suggested that these Boer farm
 CTS, who had previously pre-
 ferred the desert to our civiliza-
 tion, had vast plan on foot to
 drive us out of South Africa.
 One more instance of the per
 version of facts to which we are
 treated in the press and by
 Unionist speakers. The Trans
 vaal government levied taxes
 on the mines, and it spent the
 money on public works advan-
 tageous to the permanent inter
 est of the country, and on ar
 maments rendered necessary to prevent the Uitlanders from once again, with the aid of MT.
 Rhodes, subverting the govern ment. The law in England is that all gold found in the soil belong to the State, and such terms are exacted from private persons wishing to work a gold mine that the State allows a fair return to the capitalist working it. Coal and minerals, other than gold and silver, do not come under this law. They be- long to the owner. He exacts for higher terms for working 'them than the Transvaal gov ernment does, and the tax or royalty goes, not to the State, but | to the private owner. Against this radical change they have al ways protested, and have claim ed that all in excess of a fair re- turn on capital should belong to the state. Why, then, should we go to war with the Transvaal government to oblige it to renounce all claim on the metals found on it's territories, for the benefit of mine owners who, notwithstanding the tax or royalty exacted, are able to secure fabulous returns on their inveStmentS?"
 The foregoing is the deliber- ate statement of a leading Brit ist journal whose editor, MT. LabouchRr, is prominent mem Der of Parliament, and there is every reason to believe that it is true. It is also well to add that the cause of the war, as re- gently presented by MT. Joseph Chamberlain, the British Colon

great many of our own people are in the dark as to the causes that led to the war between Great Britain and the BoerS in South Africa, it may be of inter est to a considerable number of our readers to reproduce the fol lowing statement which ap- peared in a recent issue of the London Truth:
 "The Transvaalers trekked into the desert, and they there established a Dutch Republic. We agreed not to interfere in the internal affair of the Repub- lie. It was as though we had recognized a land of refuge, when Dutch laws and Dutch manners should prevail, just as in the United States there are reservations where only In dians may live. But, this hay ing been done, gold was discov- cred in the soil of the Republic. The Dutch allowed all corners to profit by it under mining laws which are admitted to be far more favorable to fhe workers than are those of some of our colonies and territories. This gold will, it is estimated, be ex- hausted in about twenty years. The Uitlander owners of mines wished to become the masters of the country by a change in the franchise law. We backed them up, and now we prate about equality of all whites in the Republic. But this equality would mean the supremacy of the Uitlanders over the Dutch. What, then, would become of the land of refuge to which the latter betook themselves in or der to remain Dutch? What would happen when the mines are exhausted? These Uitland- CTS would leave the country. Our demand was therefore made to meet a mere temporary state of things. Even if the demand was just, which it was not, why should we have gone to war to convert Englishmen into Repub licans of foreign State when they at most intended to remain there only until the golden har
