A Dl'TY WORTH WHILE
The Germans developed a great
business in making dyes from coal
tar products, They did it so well
that they captured a larse Par1
of the world's trade. Our clolt
makers are still seeking a satisfac
tory substitute for the Germar
article. Making coal-tar dyes is ai
elaborate process, requiring s
good deal of capital, high tech
nlcai skill, a thorough organIza
tlon. According to what seems th
most trustworthy testimony, if
dyestuffs business were started her
and exposed in its infancy to Gei
mau competition, its chances of »u

ried it from this country to Germai
when the modern industrial devejo]
ment there was beginning.
List's doctrine was that the pro
tectlre duty in such cu.ses shouli
be moderate and temporary; mod
erate—say not over twenty-five pe
cent—because if the ' indusry re
quired great protection i' was prOl>
ably io weak inherentlj that ii
could i-ever attain an indepeaden
footing, and if ii. cou!d never at
tain au independent footing,
it should never Jtie started;
temporary—say twenty to thirty
years—for the same reason, for
if the domestic industry was always
to be a' so great a disadvantage as
compared with the foreign industry
that it could survive only by contin
uous oOvernment support, it would
be more economical to buy the for
eign article and devote domestic
capital and labor to some field
where 't was not at so great a dis
advuitage.
On that basis a protective duty
to start a new industry is worth
while. — Saturday Evel tag Post.

the desired end is attained. With
critical questions besetting it on

In Alaska was nut., .iunug the Ru •
siau occupation, on the Anau -
river, a tributary of tii* Kuskokwim.
The Aoauk river was discovere |
by a Russian trader, Slmenseu Lu
keen, m 1832. at waicU time he
built a fort, called Lukeeus fort,
on the Kuskokwim, Xo uiiles ab°^®
the mouth of the Aue.uk. It w
partially destroyed by natives in
IS41 and rebuilt 1>>- Kamakoff,
Russ'an trader. and afterwards
called Kamakoff Redoubt.
In 1}>32 the bcaatjuui iona ,
Sussum American Fur company j
ivere at Sitka, and supplies wore |
transported from there to Lukoen's
fort by way of Nushagak river, Tic
ehic river and lake down the Anauk
to the Kuskokwim, and thence by
Bteam 25 miles to the fort
In IS37 the yearly supplies were
sent in by the wa.v of the mouth of
the Kuskokwim river and the old
way abandoned ns ;• summer route
and used only for t ■> purpose of
sending out the in during the wii*
ter by dog team.
It was the only winter route the
Russians ever iu<- i J cm any jioint
ou the Yukon to tiie outside (Sitka)
and v.-as only abandoned for the
purpose after thev left the country.
It was while on cue of these
trios in 1832, that the Russians dis
covered gold ou the Anauk, and it
is known today as the Yellow river
of tut- Russians. It is not known
whether they ever attempted min
ing on a largo scale, or whether
they found gold in paying quantities
but it i ' the first lime on record o
