Result in Friction


Result in Friction
Not only are such devices dubious
and sometimes even clearly bad, but
standing, suspicion, recrimination and
international friction. They arouse irri-
tation most Of all when they are con-
cealed or supposed to be concealed.
1t is not difficult to adduce cases in
which there has been concealed or fur
tive resort to one or another Of these
devices. Ono instance has already
been referred to, the export bounties
on beet sugar from continental Europe.
These had their origin in q drawback
payment, which was supposed to be
merely the equivalent Of an internal
or excise tax, but which in fact devel-
oped into drawback because in exec IS
Of the excise"actually collected.
A similar case has more recently
been the occasion of ruling by our
Treasury Department. Certain draw
on the export of grain and flour. based
not upon the expectation of the identi-
cal materials on which the taxes had
been paid Gin this case import duties)
but upon the expectation of equivalent
amounts irrespective Of identity. Our
Treasury Department felt compelled to
rule that virtual bounty upon export
had been paid-not necessarily with
deliberate intention, but with substan-
TALLY the outcome of bounty pay
ment
Cases of this kind are precisely of
the sort to arouse suspicion of an in
tent to circumvent competitor which
does not appear upon the face of the
proceeding. The same is true of pref
erential transportation rates. They
may rest on a really sound railway
rollcy; nevertheless, when granted to
export traffic the suspicion ALWAYS
arises that they rest not honestly upon
a sound basis, but upon something diff
ferent and dubious. They are believed
to evince an endeavor to outwit and
circumvcnt, BY hook or by crook, the
foreign competitor.
The mode in which international
arrangements for favors in the way
of import duties are brought about
may also be the cause of irritation on
the part of rival countries. An ar
rangement is now in force between the
United States and Brazil by which
some American commodities are ad-
mitted into Brazil on the payment OF
duties lower than those applicable to
commodities from other countries
This arrangement rests upon no treaty
Or commercial agreement. So far as
appears upon the official record, Brazil
out Of spontaneous friendliness for the
United States, voluntarily grants us
the discriminating duties.

Cereals

Wheat.-The movement of new crop
wheat is being quite seriously delayed,
largely on account of the disposition
on the part of farmers to await action
in Washington over the question of
raising the price. Receipts at South
western points, however, were larger,
and total receipts at interior points
last week were about 100000 bushels
in excess of those of the previous week.
Millers are anxious buyers of wheat at
interior points, but in most cases they
have to pay premiums over the gov
ernment minimum price in order to
secure supplies. Further sales were
made in New York on Saturday of No.
2 red winter wheat at $2.38, c. i. f., do
mestic basis. The weather at the close
of the week was very favorable for har-
vestlng operations, and a few showers
were reported in portions of the North
west where moisture is now said to be
needed. The government report will
be published on Tuesday, and is ex-
pected to show moderate losses from
the June report.
Corn.-The corn market showed a
very steady undertone throughout the
greater part of the day. This was at
tributed largely to firmness in the cash
position, which was reflected in an ad-
vance of l 4c for July. The demand
for good milling corn for domestic .pur-
poses is fairly active, and recently Can
ada has come into the market for good
corn in order to supply corn products
to be used as -four substitute. Re-
ceipts at primary points fell off last
week, but on the whole the movement
was not as small as some had expected.
The weather on Saturday was favorable
tor the new crop, but at the present
time. prices are not being influenced
particularly by the new crop outlook.

are the most dubious Of all these de-
vices. Special transportation rates and
special export prices, though they raise
intricate questions and are not so
clearly out Of accord with sound policy,
nevertheless have presumption
against them. In all four cases we
should at the least pause and inquire
with fair and open mind whether
these several methods of action really
conduce to the prosperity of the United
States or the prosperity of nations.

 fears 15-'r
 To us are sbut a distant dream: Perils and pains and tols and tears
 To menace. us. no longer seem; X little nearer heaven is When we are picking blackberries. sunbonnets giimmer through the And children's voices from afar Call loiterers to come and glean
 Where glistening, luscious punches
 are:
 For every heart full lightsome is When we are picking blackberries. These treasures of the sun and wind
 Great Pan in festal grace arrays As offerings to the simple mind
 That loves his wild wood haunts and
 ways;
 For sane and wholesome joys are his Who goes a-pickins biackberries. So seek the beauties, black and lush,
 Where golden rod and jepye weed Grow tall and tough by every bush,
 And pease Of heart sha1f be your need: J5.e \ little nearer heaven is To those a-picking blackberries. Henry N, Williams in the St. Louis Post -DiSpatc
