Commercial Mnr Clouds.

A tariff war with Canada would be
the more unfortunate because it must
be started with no prospects of peace
in sight Once begun it could be pre-
longer for years Few points would be
gained by either side and many would
be lost by both.
The American commissioners in pre-
senting their statements at Ottawa,
showed that the average ad valorem
rate on dutiable and free imports from
Canada amounted to only 11.2 per cent
in 1909 and on dutiable imports 1914,
while the Canadian average ad valor-
em rate on free and dutiable goods from
the United States was 12.5 per cent
and on dutiable imports 24.9 per cent.
The constitution of the United States
forbids the exaction of export taxes.
Canada. in collecting such a duty on
wood pulp, takes an advantage which
can only be countered by application
of the maximum rates of the Payne
law
Yet it is to be hoped that the max
imum charges will not be placed upon
Canadian goods even if the provoca-
ton be extreme. The neighborliness
OF the countries should count above
the commercial considerations now in
conflict. The bon hommie of the citi-
.ens of the two nations has a value
that no differences as to trade rela-
lions should be permitted to destroy

English Lecturer Tells why EN-
pIoyers Like Them Best.
Political power is the only pathway
to economic independence" said Miss
Ethel Arnold, of England. in lecture
at New York City a few days ago. The
lecturer told of a visit she paid to a
big manufacturing town at the hour
when the employees were dismissed and
of how much better impression the 700
women, clear of eye and skin, trim of
figure and Independent in bearing,
made than the men employees The
head of the factory, commenting on
this, told her that the employers pre-
ferred them because they didn't drink,
gamble or have the unsteady habits of
men.
In speaking about the low rate of
wages paid TO women, the lecturer said
that If they demanded more they
would be ousted by the men as re-
suit. 1t was better a thousand times
that women should be ousted by the
men, she declared, than that they
should lower the standard of wages
for honest work. The average Of men S
wages in the United Kingdom was
rather more than double that OF the
women, she said, and she continued,
"less than half is not a just nor fair
proportion under any system"
The speaker was loudly applauded
when she said: eff you exclude the
married women from the factory ther
you must assure her a definite legal
share in the wages of her husband as
the keeper OF his house and the moth
er of his children"

patriotism and desire for gold, had
