FOUND A WAY.

The understanding reached between the Canadian government and the White Pass X Yukon Railway Company, on a tariff shoe, for the company, marks an era in the history of the country. Never before in the history of the country has freight been delivered in the Interior at the low rate that will prevail under the new tariff. Regardless that the rate Is undoubtedly sufficient tO pay the company magnihelent dividends. the guardians of the public veal have accomplished what has been deemed impossible, from the fact that a portion of the W. p. X Y. mileage extended through territory ot the United States. The clause ln the eoppltt which enables the Ottawa government 10 lower rates over Clnadlln mileage in proportion to the ratio that may be raised on the American stretch, gives the Clnadian government complete control of the situation.

OIL AND COAL TRUSTS.
DIngIey BiIl JuggIed in the senate in
the Interests of standard Oil and
Anthracite Combi1cs.

II las been the general LClief of most
writers and speakers that neither the
Standard Oil nor the anthracite coal
trusts were protected by tariff duties
on petroleum and anthracite coal
President Roosevelt reflected the popu-
lar error on this subject when he said,
in his speech at Cincinnati on Septem-
Der 20. in speaking Of the proposal to
take the duty off articles which are
made by trusts:
Furthermore the products Of many
trusts are unprotected. ard wou.G be en-
TREY unaffected by any change in the
tariff. or at most very slightly 80. The
Standard Oil Company offers case in
point; and the corporations which control
the anthracite coal output offer another
for there Is no duty whatever OF anthracite
coal"
Those are strong assertions. even If
the Dingley tariff act is what it. on its
face. appears to be.
Clearly the anthracite coal trust Is
protected by the duty Of q cents per
