Whatever may be said as to the
events OF the last ten years which
are alleged to have made us a world
power. there remains small opportun-
ity for controversy over the essen
tial features OF our conduct in the
face OF the problemns brought to face
us by theose happenings Now, be
ing self-contained and compact in
our political geography and federated
in our common interests wherever
our dominion was established, we
have become extended and increased
the span Of the arch of our structures,
and must undertake to equate the
widely different concerns of individ-
uals and communities antithetical as
to race. traditions, and modes OF life
and antipodal as to location on the
face Of the earth. Dwelling on the
unwlsdom of prematurely acquiring
colonies is fatuous, the national duty
is neither to help those colonies for
their exploitation nor to cast them of
to avoid the burden Of their responsi-
bilities, The questions involved are
no more matters to be narrowed

RAILROAD NEWS.
Canadian Pacific Road Is After
Orient Trade.
Return to the Old Schedule for
Far East Traffic.
CAN NOT BE BLUFFED.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sfOn's Order Not Feared.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.
CAN NOT BE BLUFFED.

The Canadian Pacific railroad is
making strenuous effort to capture
the lions share of the export traffic
from the states to the Orient and with
every prospect of success. This road
has hled new export and import tariff
with the interstate commerce commits
sion, which will become effective on
Dec. and which practically maintains
the old schedule of rates.
All other transcontinental lines re-
Gently filed tariffs which principally
were made up of the domestic rates to
the Pacific coast plus the ocean rates
from there to China, Japan and the
philippines. This action was taken by
the majority of the transcontinental
roads, because of q decision by the
commission that the inland proportions
of the oriental freight rates must be
shown in the tariffs. The railroads OBJ
Jected to this because thew feared the
effect upon their domestic business if
the shippers generally knew what low
inland proportional rates were being
applied to the oriental export and i'm
port traffic. They therefore practical
1y decided to go out of this traffic and
permit 1t to drift back to the Suez
canal route, from which they had taken
a large share by extremely low rates.
The Canadian Pacific officials refused;
to be frightened by the requirement to
publish their inland proportions, be-
hevfng that the domestic shippers all
knew full we'll that such rates were be-
ing made and also believing that they
could be justified upon the ground of
patriotic endeavor to build up trade
in the far east. The Canadian officials,
likewise, do not believe that the COM
mission will take any account of the
export rates when determining the rea-
sonableness of domestic rates.
The Canadian Pacific tariff discloses
the fact that the company has applied
the domestic rates to the Pacific coast
to the oriental traffic. The rate on
agricultural implements, for example,
from here to the Pacific coast is $1.35
per 100 pounds. This is also made the
cepts 81 cents as its proportion of the
through rate This means that the
railroad carries agricultural imple-
ments to the coast for domestic use for
81 .35 and for oriental use for 81 cents.
Likewise. the through and domestic
rate on beer is $1.10. while the railroad
accepts Sc cents on the export business;
the through and domestic rate on can
ned goods, including meats, is 80 cents |
and the railroad accepts "a cents on the |
export trade: the through and domestic |
rate on machinery is $1.5e, and the
railroad accepts 80 cents on the export
trade. the condensed milk rate is 50
cents of which the railroad accepts 81 |
cents: the rate on packing house pro- |
ducts is 81 65, and the railroad accepts |
90 cents for export; the rate on fertil- |
ize4 is 60 cents and the railroad ac- |
cents So cents on the export trade All
roads leading from Chicago to st. Paul |
except the Burlington and the Illinois |
Central concur in the new rates
