England s Change Of Policy.

The British Cabinet has virtually
dissolved by the designations OF Right
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Colonial
Secretary; Right Hon. c. T. Richie
Chancellor Of the Exchequer and Lord
George Hamilton, Secretary for India
and the acceptance OF the same by
King Edward. Chamberlain repre-.
sented the pronounced tariff protec-
tlonists, and Richie and Hamilton
are extreme free traders. It's thought
that the Premier, Right Hon. A. J.
Bslfour, may likewise withdraw from
the public service. His position is be-
tween these extremes.
Whatever may be the result of the
present agitation, it certainly marks
an epoch in the history of as conserva-
tive a government as that OF Great
Britain. Several years ago Mr.. Cham
berlain preached a preferential tart fl,
which has only lately been given seri-
GUS consideration and very generally
with the impression that it is skillful
device for abandonment of free trade
which for the past half century has
prevailed. The object claimed is not
protection, but to bind together British
interests by stimulating closer COM
mercial relations, through preferential
tariff between the mother country and
her colonies and the erection of tart fl
barriers against such countries as com.
pete with colonial products. AS most
OF these are agricultural, the duties to
be applied would fall largely on class
of imports used for food, as Australia
and Canada cannot now, nor may not
be able for many years to come, to
supply the food demands OF the Eng.
lish people. Textile products. the
principal articles not used for food,
cannot stand the tariff charge from
the depression it would produce upon
industries dependent upon manufac-
turing industries.
A retaliatory tariff is not, however,
attended by as many obstacles. 1t
may be used as means for forcing
other countries to open their doors to
British products. Whether it would
result in benefit, or otherwise, it natur.
ally attracts support from the promise
is gives OF a weapon for exaction OF
fair and equal treatment.
The maintenance of free trade so
long has, Of course, made so radical a
change, very slow OF acceptance, in.
volved as it is with doubts which pre-
sent no applicable data that coincide
with the changed conditions OF the
present time. When Sir Robert Peel
resigned his position in the Govern
ment to 60 forth as champion against
a protective tariff, in 1916, he had no
better encouragement than is now &C.
corded Mr.. Chamberlain in the cru.
SADIE be proposes to inaugurate from
what he considers . better vantage
field with the masses. Still he won.
The change involved is so radical
that it may require much time to
educate the people into the new line
Of policy. A tariff for revenue, guard.
ed against the evils with which Avarice
seeks to enshrine it, 10 the ideal means
Of meeting the costs of government
and the necessity for large expendi-
tnres will doubtless command careful
confederation Of such objections and
obstacles as may be presented to the
present plan for meeting them.

Another Sacrifice to Worldly Pride.

1t almost makes the blood boil in
the veins Of every true American to
read OF the manner in which flesh and
blood, backed by wealth, are made the
subject OF barter with the Gillette nobil-
ity of the old world. 1t Was only tie
other day that the beautiful, talented
wealthy Miss May Goelet, OF New York,
was made the sacrifice OF one OF these
Infamous bargains, in which the Duke
OF Roxburghe appeared with his attor.

would wed the beautiful girl we're the

finally agreed that Miss Goelet should

and transfer all her property, amount
ing to millions in value to his owner

1t is rumored in this connection
that King Edward sanctioned the mar.
riage, giving as a reason how badly
English society needs money more
than anything else. What astounding
au dacity, or ignorance-which? What
does the intermarried English "aris-
tocracy" need more than blood, and its
natural result, brain power? Money,
indeed! Money can never buy the
proud quality of mental and moral
superiority. 1t can never raise the
titled mendicants to All equality with
the interviewer vigor of the new world.
While it is claimed by the brides
relatives that the Duke with brogu-
ish title has more friends at court
than any other noble of his rank, it
has been said that he is popinjay, in
act and thought, possessing as many
suits of clothing as there are days in
