Concerning the Indictment against
Tyner and Barrett. the following state
ment was made by the postoffice de-
partment: Three indictments charge
Tyner. and Barrett with conspiracy,
and two additional indictments charge
Barrett with agreeing. while still in
office, to receive fees for services rem
dered, or to be rendered. in cases pend
ing before him as officer. All the in
dictments are founded upon the treat
ment by T'yner and Barrett of the
business u the so-called bond invest
ment companies.
1T is charged that It was the duty
of Tyner and Barrett-assistant attor-
ney general and assistant attorney for
the postoffice department-to fnvesti-
gate the methods Of concerns charged
with improper use of the mails. and In
case of guilt to report to the post
master general and recommend the is
sue Of fraud order; that in this con-
nection they investigated the business
of the bond investment companies and
learned that they were all carrying ON
. business that involved fraud or lot
tery or both; but that instead Of rec
omending to the postmaster general
the issue of an order that would pre-
vent the delivery of mail or the pay
ment Of money orders to those con-
Germs. and would thus break up their
business, Tyner and Barrett couspired
to give them unobstructed use of the
mails, in order that Barrett might prof
1t thereby"
Barrett Is said to have gone into a
law partnership to become effective
Jan. ], 1901, to represent bond invest
mcnt concerns before the postofice de-
partment, and that in conspiracy with
Tyner he investigated the bond in
vestment concerns, finding them illegal.
but that they could be made legal
while still retaining their basic prin-
ciples, and that the two obtained the
postmaster generals signature to a let
ter giving the companies a reasonable
time to make the change, during
which the companies were not to be
interrupted. About this time-Decem-
Der, 1900. Barrett notified the compa-
MES that be had resigned his govern
ment position and entered a law part
nership, the object Of the letter being

we are defeated the country will lose

He then adduced statistics showing
the slow increase in British exports
and continued: "On the other baud
the protected countries Which you have
been told and I myself one time be-
lieved were going rapidly to wreck and
ruin have progressed indefinitely bet
ter In proportion than ourselves, and
instead Of, as Golden believed. our re-
naming the workshop for the world we
are sending less and less Of our manu-
factures abroad, whilst the protected
countries are sending more and more
OF their manufactures here.
This loss Of trade to the protected
countries has not been noticed hitherto
because during the same period our
exports to the British colonies have in
creased In a ratio to counterbalance
this loss, and are now more valuable
than our trade with the whole Of Eu-
rope and the United States together.
Our colonial trade, in fact, is the most
rapidly increasing, important and val
liable of all our trade" He said that
British exports of manufactures had
decreased nearly one-half, while her
imports of the same had increased to
more than double annually since 1872.
Then he added: Il do not COM

His First Speech in His Pro-

As a Pioneer but Not as Party Lead
er-Gives His Reasons for Ad-
yocating a Change OF
British Policy.

Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 7.-St. An
drews hall was packed to its full ca
pacity, 6,0OO, when Joseph Chamber
lain rose to deliver the first speech of
his fiscal campaign His appearance
cau-ed a tremendous outburst Of en-
thusiasm, the ovation lasting for sew
eral minutes. Chamberlain, in COM
mencing his speech, said that his first
duty was to thank the great repre-
sentative audience for Offering him the
opportunity of explaining for the first
time in some detail his views on the
subject Of the fiscal policy in the city
from wfich free trade first took birth,
and In which Adam Smith taught.
Lessons from Adam Smith.
He paid tribute to Adam Smith, to
whom, however, he said it was not
given TO foresee all the changes which
had occurred during the last century
aad half. Adam Smith, neverthe-
less, was aware of the Importance of
home markets compared to foreign
ones, and CHAMBERLAIN had been i'm
pressed by the manner in which he
advocated retaliation under certain con-
ditlons, and how he urged reciprocal
trade between the colonies and the
mother country.
Tribute to Premier Balfour.
He said this was not party meeting
nor himself party leader, but he was
still loyal to the party whose union
and strength is essential to the wei
fare of the empire. He continued: 1t
seems as though In this country there
have always been men 10 do not
know the meaning of loyalty and
friendship. To them / say that moth
ing they may do will have the slight
est influence to affect in the slightest
degree the friendship and confidence
existing between the premier and my
self. To my friends and supporters in
the great struggle on which l have en-
tered say give no encouragement to
mean or libellous insinuations, for In
no conceivable circumstances will
allow myself to be in any sort Of com
petition, direct or indirect, with my
friend and leader.
