That Price that staggers Humanity.

The English cabinet has gone to
pieces in its attempt to devise means
with which to meet the expenses Of
the Boer war. Four members of
the cabinet, including Joseph
Chamberlain, have resigned. Cham
berlain, more than any other man in
the United Kingdom, was respon-
sible for that disgraceful and disas-
ferrous war, and his personal down
fall is but small retribution for
the burdens which he has imposed
upon his countrymen.
The Boer war debt of a thousand
millions, when added to the king
dom's already large national debt,
has seriously affected the nations
credit. Ii the newspaper quotations
are correct, the price Of English
consols has fallen below the market
value Of the government securities
Of the admittedly decadent Spanish
nation.
For some time past Chamberlain
has been urging the levy Of tariff
tax upon breadstuifs, to provide for
the increase in the governments ex-
penses occasioned by the unchris-
tan war in South Africa, and the
working people Of that country do
not propose to stagger under that
kind ola burden if it is possible for
them to avoid it. At present they
boot at Mr.. Chamberlain when he
appears in public, and later on they
will quite likely vote his party out
Of power.
Great Britain thought that it was
SO strong in the murderous attri-
butes Of war, that it could safely
disregard the moral codes, the all
conquering power Of right, the ON
impotence of the golden rule, in its
dealings with the little Dutch repub-
lies, but it is destined for genera
tions to sia2ger under the conse-
quences Of such disregard. Great
Britain is still on the threshold Of
its troubles in South Africa.

prosperity. Yours very sincerely,

The first portion OF this letter refers
to Chamberlain's first speech on the
subject at birmingham and Bnlfour's
reply to the corn tax deputation.
Chamberlain says that neither of them
was intended to provoke purely par

yielding opposition of the Liberal par
ty, which secuted the idea that sys-
tenn generally accepted in 1876 could
possibly require modification in 1903.
