The injustice and absurdity Of the Nc.
KiIley tariff bill such general dissatis-
factiSn that the Republicans are obliged
To abandon it. II IL conceded that the
bin can never become = Law, but the Re-
publican majority in the House has col
thoroughly committed itself that the bill
is expected TO pass the House BY strict
party vote. In the meantime the Re-
pul,licsns Of the Senate finance commit
tee are 1t work on another bill ~ q sub
stirute for the Mckinley bin. They ex-
pet to report II 70 the Ssn,lts very soon
after the Mckinley bill passes the
House.
This shows the impotsslce Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's spocious orstory, that csptivstss
careless crowd, TO convince the bust
ness interests Of the country Of the pro-
pnety of q single idea be entertsins on
the subject Of tariff.
The Republican joint clusus commit.
tee Of the House and Sens.s have agreed

The investigating committee on inter-
state commerce charged with inquiry in
to the relations OF railroads Of the United
States and Canada has concluded its
lauors. Chairman Cu:lom has completed
a report which, with sundy remedial
recommendations, awaits the approval Of
the committee The report states thst
the good effects Of the interstate COM
merce Law are partly nullified by the
competition Of the Canadian lines. I'M
just discrimination is made by Canada
against U. y. vessels in WelIsnd canal
tolls, in violation Of the treaty Of WASH
ington. The Csnsoian railroads control
lines operating over large part Of New
England and Northern States. Canada
owns a system VI canals that cost s54-
000,OO0 The intar-colonial railway has
cost ri, 900, 900. To the Canadian Pacif.
ic railroad, which was begun ~ . govern
ment line, Canada has contributed t2l5,-
000, 900, but the road cost only tl67 co.,
900. The report states that it has been
the unconcealed purpose Of the Canadian
government to secure . railroad across
the continent Of commanding influence
which, in connection with subsidized
steamer lines, would be able 10 dominate
the transcontinentsl commerce Of the
United States and defect from American
railroads. vessels and seaports large
share of our commerce with countries Of
Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In
this endeavor 1t has met with marked
success and is progressing. Canada sub
sidizes two lines Of steamers from Van
couver, the western terminus Of the Cam
anian railroad, with s425 200; and one
lire from st. Johns, N. B., its eastern
terminus, receives 3 subsidy Of 1901, 900.
The report refers to conference Of the
commercial and industrial bodies Of the
Pacific coast held at San Francisco, July,
1889. The report Of the conference de-
clares that with such special advantages
the Canadian Pacific could afford to auote
rates that must drive American steamer
lines out Of the China trade, to the al.
most irreparable injury Of San Francisco.
and predicts general destruction for the
larger part Of the American steamer traf-
fc on the Pacific ocean, unless some Wig
orous measures be adopted by the U. 9.
government.
