Why Increase the Coal Duty?

Under the existing tariff bitumiLous
coal pays 40 cents ton. The Dingley
bill proposes to make this 75 cents. In
1896 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were i ,243, $50
tons The exports were 2,246,2S4. The
figures for Ganadawere: Imported from
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc.,
1923, ,404 tons; from Quebec, Ontario,
ETC., 39,9S7; from British Columbia,
627, 1857; exports to these three divisions
respectively, 41s tons. 1,671,302 and
3,094. Canada now proposes in case the
Dirgley rate is imposed to retaliate by
high duty on our coal, which will
certainly not stimulate exports. Here
is al export business worth twice as
much as the corresponding import bust
ness, and it is proposed torun the risk
Of running the former for the sake Of
screwing $3.50. 600 taxes out of the lat
ter, and this on the plea of reviving
American industry. Can any sane man
fail to see that, even assuming that
imports do not fall off, it is hardly
worth while for the sake of paltry
$3.50, 900 to tempt Canada into running
an esta blished business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield che taxi

LOST IN CARS.


Some curious things are picked up by
sleeping car rCrt'rs, and a goodly proper
tion of them are turned over TO persons In
authority, 10 he restored 10 their owners II
called for. The [" Found bureau of "a pal
ace cas company often affords an interest
ing study. An innumcrable variety Of
tickcted articles there displayed bears ocu-
lar testimony In the freaks of absentmind-
ed ness. There are pathetic AS well as
amusing suggestions In these lost articles,
for some of them are obviously mementos
of tender associations. A baby's tiny
worsted shoe, for instance, found in a
sleeping berth where no baby had been,
tells its own touching little story.
Each article, as soon as IL is handed TO
the custodian of the Found bureau, is
made into neat parcel and marked with
the day and hour of finding, name of the
sleeping car, number of the train and the
name of the finder Most Of these mislaid
personal effects are found under the seats
or i'm the layatories of the cars. Fully two
thirds of the women's belongings which
are picked up by sleeping car porters are
toilet articles or jewelry left In the lava
tories. 1t was only few days ago that n
porter found two valuable finger rings in
IA washbowl. They had been sucked into
the escape pipe together and fortunately
became wedgcd there SO that they were not
carried away by the outfiowing water. The
owner of the rings said, when they were
restored 10 her, that she was sure that she
had put them In her satchel' and seemed
quite indignant ut the temerity Of the por
ter in insisting that he had found them in
IA washbowl.

pair of trousers, two hair switches, one
set of false teeth silver candlestick and
wax candle one fine linen nightrobe
package of pcrfumed letters tied with pink
ribbon, an ear trumpet, one crutch and
three or four Gagged birds.

bureau. Such finds are quickly called
for. The loss of money Is usually discover
eel before the loser leaves the car, conse-
quently ii it has been mislaid on that par
ticular car il IL searched for then and
there. Passengers usually feel for their
money the first thing after awaking In the
morning, and, finding that all right, APP
parently do not tax their minds with any
thing else. Occasionally, however, men
who carry their money loosely in their
pockets lose il by pulling IL out with n
pair of gloves, a handkerchief or note
book. Not long ago the conductor of n
sleeping car which had just been emptied
of its passengers in the Grand Central sta
ton found $500 in bills lying on the plat
form just outside the door. He took il to
the office of the general superintendent,
and IL was called for within an hour

ALMOST WAR.

ever is their jereed, or short jayelin,
"play." l put play in quotation marks To
express the sarcasm Of IL, for i never saw
anything more nearly approaching war in
my life. Two friendly tribes meet in "a
suitable bit of desert, several hundred
mounted men representing each tribe, and
are drawn up facing each other. Twirling
his jereed, the champion of one side rides
into the open, and in loud voice and
with much cloquence recounts his deeds of
