MISTAKES OF FREE TRADE.


A Daifour Sees Them and There Effect
on British Trade.
Balf0ur says the mistakes made by
the free traders half century ago
have left Great Britain bearing all
the burdens and enjoying only half
the advantages which should attach to
the empire. He devotes considerable
space to the effect of protection upon
combinations incountries In which pro-
lection exists. This, the premier points
out. is to the disadvantage Of the Brit
ish manufacturer, who is unable to
compete with the manufacturer who is
able to sell abroad at lower price
than he charges for the same article at
home. He gives an instance Of Ger
man steel in this particular, saying
that it is selling cheaper In England
than the English manufacturer can
possibly produce it
Balfour declares that the ortimists
who advocate a continuance Of the
free trade policy in place Of the in
jury worked by protection on Great
Britain's interests are foolish, and
their arguments little short Of reck-
less. The only possible hope of a
mitigation of the evil is through nego-
tfation, which he says can only appeal
to self-interest In foreign protected
countries, and In the case Of the col
onies to self interest coupled with SEN
timent.
Balfour concludes: "Were 1 proved
to be wrong my opinion on the funda-
mental question would remain un-
changed. Where we fail others may
succeed 1t cannot be right for coun-
try with free trade ideals to enter into
competition with protectio1ist rivals,
self-deprived Of the only inNrument
whereby their policy can concedvably
be modified. The most essential OBJ.
ject Of our national efforts should be
to get rid Of the bonds In which We
have gratuitiously entangled ourselves
The precise manner In which veehould
use our regained libery is important
yet, after all, only a secondary issue

CHARGES AGAINST A PREAoHEB

Against His Accuser, Who
Stands Pat

Shelbyville, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE high
ly sensational rumors connecting the
names of Rev. w. j. II. Boetcker with
Mrs. Fred Hinslager, religious work
er In the church, have been traced, 1t
is said, by detectives to Charles Z.
Amsden, wealthy cattle breeder.
Amsden, however, stands firm in his
charges and has said he is able to
prove them. Instead of bringing suit
against the originator nf tha rumors,
the minister issued cards to the pub
lie, asking assistance in getting hold
ON certain people who have brought
his name into the SANDER.
This action on the part of the min
lister did not satisfy the members of
the church and they propose to bring
him to q trial in the church. 1t was
reported that he promises TO bring
suit against Amsden in an effort to
prove his innocence In a court of jus
tice.

Mrs. Chamberlain went to their Lon
don home and Chamberlain proceeded
to the colonial Office.
Upon the arrival Of Chamberlain at
Downing street he was loudly hooted.
A crowd of laborers employed on the
new government buildings in course of
erection nearby joined in this unusual
demonstration against the colonial Sec
retary. Chamberlain, who was ac-
companied by Gerald Balfour, presi-
dent Of the board of trade, showed his
customary indifference to this recep-
ton. The police eventually were OBJ
1iged to fcrm double lines from Bal
four's house to the foreign Office, so
as to enable the cabinet ministers to
enter the latter place.

Wabash, Ind, Sept 16.-Several
nights ago the Harnish family, near
Lincolnyille, were prostrated by chloro-
form and it was fret reported that bur-
glars had used the drug while they
plundered the sleeping rooms. Still
later c. L. Turner reported to the su-
thorities that Mrs Belle Fountaine had
confessed to him that she used the
chloroform in an effort to murder Miss
Lola Harnish, whom she regarded as
a rival. The accused woman was ar
rested, stoutly denying that she ever
made such a confession. and she was
the victim Of a conspiracy to ruin her.
Since then. however, Mrs. Fountaine
made a confession 40 the prosecuting
attorney, admitting all as embraced in
Turner'S story.
She Tells How It Was Done.
The drug was purchased in Peru,
and after nightfall Mrs. Fountaine
drove to the Harnish home, finding the
doors open and no. ming barring en-
trance. She used the chloroform on
the sleeping members of the family,
giving particular attention to Miss
Harnish, whom she recognized in the
moonlight as she lay asleep, by her
size. Il wanted to get the girl out of
the way" says Mrs. Fountaine, land
I gave her a whole lot of it." This
was done by using a handkerchief sat
urated with the drug. After making
sure, as she supposed, of the death
OF her victim. Mrs. Fountaine took a
pocketbook and watch, so as to con-
vey the impression of burglary. and
these she threw away upon leaving
the house.

As a result of her confession she
has been sentenced to the Women's

ceived the sentence with the utmost
composure. The bench gave her a

her age. On being informed that she
was Sc years old, the judge remarked
that she had forty years yet to live,
and ttat there was a good chance to
effect a complete reformation. She

FREE TRADE IN BRITAIN.

ing Question.
sIvEs JOHN BULL THE BAG TO HOLD
With Nothing to Pay for His Trouble.
According to the Premier's
View Of the Case.

London Sept. 16.-Premier Balfour
has issued the advance sheets Of a
pamphlet on the subject Of ''insular
free trade" in which he presents at
length arguments In favor of change
In Great Britain's fiscal policy. In In
Producing the pamphlet Ralfour says
his purpose in issuing 1t Is that it
would be impossible to put all the i'm
portant points of this question within
the limits of single speech. and
therefore he says the pamphlet may
be fitting preliminary to the speech
which he will shortly make. This
undo Jbtedly refers to the speecL Bal
four will make at Sheffield Oct. 1.
Views the Subject - . Free Trader.
Balfour says he approaches the sub
5ect from the standpoint of a free
trader as far as contemporary circum-
stance will permit. He continues: II
AN a free trader, but not of the pat
tern which holds that the doctrine of
free trade Is so universal In its appli-
cation AM so capable of an exact ex-
preston that every conclusion towhich
it logically leads must be accepted
without hesitation and without re-
serve"
