e Corday Stopped. Par ited all in salag Y the 1¢ pur 19. 1907. Keadall Cs., tants Enosburg Palls, Ha disappearâ€" latest bits eatened i# 3e NT at 30 eeT He stated all these difficulties in no spirit of criticism, but only to show the difficuities in the way of an advanâ€" tageous preferential tarifi in favor of this country, even where there was a system of protection. In a free trade country where duties were levied for revenue purposes only, the difficulty would be much greater. Britain now ofiered the freest possible market. Prefâ€" erential tariffie would involve the givâ€" ing of less to other people, not of more to the colonies. They involved the setâ€" against the foreigner. The Canadian gariff had been beneficial to British trade rather by way of stopping the deâ€" erease than by causing an actual inâ€" crease in the proportion of the total trade. _ The Canadian manufacturers, however, had remained protected. _ On dutiable goods the average ad valorem rate was about 25 per cent. for both the United Kingdom and the United States. Taking the average of all goods, dutiable and free, the ad valorem rate for goods from the United Kengdom was 19 per cent. and for United States goods 13 per cent. Australia‘s prefer; ential rates were given ouly to goods brought in British ships manned by white labor. This was a serious considâ€" eration, as it involved a policy which the home Government could not but deprecate. The preference was restrictâ€" ed to 8 per cent. The trade, it would appear, gave a profit to the British imâ€" poiter which might amount to £90,000 or â€"£100,000. (On examining the preferential tariffs of the colonies he found the South African preference to be very liberal, but it was too early to judge its effect on British trade. _ New Zealand‘s prefâ€" erential tariff covered only 20 per cent. of her import trade. _ ‘The preference was arrived at by raising the duties against the foreigner. The Canadian #ariff had been beneficial to British tions were Zo., per ceni. and jo.) PC eent., respectively.. _ In 1906 the propor tions were 23.4 and 76.6 per cent.. res pectively. In the case of exports to th United Kingdom the proportions for th same periods were 31.6 and 68.4 pe cent., respectively, and 32.8 and 67.2 pe gent., respectively. ernment held that free trade was vital to the interests of the Unitea Kingdom. Britain has a population of 44,000,000, bearing the whole weight of an enorâ€" mous debt, largely contracted in building up the empire, as well as the weight of the cost of imperial diplomacy and imâ€" perial defence. That population was deâ€" vendent for food and raw materials on external sources of supply. That was an essential point of consideration. How was the supremacy of Britain maintained? He thought it must be atâ€" tributed to her specia! productive activiâ€" ty, to profits which she obtained from kéeping the biggest open market in the world, to the enormous earnings of her shipping. All these were based in the long run on keeping our food and raw materials on the same basis and as nearâ€" Iy as possible at the same price. After the fullest discussion and examination the people of Britain had declared in favor of free trade by a majority unexâ€" ampled in size. The Government could not accept any infringement of that poliâ€" e¢y, even by way of such an experiment as Dr. Jameson suggested. Having stated that necessary fact, Mr. Asquith proceeded to criticize Mr. Deaâ€" kin‘s speech. Mr. Deakin had said that Britain was excluded from foreign marâ€" kets by tariif walls, but she practically evoerywhere had the mostâ€"favoredâ€"nation treatmont. She, on the whole, stood in a better position in the protected marâ€" kots than did the nations under the proâ€" tective system. Her fdreign trade had grown rather more rapidly in those marâ€" koets than elsewhere. The reason was that people required what Britain could sell, and the supply would last as long as the need did. He pointed out tnat CGermany stands rext to India and the United States in the list of the Unmited Kingdom‘s ecustomers. iTe further noted that though the volâ€" ume of British trade had largely inâ€" creased, the proportion of it as between the colomies and foreign countries had remained practicaly constant. In 1855 1869, in the case of imports, the proporâ€" tions were 23.7 per cent. and 76.3 per eent., respectively.. _ In 1906 the proporâ€" tions were 234 and 76.6 per cent.., res pectively. In the case of exports to the RIN & specen, Britain was kets by tari every where | treatmont. _ a better pos koets than dik tective syste grown rathe1 kets than e that people : sell, and the as the need Cermany sta United State Kirgdom‘s e SP_CCRCs wul be issued toâ€"morrow, Sir James MacKay said the interests of India did not eall for ary change in her fiscal system. lt was not menaced by the restrictive tariffs of forcign counâ€" tries, which sold India £18,000,000 worth of coods and bought £56,000,000 worth. Unler reciprocal preference India nad more to give than to receive. India was the heritage of the whole empire, and any preference granted the United Kingâ€" dom by the selfâ€"governing colonies should also be granted to India. tieneral Botha said hbe had no manâ€" date, but expressed the opinion that the resolution of 1902 shouid stand. He did not think any good would result from pressing on the mother country any advance on that. _ The respective CGovernments should be free to manage mir Robert Bond joined Sir Wiltrid Lairier in supporting the resolution of 1902. His Government desired to coâ€" operate in all possible ways in the policy of preference between the United Kingâ€" dom and the colonies. The Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Asquith said Sir Wilfrid Laurier kad pointed out on several occeasions what the basis of unity must be. Each member of the empire must look first to its own interest, and would . best serve the whole by so doing. The colonâ€" ies had received full fiscal independence, and had even used it to build up tariff walils against the mother country. .

