FAvoRs 4 DUTY 0N WHEAT.
Mr.. LosUfher Begins to Realize the Valme
of Protection.

LONDON, Enc, Dec 11.-Right. Hon.
James Lowther, NJ. p, presided over a
sparsely attended conference OF protec-
tionists in st. James Hall. Among those
present were Commoners Howarth, Dis
raeli, Seton Karr and Sandys.
Mr.. Lowth addressed the conference,
and in the course of his remarks laid
great str ass upon the statements that Mr..
Wilford Laurier, Prime Minister of the
Dominion OF Canada, had promised not to
interfere with the protective policy of
Canada. The last general election there,
he said, was definite settlement of the
Canadian policy in the direction of pro-
lection.
Mr.. Lowther said he was strongly op-
rosed to the ruin of England by Man
itoba wheat as by Minnesota wheat, and
declared that IL was no longer true that
the masses in England were opposed 10
any imposition of duties. Mr.. Lowther
explained that between 2,500,00O and
3,OOO,OO acres OF land bad been elbowed
out OF cereal production in England for
6 1906 600 worth OF imports, the
most OF which could be produced. He
was in favor of duty of per cent on
wheat, which. he said, would yield rev.
enue of f12. 100000. yet only raising
the price OF bread for full-grown man

FOR A MoDkKArE MEASURE.
All Interests to Re Considered IL, the Getc
Tariff BtH.

Tariff BtH.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec IL. "A
moderate measure is the characterization
which leading Republicans of the House
give to the new tariff bill which it is pro-
posed to frame this winter in anticipation
of an extra session of Congress. It Is ex-
planned that what is desired is bill which
will provide sufficient revenue to cover
the deficit now existing, furnishing proper
protection to home industries. and also
that conditions have changed since what
IS known as the Mckinley bill became
law, and that rates of duty that were iustl-
fed then are unnecessary at present. The
sugar schedule promises 10 cause more
EN- barrassment than any other in the bill.
The agriculture schedule will probably be
fixed at the former rate of duty. while the
wooden schedule, it is said. will receive a
sufficient protection to satisfy the manu-
facturers. The cotton and steel and iron
schedules are now likely to be changed.
The bill, it is saio, will contain a pro-
vision that goods In bond will, when
taken out. pay the rate Of duty in force
and not the lower rate at which they were
originally brought to this country.
An arrangement will be made whereby
dates will be assigned to certain interests
to be heard, so that there may be some
systematic method of giving the hearings
without embarrassment The date upon
which the hearings will begin will be
made public when the full committee
meets.

NO REASON
WHY We Should not Have Free
Coinage, Says President Ben
JaInn Andrews.

There has been much argument in
Napoleon by the republican gold
standard adherents to the effect that
should free coinage prevail gold
would cease to circulate or would
find its way to European countries.
To retute such assertions. we here
quote from President Benjamin An
dreWs, OF Brown University. Boston,
Mass, who is undisputed uponpoliti-
cal economy.
There will not be any Jackson who
would even dare think of criticising
President Andrews in his position
from an intelligent point of view, for
gentleman OF that character never
talks buncombe when called upon to
answer a question professionally.
This is mis- statement in full taken
from the Enquirer of last Saturday.
BOSTON, June 26th.-President E.
Benjamin Andrews, of Brown Uni
versity, has written the following
letter on the money question to
Stephen w. Nickerson, of Boston,
Mass.

ted States in freely coming silver at

national agreement, you ask what,
if any, objections I would urge
against this policy. | reply that |
would urge none. The vast new out
put of gold in recent years, as COM
pared with that of silver, impresses
me that free coinage by us alone
would not lead to displacement of
our gold; that, therefore, free coin
age would be safe.
"If it is safe, it is certainly de-
sirable. Of course, no one can be
absolutely certain that we could pro-
ceed with silver free coinage and yet
retain our gold. therefore do not
dogmatize, but leave that to the gold
men. TO my mind, however, the
overwhelming probability is that
gold would stay with US. have
noticed of late no serious argument
to show that it would not"
President Andrews has hitherto
opposed free coinage unless by in
ternational agreement.
