From the Nc. York Evening Post
Mr. Chamberlain preferential tariff ideas cold comfort the
House of Lords What little added to the hostile arguments
recently advanced in the Commons contributed by
hnanc Nscount Gosccu demonstrated cogenty pro-
posed Zovcren would put the Treasury first under the ~ of the
colonies mercy wholly uncomfortable
Before ventrng hazardous he urged his party
remember first that should protection prove financially
Great Britain could
colonies while second under the tariff especially framed
stimulate Importation from the colonies the very increase of such
would reduce equal trade with British
other words would greatly diminish the duiabc imports
and hence the treasury receipts.
Aside from Ncount Goscen demonstration of the financial
vicious circle into which Chamberlain trying guile
less counnen the interest the session personal and lay large
in the contrast between the speeches OF Lord Landown and the
Duke Of Devonshre Lord Lansdownes attitude very
his Chief with Mr. Iaour his was the ope-mnded way tariff
union would probably plunge the Empire into embarrassing series
tariff nstancng Germany but then there things
an snow OF force Marching among those VINO wore reVoverS Eng
land might least buy revolver and display Being interpreted this
meant was perfectly sale ana poc to talk tariff union IN the teeth
poecon nations and perhaps eNpeden to continue the talk mde
niey Parliamentary commission Like Mr. Bafou Lord lans
downe studously avoided criticism OF Mr. Chamberlain
Conservative Duke of Devon
shire took the Foreign Secreta revolver metaphor the ag
mena dispatches do but enough has to show
that the Duke sees in weapon the danger OF which lies in the butt
rather than in the muzz He ready discuss tariff union
other but he unwilling admit that the desires and in
Stncts Mr. Chamberlain and all the colonies together could make
good OF bad That is the Uni
onst leader the Lords apparently quite join battle with
Mr. Chamberlain on this issue as was Mr. Rche or Sir Michael
Hicks Beach himself
This firm stand can only strengthen the prestige of one who prob
ably without personal ambitions by considered the most g
bic Mr. Baour And the readiness the dean of the
Liberal oppose members body
OF discomures which have beaen Mr. Chamberlain
his Birmingham speech Mr. Chamberlain had
by studOuy accentuang his so
ton from the Government ConspcuOuy absent from the Treasury
Bench he openly neered like the Land Purchase bill
and the London Education bill paOcha He sky timed the
plosion his Brmmagem bomb fall period OF asstude
Government and of boredom among the people He his
and his applause but instead being taken seriously
very practical joker very much
certain Wall fnancer who threatened by visitor
with sache OF dynamite had said Your bag admirably convcd
allow valuable article safe deposit while dscus
many and advantages Quite in this fashion Mr. Balour
cd his rebeliouS colleague.
Probably long look the future OF the Conservative party would

Beach the Duke OF Devonse but be admitted that
OF mountaineering Mr. Chamberlain the formers
suly Whether the Colonial Secretary the Pre-
mep kind moral asccntency in the Conservative
party he had everything gain from prompt dissolution he could
Mr. Baour amy with the Irish bill unpassed par
icuay he could have brought about temporary OF the dis
organized power fairly presented
the only hope OF the Conservatives
When the Liberals refused to make Mr. Chamberlan protection
and Mr. BaOur promulgated haste the
doctrine OF Ministerial liberty Of disagreement with the Govern
Mr. Chamberlain stood clearly Outgeneraled The Ministry
with the Of the IrD will dissolve its Mr. Cham
berans and likely the party seek sturr
leadership than Mr. Baous the Duke Devons nequvOca
the tariff scheme will remind Unonists the
strength the party lodged in the versatile pushu Mr.
Chamberlain.