Ottawa, May 6.â€"For the fourth year in succession the Department of Fishâ€" eries proposes to bring out Mr. J. J. Cowie, of Lossiemouth, Scotland, to demonstrate to the fishermen of the Maritime Provinces the Scottish method of curing fish. Mr. Cowie is recognized to be one of the best experts in Seotâ€" land on herring curing. and that his laâ€" bors in Canada have been satisfactory is evidenced by the fact ofi the department reâ€"encasing him. He tnought. however, that the disâ€" eussion had tnzown light on other methâ€" ods by which the interimperial trade relations might be improved. Reference had been made to possible improvement in the means of communication, espeâ€" cially by steamer services; to the inâ€" crease in the number of commercial agents of the colonies; to the desirabilâ€" ity of removing or reducing the Suez The Silverlip, Captain Hocken, which belongs to the Shell Transport and Tradâ€" ing Co., of London, was on her way from Ningapore on May 1, when an explosion of benzine in her cargo burst the vesâ€" sel‘s decks open and set fire to the ship. The engineer and four firemen were killâ€" ed and four others of the crew were seriâ€" ously burned. The 48 survivors of the crew were rescued by the Woestgate and brought to this port. _Nir. Asquith proceeded to consider on what preference must have been giver, if at all, in 1905. Five million five hunâ€" dred thousand pounds represented the value of articles, wholly or partly manuâ€" factured, imported from the colonies, £32,500,000 the raw materials, £27,750, 000 the food, drink and tobacco. _ ‘That meant that preference to be of value imust be in respect to raw materials and foodstuffs. if such preference were granted the very citadel of free trade would be attacked, sources of supply would be restricted and prices raised. He was aware that this view was disâ€" puted, but the Government adhered to it, and the people of Britain had expressed their agreement. In the case of articles of necessity, where there was no chanes oi local production fully making up the deâ€" ficiencies, the levying of a duty must sooner or later raise the price to the consumer. For these reasons the home (iovernment, speaking for the people, could not accept the prineiple of preferâ€" ertial trade by way of a tariff preferâ€" ence. I’l.\'m:mti;.

Torrey is facing a suit for defamation of charâ€" acter, brought against him by Norman Murray, on account of a retort allegad to have been made by Dr. Torrey in St. James Methodist Church the night before last. "How about King David?" Mr. Murâ€" ray had asked, interrupting the remarks of the evangelist on the evil consequences of infidelity. Dr. Torrey explained toâ€"day that his words had not been accurately reportâ€" ed, but that they had been made rather more cutting than they had originally been. _ "In the first place," ke said, "I did not institute any comparison | beâ€" tween David and Mr. Murray; I said merely that David had been a great very great sinner, but that he had been saved, as Mr. Murray could be, even if he had been arrested for selling obscene literature on the «treet. You see. I did not make a positive assertion, but merely said that salvation was possible for him even in such a case. I‘m not worrying about this action." Dr. Torrey continued. with a smile of cheerful asâ€" surance; "but if I am delayed in this city, and so cannot go on to fill my enâ€" wagements, some one will have to pay me the damages T suffer, as Mr. Murray will find to his cost. At the rate of one hundred and fifty dollars or so a day, he will be surprised at the way the bill will amount up. _ If Mr. Murâ€" ray wants an action he will get one, and probably more than he cares fod. _ He has absolutely ro case and he will have to pay for any losses T suffer through his suit." "King David was a better man than you," the doctor is alleged to have reâ€" plied, "but there is hope for you, even though you were arrested for selling obscene literature on the street." This retort has led to a threat of an action for damages, of which notice was served on Dr. Torrey by Messrs, Beaunâ€" chesne & Des Jardins.
