that policy wit) sotn have, to make
the fight of its life, The split in the
Balfour ministry brings tltolswe to
the front in uch a menacing way
that the uuisiion win have lo be re
ferred to .he people of the kingdom
before many more .'months' pass.
Colonial Secretary Chamberluln, who
has Ju.-t stepped down out of the
cabinet, want a system of tariff
duties which will give A preference
ti Ihe products of England's colonies,
though Ihe cuuipeiisatlon demanded
is a preference on tho part of the
colonies) to imports from England.
Premier Balfour wantsatariu scheme
whereby retaliatory duties can be
imposed on goods from the countries
which lax the imports of British
commodities, which oiestis virtuaty
all tbe great countries of Ihe world.
The difference Ix-tween the Cham
berlain and the Balfour idea may not
seem important to the world at large,
for each con tern plates the imposition
of duties on some or many of the
products of the rest ot tne great
countries. It is important enough,
however, In the opinion of Mr. Cham
berlain, to prevent the two leaders
from working in harmony together,
and hence the colonial secretary re
tires. On one point lioth Balfour
and Chamberlain are agreed. They
believe the British people are not yet
prepared to tax imports of fond pro.
duels. Moreover, they think that a
louir cstutiaii.Mi of education will be
necessary to win them to the laxi'.ioi
side, eveu if they can be won at all.
in auy case the malt'-r will have to
go to the British electorate fcr a de
cision, and this will briujr up the
whole question of protection and free
trade in a more direct way than at
my time since the free-trade basis
was reached, over half century ago.
The election will have a great inter
est for tbe people of the United States
as well as for the otfaer great count
riea. Tne adoption, of a policy of
protection would injury American
exortalioa Into Euglaud, for time
at least. Tbe fact, however, that it
would make food dearer In England
will be a strong , argument against
both the Balfour and Ihe Chamber
lain plan. This U a point which will
be urged with great force by the
Liberal ' party, which, in general,
will take grouud againi-t tbe adop
tion of protection- There is a chance,
indeed, for a return of the Liberals
to power on this Issue. In auy case,
an element of Interest has been in
jected into British politics such as it
has not felt since homo rule for Ire
land was defeated. Globe Democrat,

; Alexander W. Black, LitMtraluut-m-ber
or Parliament for ' RaunVUliit
makes public an intrvllng aeriea of
which passed between hlmsell nd
Mr. Chamberlain, in Which' Mr.'
Black maintains that tho former
colonial ftscre'ary launched his fiscal
scheme while Ignorant of UanadVs'
attitude.
In the first letter, dated September
7, Mr. Black point out that Mr.
Chamberlain, replying to a qqet;tion
from the writer in--the Housn of
Commons, July 22, stated that the
Canadian government had had no
direct oi rrespondence with Oermany j
concerning the tariff arrangements
and that the Canadian government
could uot communicate with Ger
many through his msjpaly's jjovern
merit. Tho subsequent publication
on tho tariff correspondence showed
that official correspondence had part
ed between the Canadian premier
and Mr. Bopp, German consul al
Montreal, In which tho Caimdian
policy toward Germany was clearly
defined. Mr. Black asked the colo
nial secetary ti reconcile bis reply
with the facts eho n in tho corres
pondence. -Replying
on September 9, Mr.
Chamberlain said he was unaware of
the corresiMiudenco, as the Canadian
government had not kept him In
formed, hut he bad now asked Ihwj
dominion government to kiep hlmj
informed on any unofficial negotia
Hons they might conduct.
Mr. Black, replying to this letter,'
pointed out that Mr. "Chamberlain
makes tbe damaging admission that
he announced his preferential tarjffj
scnetue without Having knowledge
of tbe correspondence, which showed)
that Canada intended to negotlatd
directly with Germany and was pie'
pared to give Germany the sarao prei
ferential ( treatment as the mother
country. Mr. Black said that Mr,
Chamberlain must seo that the re
ciprocity part of his fiscal scheme
can not stand without the colonlet
urrenderin their fiscal lodJpendenm
Mr, Chamberlain replied that tbe
presont correspondence was not ret
evant to the fiscal controversy. He
bad not heard of any Intention oo
the part of Canada to directly negoti
ate tariffs and be declined to argue
the question in a private correspond
ence. .1
Tbe Colorado State Journal says
that the Cripple Creek "miner have
no direct dispute with their employ
ers, who were paying them satisfac
tory wages and working them satit
facloro". hours." .'Their ' strike is a
sympathy strike, which is always
sad everywhere to be condemned.
As a consequence of this senselers
contest, many of tho mines in the
richest gold field of the United States
are closed, business of all sorts there
and other places affected thereby is
at a standstill, and the- miners will
lose hundreds of thousands Of dollars
in wagrs, to say nothing about tbe
losses which are inflicted on the gen
eral public, which is innocent of all
connection with the fight on any
side, -Seldom does stupidity in A
