crate greatly to the disadvantage of our own
transportation interests in competition with
Canadian lines. Those who make these COM
plants insist that the conduct of the Dominion
government towards our transportation and
other interests, both on the land and water,
does not suggest any ground for the extension
OF tavors on our part, and they protest against
such acts of international courtesy at the ex-
pense of the very interests which Canadian
policy has persistently sought to destroy.
Several hearings have been given to persons
interested in this subject, which will receive
careful consideration with view to removing,
as far as proper and practicable, any just
cause of complaint against the action of this
department,
CIVIL SERVICE.
The past years experience of the excellent
working of the civil service law, supplemented
as it is in this department by a thorough sys-
TEN OF departmental examinations for promo
tions, adopted twenty years ago. leads me to
emphasize what was said on this subject in nv
last annual report.
Inasmuch as the current year has included
an active political canvass in all the States, it
is deemed not inappropriate to say that SO far
as this department is concerned, there has
been entire and uniform compliance with the
requirements of law respecting the collection
OF money for political purposes from govern
ment employees. All such employees, regard
less of political preferences, have been, and
have apparently felt, quite as much at liberty
as other citizens to contribute or refrain from
contributing for the benefit of the political
party of their choice.

The secretarys attention has been frequently
directed to the unsatisfactory condition Of
Canadian railway traffic with the United States,
and many complaints have been made that the
rules and regulations of this department,
touching the bonding and sealing of cars, dis
criminate against our own people. 1t is man
ifestly unjust to accord Canadian railroads
privileges denied to our own. 1t
certainly was not the intent of Con-
gress to relieve those roads from obligations
imposed upon our own transportion compa-
mics. Yet the practical working of the law,
under the construction insisted upon by the
Canadian companies, leads to that result II
their construction be accepted, Canadian rail-
roads, not under bonds for the purpose, may
transport dutiable merchandise from seaports
in Canada to places within the United States,
with only nominal customs supervision, while
our own railroads can not carry like merchan-
alse from Atlantic and Pacific ports in the
United States, to points wholly within our own
