THE "sTEAL" DUTY

There has not been a year since 1880
when steel rails could not be made as
cheaply in this country as in England,
yet the American duty on rails in that
time has ranged from $7.S4 to $2S a
ton. The export price has held for
years at $40 a ton. The domestic
price is S2S a ton. which is just Is
cents more than $40 plus the duty. Yet
the standpatters try to make the peo-
pie believe that the duty is not added
to the price.-Los Angeles News.

AUSTRALIA BARS JAPANEsE.

Australia has a law which most eff
fectually bars Japanese from that
country The statute in question pro-
hibits the entrance of any colored peo-
pies, and the Japanese are inelu--
in that classification. year or so ago
a Japanese warship or two visited Aus
tralian ports, and while the officers
and crews were permitted to land, it
was with the distinct understanding
that they were not to remain. A ship
captain who touches at an Australian

bonds are forfeited and the runaways

RocKEFELLER's EXAMPLE BAD.

Mr.. Rockefeller's statements on the
witness stand were a fitting climax to
the undignif1ed and unworthy attitude
which he assumed while seeking to
evade the process servers of the
United States district court. He testi-
fed to such hazy ideas of the business
of the great corporation of which he
is president that his answers to ques-
tions left only the alternative of be-
lieving his replies insincere or his Of
fetal position a sham. In either case
the example set for the business world
is bad.--Cleveland Leader.
