wmAT uouLp WE Expncr.

There is great stir on the Pacific
coast, caused by the announcement
that the government Of Victoria, Aus
tralia. has undertaken TO retaliate for
the Mckinley bill. The blow falls
largely upon the Pacific coast. The
duty on Oregon Pine has been in
creased to s6.25 per thousand feet and
that upon canned fruit to Is cents a
can. What makes thislatter tax more
exasperatine is the fact that for sever
al years past California has been
building up an excellent market for
their canned fruit In Australia. and
Victoria's tariff is prohibitory Has
the United States a right to expect
any better treatment The ayowed
purpose Of the Mckinley bill was to
shut out from the United States the
products OF other countries. Why
should we expect other countries to
buy our goods If we refuse to buy
theirs 2 No trade can long remain
one-sided, and if all countries should
pursue the policy Of shutting out the
products of ali other countries com
merce would cease and each land
would have to depend upon its own
products andwe would be reduced to
the condition Of savage nations. That
is the outcome Of prohibitory tariffs
The destruction Of commerce.

The preliminary survey of the pro-

along the Potomac, from Cherry Run
to Harper's Ferry, has been finished.
The line will have grade of not more
than six feet to the mile. reconstruct
ed, this route will be used exclusively
for heavy loaded east bound freight
trains, and the old portion for passen4
gerand west bound empty freighttrains.
The object seems to be to avoid pull
ing up the heavy grade of eighty feet
to the mile below Cherry Run, and
blocking of the road by delayed freight
trains. 1t is expected if this place of
road is built it will be done by the first
of next June.
