The retirement of Sit Henry Durand from the British. embassy at Wash- ington' (not his transfer to some oth- er embassy), has occasioned many rumours thet are more or less offen- sive, Sir Henry 'has been in the diplomatic service fore over thirty years, and the manner in which he has carried himself, with dignity and dis- tinction, is generally admitted. What then has caused his return to Eng- land so soon ? There are many explanations, and not one which i& esteemed acceptible. It is said, that he does not meet the American idea of diplomacy, which idea is exemplified by the appoint- ment sometimes of men to the Euro. pean cmbassies who have not been attached to the diplomatic corps. It is reported that he did not reflect thi foundland question. Tt is whispered in some American circles that Durand was not agrecable to the president, that the Austrian and, @ronch am- bassadors ran in 'and out of the White House daily without ceremony, and played tennis and rode horseback with Mr. Roosevelt. Durand came and went with the hauteur of the English noblemen, who reflocted in his person some of the his nation. Finally, the it that Lady Susan with a social alus that has fwen approved by royalty, talked too much of the Dur ands and made their in Wash- ington intollerable. greatness of gossips Townley, have stay All of which may have nothing to do really with the change in the em- bassy. The world will never know the secret, as it is not in form to give out the reasons for diplomatic departures to the newspaper press, The one thing known is this--that the new ambassador, Hon. James Bryce, author of the American Common- wealth, is a great publicist and one who will serve his government satisfy the American people. has mot been schooled in diplomacy, but he knows his place in public life and he is perhaps one of the aggressive representatives of the Brit- ish government. If Durand's useful- ness has been afiected by the pests of society they will find in Mr. Bryce one who' will end their troubles speedily. and True he most Cost Of The Elections.

What he and others squandered and did not ac count for would startle the people if the facts were known. In the old land things are not much better though the idea is being con- tinually advanced that the political depravity of the people has not reach- od the low water mark of Canada or the United States. The pablished turn of the last general elections in Britain, giving the expenses of the candidates, is a revelation. Votes, the kingdom over, averaged 4s. 13d., or about $1 each. In England the aver- age cost per vote was 4s. 1d.; in Scot- land, 4s. 6d.; and in Ireland, 3s. Sd. They ranged from Sd. each in Leincesier for Macdonald, labour candidate, to £13, 8s. 6d. per vote for Spencer Richardson in Seven Oaks. \ Even the great Chamberlain, all his prestige and resources in or- ganization, spent an average of 2s. each for the 7,173 voters which he se cured, and his: son, Austin Chamber lain, in East Worchester, spent 3s. 7d. for every vote which was counted in his behalf, And the hall has not been told. The published expenses are only those which the candidates are willing - to submit for public scrutiny.

It is evident manufacturers, ani it has ground on which to found a protest in the re cent assertion of Industrial Canada. This contemporary announced that "the Canadian manufacturers are no longer satisfied with the home mar- ket. They are seeking businessin the markets of the world." The Weekly Sun ou this as follows : "The trade returns for the year end- ing June last show that there were exported from Canada in that year over twenty-seven and one-half mil- lion dollars' worth of manufactured this total was nearly! two and one-half million dol- lars in leather and articles made from leather; $2,494,000 in iron and steel Doas, and over one and one-quarter millions in cottons. In selling these abroad Canadian manufacturers were obliged to compete on absolute- ly equal terms with the manufacturers ok 4 Sreat Britain, the United States, el "On the other hand, on the leather goods sold in the home market their protection, under the new tariff, runs all the way from 124 to 40 per cent.; on certain lines of cottons they have 25 per cent. ae against Great Britain, 35 per cent. against the United States, and well on to 50 per cent. against Germany; in iron and steel the pro- tection in the home market also runs up almost to the 50 per cent. mark against German woods. "And still our manufacturers are not satisfied. They want still higher Protection so that they may charge the home consumer even more than is beine charced now. Surely thev should be satisfied with a tariff which will enable them to charge, on the aver age, their home customers over 27 ner cent. more than they charge their foreign customers." Practically there is a repetition of the experience Jjn the United States, when the tariff was the highest. The Americans were heing charged the prices which a protected home market afforded, and the surplus products were bein sold abroad at whatsoever they would bring. They werd. it was charg- od, being slaughtered in some cases for the benefit of the foreigners. The result was a reaction in favour of a revised or lowered tarifi, There has been agitation in this direction for years, but so far without effect. The people in the United States pay more for manufactured goods of certain kinds than the 'People of Germany and China. ¢ " Editorial Notes.
