MANIFESTO BY

Pamphlet Issued in Which He Car
ries Present British Tariff War
Into Enemies Camp.
STATES HIS VIEW OF SITUATION
With CHARACTERISTIC AGGRESSION
Declares That Nations Which Have
Rejected Cobden's Theories Have
Grown In Wealth and Strength
His Views on Colonies Desire for
Better Commercial Treatment.

London, Oct. 5.-"Every other nation
and all our own self-governing colonies
have refused to accept the gospel of Cob
den, and yet although they ought, accord
ing to its dogmas, to be in the last stage
OF depression and decli1e, they have
grown during the last 20 years in wealth,
population and trade and in everything
that goes to make up the greatness of a
nation"
That is the keynote of Joseph Cham
berlain's manifesto which he published
October S in the form of preface to a
shilling pamphlet entitled: Mr. Cham
berlain's Proposals; What They Mean
and What We Shall Gain by Them" by
G. A. Vince, secretary to Mr.. Chamber
lain's tariff organization.
MIR. Chamberlain does not mince mat
tiers. With characteristic aggression he
carries the war into the enemy's camp.

raised are not necessarily matters OF

New jersey Woman Meets Father
Who Had Long Thought

ton of 40 years. During all those years
Mrs. Miller supposed herself the daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Baker, late
OF Frenchtown, while Mr.. Bowman had
long believed his daughter to be dead.
Mr.. Bowman's first wife was Miss Mary
o. Anderson, of Pennsylvania. When
she died, about 40 years ago, Mrs. Miller
was w years old, and the youngest Of
i've children. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker, who
were friends OF Mr.. Bowman, were allow

TRApp1sTs WANT RECRUITS.
Famous Monastic Order Near Du-
buque, Ia, Suffers from Decrease
In Its Membership.

The authorities at the Trappist mon
astery at New Mellaray, Just outside Du-
buque, Ia, are becoming alarmed at
the rapid decrease in the membership
of the order. Only one young man has
entered the monastery during the past
year, and majority of the members
are now old men.
The abbot states that only five Ameri-
cans have entered the monastery during
the past fifteen years, and during this
period there have been twice as many
deaths among the members. twenty
five years ago the membership was
more than 100. Now there are only 60
monks left. The monastery has thou
sands of acres of good farming land,
but has been unable to. work all of it
on account Of lack of help. Unless
more young men enter the monastery
during the present year the abbot says
he will urge the parent monastery at
Mount Mellaray. Ireland, to send monks
here. The average age Of the monks in
the monastery is 81.

sity for some reconstruction of the syS-
tenn which has remained stationary and
unaltered for more than half century
while every other policy has been modi-
fed and adapted to meet modern require
ments."
Continuing, Mr.. Chamberlain also
points out that the property Of the work
ing classes has increased in greater pro-
portion in the protected countries than
in the United Kingdom.
Mr.. Chamberlain held that the consol-
ing theory that other countries are ruin
ing themselves by bounties and import
duties hardly comedies with the fact that
British exports have been practically
stationary for IL years, while those OF
other countries have increased so rapid
ly that IF the relative progress con-
tinues for few years longer they will

Speaks of the Colonies.
Dealing with the colonies desire for
better commercial treatment, Mr.. Cham
berlain says:
1T is no answer to offer them an i'm
perial council. which they have already
refused. If we reject their proposals for
reciprocity we shall be in great danger OF
losing our present trade with them, as
well as the prospects of its future extern
sion. 1t is entirely owing to the growth
of our colonial trade that the actual and
heavy decline in our imports to foreign
protected countries has been concealed in
our general returns. Do the stern advo.
Gates of unrestricted imports consider il
satisfactory that We should have nothing

The fact that able counsel has been Sc

be understood that action Will be taken
at once,
Reports vary as to the true situation in
this matter and one story has it that the
policy of the Brunswick and Birmingham
officials is to settle by arbitration suits

That the Brunswick and Birmingham

As yet there has been no institution Of

the best provision possible for the widow
