A SERIOUS JOKER

it was supposed that the duty oh rough lumber had been reduced from $2 a thousand feet to $1.25. But our friends, the lumber people, are hoping that this is a mistake, and that it will be found that the actual effect of the new law will be to raise the $2 rate to $5.93 on lumber valued at the average of $18.74. or, $6.25 on lumber valued at $20.00. in an editorial printed in the American Lumberman; of which J. E. Defebaugh is the editor,-this theory of the working of the law is set forthDefebaugh, whose is a leading lumber journal, was, we believe, at Washington while the tariff bill was under consideration, and his opinion must be allowed to have some weight. The question is as to the effect of the maximum and minimum provision. The maximilm rates are to be kept in force against any nation or dependency that discriminates against us. DoeS Canada, from which much of our imported lum? her comes, discriminate against us? It seems to us that it is safd to say that no one yet knows what the lumber duty is to be. whether $6.00 or $1.25, and that the lumbermen have great hopes—which are far from being baseless—that the higher rate will prevail. However this may be, there can be no doubt that after March next the rate will jump at once to between $5.00 and $6.00, where it will stay till the president sees fit to lower it. All this, of course, has to do with Canadian lumber.-—lndianpolis News.
