cARADA'S NEW Tariff.
Not Radical Change. out Framed to
Offset Some of the Dmgiey BiH's
Provisions


OTTAWA, CANADA, April 24.-The new
Canadian tariff outlined in Parliament
BY the Liberal administration is not a
radical departure from the old protective
tariff, and is generally considered a de-
cided step in the direction of free trade.
In some respects it is more favorable to
the United States than the old tariff
There is q moderate reduction of duties in
a large number of lines. and big cut ill
the duty on iron. woolsns, sugar, -four
cornmeal and agricultural staples. The
duty on mining machinery is abolished,
while corn is free, except for distilling
purposes.
American manufacturers must profit by
the removal of specific duties on iron and
steel, especially tn regard to a particular
article OF screws, in the manufacture of
which Canadians cannot successfully COM
pete. In refined sugar there is reduc-
tion OF IA cents per hundred pounds.
The tariff on spirituous and malt liquors
ana tobacco Is largely increased. The
duty on coal of 60 cents a ton is retain ed,
If the American Government would loave
the duty at 40 cents instead OF increasing
it TO IS cents. as proposed in the Dingley
bill, Canada is prepared to meet the
United States in that line. II, however,
the Dingley tax IS maintained, the Gov
eminent states that it will not only raise
the duty on bituminous coal to the same
figure, but will also restore the so cent
duty on anthracite.
The most important feature in the new
tariff is the double schedule. This new
departure from any policy before adopted
by Canada will probably seriously affect
the United States. By the announcement
of this fact the Government accepts the
idea of general tariff to be levied upon
| goods from countries giving Canada no
tIade advantages and of special tariff
| applicable to imports from Great Britain
and other countries that permit imp ports
of Canadian goods free OF duty or at min
| imun rates.
The Government views the policy Of tn e
nited States ana even the schedules of
| he Dingiey bill as not precluding the
| negotiation of q reciprocity treaty be-
| tween Canada and the United States If,
| however, the Dingley bill were to become
! q law il would seriously affect the trade OF
| Canada with the United States. Under
! these circumstances the Government. an
nounces that while it does not favor re-
| taliaiion II is we'll at present not to ex-
| tend to goods from the United States the
measure of tariff reform now brought
down. There is no hostility implied.
| United States products will be admitted
at former duties pending the time when
| the American Government may remove
| the barriers to freer interchange of trade
| commodities between the two countries.

Wrestling With English,

English speaking people are wont Il
think that other languages are mucl
more difficult to pronounce than theil
own. Particularly is this true with re-
gard to the vowel sounds of the Ian
guages. and, perhaps. more so with
regard to the German vowels than tC
others.
This is not the only truth. however
and others find as much difficulty In
pronouncing correctly the 20 different
vowel sounds in the English language
This was somewhat ludicrously illus
trated in the German department Of tn,
university recently.
Fraulein Schoen, instructor in Ger
man at the university. had not very
long ago the name of Harry Hare, a
well known young man on the east
side, on the class roll. The frauleir
was accustomed in calling the roll tc
address all the gentlemen in the class
as Herr So-and-so.
One morning Mr.. Hare was absent
from recitation, and when the frauleir
came to his name she called out:
Herr Harry Hare!'
No one responded.
"Herr Harry Hare" again called
Fraulein Schoen. while the class. no
ticing the ALTERATION, began to smile.
