Will not help the railroads to com
pete on much shipping, and that on
the other hand its absence will not
lower single price to the ultimate
consumer. They contend that the ship
ping companies will simply pocket the

reach the ultimate consumer or the
Golfers of the canal.
All Of these facts are cited to show
| that the attitude that most men have
| taken in congress with reference to
our controversy with Great Britain has S
been influenced largely by our own
domestic situations When one comes
to examine the several arguments pro-
! duced by both sides he will, if he is
in the position of the proverbial man
up tree. readily admit that there is
good argument on both sides. For in
stance 1t is asserted by Senator Root
| that If we have our coastWise traffic
| England also has hers, and that to
exempt our coastWise shipping from
'olls and not to exempt that of Eng
'ahd ana other countries is violation
OF the treaty He reminds the coun-
Try that we once had the shoe on the
other foot, and that then we protested
SO vehemenuy that Canada receded
from its position. Under the treaty OF
lS1, which gave to the shipOWners
OF Canada and the United States equal
treatment in the canals of the two
countries, Canada, which had fixed a
t"ll OF ~ cents a ton on freight re-
mltted Is cents a ton on all freight
dcStlhed to Montreal and beyond, thus
ieaVlng but two cents a ton on Cana
dlan coastWise shipping, while charg-
ing the full 20 cents on American
shipping. President Cleveland figura-
lively jumped on Canada with both
'ect' saying in a message to congress
that for Canada to promise equality
and then in practice make it cond-
tlonal upon our vessels doing a Cana
dlan business instead of their own, is
10 1ullfll Il promise with a shadow
OF performance.
Those who combat this view cite the
Bartlett article in the English Law
Magazine and Review of London. This
eminent writer asserts that vessels

peeh placed on an equality with those
engaged IN commerce with foreign ma
tons, nor could they be without vio-
latlng national laws or the inherent
right of a nation to control it's do
fheStic ShlpplnS. He says that the
practice OF restricting domestic com>
merce to American vessels owned and
operated by American citizens is in
harmony with the policy of every sea-
pound nation. He recalls 81 treaties
made between the United States and
other countries providing for this re-
strlction. He adds that despite all
pretense of uniformity, muta!ity and
equality of treatment, foreign vessels
are charged heavier port duties in Eng
lsh ports than coasting trade vessels,
ana this in spite of the most formal
treaty stipuations to the contrary.
While the existing treaty of 1915 pro-
Nldes that no higher or other duties

Panama Canal Tolls
V-The Dienute in Conoreeo
The Dispute in Congress.
BY Frederic J. Haskin

The dispute that has been going on
question of constituting the Hay
body into two general CampS-thOse
| who think that the neutrality Of the
| canal as relates to tolls includes the
United state, on the one hand, and
those who think that it excludes us,
on the other. There are many who
feel that it applies to the United States
| on general shipping, but does not ap-
ply to us on COastWiSe traffic. The
line of cleavage is, in a general way,
between those who believ in ship
subsidies and those who do not, al
though, of course, there are exceptions
| to this statement.
But. as a rule, those who oppose ship
subsidies are to be found among those
who oppose the remission of tolls to
American coastwise ships on the
ground that it ContraveneS the treaty.
On the other hand, those who are for
subsidies are, for the most part, In
favor of the remission of tolls to
American coastwise ships, and argue
that such an act does not constitute a
violation of the Hay PauncefOte treaty.
There are those, however, who favor
subsidies in our foreign going shipping
and none on our coastWisc shipping.
In the language of Senator Root they
regard the coastWise shipping as the
most highly protected special industry
in the United States with no further
need of protection, while on the other
hand our foreign going vessels have
to compete with the low standards of
wages and living to be found abroad,
and therefore is in need of protection
the home going ships do not need.
Party lines are nc. .niin"ct, in this
division. The democratic committee
| that drafted the original tolls bill re-
fused to exempt coastWise traffic and
that provision in the form Of the
| Doremus amendment was voted on in
the house and agreed to by the senate,
! the vote in both houses being nom
! partisan but largely republican. on
| the very day President Taft signed the
| Dill, Representative Sims of Tennessee,
democrat, introduced a bill to repeal
the coaStWise exemption. and the same
hlll was later introduced in the senate
by Senator Root of New York, a re-
publican. Senator O'Gorman of New
York, a democrat, is the principal de-
lender of the present law in the upper
house and Representative Mann, the
republican leader is one of its chief
champions in the house.
There is another angle to the con-
troVersy that has led some men to
vote in favor of free tolls to Ameri-
! can coastwise ships the while they
nave been opposed to subsidies. That
relates to the effect of tolls on trans
continental freight rates They believe
that the addition of tolls means lust
that much more leeway the railroads
Will have in competing with the
coast-to to-coast shipping. They believe
that when a toll of $1.2O a net register
ton Is levied 1t will give the railroads
the opportunity to raise their rates by
just that much. This idea. on the
other hand, is repudiated by other
men in congress. They insist that s1.2O
a net register ton means an average
of about SO cents ton on actual

