Ritchie stiII Free Trader.

Mr.. Ritchie, who made a general reply
read a carefully prepared statement. The
government, he said. thought there should
be an inquiry into preferential duties. He
avowed himself an out and out free trader
and added that. with his present knowledge
he could not be a party to policy which
he believed would be detrimental to the
interests OF both Great Britain and the
colonies, and he believed that the inquiry,
from which he would not shrink, would
confirm his present views.
He justified the remission of the grain
duty and contended that the millers and
farm ers had not benefited by them. In his
opinion the consumer had paid the tax,
which had pressed most heavily on tho
poorest classes. Although he was pre-
cluded by the speakers ruling from discus
sing preferential tariffs he might say on
behalf of himself and his colleagues what
ne and they thought. The members OF the
government who had spoken on the sub
ject had spoken for themselves and not
for the government All thus far that had
been suggested was that the matter should
be discussed and inquired into.
Mr.. Ritchie concluded with saying that
the grain duty was properly imposed as
the result of a great national emergency
and had been properly removed when the
prospects were brighter. He denied that
there had been any Inconsistency, and
while he regretted that the government had
wounded the feelings of some OF it's sup
porters he believed Its action would be in
dorsed by the country. 1t was the foreign
and not the British farmers who had
gained by the tax.
Mr.. Ritchie's outspoken reputation Of
Mr.. Chamberlain's proposals caused i'm
mense satisfaction In the Hobbies OF th'
house No such situation has risen In the
Parliamentary world since the memorable
split on the home rule bill, and the keen
est interest Ia manifested in regard to pos
sible developments.
While Mr.. Rltchies speech also gave rise
to fresh rumors regarding an early disso
luton It is not really essential before late
in the autumn ur more probably next year
The recent resignation Of r. w. f. Middle

Praises ChamberIain's work.

Referring to the suggested preferential
tariff, he declared he yielded to no one in
appreciating the splendid work of Mr.
Chamberlain. No colonial secretary had
ever done so much 10 bind the colonies
to the motherland or so much TO make the
colonies feel their position and duties as
part of the empire. He wished, however,
TO know whether Mr.. Chamberlain's opin-
ion was that of united cabinet The re-
peal OF the GRAIN duty appeared to be a
direct bar 20 the adoption OF preference
principles. He therefore concluded that the
opinion of the cabinet as a whole was the
same with regard TO these principles as
when he, as a member of 1t, opposed colon
ial preference in regard to wines. sugar and
grain, and he was convinced that matters
could not last long in their present In.
definite state.
A continuance of the premiers attitude
OF suspended judgment was impossible. It
was not fair to the members OF the party
whose constituents wanted information.
The question was dividing the unionists
and making the opposition a happy family.
Mr.. Chamberlain's proposals would do more
to disunite than to unite the empire and
II he persisted in them they would destroy
the unionist party.

Chaplin supports Grain Tax.
Henry Chaplin. NJ. p, former presI-
dent Of the Board of Agricultural and the
malcontent unionists were actively en-
agaged early in the day I'm and around
Westminster, in rallying the supporters OF
Mr.. Chaplin's amendment TO the budget
bill, which declares that the removal OF
tax on grain involves a needless and in
furious disturbance of trade and serious
loss OF revenue, without substantial relief
for the consumer" and that II any taxes
are removed 1t should be those levied on
tea and other articles OF general consump.
tion.
Before the debate opened Premier Bal
four aseertainded from John Redmond, the
Irish leader, that the nationalist members
of Parliament would support the govern.
ment, as against Mr.. Chaplin. The liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman
has already announced that his party would
also uphold the proposal OF Chancellor OF
the Exchequer Ritchie TO remit the grair
tax. This practically insured the govern
ment from possible defeat at the hands O.
its own supporters.

to the budget bill. as the question Of pref
erential tariff rates between Great Britain
and its colonies was not raised in the bill.
The scope OF the debate was thus largely
curtailed at the outset.
MIR. Ritchie, having formally moved the
second reading OF the budget bill. Mr.. Chap
lin, who was received with cheers, moved
his amendment and proceeded warmly
to attack the chancellor OF the exchequer,
TO whose ineptitude he said, they owed
their present remarkable position.
In repeating the grain duty Mr.. Chaplin
said Mr.. Ritchis had made an irretrievable
mistake and had precipitated movement
for which neither his party nor the country
were prepared.
For a moment he appeared TO have pre-
vailed over Mr.. Chamberlain, but his tri-
umph would be short-hved. Mr.. Chaplin
blamed the government for yielding to MT
Ritchie, saying the ministers had thrown
away n weapon which would have helped
them to carry out the new fiscal policy to
which Mr.. Balfour and Mr.. Chamberlain
were committed.
Useless TO Seek Leadership.
Mr.. Chaplin referred to the extraordinary
position in which the followers of the gov
ernment had been placed by the indecsior
Of the ministers II was useless, he added
to seek guidance or leadership from them
He concluded with formally moving his
amendment, on which he said he meant tC
divide the house The motion was sec
onded and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach fol
lowed.
He commenced by saying that his view
of the general fiscal and political situation
was quite different from the view held by
Mr.. Chaplin. Sir Michael. continuing, salt
his colleagues were perfectly aware, tina
the grain duty was unpopular when he hat
insugurated It, but It had been a success
and he had heard the proposal TO repea
the duty with surprise and regret.
He considered that the duty was neces
sary because of the growth of expenditur
against which he had protested. Had hi
protests been received with greater sym
pathy by his colleagues he would not nov
be speaking from a bench above the gang
way. 1t was impossible for a chancello
of the exchequer TO reduce expenditur
without the hearty and continuous supper
of the premier. No money was worse spen
than money expended on the army. H
earnestly appealed to the premier to assur
the house that he was determined to sto
the increase in the normal expenditure.
! Sir Michael said he was opposed {
Mr.. Chaplin's amendment, although h
sympathized with the latter's objection
the repeal of the grain duty, but he bt
| lieved the alternative policy to be a create
| evil. Having to choose between two evil
he would choose the lesser and support tn
