lishment OF free trade in England. de-
clares that the system Is as fixed as the
rule of three. That was some years ago.
Now there is a considerable protectionist
school in England again, though it has no
standing in any party. The protectionists
look to Joseph Chamberlain as the man
who can put away the fetish" OF free
trade and strike out for protection. While
any open avowal of an attempt to enact a
protective tariff at the present time would
be howled down in England, it may come
in, like the reformation, through the back
door. The necessity of taking care Of the
deficit caused by the Boer war, which has
already sent the boasted English consols
down to 81, may lead to a general revenue
berlain or some other believer in an impe-
rial zollyerein will have the opportunity
he Is waiting for-and the zollverein idea
is in this case a protect1ontst idea. 1t
contemplates reserving the trade OF the
British empire as much as possible for Its
preference in the English market for their
natural products and England is to have
the preference in the colonies for her
goods. But before England can give pref
erences she must have general tariff.
The Boer war may bring it in.
1t would doubtless be fine thing for
England's great producing colonies If they
could have the control of the English mar
ket but it might not be so fine thing for
the British people. The latter must pay
the bills. The average Englishman long
ago made up his mind that he must large
ly get his food from across the seas, and
that he must have 1t as cheaply as posi-
Bile. 1t will require revolutionary change
to bring him to the point of receding from
the policy that has made the United King
dom such a commercial power, for the
sake Of strengthening the sentimental tie
that binds the colonies to the mother land
On the other hand, there Is In the self
governing colonies very powerful ele-
ment that wishes to purchase what it re-
quires in the cheapest market.
This fact is illustrated by the attitude OF
a section of the Canadian press, which is'
firmly opposed to any further increase in
Canadian tariffs and Is restless under the
present tariff on many articles Of manu-
facture that are largely bought from the
United States. Another curious phase Of
the attitude of Canada toward the pro-
posed imperial zollverein Is to be found in
the fact that the conservatives, presum-
ably the imperialistic party of Canada,
are found favoring high tariff against
English as well as other manufactures, in
order that Canadian industry may be
stimulated. We presume that similar diff
culties will be encountered in other colo
MES that aspire to become symmetrical ma
tons. The empire of sentiment does not
interfere with such aspirations. The en-
pire Of common interest does, for 1T largely
presumes that the United Kingdom is to
be the manufacturing center and the colo
MES the producers OF raw materials and
foodstuffs.

" 1t is an ungracious task to attempt a crit
icism of Are you a Buffalo?" an alleged
farce comedy which is at the Bijou this week.
The piece is scarcely suitable for production
in a burlesque house. Its attempts at hui
NOR are neither new nor funny; and it has
no semblance of plot.
In all probability it would be gross injus-
tice to Judge the members of the company
on their showing in this mal-attractfon OPP
portunities for fun-making are lacking; and
the company is obviously unable to overcome
the handicap placed upon them by the au-
thors <r~=s~
Three names appear upon the program as
responsible for the piece, and the result seems
to indicate that too many playwrights spoil
the play, just as too many cooks spoil the
broth. At any rate, the play has been spoiled.

make a very funny pair, recalling In way
the immortal pair of robbers in "Erminie."

maiden exhibits a strong mezzo voice OF
good quality, save when it is forced. She is
sufficiently coy and ingenious. for the pur-

fellow, but mars his work by mumbled
and run-together articulation which makes
what he says difficult to- understand. His
singing shows similar defect with the added
