1861 Congress
imposed duty of ~ 50 per dozen on
files over IA inches long. At about tina,
date Mr.. Nicholson, of Providence, X.
l., invented a machine for the fabrication
of files. A file mandatory was erected
and the making of American files was
commenced. There are now in the couu-
try l50 Networks, turning out annually
an enormous number of lles of every
kind and size, aud of a quality superior
TO the European fife.
The result of this American manufac-
ture has been that in 1887 IS the Euro
pean ille-makers exported less than $50
worth of files TO the United States. The
American manufacturers of files are now
supplying files at so to SO. 10 per dozen
for l4-inch, against $3.50 per dozen-the
English net price before the manufacture
of files was begun in the United States
The American duty on flies is not tax
on the users of files, as results conclu-
sively show. The duty has protected
American manufacturers in their under
takings, and the competition between
them has reduced the prices to the users
to figure 40 to so cents per dozen less
than the duty imposed on foreign-made
1les.-EG.
