Contract Work on the Canal.
Only four bids were put in for the
Job Of constructing the Panama canal
for Uncle Sam. Evidently this was
one Of the cases where "a government
contract didn't look "fat" to enterpris-
ing capitalists. The contract is for
actual excavation and construction
and leaves no room for anything in the
shape Of profit or 'rake-ofr' in the
matter of supplies.
Substantially the governments pro
posal was that the contractors contine
themselves exclusively to the actual
construction work. Estimates OF the
total cost will be fixed and Of the time
necessary for the work. The con-
tractors get their fixed percentage Of
profit, but II they build the canal for
less than the estimated cost or In
shorter time they get bonus, while
If they increase the cost or take a
longer time they are penalized. They
therefore assume considerable risks
and have every stimulus to efficiency.
This is not, as has been thought by
some, novel form Of bidding. 1t has
been followed in the contracts for sew
eral large buildings and other works
aud Is becoming generally adopted for
large undertakings. With government
direction absolutely secured over all
debatable points, yet leaving the con-
tractors free to complete their contract
without the official circumlocutlon that
has hampered operations heretofore,
real progress may be expected. II the
dirt flies fast enough the government
will not be inclined to let the con
tractors work at loss.

Dual TariRs.

A strong demand by certain foreign
countries for favoritlsm in the matter
of trade may lead to the adoption by
this country Of dual tariffs. BY this
means we may be enabled to deal on
an even footing with nations having
large export and import trade with
America. Secretary Root believes that
"the United States must come to a
maximum and minimum tariff"
Canada proposes to maintain rigid
tarif against countries which are
commercial enemies and to have low
or tariff for foreign countries making
concessions to her, with a still lower
one for England. A dual tariff for the
United States would mean the Canada
plan, with England left Out-that is,
the maximum tariff would be maintain
cd against commercial enemies and the
minimum tariff adopted toward ma,
lions we wished to favor because they
are excellent customers and treat our
commerce fairly. The plan has its alb
Burdities. yet insures certainty OF
revenue while encouraging foreign
commerce.
