Cannon on the Tariff.

"The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. Wait until the new tariff law
has been tested 10y the people and then
we will know how it suits. Personally
believe that republican Congress has
kept the pledges made hy the republic
can national convention in the plat
form"
Speaker Cannon thus gave his views
of the Payne tariff law.
"Do you think the new tariff law will
be satisfactory to the countryT the
speaker was asked.
81 know of no reason why it should
not" he answered. "The new tariff law
is good law. 1t marks the beginning
of a stirring epoch of commercial pros
perty, believe. look forward to at
least ten years Of splendid business and
national growth. Under a republican
administration the United States will
take another forward stride.
"The House bill in its original form
was first disapproved-I was going to
say damned-,hy the newspapers which
attempted to display their influence
4 little later it was saint in COM
parson with the Senate bill. The con-
ference bill ! consider a fair mante
nance of the pledge which was formu
lated and announced in the Chicago
platform.
ain framing the bill the workingmen
the laboring classes and their rights
were first considered. Second, the rights
of the manufacturers and the employers
of labor and, finally, and against their
will, the rights of the importers. II
my judgment fair test of the law will
demonstrate it good law for all classes
of the nation. Let's give it trial anG
then we'll see where we stand"

AlAskA's Resources,


The present exhibition of Alaska's
resources Is the best possible refuta-
ton of the stock criticism current at
the time Of the acquisition Of Alaska
In 1867 that the new territory would
prove an endless expense without ade-
quate return. Forty years ago Alaska
was known almost solely to traders,
and these rarely penetrated to the in
terror. In 1907 the United States ship

consisting mainly Of gold, fish and
furs. These figures Of one years COM
merce are double what they We're in
1903, only four years earlier.
So far the item of gold has exceeded
In value that of all other Alaskan
products. The copper and coal depos-
its Of the territory await the constrpp-
ton of railways for their develop,
ment. Alaska also has rich deposits
of silver, tin and gypsum and extern
sive forests OF timber. Next to gold
the fishery products figure In Alaska s

ing, and the present generation may
see the extinction Of the once valuable
fur trade. But other Industries will
develop as never before when tbs
problem of government for Alaska has
been solved and capital flows In to
finance them.

George VanDyke Killed by Auto.

Geo. VanDyke, aged Ct, of Lancaster,
N. H., president of the Connecticut Val
ley Lumber Company and one of the
best known lumbermen in New Eng.
land, and his chauffeur, Frederick b.
llodgdon, aged 30, also of Lancaster were
fatally injured when the automobile
in which they were riding plunged over
IL 75-foot embankment into the Connecti-
cnt River at Riverside, Mass, Sunday.
Both died of their injuries at the Far
rem hospital in Montague City.
Mr.. VanDyke, who was known as
"The Lumber King of New England
had been in that vicinity watching the
work of running logs down the river,
which was very low.
In order to get better view of the
work, Mr.. VanDyke had his automo-
bile driven to the top of high cliff OF
rocks on the Riverside shore just oppo.
site Turner Falls. They were about to
return to camp when the chauffeur
touched the wrong lever and the ma.
chine started forward instead of back
plnnging directly over the bank to the
rocks below
|" Mr.. VanDyke owned the Moose Riv.
err Lumber company in Lowelltown, Me.
and was president of the Bromplou
Paper Company of Brompton, Que.
The funeral was held at Lancaster
Wednesday.
A more extended sketch of the de-
ceased will be given next week.

One of the novel and important fea-
lures of the tariff bill is the establish
ment of a new court of customs ap-
peaIs. As it is now, appeals from de-
cisions of the board of general apprais-
ers go to the United States circuit
court. 1t is proposed to take this labonr
from the circuit courts and impose it
upon a special court to sit on customs
cases alone, and to exercise exclusive
appellate jurisdiction in that field. The
court is to consist of five judges-one
presiding Judge and four associates
appointed in the usual manner. The
salary fixed for the judges is $4,000,
together with necessary travelling ex'
penses when the court sits elsewhere
than in Washington for at discretion
it may hold sessions in any OF the judi
cial districts 1t is to have clerical
staff consisting of clerk with a salary
of $1,000, an assistant clerk at *25O0
five stenographic clerks at $2400, a
Stenographic reporter at $2500, and a
messenger at 5000. Also marshal in
the District of Columbia at $4,000 This
makes S72 800 year, to which is to be
added $685. for contingent expenses
or total of Sl0S,900. Furthermore
there is provided number of new at
torneys in the department of justice Oh
account of the new court, to-wit, ar
assistant encouragement at 10000 &
Year, one deputy assistant attorney gen
eral at $500, four attorneys at $4,000
each, and for other employees $l3,750
in all, $5l $50; and for contingent ex,
penses $6S75. This makes a total ad
ditional expense on account of the de
partment of Justice $58,l25, and tn
grand total of annual cost of the new
court $l67 ops. 1t is a good deal o
money, and it will make lot of goot
offices for somebody, but if as claimed
the court will pay for itself and more il
the collection of revenues, which tn,
government might otherwise stand t.
lose, the policy is wholly jnstifiable
There was opposition in the Senate t.
the $4,000 salary for the judges, Of
the ground that Oh the salary basis the
would outrank the judges of the circui
court. The opponents wanted to fix tn
salary at $1,000, which is the same a
that of the circuit judges, and the Sci
ate so voted, but the conference settle
upon the higher salary. The new tart
bill is printed elsewhere in this issue.
