DIsGRUNTLED PANAMANs.

The Panamans doubtless had visions
of ease. luxury and no taxes when
they saw the United States ready and
willing to set them up as an indie
pendent government. pay them $lOO0O.-
900 in gold and guarantee their con-
tinued independence. They were in
clined to look on Uncle Sam as a kind
of fairy godfather, who would de-
light to stand guard over them with
one hand and feed them candy with
the other. Therefore, the star
Spaneled Banner" became a popular
tune on the isthmus, and the Stars and
Stripes were greeted with huzzas wher-
ever unfurled.
But the situation has undergone a
change, and the Panamans are puz-
zled and disconnected. Uncle Sam has
set up custom houses within the canal
zone and is collecting customs dues
on importations. The treaty. between
the United states and Panama gives
this country the right of government
in the canal zone. and it is going about
exercising that right. incidental to
WHICH Is Tue importation VI al NANACo
Of commerce at points to be decided by
itself. Heretofore all goods imported
into Panama have been assessed a
straight duty of 1914 per cent, ad va
loren. Under the operation of the
American tariff the duties are much
higher and II is expected that prices
OF articles which have heretofore been
regarded as necessaries of life will
become so high that within a short
time the articles will be looked on as
Injuries. The Panamans were not ex-
pecting that sort of thing. They
thought their customs and their prices
would be virtually unmolested. Now
that they are learning differently they
are disposed to charge bad faith on
the part of the United States. Indeed,
some of their leaders are charging that
they were tricked in the canal deal
and the treaty; that the canal treaty
is so artfully drawn that it can be
interpreted in almost any way that
the United States government sees

But what else could the Panamans
have expected? In the negotiations
they were represented, not by one of
themselves. but by a shrewd French
promoter. He had nothing to lose.
and great deal TO make, by carrying
the deal through successfully. And
the modern diplomacy which obtains
at Washington is not based in aItrusm.
1t looks to the main chance. Panama
left her interests to her French repre-
sentative. II she got the worst of the
bargain. 1t was because of her own
haste and eagerness.

Not great deal is heard these days
about the automobile freight wagon.
Maybe it is because the manufactur-
