Looking Towards Protection.

For many years England has been
a free trade country, but even there
a strong sentiment in favor OF pro-
lection has made itself felt in recent
years. Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain in a speech at Birmingham
last week held that Great Britain
should be in position in which pre-
ferential treatment could be accorded
to Canada and other colonies as al
most indispensable to the preserva-
ton of the unity of the empire and
the maintenance of British prestige.
He intimated that at the next gen
eral election an opportunity would
be given to the people to do what
was necessary, "even if it occasion
ally went against their prejudices, "
to consolidate an empire which must
be maintained by relations of interest
as well as relations of sentiment. Pre-
mier Balfour speaking at London on
the same subject expressed the be-
lief that it was time for the people to
pass upon the question whether alb
solute free trade should not be sue
ceeded by some preferential system.
Nobody expects sudden change OF
highlands policy in this matter, but
it is evident that the sentiment in
favor of a-change is growing in that
country

made the discovery that the noon
regulates the rainfall. His observa.

belief that when the moon is moving
south there is plenty of rain, when it
is moving north there are years Of

and dry periods, the wet lasting nine
years and the dry ten. Strange that

old fashioned ideas with respect to
the red mans working and eating
He has been inspecting Indian reser.
vations and homes in the West and
returns with these views; He favors
the discontinuance of rations and
also would require the Indian to
work for a living. He proposes to
pay them for working on the roads
and doing other work of that kind i'll
stead of giving them free rations
If work is provided the Indians
should no longer be furnished rations
unless in accordance with some old
treaty arrangements. The 'propo.
sition to have Indian children live at
home while attending school, being
furnished with dinner at the school
may be wise, if their attendance can
be secured in that way. The Indians
should be self-supporting as far as
