ELLIOT A FREE TRADER.
Therefore He Could Not Stay in Bal
 four Cabinet.

London. Sept. 22.-Arthur H. D. Elliot. who has just resigned the financial sec retaryship of the treasury because of his disagreement with Premier Balfour's fiscal views, writing to one of his con- stftuents in Durham City says he is in complete agreement with the free trade views of ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie. who found 1t impossible to hold office any longer in government which Is tending steadily toward a policy of pro- lection. He could not retain office with out an entire loss of self-respect. The time has arrived, he continues, when the electors must decide for or against the policy of taxing imports of food which, though deferred for the moment, will be the ultimate issue.
 Regarding retaliation and fiscal free dom, Mir. Elliot agrees with Premier Bal fours pamphlet that the government should be free to consider cases as they arise on their merits and take such action as it considers right subject to the ap- proval of Parliament.
