ENGLAND AND HER COLONIES.

To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. In a former letter l endeavored 20 show that
Mr. Chamberlain's fiscal policy would benefit not
only England but materially the British colonies;
hut apart from its commercial aspect there surely
are other weighty incentives which should sway
British statesmen and people in considering that
policy.
The enormous investment OF BRUSH capital III
the colonies and dependencies should be n benefit
the industries of the home country as thFoush
the investment of that capital in developing the
colonies come increased production and sales of
raw material, food products, etc, and with these
come increased desires for and importations OF
manufactures.
With the steadiness and reliability Of supply must
come a great reduction in cost to the people Take
tea. one of England's largest importations from
the tropics; the average price is now about one
third that of twenty-five years ago, due almost
exclusively to the great production in India and
Ceylon The same holds good as regards cinchona'
jute, etc.
In 1871 India exported 1S 2S2 252 pounds of tea ana
in 1900 175O3s 127 pounds; In 1Sn Ceylon exported
sO2 pounds and in 1899 129 600 pounds -,

future of the British Empire. we must not lose

"RULE OF ANARCHISTS MUST CEASE!

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The time has come for loyal citizens to de-
clare emphaticaly that the rule Of anarchists
must cease. President Roosevelt voiced the
thought of the majority when he said that this is
not government by the mob nor by plutocracy.
You therefore to be congratulated for your
editorial the subject Of lyrchings. which
has attracted so much attention
AS far back as last December you kindly pub
lished my letter in support of law and order, un-
der the caption, Where Silence Is Criminal"
Slowly but surely public opinion has grown strong
in this direction. In that letter laid stress
the plain duty of the press to cultivate public
opinion in support of law, and added that law
is the first principle of society. There is but one
thing to do-maintain it."
Cardinal Gibbons has clearly done his duty by
his declaration on the right the citizen to work.
which was published early in June. - ~,

The country has a right to expect from them, on
account of their great influence and consequent
responsibility, a plain declaration without delay

New-York tribune., 1903-07-05

announced his purpose of meeting workingmen
on their own ground. and discussing both the
wage question and the cost of living under a
! higher revenue tariff and campaigning work
which he has ever undertaken has ever seemed
less promising His proposals have already been
condemned by labor organizations on the ground
that wages cannot be Increased by the taxation
OF imported food The trades unionists are
solidy arrayed against him at the outset for
he has chosen, either deliberately recklessly,
the line of greatest possible resistance in at
tempting to reconcile the masses to an increased
cost OF living for the sake of the colonies. There
has been a demonstration Of over one hundred
thousand miners this week in Yorkshire, at
which his proposals have been rejected con-
temptuously and with indignation affront
to the intelligence of British workingmen. His
speeches in constituencies Of this kind will be the
most ingenious and exhilarating heard in the
kingdom since Mr.. Gladstone's Home Rule
pagn. He will not have the advantage enjoyed
by American protectionists in pointing to un-
restricted supplies of food at home and rising
scale of wages during the transition period when
their system was in a tentative stage and it's
utility had not been demonstrated to the salts
faction Of consumers. He will have the
difficult task of disarming popular prejudice
against the revival of the laws. against
which the nation in revolt during Cob
denis time. Upon his success in commanding a
hearing this question in the industrial cen
tres Of the Midlands and the North will depend
to large extent the fortunes of the fiscal revo-
luton
Mr.. Gladstone's adversaries used to say with
fine irony that his chief claim to statesman
ship rested upon his success in breaking up his
party, not once, but twice Mr.. Chamberlain has
not been Prime Minister, but by making an ef-
fective stand against the Home Rule policy he
defeated the Liberal party and drove it from
power; and, after being the master spirit among
the Unionists, and the only member of the min
istry in touch with the masses and capable Of
commanding their support, he is now running a
dangerous risk of breaking up his party a sec
ond time Like Mr.. Gladstone, however, he is
at unrivalled debater in the Commons
and orator and leader with whom the masses
are in sympathy. They fascinated by his
picturesque personality; they honor him because
he has declined titles and decorations and re-
mained plain joe and they love to hear his
voice, to watch his jaunty air of self-conf-
dence and to feel that there is at least one fight
ing man left in British politics. These autumn
meetings, at which the champion of tariff re-
vision and imperial unity will boldly argue his
case in the presence Of British workers, promise
to be the most interesting events in the public
life of the English speaking race. l. N F.

have visited the forest operated in connection
with the school, and found there very instructive
series of operations in forestry; it is by far the
best place in the United States to learn the vari-
Gus methods of forest improvement. Some of the
papers claim DR.. Fernows work there to be "a
mistake in forestry" l am in position to know
the anlmus Of this movement against DR.. Fernow,
ana 1t is thoroughly disgusting. 1t high
ume that the people of New-York became aware
that they have by far the best forest school on
the continent and in a fair way be the best in
the world, if not obstructed by petty and ignorant
