Salisbury Deplores Decay of British
Trade-English Land Purchase.


BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 25.-The Unionists gave a
luncheon in honor OF Lord Salisbury today. In
speech, referring to the tariff question, he
said that on all sides there appeared constantly
increasing protective duties calculated to stifie
British trade. The protection heresy on which
the tariffs were founded grew, like other evil
passions, upon what IL fed. Watching English
statistics he could not but feel anxiety lest the
efforts of foreign protectionists should be par
TALLY successful. The error of foreign states
men might be translated to Great Britain. I'm
doubtedly British trade was being hindered for
the moment by foreign legislation. Con-
tinuing, he said the government will seize
with avidity on any measure promising legiti-
mately to increase employment for laborers
either in towns or in the rural districts. One
of the most acute Of the governments anxieties
was tho fact that people, in their ignorance, de-
sired remedies which, II obtained would plunge
them into far greater misery. The government
had a narrow path to tread. II must avoid dan
gerous apathy in attempting to cure suffering
by simply ignoring the causes. On the other
hand, ii must run the far more dangerous
course of wandering into economic errors that
might plunge the whole country into irrepar-
able disaster. He concluded by copgratulating
the Liberal Unonists on their steady adhesion
TO the Conservative alliance.
Joseph Chamberlain predicted that England's
foreign relations will be seriously menaced II
UiaustoHe again came INTO power, tnus giving
effect TO views against the dreibund.
The conference of the National Union of Con-
servative Associations resumed its session this
morning Resolutions were adopted indorsing
the principle of assisting local authorities in
Great Britain to acquire land for the purpose of
facilitating the creation OF small rural holdings,
which are of great advantage TO the country, by
checking the present drain upon the rural dis
tricts; favoring the extension of commerce
upon preferential basis throughout ali parts of
the British empire; declaring that the provi-
sions and treaties imposing limitations upon
the full development of trade between the
United Kingdom and other parts OF the British
empire should be abrogated, and favoring the
repeal of the clauses in the ballot act permitting
illiterate votes.

AT LONELY POINT BARROW.
No Ships This Year-The Natives BE
coming Extinct.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. Superintendent
Borden, OF the refuge station at Point Barrow,
Alaska, in a report dated August 9, says he has
heard nothing from ships this year, and as 1t Is
getting late and winter is setting in IL is doubt
fu II any will arrive. The ice, in heavy rnasses
and very compact, extends off the shore from
the bar as far as the eye can reach. Forty tons
of coal and stores are on hand sufficient to carry
them comfortably, unless some disaster befals
ships, another year. The winter was mild, with
much pleasant weather. The coldest weather
was in January. when the Thermometer stood
1919 degrees below. The superintendent ex-
presses the opinion that refuge sta
tion filled with rough sailors OF differ
ent natonalities is not proper
place for native school. and
suggests some other provision for the education
OF the young natives. He reports the wreck Of
the schooner Silver Wave in October OF lass
year and assistance rendered the crew. He also
tells Of a conspiracy formed against him by
gang OF seafnen, one of whom. Larson. made an
attempt 10 kill him with a club. Larson was
placed in irons and takcn to place OF safety.
Borden says that in the past year at Cape

SENATOR CARLISLE Is FOR MILLS.
He Says tho Tariff Is the Issue. and sill
yer Must Not BE Discussed.


NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Under date OF November
II Congressman J. D. Warner wrote 70 senator
Carlisle in reference to Congressman Mills candi-
dacy for the speakership, saying, in part, that
he recognized the strength OF Mills claim,
based not only on HIS record. but the fact that
"eyery Democratic member of congress whom
know 10 be in favor OF relegating tariff reform
TO the rear is opposed to Mr.. Mills" IL is. how
ever, asserted says Mr. Warner, that Mills is un-
fitted by temperament to MAKE a digniiied aud
effective presiding officer. Warner begged Car
hsle's opinion on the subject
senator Carlisle in reply, refutes the ssscr-
tion, and says he is sure if Mills is elected no

demeanor general course critical ques-
tions. Referring to the unfortunate disposition
in some quarters to subordinate tho question of
tariff reform TO others less important 70 the peo-
pie and dangerous to the harmony and sue
cess of the Democratic party, the senator says
Upon the tariff question we are practically
united ssEhlle upon the silver question and per-
haps upon some others there arc wide and
honest differences of opinion among the meni-
bers of our party, which can only be reeonciled
by patient deliberations. Why shall we, on the
eve of great national contest when victory ia
almost within our grasp, abandon and ignore
vital issue upon which we united and
waste strength In a fruitless controversy over
questions which can better be adjusted after Is
has been determined what part of their own
earnings the people shall be permitted to keep.
The first duty of the Democratic party Is 20
change the laws under which the earnings OF
the people are taken away from them by unjust
taxation Tor private purposes and whoever pro-
poses to postpone the performance of this duty
in order to inaugurate among ourselves war
over the silver question or any ether is not
counsellor and would not make a safe leader.

MARKET FOR AMERICAN WHISKY.
Bad Crops in Europe Good Thing for
the DfstilIery Trust.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-News was received by
whisky men that the bounty that the German
government had been paying distillers for home
production of high wines was Withdrawn yes
terday. This is presumably on account OF the
short cereal crops. The bounty enabled German
distillers to monopolize the high wine trade of
Great Britain aud France as well as Germany,
hut the removal of the bounty and the high
price of grain has about opened up both the
British isles and the continent to the American
product, ana heavy export trade is already the
result II the demand keeps up as at present it
will be necessary for tae whisky trust TO reopen
several of It's shutdown houses.
