CANADA,S TARIFF TROUBLES.
Discrimination with the New Scheduled Note
or Defiance.

MONTREAL. May G.-Thc after comments OF
the English papers on the preferential proposals
in the new tariff are by no means so cnthusias-
tic as the first. 1t Is being seen that the exist.
ence of the favored. nation clauses in the trea-
ties with such formidable rivals OF English indus
try as Germany and Belgium, to say nothing OF
other countries. that are also binding on Canada,
places England in a serious dilemma II those coun-
triesinsist on their treaty rights. Then the feeling
Is growing here that unless England gives some
preference in her markets for CInEdian aRricul-
turnl and other products, the bargain is too
one-sidcd; and so far no responsible English
statesman or politician has %venturcd to hint Mt
such n thing. Also the men who. on the strength
OF the protective policy initiated by Sir John
Macdonald and his successors OF the Conserva-
tive party, invested largely in manufacturing
are unwilling TO be sacrificed TO sentiment, i'm
perial or otherwise.
The farmers, who, ii Ia pretended were most
considered in tho framing OF the tariff, are dis
satisfied, and the general public Is not in favor
OF IL policy that will turn Canada into a mere
raiser and exporter of foodstutfs and n field OF
exploitation for the rival manufacturers of
Europe. while nj the same time by the differcn-
tial duty shutting the door, both ways against
the very profitable trade with neNt-doOr neigh.
bors. Emphasis was given TO this feeling a few
days ago in a speech at a banquet at Hamil-
ton, Ont. when Mr.. Sanford Evans. who Ia
not unknown in New York, startled the audi
encc by declaring his conviction that Canada
had now reached the parting OF the WAYS, and
would take the road leading to indep ndence.
The Belgian Consul and commercial agent
here has formally requested that his country
shall be placed on the same level as Great Brit
ain In the operation of the preferential clauses
of the new tariff.

w. X. Van Bokkelen OF 1875 Cambridge plao0.

Declaration OF Independence signed by Gen.
Grant as a cadet at Wet Point The declare

We. the undersigned, do hereby agree that We viii
purchase nothing from Jno. De Witt after this date
except what we have already ordered or what Is alb

Mr.. Van Bokkelcn is one OF the few surviving
signcrs. lie says:
John De witt, in 1913 and previous to that,
was a storckecper al West Point. furnishing at
regulated prices the clothing required by tho
cadets, not only for use at the academy, but also
for outnts when graduating, consisting Of un-
dress uniform and civilian suits.
"In April, lsi3. unbcknown to the authort
ties, one Earl, "a prominent Boston tailor, visited
the Point and solicited orders from ne members
OF The class to graduate in June. Many gave
orders. as his prices were much lower than
De Wits. This coming to tho knowledge
OF tho authorities by information given to them
by Do Witt, Earl WAS required 20 leave the
Point and the class was forbidden 10 have any
more transactions Sith him.. 50 that those hav-
ing ordered their outfits from Earl were con-

This so outraged tho members OF the clssS
that they held an indignation meeting which ro-

very little toward getting. tho article into the

1t was too early in the season for
mosquitoes, but pleasant enough in the
evening, after supper, for Mickey Finn
and his father to seat themselves on
the back stoop and scent the odor of
growing things carried to them by the
evening breeze. The moon was yellow
and full Mr.. Finn was also pretty well
loaded with corned beef and cabbage.
The sedative smoke of 11od Carriers
Delight had soothed him into contem-
plative content. The pale moon, the
winliing stars, corned beef and cabbage,
tobacco and springtime perfumes are
sovereign adiuncts to bucolic satisfac-
ton. The time was ripe for quiet, phil
osophical disquisition.

ly solicitude, "are they tachin ye amy

ing, but still preserving the gravity of

"Begorra, that's quare intirely, sc
'tis," exclaimed Mr.. Finn. But tell me
