BUDGET BILL AMENDMENT.
Lively Debate In the Eritish House Of
Commons.

London, June 11.-1hat the interest

hanced by the dramatic developments S
Tuesday was fully evidenced during
the day by the remarkable animation
and alertness of everybody in and
about the houses of parliament when
the time approached for the resump-
ton of the debate in the house of COM
mons on the amendment of Henry
Chaplin, Conservative, to the budget
bill
The answers to the questions not re.
ferring to the great problem Of the
day passed almost unnoticed, so keen
was the anxiety to get to the all ab-
sorbing topic.
The debate was resumed by Major
Eeeley Conservative. who. as a con.
vinced free trader, rejoiced in the re.
peal Of the grain tax.
Sir Charles Dixie. Advanced Radi-
cal. contended that the house had the
right to demand an opportunity for
pronouncing judgment on this impor-
tant fiscal question. There was enor-
nous exaggeration in the statement
that it was foolish for this country
to maintain policy differing from
that of the rest Of the world While
the United States and Germany were
reaping much prosperity under pro
lection Great Britain's foreign exports
at the present moment were equal to
the combined exports of the United
States, Germany and France. which,

speaker denied that protectionist
countries were cutting out Great Brit

Germany had not even hurt Great Brit

when one considered the great natural
advantages of the United States, her
size and her highly cultivated popula-
ton, it was marvellous that she had
not years ago attained the first place
in trade. The commerce of the United
States had progressed independently
of protection; but it had been retarded
rather than advanced by the adoption
of protection.
