TACOMA, Oct. 26.- Special The Hon.
O.--V. Morgan, NJ. r.. OF London, Eng
land, was in the city for few hours last
evening, en- route to San Francisco. He
was accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter, they having crossed the continent over
the Canadian Pacific, in which property
Mr.. Morgan evinces lively interest. IS do,
IN tact, most Engiishmen.
Mr. Morgan represents in parliament the
fourth largest constituency in London. A
brief chat on various topics hit upon at
random with this traveller evinced an unu-
suaiiy comprehensive knowledge compared
with the average English tourist one meets
ct hotels, in railway trans or aboard steam
ships Of both English and American poll
ties.
His admiration OF the Canadian Pacific
road led to queries anent commercial
union and the effect of the Mckinley bill
in Canada.
''While was addressing meeting of business
men at Quebec . few days ago. said Mr.. Nor
gan. mi. Erastus Wimaa was speaking to an
assemblage ~ Montreal. on commercial union
or reciprocity. but It, reciprocity or what not II
Mr.. Wiman's theories were carried out, would
result in practical commercial union. This the
home government would not approve OF, nor do

wish It, In Canada, il 10 my opinion, the bulk
OF the prominent people look upon the Nc
Kinley bill as being aimed directly ct the Do
minion- That is . mistaken idea, to my mind,
as the bill is not aimed af any particular coun-
try. its aim being to protect and foster the in
dustries Of the United States of America
Mr.. Morgan Is Liberal and great ad-
mirer OF Gladstone. of whom he says:
He Is just as able man in parliament as ever,
though he is . trine deaf and has to hold his
hand TO his ear during debates
While Mr.. Morgan is not an advocate OF
the policy of protection. being brought up
under free trade, he shows his liberal
ethics by admitting that he can understand
how protection would greatly benefit cer-
tain sections of country. especially when
the industries to be protected are still in
their infancy
" And 1t has always been q question in my
mind" said he, just how much good protec-
ton brings 10 American manufacturers. But as
for the West-speaking of the Western as com

have often thought the West would have some
such arrangement with the East as the colonies
have with the home government The colonies
are at liberty-with one or two exceptions-t0

their shores from England. and they take Cd

1t is manifestly unjust for the VEST where

the East whcres manufactures Of all kinds
abound. In this respect Canada has the ad-
vantage OF the Western states OF the United
6tates, as Canadian merchants have the whole
OF English possessions to trade with.'
As to Canada, for instance, desiring COM
mercial union with the United States, Mr..
Morgan intimated, were the desire uni
vefsal, the home government would not
object.
/" In fact" said he. "it is now the policy OF
the mother country TO allow the colonies to do
about % they choose. I"
Relative to the recent controversy touch
ing upon the seal fisheries, he thought Mr..
Blaine was wholly in the wrong. In any
event, he felt sure the matter would be
promptly arbitrated by q third power,
should there be any advances toward war.
Mr.. Morgan advocates arbitration. He
sent 70 this country by England some years
ago, to work out an international arbitra-
tion policy. He also favored arbitration In
the Alabama difficulty.
"Indeed, il would seem highly out of place,

tries Of the world TO go TO seal hsheries,
or for any other cause. Yes. that's happy COM

unwise move, as Canada. taken under
such forcible means, would ever continue q
thorn in our side. But even if war were
declared he would still cling to the belief
that arbitration would, like oil. be poured
upon the troubled waters, with good effect.
For some thirty years Mr.. Morgan has
been one of the publishers of the Iyvn-
ntonger, of London, perhaps the leading
iron trade journal of the world. He is
also publisher OF the Chemist and Dyuggist.

the Austl allan ballot system, and as for
this country, he felt that the system should
be SO extended that il would prevent the
buying of seats in congress. which, he
maintains, cannot occur in England. In
fact, he considers England the best gov
erened country on the face of the globe.
s.While We are growing yearly more demo-
cratic" the traveller said thoughtfuily, "the
United States and France are drifting just the
other way, slowly but steadily; time will prove
it. England 10 ruled by the people-in parlia-
ment-more than the United States in congress.
Our people take much more interest In what
parliament is doing than do Americans in what
congress Is doing Then the people OF England
b ave confidence in the work OF parliament, but
in America, how often do You hear people say
they are glad when congress or your state legis-
lature adjourne?"
France and the United States Mr. Nor
gan considers the two nations of the world,
now most securely in the grasp Of the
money power.
Reference to the big turnout on the oc-
casion of the burial of Mrs. General Booth,
at London recently, being made, Mr.. Nor
