NOT TIE CITY's BUSINESS.

While all good citizens of Seattle are
pleased At the prospect of an early settle
ment of the long controversy concerning
the rams horn right-of-way. 1t does not
follow that the city should bear the ex.
pense. or any portion Of the expense, at
tendant upon that settlement The prop
erty holders directly interested are the
ones upon whom this expense should fall,
aud it is altogether unreasonable for them
to ask that the city assist them to the ex-
tent Of s. coo. as is proposed.
The city. unfortunately, has all that IL
can do 10 take care OF its own legitimate
obligations. II cannot go out OF its way
TO assist the water front property holders
in arranging their right-of-way differences
with the railroads. The property holders
are so directly and so greatly interested
that they should not hesitate to bear the
expense incident to the proposed change.
II they do not choose to do SO it certainly
il not the province of the city to help
them.

CANADA AND THE TARIFF.

Under the Wilson tariff bill the com.
pe,ltive products of the Dominion which
will be thrown upon the American market
of our northern frontier states will include
coal. lumber in all its forms. wood pulp.
granite. lime. baekwhes;, oats, potatoes.
hay. hops, barley, s,srcn. wool, sheen,
horned cattle. horses and fish.
In the production and sale OF such COM
modiiies We cannot compete with Canada.
not only because il possesses superior
transportation facilities. but mainly be-
cause the cost OF labor is nearly - rcr
cent lower in the Dominion than IL is in
the Cnitrd States

Ii - more valuable than either the wheat
crop or she corn crop and nearly a. vagu.

combined.

found it, way into the markets OF she

prca,abls 20 the hay importers because in
the Dominion the wages of farm lahorers
