ing to Increased Duties.
PARIS. Feb. 3.-The new tariff has caused a
general disorganlzation Of business connected
with the import trade. The authorities are
overwhelmed with protests from people who
claim that their goods ought - have been ad-
mitted under the old rate. la some cases
these claims depend upon the question OF
whether the arrival Of a vessel could be en-
tered before it was actually in port. AT the
land frontiers also there has been great trouble
and confusion.
The Germans who send sheep 10 the Paris
market have cut down the usual number 70
ope-half. owing 10 the customs tarin, and
this has caused an advance in prices.
There is disposition on the part OF many
tradesmen 20 advance prices on goods not ar
fected by the tariff, partly out Of desire TO
make money and partly to make the tarih un.
nopular. This course IS strongly condemned
bv public opinion and an effort may DO made
To reach the offenders by legislation.

WORLD'S FAIR POSTOFFICE.
Inspector Stoddard VIII Submit His Plans
at Once to the Department.

CHICAGO, Feb 3.-Postoffice- Inspector Stod-
dard has practically completed his investiga-
tions for a plan for Worlds Fair postoffice.
He will return to Washington to-day and lay
the results of his work before the Postotice
Department. Although the inspector could
not make public the work accomplished it
is known that his plan contemplates post
Office at the Worlds Fair grounds which
will not only be ample in capacity
to accommodate the 10000 exhibitors. but
will be a postofice which will do credit to
any of the larger cities in the United States.
The employees will number between 400 and
50O and it is believed that Inspector Stoddard
will recommend that the Office, instead OF
having a postmaster, be placed under the
control of Postmaster Sexton. The plans
for the postoffice will be drawn by Architect
Edbrooke of the Treasury Department. In
asmuch as the work of construction is so lar
advanced on the Worlds Fair buildings the
postoffce will probably be included in the
Government building.

ries Of parliamentary battles. which. 1t is ex-
pected. will he followed few months later by
a general election. will appear on Friday next
in the columns OF the Weekly star.
Mr.. Gladstone does not advocate any par
ticuar policy. but simply makes some good
points upon which to hang the elements Of
the Liberal policy He deals particularly with
the history and conditions Of the rural popu-
lation from the time of severe impression
down TO the present time. In summing up
this review of the condition or the agrlcui-
tural masses Mr. Gladstone says that he con,
sideIs that the conditions Of the agricaitural
classes have slowly improved; but be ADDS
the Improvement made IS not yet suincient,
and additional legislation for the aSrlcultural
population and the passage If a Iurther meas

DISTRESSING INCIDENTS.
During the course Of his remarks Mr. Glad
stone referred to the distressing incidents
which happened At Manchester in 1919, when
one hundred thousand workmen held
out. and while % dong were
charged upon by tho cavalry, who rode the
defencsess people down beneath their
horses hoofs. killing eleven OF them ana
wounding SIX hundred. Tie veteran states

regulations or other legislative restrictions.

the question # repeal Of combination laws
and Of the effects they have had upon the I'M
mense growth OF the trade uniOnlsm, wnlch
he explains has been a great benefit TO LABOR

LIBERATrSG OF TIE PRESS.
The liberating of the press. according to
Mr.. Gladstone, Is one Of the greatest liberal
measures OF the century and las ia his opin-
ion been productive OF an immense amount
of good In other portions Of his manifesto
Mr.. Gladstone prays that the rural worker be
delivered from the landlord the clergyman
and the farmer, who, he says, are holding
themselves aloft from the labOrers and set
ting themselves upon q high plane where
they are unknown and do not care tor the
labOreTs.
In conclusion Mr.. Gladstone reviews the
work done and the resolutions passed by the
recent meeting in London OF the Liberal del
egates from the agricultural districts Just pre-
yiOus 20 his departure for the continent, and
ne again advocates the establishment Oi par
ish councils as being an Indispensable auXll-
iary to legal government. and advises iaguely
that the economy remedy should be adopted,
which be thinks would bring greet satlsiac-
ton to the tilleTs OF the soil.
