deputy for Macon. and secretary of the
chamber of deputies. in his report on
the foreign office estimates, says:
I'm Egypt. the law of nations remains

ALL FOREIGN GOODS SUBJECT TO
HEAVY DUTY.
REVENUE IS BADLY NEEDED
Taxed Articles Include Spirits, Beer,
Wine, Tobacco, Paper, Agricultural
Implements and Furniture-Trade
of Great Britain Effected.
(By Associated Press.)

New York. Dec. 3-Mr. Robert Shand.
general manager of the Western Aus
tralia Steamship company who has just
arrived here from Liverpool. has been
interviewed upon trade conditions. He
said in part:
Great changes in the trade relations
between Great Britain and Australia will
probably occur in a very short time, as
result Of the new Australian tariff.
This tariff will not injure our trade with
foreign countries. but Great Britain's
trade with us. it is generally believed
will be helped.
Formerly the Australian colonies with
the exception of the free trade colony
of New South Wales. imposed protective
duties against one another. Tho new
federal constitution sweeps all these
away and now all international trade
in Australia is free.
This has. of course. caused a dilnirlu-
ton of revenue in all protected colonies,
and now we propose to raise that amount
OF revenue by increasing the duties on
almost all imported articles. This in
crease viii be levied not only on goods
coming from other countries. but from
all portions of the British empire OUT
side Australia.
THE taxed articles include spirits
beer. wine. tobacco. paper. agricultural
implements and furniture. This is rather
strong evidence against the fallacy that
trade follows the flag
AT present our largest trade is done
with the United States. France and
Germany"
Mr.. Shand said he was here 'to look
over the shipping field and get an idea
as to the prospects it holds out for a
iS ST. rtoI
Will be from San Francisco to Western
Australian ports. The branch office will
also be in San Francisco.
we are confident that the shipping
field here offers excellent Inducements.
Trade between America and Australia
has grown enormously during the past
four years, and not little difficulty is
experienced in getting suitable and fast
freight steamers to handle it,"

The San Francisco call., 1901-10-30
MR.. WELLS SPEECHES.

M R. WELLS speeches at the important
I'M political gatherings held by the supporters of
his ticket have been published in full by The
Call, and any who has had sufficient interest in
his candidacy to read them has found in them ample
evidence upon which to base an estimate of Mr.
Wells ability to talk coherently for as much
or three minutes at time. To phase of those
speeches we desire to direct the attention OF the peo
pie of San Francisco for outside of any question Of
policy involved it is matter of importance to have in
the Mayors Office man who can formulate his ideas
with dehniteness and express them in intelgible
English
Mr.. Wells has not been called upon to make an
extempore speech to make an argumentative
speech The uttermost required of him at his princ-
pal mass-meetings has been to speak about five min
utes, and ample time has been allowed him for prep
aration Yet with all that time for preparation, Mr.
Wells has yet uttered from the platform as
many as 800 words Of lucid and logical meaning. In
one of his short speeches he said that certain issues
"are momentous" and in the next breath said can
didate for Mayor should not be troubled with such
petty questions" He began his speech at Bnai
Birth Hall Monday evening in this way: II see
that have been quoted making a speech at the
banquet at the Palace Hotel wherein il is illuminated
with beautiful portrait, large display type, and
saying that the present Board of Supervisors is a
good Board OF Supervisors and that in all OF my resi-
dence here of forty years it is the best board
saw" This is sample of the Wells style Of speech.
1t is not requisite that the Mayor Of San Francisco
be an orator. but it is requisite that he be able talk
coherently His duties will require him to act as
spokesman OF the city in receiving distinguished
guests, in receiving the President if he to Cali
fornia next summer, has been suggested, and in
welcoming the delegates to important conventions
that may be held here. While, therefore, Mayor
need not aim at oratory he least have the fac
ulty Of putting together a half-dozen sentences,
each of which will be ineligible in itself and
contradictory the sentence that precedes it
that follows it Were there other ground for OBJ
ecting to Mr. Wells his speeches alone would prove
him to be utterly unfit to perform the duties of the
Mayor of San Francisco.
