Tarte Thrown Out.

j. Israel Tarte, Canadian minister of
public works, who has stirred up the
present epidemic Of tariff discussion in
Canada, has had his resignation very
CURLY accepted by Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
the premier, who has just returned from
a long absence in Europe. In accepting
the resignation, Sir Wilfrid said that Mr..
Tarte's course in advocating a policy of
high protection while his premier was
abroad, without even consulting him, was
wholly unconstitutional and contrary to
all notions of responsible government.
Sir Wilfrid is right. 1t is wonderful
that he did not demand .Tarte's resigna-
ton by telegraph some weeks or months
ago. The present liberal ministry came
into power in Canada on a free trade
platform, The liberal party not having
changed it's views, and the premier not
having announced any new policy, the
presumption is that, at least, the Cana
dian government is not high-protective
tariff government. But for some months
now Mr.. Tarte who, personally, was al
ways a protectionist has been jumping
around Canada as if possessed, talking
the highest kind of protection and preach
ing it through the columns of his paper,
La Patrie of Montreal. He has been an
swered by MIR. -Sifton, minister of the in
terror, and others, and there has been
the warmest kind of a tariff debate
throughout Canada between the free trade
or low tariff and the high tariff sections
Of the liberal party, with the conserva-
tives officiating as allies Of Mr.. Tarte
ct al.
Mr.. Tarte's course has undoubtedly
greatly weakened the hold Of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier on his position, and has also tend
led to demoralize the liberal party
| At the same time Sir Wilfrid himself is
much to blame for present conditions
The promised lower tariffs on which he
came into power have never materialized
it being absurd to label the English pref
erential tariff as a low tariff measure
since it is from the United States that
are imported the bulk Of the articles
which the Canadian consumers desire tc
purchase at lower prices. AS matter
of fact, the liberal tariff has been moth
ing but the conservative tariff. Sir Will
frid Laurier, failing to give positive tar
if reform legislation; after having prom
ised it, was the means of greatly encour-
aging the high protectionists.
| The resignation Of Tarte brings the
contention in Canada near to head and
presages the coming of another election
which will be fought on tariff lines once
more. American interest in the struggle
hinges on the fact that If the conserva-
tives return to power, the chance fol
reciprocity between the United States and
minimum, but may be made an inipossi-
bility.

What America Sells England.
From Scribner's.

We have secured practical control of the
matchmaking industry: our tobacco manu-
fecturers have become the dominating in
fiueEce IN the English trade situation: half
the newspapers Of England are printed on
American presses or upon presses built on
American models in English shops that are
branches OF the home manufactures Many
o. those newspapers are printed on Ameri-
can paper One OF the serious obstacles
hampering English industries is illustrated
in the paper trade. The freight from the
New England paper mills to the London
docks Is less than from the Cardiff mills
to the metropolis, and one-half the freight
charge on an American shipment il made
up of terminal charges incurred in the last
twelve miles Of the 3000-miie Journey.
Probably half the electric cars In the
united kingdom are driven by American
made motors. When the English postal
authorities entered the telephone field no
English firm could supply the number of
Instruments wanted. and the contract went
to a Chicago company. :.

1T is not generally known to users OF

when the ear-piece of a receiver is held to
the mouthpiece OF the transmitter a more
o. less shrill tone or whistle is heard in
the receiver. This occurs when the appa-
ratus is In good working condition and
when the transmitter is on short circuit
This effect is seemingly due to a series OF
reactions analogous to. but much more COM
pick than. those which occur in an electric
bell when its circuit is closed A move
ment Of the diaphragm OF the receiver to-
ward its magnet tends to weaken the pres
sure on the carbon OF the transmitter,
allowing the diaphragm TO fall away with
compressed, Increasing the pressure on the
carbon again. and also increasing current
strength. whereby the diaphragm is again
attracted. and this action Is repeated over
and over again. Recent investigation OF
these phenomena indicates. as might be an
ticipated. that it Is dependent upon the fun
damental rate of vibration Of the receiver
and transmitter. the length OF the air COL
umn inclosed between them, and also the
oscillation period of the circuit. The above
references to the attraction of the diaphragm
and to its falling away are perhaps. rather