tutional was for the good of the peo-
pie, nor did he think the bill should
pass.
Speaker Frame, speaking from the
hoor Of the house, prefaced his re-
marks with the statement that he was
personally opposed to the judicial re-
call and thought this bill had some
bearing on the matter and that he be-
lieved the bill contained some ele.
ments of merit and thought that the
bill should be given very careful con.
sideration by the members. Streeter,
of Emmons, thought the proposition
was good one, and that the time had
come when there should be a curb put
on the power of the supreme court
Devit of Richland, who is chairman
of the judiciary committee, made the
10 gest talk on the matter and was
strongly opposed to the committee of
the whole reporting on the bill favor
ably. He stated that the bill at best
was an imperative measure and poor
drawn. He became rather personal
in his remarks regarding the party
who had presented the bill and said
that while he did not desire to insin-
was doing anything but what he
thought was right that he believed
that he had been poorly informed as
to the result that would follow the
passage and signing of the bill. He
also made the remark that he did not
want the house to get the idea that
bills were being killed in the judici.
airy committee "for the purpose of see
ing blood splash" but that they care
fully considered every phase of the
matter and must watch all legislation
and see that every measure fitted in
with the others and all worked out for
the good OF the state.
He stated that a good many propos.
ed amendments to the constitution
were offered the assembly without
proper thought having been given by
the authors. He made the statement
that two bills have been brought be-
for the committee containing provis-
ions exactly the same as contained
in laws passed at the last session.

Having a little business in one OF
the federal offices Of the city, after II
was finished fell in conversation with
the official in charge concerning Pc
yuna. I mention his business to show
that the conversation was conducted
with man Of more than ordinary in
telligence, being employee of the gov
eminent who had passed through sew
Gral civil service examinations. He
uaid to me, not knowing who was:
II think great deal Of this patent
medicine business ought to be stopped.
Especially such remedies as Peruna.
)Peruna, as you know, is a stimulant
and contains eighteen or twenty per
eent. Of alcohol. People take it without
knowing what 1t is, and such remedies
ought to be prohibited by law. My
own mother took Peruna once. She had
n cough, night sweats, was growing
annotated and weak. Several doctors
examined her. The opinion was ex-
pressed several times that she was
going into consumption. One thought
It was chronic bronchitis. At any rate,
her condition was quite serious. She was
unable to get any relief from the doo-
tors she consulted, although she took
their medicines faithfully for nearly a
year. Some one told her about Peruna,
and against my wish and against the
wishes of our family, she began taking
it. At once she improved, and in less
than six months she apparently was
we'll. We did all we could to discour-
age her in taking Peruna, but she per-
sisted It finally came out in the mag
azines that Peruna contained alcohol

our teasing her, but Is very STUBBORN
She says that II she were to be sick In
the same way again she would GER
tainly get Peruna and take 1t, alcohol
or no alcohol. So you see If people will
persist In such foolishness there ought
to be q law to prevent them"
I ventured to interpose q question
"You say the doctors could not cure
her, and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does it make to
you whether it was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?''
"Well, I don't know that 1t makes any
difference, but it is deceiving the people
to give them alcohol even though II
does cure Them" he said.
I replied. "Why, I cannot ex-
actly understand that. Alcohol
is a drug, the same as qui-
nine or morphin. II alcohol cures
certain diseases where is the deception
I understand that the Peruna people
print on the label Of each bottle the
per cent. Of alcohol contained in Peru
na Each patient may read 1t, II he
pleases. I cannot see where there Is
any deception"
"Well, I would not take Peruna,'
he persisted. "Now, was sick, had a

after each meal. It grew worse and

suited several doctors in our city about

specialist in New York City, paid out q
great deal Of money, but no help. One
time was having a bad spell on the

the next seat was q retired physician
with whom had been acquainted. He
said to me. MY friend, II you want to

glass Of lager beer before each meal.
think that will cure you. Having fol-
lowed the directions Of several good
physicians without any assistance,
thought I would try the beer. In a
very short time found it was helping
me, and got entirely well. My bowels
became regular and I had no more
pain. No more distress after meals.
Now, II my mother had used some
remedy like that 1t would be all right.
But to persist in using some secret
remedy like Peruna, think It II out
rageous."
Again ventured to ask some ques-
TONS asked: what do you sup
pose It was in the lager beer that ef-
fected the cure?"
'Why, presume it was tho stimulant
it contained. Yes, no doubt it was the
stimulant."
You know, Of course, that the slim
ulant In beer Is alcohol, the same as In
wine or whiskey or any other alco-
holic drink"
Eyes, have heard say that beer con-
tains about five per cent. Of alcohol.
"That is correct" replied. "You

did you?"
yes"
