Canada's new tariff is tariff within
a tariff to some extent. There is gen
eral tariff and a preferential tariff. The
first applies to all imports, subject TO
the notifications in the second, which is
made schedule D" of the general meas
ure. There are some increases, for
revenue purposes. but the general char
acter is a reduction of duties, changes
from specific to ad valorem rates par
ticularly on article, of common use,
and additions 10 the free list. Many
items Of the former tariff are left I'M
touched for the present, and this is par
ticularly the case with articles imported
from the United States, the increased
rates of the Dingley bill on Canadian
products being given as an explanation
The preferential tariff reduces the du-
ties. except on intoxicants and tobacco,
one-eighth at once and one-quarter IN
a year on goods imported from Great
Britain. and from any other country
willing TO put itself on the same terms
as Great Britain and regarded by the
government as coming on the whole
within the terms of the provision re-
ing reciprocity.
The interest of this part of the United
States is more especially concerned with
the coal duties No changes are made,
bur in the colloquy between the finance
minister and the leader of the opposi-
ton on this subject the position of the
Canadian government was explained.
Minister Fielding said it was not pro-
posed at this stage of the tariff to make
anv reduction in the duty on coal, but
added that he had reason 10 believe
that American public men were at this
moment reconsidering their duty on
coal. and he had a strong hope, amount
ing 10 expectation, that in the end they
would reduce the duty proposed in the
Dinglev bill 10 80 cents per ton, the
duty in the present tariff. It was the
desire of the present government to re-
duce the duty on coal if the Americans
left the duty at 10 cents. The Canadian
government was prepared to meet them
on that line. and Minister Fielding said
il would be his duty to move that the
duty in Canada be also made 40 cents
per TON. Having made the statement he
thought they should defer action until
they saw what the United States was
going TO do about it, In answer TO a
direct question from the opposition
leader. Minister Fielding said that if
the Dingley bill duty of 75 cents should
be enacted. it is the purpose of the Can
adam government not only to retain the
present Canadian duty of so cents, but
also to impose a duty on anthracite coal,
which has hitherto been on the free
list.
In the class of goods which appear in
the tariff under the heading of Ami
mails and Agricultural and Animal
Products" and which are largely i'm
ported from the United States, the gov
eminent concluded that. pending nego-
tiations with this country, il is ad-
visable to leave them very largely IN
changed. There are, however, some ex-

In many cities Just now the relations

THE FATHER oF CENrENNIALS."

THE FATHER OF CENTENNIALS."
A remarkable character and one OF
peculiar interest passed away in the
death of Col. Jesse E. Peyton, at Had
donfeld. n. J., on Monday. Colonel
Peyton was a native Kentuckian, and in
his sd year. In 1912 he embarked in
the Wholesale dry goods business in
Philadelphia, and when Clay became
financially embarrassed. he raised sutii-
cient funds to liQuidate the Wing lead
er's debt. Colonel Peyton first came
prominently before the people in 1860
by his efforts in behalf of the Union,
and at President Lincoln's suggestion,
he visited Kentucky to induce that State
TO hold her place in the Union. Later
he fitted out Young's Kentucky cavalry
and the Eleventh regiment of Pennsyl-
vania, paying the expenses out of his
private purse.
IL was principally due TO the efforts
of Colonel Peyton that the centennial
exposition was held in Philadelphia in
1876. He advocated this as early as
1855. He also suggested the centen-
NAL anniversary of Bunker Hill and
the Yorktown. Va, celebration. For
several years Colonel Pey;on had been
at the head of movement for a re-
union of the human family in Jeru-
salem in 1900, and this project, which
will celebrate the birth of Christ, would
have been the crowning effort OF the
promoters life.

MIR. Stevens Is Willing to Drop the
silver Question for 81 Time.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 1.-THE Hon. Isaac
N. Stevens, who was in reality the chair
man of the National Silver party executive
committee in the last campaign, was in
Chicago to-day on his way home from the
East, where he had been looking into the
prospects for the international gold con-
vention to be held in Denver July Z. 1T
is a mistake he said to a reporter, ito
think that Colorado is wholly devoted to
silver. While there is a large silver inter
est in the State, it is small compared with
the gold interest. Colorado is producing
more gold than silver for months, and no
State in the Union could better stand a
gold standard. The disposition of our peo-
pie is to stop all agitation of the silver
question and 10 give the present administra-
ton the fullest possible opportunity to re-
store prosperity on it's own lines. If it
fails there will be no need of further agita-
ton, as the people are already sufficiently
educated; and If it succeed in restoring
prosperity Colorado will applaud it as
strongly as any State in the Union. Our
State is in better financial condition to-day
than it ever has been. The object of the
gold producers convention is to demon
strate to the world the boundless re-
sources of the Rocky mountain region out
side of silver mining, and 1t promises to be
a great success"

Complete Overthrow of the Conserva-

MONTREAL. May 1.-THE Quebec pro-
yincial elections took place to-day and re-
suited in the complete overthrow OF the
Conservative party. In the last Legislature
the parties stood: Conservatives. SO; Lib
erals, %. These figures have been reversed
as a result of to-day's election, the Lib
erals having elected 80 members, with a
probability of SO, and the Conservative
about %. Among the prominent Conserve
tives defeated are G. A. Nantel, commits
sioner of public works, and Louis Beau
bien. commissioner of agriculture. The is
sues of the campaign We're for the most
part local. The Liberals fought hard for
power, telling the voters that a victory for
their party in Quebec would strengthen the
hands of the French Canadian premier,
Wilfred Laurier. Clerical influence played
only n small part i'm the election, although
a number of the Liberals elected openly
pledged themselves to secure free public
schools to be controlled by the people alone,
and in this way antagonized the clergy In
several parts of the province. Both parties
were pledged TO an extension OF the publlc
school system in the province. and the eE-
Denditure Of n much larger sum OF money
for this purpose than has heretofore been
expended. The victory of the Liberals In
this province to-day puts that party IN
control of the provincial legislatures of all
the great provinces of the Dominion. as
we'll as the Dominion government itself.

MADISON, Wis, May 11.-Hon 2. L..
Spooner, president of the Standard Tele-
phone Company, one of the largest indie
pendent telephone companies in the coun-
try, was interviewed to-day on the decision
of the United States Supreme Court in the
Berliner telephone patent case. Mr.. Spoon
er said: MY Information is that the de-
cision simply aequits the Bell Company and
the Patent Office of fraud and collision in
the issuance of the Berliner patent. The
merits of the patent are not involved. Ad-
vices from independent exchanges all over
the country show them anxious TO try con
clusions with the Bell Company. Similar
patents nave expired in foreign countries,
and, following the decisions of the United
Berliner patent will finally be declared
void. There is no cause for alarm to the
users of independent telephones
