CATERING TO A COMPETITOR.

Senator Elkins spoke to the point the other
day on the subject of Canadian competition with
American trade Such competition would not
be serious II only Canada were behind IT, But
1t is backed by the whole British Empire, and
that backing IS becoming stronger and more
direct every day. The Canadian Pacific Rail
road is an Imperial institution. The steamship
lines that connect its terminals with Asia on
the one hand and with Europe on the other are
fostcred by Imperial subsidies. The new lines
that are now being organized to divert com
merce to Quebec and Halifax, and away from
Boston and New-YOrk, are Under Imperial pat
rOnavc The Pacific cable that Is to be laid
from Vancouver TO New-Zealand, Australia and
Asia Is a purely Imperial affair. And now the
British Government IS planning to bind all men,
bers of It's world wide empire into n self-prO-
tective customs union, to wage tariff war
against every other land. That Is the situation.
We may call certain features OF 1t Canadian
competition. 1t Is really the whole British
Empire that Is commercially arayed against
u.s. OF that In itself, there Is no occasion 10
complain. This country asks no favOrs Of any
other land 1t IL able to hold its own in compc-
titiOn with the world; or will be as soon as 1t
gets back to its own sound American system,
which Its chief rival is about to try to copy.
But IL 1t asks no favors, there Is no reason why
II should 90 out OF It's way to grant them, to
its own grievous injury, to its most dangerous
competitor. Yet that is just what 1t has long
been doing. That Is what it Is doing today.
That IL what Senator Elkins vehcmently pro-
tests against That Is what, we are inclined to
think, the American people are at last getting
their eyes opened to, and what they will pres
emily lay legislative hands upon. with sautary
effect.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad Is a foreign
concern 1t IL rival Of American railroads
and American commercial interests. II Is openly
and actively hostile to American trade Yet
this country Is granting II privileges and show
ing 1t favors which are denied to our own roads.

4 PUBLIC BUILDING SCANDAL.

The prcsentment Of the Grand Jury concern
ing the Registers Office II Il severe one, but
not one whit too severe. II declares that the
Office building In both dlsgraccfully unclcan and
pcrilously unsafe. Both statements are exactly
true. 1t would not he easy to find In the slums

for respectable human beings TO dwell in, or
even 10 visit. than the much-frequcntcd munic.
ipal office. There il probably not In all the
world another example OF property OF so great
value as the contents Of that building being so
loosely held and daily subject to so imminent
peril Of loss by theft or fire. Compared with
the way in which the property records Of New
York are kept, and have been kept for years, for
the British Government TO take the Crown Jew
els from the Tower and stack them on street

What an amazing anomaly! We have an Inter
state Commerce law. to which all American
roads are subject. The Canadian road Is inde-
pendent Of IL and violates 1t. on orr own terri'
tory with impunity. For the bulk OF us proh'-
able business is done in the United states IL

eminent subsidies and the revenue IL draWS
from this country. 1t Is carrying freight from
the interior of the United States to the racine
coast. and is, as Mr. Ekns says. sharp COM
pettor with all the Pacific roads to and from
California for all their carrying trade WORST
of all, it Is an unfair competitor. for while our
roads are handicapped. or ut least reStraineu
and regulated by the Interstate Commerce law
II is entirely free therefrom. 1t cuts rates NJ

cause to fear Il. On such unequal terms 1t is
doing them serious harm and Is serious NEIL
ace to our whole transconincntal and trans
Pacific trade.
Not only are we permitting that alien road

spccial laws in It's favor There is system IN

cut into the Legitimate trade OF the United
States. Again and again attention mas Dech
called 10 the gross injustice of this system, and
efforts have been made to have II repealed. But
the agents at Washington OF the Canadian
road and not merely Of it but OF the British
Government, have succeeded. in devious ways
best known to lobby experts. in defeating all
such efforts and in keeping their advantage I'M
impaired We shall see now much longer they
will be able to enjoy the fostering care of Ameri-
can laws in their campaign against American
industrial interests Mr.. Elklns speaks frankly
and forciby for the Immediate and total aboli-
ton OF this bonding privilege. Such action. he
SAYS. would divert Asian trade from Vancouver
TO San Francisco and Puget Sound. and send II
eastward thence over our own transconincntal
lines: and II would largely stop this hagrant
violation Of an American law by foreign cor
poration on American soil Such are Mr.. FL
klns's views. and we should not be at AL sur
prised II the great majority OF the American
pcoplc were found to agree with him

The present is not good time to start strike,
hut the employees Of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company are threatening to quit work
because certain Of them have been discharged
for what they allege to be trivial reasons The
main question however. seems to be the recogni-
ton by the company Of the employees organiza-
lion. This would seem to be the clearest sort OF
case for wise arbitration, and 1t is 10 be hoped
that disposition to resort to that means OF set
Ting the difficulty will be shown on both sides.
Thus far the leaders Of the men are inclined to
pursue a conservative course, and they say that

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The first OF April has passed with its quar-
tcrly settlements. and there Is among bankers
u general feeling Of satisfaction because much
fewer failures and much less disturbance have
resulted than they had apprchended A better
tone results. more lending on commercial paper
and. the part OF substantial borrowers more
willingness to put out such paper. Still. the
commercial loan market Is far from active
measured by experience In prosperous years
and there IL great discrimination exercised In
taking paper the general preference for loans
on readily negotiable securities making the
call rate fall per cent below that charged on
commercial loans. OF which very few are placed
below per cent. Ii IL not reasonable that
such difference should exist. because times
OF pressure and trouble always find the stock
market mere slaughtcrh house, and In these
days when there Is practically no market for
stocks OF known and substantial value, the
difficulty Of realizing on securities In any sud
den stress would be great.
What the stock market actually is Its rec

only 7sG.759 shares sold OF all kinds. not enough
