Commerce and Political Solidarity All Seein to n?iuaiid n tladlcul Change In the Fiscal Sys tem of the British Empire. The battle for protection, prosperity and the preservation of the British eui jvire has been brought to a clearly de lim-d stage by the voluntary retirement of Joseph Chamberlain from his post of secretary of state for the colonies. ;.ir. Chamberlain quits the ministry anil becomes a private citizen in order thr.; his open fight for protection may t'r • the government from eiubarrass- m■ -nt. while at the same time enabling liim to carry 011 his warfare unshac kled by official ties. Some weeks ago Mv. Chamberlain suid: t'uless the question of trade and commerce is settled satisfactorily I for G-.ie do not iM'lieve in the continuance of the British empire." Holding'this view, he could not well r main identified with a government il ; sughly committed to free trad' 1 ! therefore hostile to his plan of : 'tig British industry and knitting t.._. ;iier tbe British empire through U. adoption of some form of protec ts 1 that would hold the home market :.ir:!inst the injurious competition of protected countries, such as Germany itii(l the United States, while at the . .ne time providing for a system of preferential tariffs whereby the trade of the colonies could be gained and I Id by British manufacturers. in this economic and political aspiration, ii"! yet developed into a detailed plan of action, Mr. Chamberlain had and ! - the approval of Lord Balfour, the 1 it. Balfour, like Chamberlain, is fully convinced that protection is the only path that leads to safety for British industry, British commerce and British political solidarity. These two < ir;:r sighted statesmen were, however, biitorly opposed by a majority of free traders in the ministry, Cobdenites discredited theory and refuse to recog nize cither the present causes of com mercial decline or the future dangers which threaten the alienation of tbe oclonles. Chamberlain's resignation and its flat I.'ring acceptance by Balfour have [i ..duci'd a profound shock in the Unit ed Kingdom. The British people are ! uddenly brought face to face with the issue of protection versus free trade. They had not expected the ci sis to come so soon. Most of them had not expected it to come at all. From this time forward the light is on. Chamberlain has placed himself at the head of the forces of protectionism. The man and the hour have come to got her. Already British thought is stirred up as it has not been stirred for nearly fifty years. The campaign of education has begun in earnest. The columns of British newspapers are full of protectionist pica and argument. For example, the London Daily Tele f.rapli contains a series of articles, ably and forcibly written, in which the experiences of the United States .un der the policy of protection are cited to show the wonderful progress made by this country by reason of its early adoption of the plan of stimulating its osvn industries by tariffs designed to restrict foreign competition. As the result of all this agitation and spread of knowledge and light the British voter is going to know very I'Uteh more than he ever knew before about the policy, the principle and Un practical workings of protection. The more iie knows about it the better lie will like it. It is a solved problem i i the United States. The process of i;s solution in Great Britain is certain t«'i be an interesting one. There can 1. but one outcome. Great Britain will adopt protection In some form. • he must. One of Ihe Effects.

No wonder that with a population of one-third of what we have now they could meet the expenses of the govern ment, which were but one-tenth of what they ure now, and yet even In this they failed before the end of their free trade experiment. But the great lesson to be drawn from a comparison of 1853 with 1903 is the fact that today we are doing our own work, while fifty years ago we were having It done for us across the sea. Fifty years ago our people were idle, they had no income to speak of, the farmer had no market for his prod uce, there were ten men looking for every Job. whereas today there are sorn.'times two or three jobs looking for a man t iiTnrw—■ rrr T Capital anJ Surplus, $450,000.00 jjj | I | 3per cent.
