THE NEW TARIFF IN A NUTSHELL

Summing up the changes made in the
tariff Ps shown in the various Senate
documents, the new act has increased
the Dingley rates in 800 instances,
while reducing them in 5s4 cases. The
increases affect commodities imported
in 1907 to the value of at least $l06. .S44,- :
POI, while the reductions affect not
more than $lS2, l4l. .074 worth of imports.
Four hundred and forty-seven million
dollars worth of imports ION the basis
of 1907 remain subject to the same
duties as under the Dingley tariff. That
is to say, 65 per cent of the total i'm
ports remain subject to the old rates,
more than Is per cent of the total will
be subject to higher duties, the aver
age increase amounting to 81 per cent
over the Dingley rates; and less than
20 per cent of the imports are to be
subject to lower duties, the reduction
being estimated about % per cent be-
low the Dingley rates. All Of these fig-
ures greatly underestimate the in
creases of duty for the following rea-
sons: First. they do not take into ae-
count the numerous changes lnearly
aiI increases of duty due to changes
in classification, similar to the in
stances cited in the case of sawn wood,
structural iron and cotton cloth; sec
ond. large part of the imports sub
ject to ad-valorem duties will now be
assessed on the basis of domestic prices
instead Of the prices in foreign mar
kets(with due allowance for freight and
duty), as has hitherto been the case;
and finally, the possibility, even if re-
mote. of the application of maximum
rates to imports from some of the for
eign countries, which will amount on
the average to an increase of more
than 80 per cent over the new rates
The real increase of duty will not be
accurately known for year, until We
have fpll retnrps of the imports and
dpties actually levied under the new
law under the decisions of tbs
board Of General Appraisers and the
new Customs Court. From 'Tht

SUBLIME FAITH.

The little nine-year-old daughter of
Captain Patton, of the schooner Kineo.
that arrived at Norfolk after perilous
voyage. furnished a beautiful instance
of sublime faith. 4 local report says:
Her courage was an Inspiration to
the crew during the entire voyage.
When the schooner's doom seemed in
evitable they plucked UP courage as
they reminded one another of little
"Nellie May and her injunction. "Boys,
father will bring Us all through safely. "
The sublime faith of the child in her
father is TO doubt an exact and COM
plete illustration Of what three of the
writer's Of the Gospel record as the Di-
vine declaration, that only those who
became as little children would enter
His kingdom.
1t is hard amid the buffetting of the
storms of life when the waves of sor-
row and disappointment sweep over
them. and the roar of the tumult is in
their ears, for men and women to look
out over the restless days and years
and repeat in that higher sense the
words of this little child.
Whittier sang:
Il know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air,
! ! only know ] cannot drift
Beyond His love and care

OREGON SOLONS

REASON FOR TRYING TO
QUIET AGITATION.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SALEM, Ore, Feb. 9.-Taking
the position that Senator Bailey's
anti-Japanese resolution is mop
perfume at this time because of
the agitation In California that
has brought both state and federal
officials into notoriety, the Oregon
state senate this morning killed
the measure by a vote of % to 5.
The resolution memorialized
congress to re-enact the Chinese
exclusion act and enlarge 1t so as
to include all Asiatics.
Senator's Bingham and Sinnott
spoke against the measure stating
that as the president is using his
utmost efforts to quiet the agita-
ton now aroused In California,
that there must be some good rea-
son for postponing this action at
this time, and therefore the reso-
luton should not be considered
now.

there is little likelihood Of better
feeling.
Cullom recently introduced a
resolution declaring February 10
national holiday in honor of
Lincoln's birth. No one objected
to the resolution and it bore all
the marks of triumphal passage.
Along came Knox, however,
with a little amendment which the
Pennsylvania tackled on with the
hope that it would carry with the
popular message. The amend
ment provides for a survey of a
boulevard to Gettysburg to be
called Lincoln way.
Several members of the. senate
have strong objections to the pro-
visions of the amendment. Un-
less Knox withdraws the amend
ment the original resolution will
be killed and Knox refuses to
withdraw.

PLANNING BULkhEAD
FOR CLIFF AVENUE

Commissioner McGregor has
the engineering department busy
trying to figure out a plan for
bulkheading Cliff avenue to pre-
vent the bluff from falling down
onto Pacific avenue. Preliminary
estimates indicate that a wall for
about $4,000 would remedy mat
tiers materially but to do a real
good job and fix the whole thing
as 1t should be will probably cost
several times this.
Some day the whole bluff will
probably be bulwarked and park
ed and laid out in paths and walks
forming an attractive view for
newcomers entering the city by
boat.
