Some unfortunate newspapers swallowed this

1t was the remarkable results OF working n
single bar in the Stewart River that led to tho
influx of about 800 miners in the following sea-
son and the discovery of gold on Forty Milo

South Carolina is famous for his gifts Of

only that modern manifestation Of him, the

A Just and Wise Tax Under the American

byutt".
From tho Rdfltnop and Engineering Review.
The discriminating duty OF 10 per cent. nd valorem
which, under the new tarin law, is imposed ION all
goods. wares. or merchandise which shall be import
ed in vessels not Of the United States. or which. being
the production or manufacture OF any foreign country
not contiguous to the United States. shall come into
the United States from such contiguous country. " is
exciting considerable discussion and provoking ex-
pressions OF opinion OF various kinds. For ourselves
we are unable to see wherein there is an thing unjust
in such duty. provided 1t Is admitted that the prin-
ciple of Justice underlies the application OF any tariff
duty. In the protests that are made the Canadian
railroads are referred to as the sufferers thcrefrom,
hut 1t will be noticed that the rule applies equally to
vessels not OF tho United States. The intention OF
the law. therefore, is evidently to put all foreign car.
riers on tho same plane. and in that aspect OF the
case there is no more injustice in subJecting the rail
carrier TO such o tax than that the water carrier
should be made to pay. There is certainly nothing

Tho city of New York may be. as It has been. tho
pivot of national struggles. The verdict there will
affect and may determine the verdict of the whole
country. The future OF the city. and indirectly the
political future of the nation. will be largely moulded
by the character and results OF the first administrL
ton. For this reason the entire country has an i'm.
